I'm nobody, but bannish 2 or 3 a week. What do they want?

America has bombed and killed a hundred plus Iranian children. They are so used to their own citizens shooting school children, they seem immune to it. Sick to my stomach of Trump and his parade of greedy, selfish sycophants. Unbearable times.

Frank Skinner in today's Observer....
'Hearing actors, artists and writers complaining about AI reminds me of when blokes in the pub were complaining about Eastern European builders'.... not sure where I am on this, but I get his point.

Britain’s Story: The Next Chapter - the BBC Royal Charter Review, Green Paper and public consultation The government is consulting the public to aid decision-making on the terms for the BBC Charter’s renewal and any changes needed to help the BBC to continue to serve the public.

This takes about 10 minutes, but if you value the BBC, despite the best efforts if Chris Mason, please to fill in a questionnaire. I can guarantee, the anti Beebs will have been busy.

So Russia aids Iran, but Trump allows India to buy Russian oil. Meanwhile Starmer is the bad guy. All making sense?

Not too shabby.

Agree, something has gone rotten.

Hats off to Italy. Frustrating watching England at the mo.

I remembered the words of the anticolonial poet and leader AimΓ© CΓ©saire. β€œThe hour of the barbarian is at hand,” he wrote in his β€œDiscourse on Colonialism” in 1950. β€œThe modern barbarian. The American hour. Violence, excess, waste, mercantilism, bluff, conformism, stupidity, vulgarity, disorder.”

Worth a reminder. Trump is Putins poodle.

This iceberg was once the biggest in the world. Now it has just weeks left - BBC News A23a was once twice the size of Greater London but now its 40-year journey is coming to an end.

All the wrong people have imposter syndrome.

What pisses me off more than I'd like to admit is that Hegseth is too stupid/drunk/both to realize just how pathetic and weak he sounds when he thinks he's being cool and badass. It's not fair. There should be like a drug we could give him to make him self-aware and cringe until he shits himself.

Hmm who to trust Ukraine or Hungary?

This is a disaster. Trump is such an idiot.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say β€” The Washington Post The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

Not quite sure what it will take for MAGA to see Putin as an enemy.

I gardened this morning, but now it's raining so I'm watching Mr Nobody Against Putin in BBC iplayer. Highly recommended.

Hats off to Lloyd's of London. They know their business.

I finally got to watch Spielberg's masterpiece Band of Brothers recently. Listening to the testament of the real soldiers at the end of each episode, it's hard to imagine what they would make of the filthy, thieving coward that is Trump. I do so hope that America can recover after he is gone.
