Amazing how the Orange Bone Spur man who ducked military service revels in killing and violence done by others to others.

Trump brags to military leaders about his strikes on boats: "They don't want go fishing. I don't blame them. There will be no fishing today. It's amazing what strength will do."

After all the horrors inflicted on Gaza, to have Tony Blair presiding over the ruins as the emissary of Trump and Netanyahu is the final moral disgrace.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 16d

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain.

They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city.

Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

The most terrifying thing about the Reform/MEGA surge w/ regards to the US isn't that so many British voters don't see the cruelty, illegality, authoritarian overreach, white Christian nationalism, bullying, incompetence etc - it's that they do see it and want it.

Very. That argument is a horrible veneer which assumes that almost any 'concern' (eg. Asylum seekers are 'fighting age men') is legitimate merely because someone is concerned about it

It's almost as if Mosley-Farage has hate, racism, lies and xenophobia coursing through his rancid bloodstream. Almost as if he were a genuinely evil, hollowed-out shell of a human masquerading as Mr Everyman, who is intent on dragging his country into the moral sewer that he inhabits.

Señor Tough Guy Chainsaw Man not looking so tough nowadays. Mired in corruption along with his crooked sister. Argentinian economy going down the tubes. Forced to seek help from the psycho who just humiliated America once again in front of the world.

Triste.

These agents should never know a moment’s peace. I think what is uniquely sadistic about them is how much fun they are having.

ICE agents held a man’s five year old autistic daughter and taunted him with “Is that your daughter” in an attempt to get him to come out of the house.

They were rebuffed but two days later took him from his car.

The malignant cruelty that Farage proposed today will transform the UK into a moral abyss where anything is possible. It will wreck our society and turn into something hideous and monstrous.

To those who are shocked by MAGA'S supposed pivot away from free speech, this from Goebbels really does capture the spirit of what is happening now. America hurtling towards tyranny at terrifying speed.

If I hear another liberal journalist say the Reform/Robinsonites have nowhere to because 'no one listens to them', my face may melt.

No one listens to me, but I don't feel the need to follow criminals and racist grifters calling for mass deportations and demonising refugees as sexual predators.
