What a f***ng depressing week. Project 2025 well under way in the States. It's a Russian-backed coup, and democracy is being stamped out. The presidents of Russia and USA are both gangsters- in the same gang.

The Conservative party accuses Keir Starmer of refusing to take child abuse seriously. In other news, here's former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson complaining about £60 million being "spaffed up the wall" investigating historic child abuse cases
