There are Americans who think they can put all this chaos back in the box four years from now, but, even if they’re allowed another election, we’ll be into a grim new world order by then. Irrevocably. The people of the country that led the free world never valued freedom.

So, Farage struts around on stage in the US, slagging off the UK and the EU, blaming anything but Brexit for us being poorer and unhappier and crawling up Trump’s backside… What a repulsive spectacle he is. If you actually could be put in prison here for ‘saying anything’ he’d be my top pick.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

Apple is making its statement clear to UK users: you aren’t protected. When governments violate privacy, it’s not about 'security'—it’s about control. Data collection justifies monitoring behavior and suppressing the people. Privacy is a right; once lost, we lose more than just data.
