Bono's always been a sanctimonious; tax-avoiding, wank. Him having a hissy fit over someone waving an SF flag at a U2 concert because he thought it was Sinn Fein when it was actually San Francisco, will never stop being funny. Prick.
In 2002 a 17 year old from Londrina, Brazil boarded Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet in Paris and was trafficked to New York. Around 30 girls were on that flight. Ghislaine Maxwell prowled the cabin. Some girls sat on Epstein’s lap. The teenager was Amanda Ungaro.

Thanks to China’s green subsidies, renewables are cheaper than ever.
Our subsidised oil companies and arms manufacturers have just pushed us into *another* war - and energy crisis.
Politicians in the west keep blaming China for their own stupidity.

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.
He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.
I'd add that the Israeli govt are known to be deliberately trying to ferment Islamophobia in Europe, so it's now impossible to know what are real antisemitic attacks, or what are Mossad operations.
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
Leaving aside the obvious craziness here, it's not the same situation. In WW2 no one had the capability or motivation to retaliate on the US - that's certainly not the case now (see China; Russia & Pakistan). Has Randy never heard of mutually assured destruction?
Mad rants only work as a negotiating tactic if the other side takes them at face value. In this case Iran knows exactly what Trump is doing here so it won't work.
Trump refuses to accept the massive leverage Iran has here. The US are totally in denial about their weak negotiating position because it's not something they're used to.
Being 'not all there' is the only place to be.
'Judeo-Christian values' in Israel:
Photo showing an Israeli soldier using a jackhammer to smash a statue of Jesus on a cross in southern Lebanon went viral on social media on Sunday. Responding to the latest incident, an Israeli military spokesman did not deny the image’s authenticity.
Offord on the telly again talking about getting '800,000 economically inactive people back to work'.
High time journalists start properly interrogating this abject nonsense.

All that Russian money must be extremely flammable.
The 'wonder' our culture has produced is wondering why anyone listens to these soulless; fascist nerds.
I don't like to compare players from different eras but you do wonder what Maradona would be like today playing on these bowling greens and defenders not allowed to kick him. Liam Brady said on Napoli's home pitch, you couldn't get near him. For me, the best i've seen in my lifetime.
That'll be all the tory MPs with EU passports no doubt.
Please let it be Pete Hegseth's bible edition.
"What Zidane can do with a football, Maradona could do with an orange." Michel Platini. Simply peerless.
“We’ve seen now, in the last six weeks, Iran and Hezbollah almost single-handedly checking — not defeating, but checking — the two biggest military powers in the region, which is the U.S. and Israel,” says Rami Khouri. The U.S. and Israel have been “forced into” ceasefires in Iran and Lebanon.
‘I wished for death’: Sexual violence in Israel’s prisons is an ‘organised state policy’ Palestinian testimonies reveal how sexual violence, including rape using objects and dogs, is approved by 'highest levels' of Israeli leadership
The testimony here about sexual violence by Israel against Palestinian prisoners is so beyond the pale everyone must see it.
It is so bad I can’t in good conscience share a quote other than the headline, which somehow manages to understate the horror within.

I think both groups have different issues with social media. It all comes down to critical thinking and i think kids are better at that than older people when it comes to online content. I'm in the older age group and many of my friends seem to take everything they read on their socials as gospel.
Not really. Yes they've displaced the civilian population but they won't be displacing Hezbollah anytime soon. They've made minimal inroads into Southern Lebanon. Their fantasies of controlling everything south of the Litani river are just that.
Fascism is all about looking back to an imagined better time - that's why nostalgia is central to what the far-right try to sell.
You see similar issues with wind farms up here in the Highlands. Other countries manage to support many more community-owned projects where there is a direct local benefit. The UK seems to be obsessed with foreign investment.

As the media mock the SNP for suggesting it, they avoid mentioning that it works in France.
As people get postal votes for the Scot Parl election please be careful of the spoiler operation which is 'Independent Green Voice'. They are listed second on the regional ballot paper in South of Scotland with the real Green Party further down. IGV is a right-wing spoiler operation.
Left-wing politics is pretty much the teachings of Jesus.

I prefer lower/non-league football these days. Top level football has lost it's magic for me.
Shetlanders aren't people i'd be messing with - disabled or not. What was fascist Nige doing in Shetland anyway, did he mistake it for Epstein Island?
