Coming on top of the bullying of Zelensky, I think Vance's remarks today are going to be a pivotal moment in uniting British public opinion against Trump's US, across party & Brexit divides, & solidifying consensus for UK as a partner with EU for Ukraine. www.thesun.co.uk/news/politic... 1/2 - ThreadSky

Except Farage's bootlicking Trump coddlers.

You didn't read the 2nd post of the thread?

tendaibsky.bsky.social•8 days ago

I did. Did I say something wrong? 🤷🏾‍♂️

chrisgrey.bsky.social•8 days ago

Not 'wrong' - I just meant that I'd made that point in the thread.

tendaibsky.bsky.social•8 days ago

A point you made well.

Call mine a punctuation. Or an exclamation even. 😅

Vance can deny as much as he wants. Recordings are all over internet. Fuck the couch fucker!

chrisgrey.bsky.social•8 days ago

The two together are almost textbook ways to mobilize unity in the British psyche. Making Farage an outlier and Brexit more obviously than ever an anomaly in the new world order Trump is creating. 2/2

Yes, Farage and all his works, including Brexit, looking increasingly absurd in the new order

Yet strangely Badenoch seems to be cosying up to Vance.

Possibly because she never gets anything right.

It strikes me that Brexit and all its consequences,+Trump and all his, are the most colossal waste of the time, brain power, resources, mental energy and stamina of government and ministers we have encountered in recent times. All that energy wasted, trying to salvage what we can from destruction.

Quoting Fukuyama in 1992:
“Experience suggests that if men cannot struggle on behalf of a just cause because that just cause was victorious in an earlier generation, then they will struggle against the just cause. They will struggle for the sake of struggle.”

“[…] And if the greater part of the world in which they live is characterized by peaceful and prosperous liberal democracy, they then will struggle against that peace and prosperity, and against democracy.”

It was mocked for years but feels incredibly prescient now.

If Johnson and Farage (together with a very large proportion of right- wing politicians and commentators) have been shown to be completely wrong about Trump it's easier for people to accept that they were completely wrong about Brexit too

Vance is a cunt.

tendaibsky.bsky.social•8 days ago

He is very vocal about his preferred pronouns so I actually went with another anatomy in respect of his gender preferences. 🙃

It is already blowing much of the UK far-right asunder.

sharonhawth.bsky.social•8 days ago

Agreed. In the same way his attacks on Canada have United Canadians, his attack on U.K. will bring us together against Trump.

Apart from the LOTO. 🤦‍♂️
