Hard-Right Populists can be defeated after all!

Great news.

So the US is now threatening Christians?
Imagine if it was Iran that said this.

100% agree with you.
I was just trying to let the Americans know that the rest of the world sees what they are doing and we won't forget or forgive.
From the betrayal of Ukraine, and the intimidation of Greenland to war crimes in Iran.

I am sick and tired of Americans saying things like "Not my president". Yes, he is.
What y'all gonna actually *do* about it.
Is America just going to let him drop a nuclear bomb?
He is going to damage America's global reputation for decades, if not generations.

No, we would answer it and say "keep him. Do whatever you want with him. Never call us again."

February 2026. Trump insults UK about British soldiers who died in Afghanistan and Iraq.

March 2026. "Get over here and help us out of this mess!"

UK: "No."

And don't forget we saw how he pulled support for Ukraine and told Europe that we're on our own when it comes to Russia.
Now he's in a mess of his own making in Iran, Europe and the UK are saying "Nah. We're good, Donald. We're gonna sit this one out."

We don't believe a single word he says. He says the war is won, Iran is obliterated, calls us cowards but begs us to get involved in an effort to reopen the Strait that was already open before he began this war.
We do take him seriously as his madness has consequences for all of us.

Starmer wasn't an MP until 2015.

It's a testament to his coaching abilities and in the long run, he's going to be a better coach for this experience

Hi.
On today's show, I just wanted to mention how well Kyle Eastmond has dealt with the crisis at Halifax this season.
After losing half of the squad, he is now managing to get wins from a group of loanees, trialists and the remainder of the previous group of players.

Until there are protests every single day then I am not interested.

This is part of the problem with Americans. They think a protest march once every year is enough.

Whenever he talks about a "big, beautiful ocean" between Russia and the USA, I always think, has he never seen a globe and noticed how close Alaska is to Russia?

The USA is geographically closer to Russia than most of Europe

At long last!

Wish we'd have been doing this before

Very good piece and makes me feel more hopeful that populists can be defeated.

One question though. Is Meloni far-right? I now she's right wing, but she's not as extremist as the others. And she's a backer of Ukraine, which isn't something the far right tends to do.

If USA attacks Iran's civilian infrastructure then they are no better than what Russia is doing to Ukraine.

Trump must be indicted by the ICC and sent to The Hague.

If America does this, they are exactly the same as Russia when they bomb Ukraine's civilian infrastructure.
If Trump orders this, then he should be indicted by the ICC and sent to The Hague.

I can't think of any nation that started a war and ended up winning it since 1914.

Since 1914, I can't think of any nation who has started a war and ended up winning it.

8. Israel.

That many people don't know about that shows there is a comms problem.

He's been poor as PM so far, but fair play, he's been really good these last 10 days

He wouldn't even have been elected as an MP, let alone lead a party or government

Barron will already have one. Free, naturally.

Surely if "boots on the ground" is to happen, it's going to be ICE and MAGA that will be the first to go .....right?

"More than anyone has ever seen before"

"Such a large number, the most in our history"

💯 agree.

Same with Iraq. It was an illegal, unjust occupation.

But Hussein still deserved to swing.

Tbh, I don't care who pulled the trigger, Khamenei got what was coming to him. Just a shame he wouldn't have known about it.

Trump v The Ayatollah.

This is one of those times when I want both to lose.

What MAGA also don't realise is that Trump will be long dead by then so they will have to be the ones picking up the tab.
