I have a keen interest in current affairs. I am passionately anti-Brexit and have a distinct dislike of those with extreme right wing views. I am generally to be found in the middle ground, with a tilt to the left on occasions.

I have just listened to a FT Political Fix podcast where one of the speakers compared JD Vance's behaviour in Munich to that of a drunken Rangers fan goading Celtic supporters. It is a pretty good analogy and even facilitates changing the role of the supporters around depending on your allegiance.

Trump and his cabinet appointees are dead ringers for the cast of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

Trump is doing everything in his power to diminish America's standing on the world stage. Guess which two nations are going to fill the vacuum?

Europe can view the deterioration of the relationship with the US as a threat or an opportunity. It is time to build a stronger, more independent Europe and if it really wants to pee Trump off, start reaching out to China.

I am convinced that Trump has a warped strategy. Give Russia what it wants because Ukraine is in its sphere of influence; allow China to take Taiwan for the same reason and consequently, a similar argument prevails for the US taking Greenland. All the bullies are rewarded.

Today marks one month of the Trump presidency, in which the US has - backed Russia against Ukraine - left the Paris accords on climate change - left WHO - slapped tariffs on allies - started dismantling domestic rules & agencies that protect consumers, workers & the environment

Trump is looking to plunder Ukraine for its bountiful supply of rare minerals. The US has less than 20% of those required to manufacture electric cars. China on the other hand has in excess of 80%. Musk's dominance in this field is under threat.

Hi folks, I am just making the move from X. I hate what the platform has become. It has been hijacked to all intents and purposes by the ultra right. I am someone who tends to take the middle ground (with a slight lean to the left on occasions). How is life on this platform?
