Sommige conservatieve MP's in Engeland hebben nog altijd niet door dat de Brexitleugens t VK compleet aan de grond gevaren hebben. Hier een hardleers type die herinvoering van t Erasmus uitwisselingsprogramma in t onderwijs, een 'brainwash' programma noemt. De leugens van deze lui zijn schandelijk.

Very much looking forward to the launch event for the Nation of Strangers Dutch edition at @debalie.bsky.social on the 22nd of April. Details below. My wonderful Dutch publishing house Uitgeverij Pluim also published How To Lose A Country and Together. 🙏🏼
Reminiscent of the reaction of Brezhnev and Jaruzelski to John Paul II, though quite a bit more hysterical.

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.

Some thoughts about the President of the United States speaking about ending a civilization. The president speaks genocide. Anyone who has been involved in that conversation or associated actions would be complicit. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.

In the US you can follow the transformation from a liberal, rule of law democracy into real fascism in real time.
🚫🇷🇺 Hungarian protesters chanted “Russians go home!” (Ruszkik haza) at Viktor Orbán during a campaign rally, hours after we revealed his foreign minister conspired behind allies' back and even shared EU documents with Sergey Lavrov. The chant echoes the main slogan of the 1956 uprising.
In 4 weeks Trump has transformed Iran from a country where people poured into the streets to overthrow the regime into a country where people poured into the streets to stop America. Great work.
Dear Europe — Russia is planning a massive, multi-layered crisis designed to shatter your stability, including orchestrated migration surges & coordinated disinformation to fracture NATO & EU unity. Putin is not bluffing. He’s preparing the ground while the West debates. Wake up!
