Trump/Vance culture war is turning the USA into a "Free to Hate State". Now they try to pressure UK to repeal some of its civil rights laws. Legal safeguards against hate speech MUST remain in UK law. Social media service providers cannot be free from all responsibility for the content they publish

It's time people woke up! Vance and other of Trump's political commissars are allegedly trying to make it a condition of a US-UK trade deal that our laws to prevent hateful slander against minorities and women are repealed. They want to turn US into a 'Free to Hate State' and for UK to do the same.

News is coming in that the President of the Land of the Free is asking El Salvador to be ready to construct 5 more prisons to house US residents. "The "home growns" are next," quoth Trump. (i.e. "home grown" American citizens might be the next ones to be deported) Es ist der Wille des Führers!

Let us hope that US students and universities do not face the attacks that fell upon their German counterparts in Autumn 1933. Die wohl bekannteste Widerstandsgruppe gegen das NS-Regime ist die "Weiße Rose", zu der auch die Geschwister Sophie und Hans Scholl gehörten. 1943 wurden sie hingerichtet.

Asking rich foreigners to pay the same tax as everyone else is not "forcing" them to leave.

Keir, stop! No, stop right now. No, please stop. No, look, I hear what you're saying, ....but you're wrong. This isn't a bridge that you're building... there's nothing at the end. In fact there's nothing anywhere near the end... It's not a bridge, it's just a pier!

Oh, no! I've just learned that the Panama Canal Railway Company has been bought by the DANISH company, Maersk. Trump won't like that - Copenhagen's going to get nuked!

Paul Lashmar’s ‘Drax of Drax Hall’ isn’t just a look into the dark sources of one family’s fortune; it’s an indictment of a nation’s refusal to reckon with its past. Review by @alexpreston.bsky.social @paullashmar.bsky.social

UK's Digital Services Tax must be increased - hard & fast. UK's nuclear deterrent must be put on a basis where it can be used independent of USA - or we wind it down. UK sovereignty must be protected from unilateral impositions by ANY other nation, but especially by USA. "Défence a tous azimuts"

Signalgate - a schoolboy jape that went badly wrong. Essentially... an informal bunch of youngsters got together to speculate and boast about current affairs. Loose talk morphed into detailed planning of an armed attack on a distant troublespot. Wasn't urgent. Just to appear tough. So they killed 50

I hope Canada will work fast to establish cordial relations with the new Greenland Government. They have now a lot in common and mutual interests - plus a short common border. Canadian capital and mining expertise might be useful to a new independent Greenland on the basis of fairness and respect.

A US think tank has recently described Trump's reign so far as “domineering, arbitrary and extractive.” Ms Hall Hall, a UK commentator agrees with those terms, but adds a fourth descriptor – “values-free”. Some also add "transactional" which implies "give and take", but for Trump it's all "take".

UK should INCREASE the Digital Services Tax. You can't take money from the disabled, the sick and the elderly so you can give it to wealthy technobarons like Musk and Suckerbug? You can't, Rachel? Can you?
