Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied.

But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.

Europe has tried cooperating, flattering, pandering, humouring, tolerating, excusing, disbelieving, reassuring, explaining-away, appeals to rational self-interest, patient diplomacy, concessions, presents and looking the other way.

It has achieved the total sum of fuck-all. It’s barely noticed.

This man is an evil psychopath.

Change the names of the countries and these could be the ravings of any of the worst butchers and tyrants of modern history

Europe should have the bare minimum of dealings with him and his corrupt cabal necessary and be proud to disassociate itself from his regime.

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.

Hearing ludicrous calls to sign Maddison if we go up - he’s a very talented player but has such a bad injury record, it would be a way to overspend and go down with him only playing 5 games. #pusb

Starting to think the British press aren't coping too well with the Green Party wanting to tax wealth fairly.

Protesters outside Nigel Farage event say 'Swindon is an anti-racist town' Protesters outside Nigel Farage's Reform UK rally in Swindon have shared why they think Swindon is an 'anti-racist town.

"Multiculturalism should be celebrated."

Protesters sent a strong message to Farage and Reform UK in Swindon. Well done πŸ‘

Farage is very clearly a borderline, if not actual, alcoholic. Physically, I doubt he’d last a year as PM.

"Covid will be over in two weeks. Gone by Easter"
"We're signing a health care plan within two weeks"
"They’re dying, Russians & Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. I’ll have that done β€” I’ll have that done in 24 hours"

Based on his record, this isn’t ending anytime soon.

It’s pretty wild that we KNOW there is compromising blackmail on our current president and it’s just kind of ignored.

I think I've probably used a bank note once in the past month and maybe a coin at some point too to get a supermarket trolley.

Amazing how much energy is being spent this week by the right of British politics on something that is rapidly becoming an irrelevance

Increasingly I wake about six, going to bed at 1ish but can sometimes get a couple of hours from eight. I am retired now but sometimes need to get up before ten.

This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.

The Venn diagram of groups pushing that 'cash is king' and those with a vested interest in money laundering is practically a circle

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.

🚨 The NHS must always remain free.

"Farage has not ruled out other reforms, such as moving funding of the NHS from general taxation to an insurance system."

If we're going to have a debate about Churchill, I trust this will include his racism, his use of the Black & Tans in Ireland and Palestine, sending the army in to break a miners' strike in Wales and a gunboat up the Mersey to intimidate striking dockworkers? Oh and Gallipoli?

It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.

The 2004 romantic comedy film β€œThe Truth About Love” was set and filmed almost entirely in Bristol. Thanks to its bizarre plot, ropy script and one of the strangest ever attempts at a British accent from Jennifer Love Hewitt, the film holds a rare 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

"The world rushes to believe what Trump says, without ever stopping to think if he makes most of it up, or has a plan."

Despite mounting evidence, is Trump still trying to blame Iran for killing 165 people at a girls school amid US strikes on the country?

Doubt much of the electorate have noticed but the mess Badenoch and Farage have got into over Iran shows just how beatable they are.
