Igor Tudor enacts ghostly role in the most stupid of hires with Tottenham too bad to stay up | Barney Ronay The problem here is not the interim manager, it’s the ad hoc interim ownership and the short-term sense of identity at this ghost town club

“Why are you so sh1t?” the Crystal Palace fans asked of Tottenham Hotspur as the game entered its final stretch of time simply passing.

It is a very good question deserving of a serious answer (if anyone cares).

Very funny, though . . .

Spurs = Truly Dreadful.

Trump ousts DHS secretary Kristi Noem and replaces her with Republican senator Noem’s tenure was marked by killings of US citizens by federal agents, a rumored affair and $220m spent on ads

“Good riddance. Kristi Noem was a disaster.”

Rep Balint is a great member of the opposition.

The IRIS Dena, a prized destroyer in the Iranian Navy, had participated in an international naval exercise in India last month. The ship had been making its way back toward Iran from Visakhapatnam, a city in India where the joint exercise ended on Feb. 25. The United States was among the many participants in the drills.

so the US Navy fired on and sank a vessel returning home from a joint exercise that the US Navy also participated in ... is that skating kinda close to the line of perfidy? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/w...

I'd probably have made a deal with them to prevent them enriching uranium. You know, rather than ripping one up, bombing them illegally and claiming I'd 'obliterated' their nuclear capabilities, then bombing them all over again a few months later because of their...er, nuclear capabilities.

They claim to have been planning this for months, to allegedly keep Americans safe, but had no plan to evacuate any Americans from the region because it happened too quickly.

Weird.

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

#Trump will eventually run out of countries to attack (in terms of seeking to distract from his depravity revealed by the #Epstein files).

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Starmer may have been a disappointment as Prime Minister domestically.

But it doesn’t bear thinking about the state we’d be in if Badenough or Farage were in Downing Street right now.

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s attempts to appeal to centre-ground voters may cause tension in his party, according to Hope Not Hate

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave.

No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.

Trump administration has still not settled on reasons for going to war with Iran The rationale keeps changing – from Iran planning a preemptive strike to lobbying by Israel

Could the real reason possibly be to ‘distract’ from the #Trump maladministration’s coverup of the #Epstein files? . . .

Want to stop Farage with your vote? At the moment you can’t – and Starmer must fix that | Polly Toynbee The PM’s in-tray is overflowing. But he can’t afford to neglect the real issue that is distorting our politics and the way we live, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

The U.K. needs a national commission on electoral reform, which is backed by twice as many voters as those who would keep the current system.

Currently, the next general election will be all about how to stop a hard-right candidate winning on a minority vote.

Trump insists Israel did not force US hand on Iran attack as he meets German chancellor – live US president appears to contradict Marco Rubio remarks that Israel planned to strike Iran first, claiming ‘If anything, I might have forced Israel’s hand’

Yet, most of the world belives that #Mossad said:

"Listen you Mango Moron - Our 'Agent #Epstein' gave us full copies of the videos of you and the underage girls, so when we say 'Fire the US' missiles at #Iran' your only question is: Some of them or all of them?"

Pete Hegseth sets the tone for Trump’s politically incorrect war on Iran In a combative press conference, the Pentagon chief dodged questions about the goals of the US military’s Iran operation

Pete Hegseth was barred from serving on duty at the inauguration of Joe Biden after a fellow National Guardsman flagged Hegseth as an "insider threat", noting a far-right Christian fundamentalist tattoo on his biceps.

I expect Trump to begin musing about using limited nuclear weapons soon enough. He’s now completely drunk with power.

Sunday thought: Trump’s Real Reason for War Friends,

open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
"...Here’s the real reason for this war. Trump wants it to divert Americans’ attention from everything that’s gone to shit on his watch: the economy, ICE’s cruel raids and murders, the crisis in public health as exemplified by the measles..."
And of course Epstein

RHODES: “.. This was a decision made by one man with no legal basis, little public support and no coherent explanation of an endgame.”

Donald Trump just became the first US Commander in Chief since 1991 to have three American fighter jets shot down by another country… and somehow, it wasn’t even an enemy.
