Israel was never going to allow Palestinians back to their own land, from which they'd been ethnically cleansed. Everyone with a brain knew that, but well-meaning politicians allowed their desire for the status quo to overcome their reason. Instead of challenging Israel they believed the convenient lies. Israel should have been forced by the UN to do the right thing, militarily if necessary. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/16/trumps-board-of-peace-drops-full-gaza-recovery-plan-f...

@dougiec3 This must be a promo for the upcoming new version of A Christmas Carol, with Trump as Scrooge and Epstein as Marley. Only it doesn&#39;t have a happy ending.

Seems like a sensible way to deal with a building that has a toxic past. One day they&#39;ll be doing the same thing with Mar-a-Lago. “Yes, the name evokes an ugly story, and that we will tell. You can’t erase it, you must tell it in the right way, making sure our democratic values emerge.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/04/italian-council-buys-mussolini-villa-riccione-fascist-nostalgics

The only way to tame Trump is to kick him in the balls and tell him to fuck right off. He is a very cowardly lion. It&#39;s not rocket science. https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2026/apr/04/can-the-king-tame-trump-state-visit

I&#39;m very happy about this. I don&#39;t want any of this AI bullshit to take physical form. But it is signature #NewerLabour to float vague promises and not deliver. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/09/revealed-uks-multibillion-ai-drive-is-built-on-phantom-investments
