Where does Trump manage to find these people?

He took after his father. A complete shit

Germany and Italy block bid to suspend EU-Israel trade pact Spain, Slovenia, Ireland pushed EU foreign policy chief Kallas to ditch pact over Israeli ‘human rights’ violations.

Apparently the solution is more talking:

Andy Quirke bought thousands of flags with his inheritance from his father, Dick. A lot of them are the ones you see all over working class areas of Dublin and beyond

*1920's

This is word for word what the Nazis said about the Jews

The Nazis took their inspiration from 2020's American eugenics that sounded exactly like this.

If they were paying by the hour they'd have paid for it 10 times over

Yep. Years apparently

You cannot call the fascist pals of the free speech absolutist, 'fascist'

Elon Musk is pro-free speech the same way JD Vance is a Catholic: It's fine as long as it is serving his purpose

It just empowered them. They think they are the only people suffering. Our staff and thousands of volunteers are having to pay the higher costs to do the same job too. People are pinned to their collar everywhere

Fuel protest group threatens further action next month Group’s online statement says it will not accept being ‘taxed beyond’ what people can afford to pay

Seize the trucks and impound them. Enough is enough of holding country to ransom

This would be GB News if Ofcom did it's job

That statement Palantir put out on Threads is a hoot. It's like Dr Evil, Blofeld and Sauron rolled into one

Israel is firmly on the ballot in DNC primaries in the US.

AIPAC becoming political poison is a thing to behold !

Yeah, the $ is only world's reserve currency because oil is traded in $ so everyone needs it. Trump being only interested in money no doubt is aware of that but that won't stop him acting on impulse and ending that.

Good luck financing that $40 Trillion in debt if the petro $ system ends

Only if you think destroying the $ as currency oil is traded in, meaning US can't finance it's $40 Trillion debt and leading to its bankruptcy

Iran probably (rightly) thinks Trump will use it as an opportunity to blow up their plane on the way back, before resuming the war.

It's antisemitic to call this anti-Christian

He achieved that a long long time ago, and not just with Iran

Korean's are furious with Israel and the US for starting the war with Iran. Asia has been hit hardest by far by the fuel crisis.

Another nail in the coffin for Israel's international relationships.

How does rejecting boycotting efforts work? I've boycotted Eurovision since the attacks on Gaza began and I shall continue doing so. I miss it intensely but they can't _make_ me watch it.

Musk and Zuckerberg are the biggest threats to European democracy now. Without them these fringe groups would have no ability to organise and stoke up fear and anger through disinformation.

The Yanks took over TikTok for this exact reason: Chinese influence in the algorithm. Europe is commiting political and cultural suicide if it doesn't do something similar and fast. At this point Musk and the US are the main threat to European democracy ahead of even Russia

Five countries quit Eurovision over Israel, entertainment industry pushes back | The Jerusalem Post Over 1,000 entertainment industry leaders sign letter backing Israel’s inclusion in Eurovision, rejecting boycott efforts and emphasizing music’s unifying power.

Funny the article doesn't mention that Creative Community for Peace is an anti BDS zionist group and most of the signatories are from outside Europe:

Yep - it's a business model: Patriot™️

Funny that, isn't it. Almost like these people don't care about anyone but themselves

A few weeks earlier B and I attended the #HeatOrEat disability protest about the removal of the fuel subsidies

I didn’t see any of the angry men that day

#Disability

Jennifer Horgan: We have set a new standard for what angry men can achieve. It's terrifying Angry men's blockades stopped my mother being with her dying brother-in-law last week. She was not the only vulnerable person whose needs were trampled on

Excellent piece on the #fuelprotests

While the "angry men" were out holding the country to ransom, we didn't hear a word from their populist political supporters about the vulnerable groups they were affecting like older and disabled people.
