Trump has pulled the security of former government officials we know are under threat simply because he doesn't like them. And he's done it at the same time as released a load of very angry, very violent, likely highly armed individuals who are loyal to him. It is dark stuff.

In an interview with Hannity on Fox, Trump says he can tell if immigrants are bad based on how they look: “You can look at them and say ‘could be trouble.’” That deafening noise is the Racism Klaxon.

Nigel Farage, Liz Truss and Suella Braverman went to the USA for Trump's inauguration, he didn't see them, he didn't let them in. They just wandered around Washington wearing his stupid hats like the bootlicking economy crashing morons they are.

The EU’s new trade chief Maroš Šefčovič has said the bloc could consider including UK in a pan-European customs agreement but “the ball is in the UK’s court”, The Guardian reports. Labour minister Matt Pennycock jumped in to rule it out: “we’re not seeking to participate in it at the present time”.

So, the media keeps touting Elon Musk (that dumbass with the stupid ideas) as being one of the "most intelligent" individuals in the world... ... the same media tries to sell us now, that he somehow was not smart enough to know what he was doing with that Hitler salute. Twice. Yeah, right.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

"They wanted Singapore on the Thames. They got Argentina on the Canal" ~ Mark Carney on Brexit He understands how Nationalism never benefits a country. It isolates. It stifles progress and innovation. It turns a country insular and stagnant. Canada is none of those things. And never should be. 🇨🇦

Wales has too many hospitals doing the same thing. What is needed is a sensible conversation about cold elective sites, and hot acute sites. Running multiple lukewarm sites is the problem, but no MP and MS will agree to not having an ED in their own parish.

When Adolf Hitler came to power he released his imprisoned supporters from jail, ripped up labour laws protecting workers and crushed social security programmes in return for tax cuts for the rich... See any similarities?

Great point here. Trump is creating a hostile environment for talent that leans liberal. We can't pay as well, but there are not school shootings and we aren't being run by anti science fascists.
