  @harriettmb@mastodon.ie Thank you. I see #Binface policy on Europe is to invite European countries to join the UK. Yeesss...i could see that one going down quite well with the Red Wall..they're that daft they could buy it...

  At the Pearly Gates: St Peter: "Widdecome, you say. What did you do with your life?" Anne: "I deliberately shamed my country before the assembled democratic representatives of the entire continent of Europe by aping Nazis in the Reichstag" St P: "Ah, yes. We've been keeping a special place for you lot". AW: "But, but...it was Nigel's idea...." #RejoinEU

  From Private Eye. Perfectly aimed at the unholy alliance between the Football Lads and Telegraph Pearls ; each equally brainwashed by their respective "proprietors"; long may they consort in felicity. #RejoinEU

  What other right wing European politicians can JD be persuaded to fly in to lobby for on the eve of important weathervane elections? Hmm. #farage

  Naivety? Sloppy unprofessionalism? Or worse ? Whenever such hasbeens as Lord Robertson pop up from obscurity and start receiving headline BBC news coverage, we all do well to smell a rat. One that sits on the Board. And requires to be ousted, without further delay or damage. #BBC

  https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn897e8280do What to make of this purile hyperbole? "Carnage" is descriptive of slaughter & massacre. Not travel delay & disruption. The implicit effort, in the manner of reporting, to blackguard Easyjet, & the EU, adds self-delusion to the misdirected outrage. We VOTED (collectively) for this. And for those who voted to Remain, with (now) the many who abstained owing perhaps to uncertainty as to the consequences,...

  "In a sense, the true mystery is that it took so long for the lovechild of Mussolini and Mr Toad to open the biggest box of toy soldiers in the world and get stuck in. What, frankly, did we expect? Thoughtful restraint?" Matt D'Ancona. The New World.

  “The eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding.” JF Kennedy

  An alliance is a partnership of equals under conditions of mutual respect. An organisation in which the strongest dictates to the weaker partners is no alliance. NATO risks being reduced, by the manbaby in the White House, to a satrapy. If he flounces out, so be it. #NATO will continue in being without him, restored to a partnership of equals, who remain, by alliance, sufficiently strong for purpose. NATO members must not permit themselves to be blackmailed into joining Trump's war...

  "Get your own oil" from the fool who by his unilateral action & illegal idiocy has caused the entirely predictable throttling of supply is yet more attempted blackmail of supposed allies. Faced with such arrogance, why should democratic nations presented with this ultimatum continue to observe unilaterally-imposed US economic sanctions? Notably, those imposed on Iran?

  Sure, Mr President. You want Russian missile subs cruising off Long Island, and your forces don't know they're there because you threw away naval intelligence sharing from UK, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, & Iceland because you flounced out in a fit of pique, go right ahead. #NATO

  Just when you'd hope that some really intelligent & experienced military advisors were being summoned to the Oval Office, instead we are shown kooky evangelical pastors acclaiming TrumpJesus , & we all understand it's just going to get worse. #trumpjesus

  Er...no. Totally different ecosystem and therefore completely unqualified for the role. Next. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce9mz082y5go

  The Art of the Deal: Maxim number [whatevs] : "Not making progress? Easy. I start negotiating with myself". So, Trump today made up a story about fictitious "talks" with the Iranian Government, which the speaker of the Iranian Parliament denies. This must be what they learned to do in Real Estate (him and his golf-buddy Witkoff). Offers too low? Easy - make up a fictitious competing buyer. What a clownfest.

  UK Chancellor of the Exchequer (Finance Minister) estimates the cost of #Brexit at 8% , (£224Bn running at £4.3Bn a week) drawing on US studies. Your problem, Rachel Reeves, is your lack of independently-verified public UK Government data. You NEED to institute a #BrexitInquiry , immediately. Because until you do, your detractors, diehard Brexiters led by the oligarch-owned British press, will simply mock you, as it did with your Tory fiscal "black hole" pronouncement, and cl...
