Agree with Kevin. I think there’s a big chunk of the UK right now- and certainly all of the bits which control institutions- that are in complete denial a) about our ageing population and b) what the policy implications of the political choices they made 2010 to 2024 and indeed since are.

Schiff: "In the first administration, there were at least a few people in the cabinet of some independence who could say, 'No, Mr. President, that's a lawless idea, that's a stupid idea.' But there's no one in this current admin to tell POTUS 'that's a stupid idea'... there's nothing but sycophants"

This is, for me, where the Nazi/fascist parallels work best. ‘Good’ people did nothing as the awfulness escalated because they were justifiably terrified of getting their heads kicked in or killed. It’s about comparing similar points in the process as opposed to comparing end days with early ones.

It is extraordinary, but grimly inevitable, that the people most responsible for hobbling the UK have become the loudest & whiniest critics of the consequences of their own actions. A big part of the process lies in people like ‘Lord’ Hannan actually being rewarded for their ignorant delinquency.

Among my concerns re: Casey recommending another inquiry into grooming gangs is a) we haven’t implemented the findings of the last one yet and b) UK state loves inquiries, and is consistently bad at implementing them in a meaningful way. See below:

BREAKING: Just reported on local news. The city of Lockhart, Texas has threatened to arrest any protesters displaying “No Kings” placards. This obviously is illegal and a violation of their First Amendment rights. Welcome to Texas, where the rule of law is for me, not for thee. Disgusting.

Smoke and mirrors from Kendall.

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.
