Being prepared to go to war with your closest allies because you were not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize does seem like the clearest possible vindication of the decision that you didn’t deserve it.

For well over a decade, Nigel Farage criticised Davos and just two years ago criticised Starmer for going and calling him a

"full-on globalist, hanging out with his mates at the World Economic Forum."

So, question. Where do you think Nigel Farage is going today?

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

So many totally inadequate people have risen to the top.

Look at this ridiculous man

Thinks he could and should be Prime Minister.

Not an original idea in his head and all the charisma of a potato.
Robert Jenrick, "I have chosen to put long standing party allegiance to one side and to put the country first"

Laura Kuenssberg, "You've done the opposite"

"You've joined the party that is ahead in the polls"

Women helped to build Great Britain but were denied credit for their work.
The Matilda Effect describes the systematic bias where women's scientific and intellectual contributions are overlooked, minimized, or credited to male colleagues, named after suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage.
Misogynists - such relaxed and happy people. So comfortable in their gossamer thin skins. So happy with their life's work and all they never achieved.

JD Vance:

"You have a woman who aimed her car at a law enforcement officer and pressed on the accelerator - nobody debates that."

The video of the incident does not show that and a lot of people debate that.

Trump and Hegseth are trying to intimidate me into silence. After 25 years in the Navy, I can tell you — that's not going to work. This is about defending everyone's First Amendment rights.

I'm no lawyer, but I suspect if I invented a company that did fuck all, and then got my mates to gift it a massive contract for the provision of fuck all, and then got caught red handed taking shed loads of cash and providing fuck all, I'd end up exactly where I belonged. It's not what you know...

This is what Reform UK does.

“These closures are nothing short of a betrayal of local people and staff.”

“Derbyshire county council did not stand before the electorate last May pledging to shut care homes."

ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton.

“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”
