GIFT LINK: Voters in this country twice elected a president with no ethics, no empathy and no end to his narcissism.

Itβs adorable that the widely ridiculed doofus Kash Patel is working under the quaint misapprehension that his already ruined reputation can still be destroyed.
Not to mention Johnson's affinity for the venal side of life, viz: parties in Italian villas, and AWOL for 24 hours.
This was _before_ he was PM!
So Bad-Enoch's bleating about Starmer ring very hollow
Yes but in that era, there was also the "Bank Manager is your friend" campaign, which was an amazingly good fig leaf for the fact that they (the banks) were also after your money.
Shocking.
BBC was such a respected network worldwide when we were young.....
It's all they have.

Are you surprised?
I'M sick of Robinson in the mornings, slanting his "questions" (and responses to them) in favour of the Tories and Reform.
(And woe betide you if you are a Labour, woman interviewee).
The knives come out.
Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 β with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
protest sign that says "IF ONLY CHILDREN WERE PROTECTED LIKE THE," followed by the words "EPSTEIN FILES" written in much large text
βFarage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donorβs private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. Theyβre just in it for themselvesβ
Itβs so obvious, it hurts.

What is it with pub bores & Farage?
I get the macho stuff about being territorial, but the 'wokerati' stuff is boss-talk to strip away rights, cut taxation & raise profits. It may make you feel good to identify with the rich & powerful but, when you have no power, you're just asking to be shafted.
For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:
When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?
BBC reporter Henry Zeffman admitted this morning on #BBCBreakfast that Starmer will survive this latest storm in a Mandelson teacup.
1. No ministers have resigned
2. He's likely to win any VONC thanks to the Labour majority
Tice will get the usual free pass.
#BBCPolitics is garbage.
Crikey! (Strong language, I know, but justified...)
The BBC are back to running a live feed on the old Starmer / Mandelson story.
Where's their live feed on whether Refukker Tice can survive his latest tax 'issue'?
π€
LOL.
I'm always skeptical of BBC-bashing, but BBC News website hasn't reported on the Tice tax scandal since 12 April, when the headline was "Tice Β£91,000 tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims".
Stubborn inflation is the root cause of our sluggish economy
Inflation is a symptom not a root cause.
This is simple supply & demand - we need to reconnect with the EU & reshore some of what we are buying from the US and China.

Trump is very angry that NATO refuses to help in fighting the Vatican army.
.
BBC on the ball again.....
They finally got there.
Trump really is a one-trick pony.
Yeah, good old :
"Who can we hate and vilify today"? Farage.
As predictable as the moon and the tides.
Odious man.
The problem is, Trump fears that anyone he "nominates" could show any higher ability compared to his own.
The problem is..... that is a VERY low bar.
So welcome to the Trump world of universal incompetence.
Catholics will love this....
Absolutely right!
US : don't come along and tell us you are the "leaders of the free world".
We don't believe you.
