Making a stand while I sit on my arse. Technology and sustainability PR. Pro EU, democracy, tolerance, and nuanced debate. Beer, wine, sailing, song, rugby.
So Reform Wales boss Nathan Gill gets 10+ years jail and it perhaps becomes clearer as to why Farage and MEPs from his Brexit Party (now Reform) voted against a European Parliament resolution in Oct 2019 that called for stronger EU measures to counter Russian propaganda and election interference.

MusK is like the Zorg character in The Fifth Element. With all his power and with all his scheming he's suddenly choking on a cherry stone. In this instance the cherry stone has a name, Mamdani, the new Mayor of New York.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Hey Palantir, why not go the whole hog with branded tazers, cable ties, hoods and cattle prods? You know, all the lifestyle accessories favoured by dictators and authoritarian regimes. Next you'll be saying that Nazis had a good logo and mission statement.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch.

Between being called The Butcher's Apron and right now, the Union Jack had a period where it stood for fairness, justice, tolerance and welcome and I bloody well resent it being appropriated by those who have in their hearts none of the above.

No doubt this is what man-made climate change-denying Andrea Jenkyns would like to see happen here. All the Reform types say their anti-migrant protest is about protecting children but that doesn't extend to passing on a habitable planet. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Trump to scrap landmark finding that regulates carbon emissions
Experts warn the move will severely curb the federal government's ability to combat climate change.

Israel's a country where for many the red mist's descended. The blood lust's up and kept up by those whose political lives depend on the genocide continuing. But when the last medic's been bombed, the last journalist shot & the last family buried alive, who's next?

For those bitching about lowering voting age - young people will be the most impacted by the climate change. They see many of the supposed adults in the room - mainly those doing the bitching - doing Jack Shit and decrying Net Zero targets. It's only right they should have a say.

Just figured out why Trump's head is orange.
He is, in medical parlance, termed PP - Pumpkin Positive
Shine a torch in his ear and the whole head lights up.

Would all those, on the Right and Left, who were so enraged by Bob Vylan at Galastobury care to weigh in with the same level of vociferousness on this?

The @BBCNews' motto is "Nation shall speak peace unto nation". The motto was adopted by the BBC in 1927, when it was formed. It now now has a caveat: "unless it's about the Israeli genocide in Gaza, in which case we keep silent."
