Feels almost cruel to point out that all the bollocks about our 10% tariffs being a 'Brexit benefit' lasted for about four days. But here we are...

Trump is seeking world domination. That is what his tariffs are all about. We have to accede to his worldview, or be punished. When will our politicians wake up and smell the coffee? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...

Yup. It feels cruel to deny deluded Brexiters their tiny sliver of a ‘win’ but, on the other hand, fuck ‘em. Weakening a country before an attack like this is an act of obvious treachery. We would, by any measure, be better off in the the EU with the 20% basic tariff rate.

The thing about all these pieces complaining about Marine Le Pen's conviction is that not a single one of them bothers to explain why someone found guilty of embezzling millions of Euros from public funds should be allowed to get away with it

Surprised to see so many headlines from news outlets suggesting Putin has agreed to a ceasefire. He’s done no such thing. He’s basically said he would do in theory, providing his conditions are met, on his terms. Which is just a variation on what he’s always said.

Nigel Farage is once again showing his true colours as Trump’s spokesman in Britain. Zelensky has shown true courage, while Farage just licks Trump’s boots. It's clearer than ever that Nigel is simply out for himself and his masters in Mar-a-Lago

This is a very clear articulation of the National Conservative position on universities. If you work in one, you really do need to watch it all the way through. It builds out from Nixon's line - "the professors are the enemy" youtu.be/0FR65Cifnhw

This unspeakable piece of shit has been sucking up to Putin since the early 'don't-poke-the Russian-bear' days of the invasion. It seems he's now set on torching his own domestic reputation as part of his slavish devotion.

Energy firms AREN'T allowed to back-bill over 1 year Ie. if you're sent a bill for the first time about energy from past years (providing you didn't obstruct em in getting the info) it's usually wrong. You needn't pay it. Make a formal complaint & if needed go to Energy Ombudsman.

Well, Trump’s back playing world leader with all the finesse of a bull in a china shop, while Putin smirks and Ukraine burns. It’s not ‘diplomacy’, it’s a global pissing contest with dangerously high stakes and uncontrollable egos.
