Good to see "Stop Brexit" Steve Bray cleared. The right to protest is key to defending our freedoms, and to demanding better government. Steve's protest may annoy some people, but he's not threatening anyone or preventing them from going about their lives. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

“The blindingly obvious way to go is to rejoin the EU. We know how to do business in Europe We know the rules and how they work. We helped make many of them.

If you want to do business. You can either choose the EU where agreements are made, kept, reciprocal and based on international norms Or you can choose the USA. Where decisions are made, broken, changed and broken again at the whim of a demented old man Choose wisely

The U.S. will not take control of Greenland, the island's new prime minister said in response to President Trump's latest assertion that he wants to annex the territory. "Let me be clear: The United States will not get it. We do not belong to anyone else. We decide our own future."
