Downing Street Demands Everyone Takes Down Video of PM Falling Over ⚠️ DO NOT watch this video! ⚠️

About to quit @duolingo over their stupid Energy system. 707 day streak ending.

I don't say a lot about politics here but I did want to say how little stomach I have for poweful politicians who are millionaires complaining about powerful citizens who are billionaires. I'm trying to work out if I can afford to pay to watch the Superbowl this month.

Pay close attention - BBC story today about Biden and Netanyahu holding talks about a ceasefire. This picture is not of that meeting. Nor is the other one. They spoke on the phone.

To say that @elonmusk is to blame for the UK outrage shows how out of touch the elites and MSM are. @jordanbpeterson gave a global interview to Tommy Robinson and has been pointing out Trudeau's failures long before Musk was aware. But the mainstream missed it entirely.

Man arrested for calling a police person a muppet.

A British citizen calls a policeman a "Muppet" and is arrested for harassment. Thoughts?

.@Keir_Starmer's Labour Government sounds like a reformed band that used to be called something shorter but after years of legal wrangling are finally able to tour.

This is a horrendous situation and disturbing thread to read. My thoughts with Jane, Cat and her family. Sadly other than potential legal action it's very tough to know what can be done. It is possible to try to raise emergency situation with Ombudsman but that's unlikely to resolve much at the speed needed. Hopefully the publicity a situation like this can and should get will put pressure on the insurer to review its decision.

If you don't look like you are willing to defend your rights, they will be taken away. (I don't mean defend in a violent way. God save our glorious and blessed Prime Minister. May he live a thousand summers.) petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Clifton Suspension Bridge has left the conversation. Sad day.

You're a government. We'll do the parenting. They are not your children you powermongering narcissist.

.@mrjamesob twitter posts and his disdain for Americans is looking more and more like racism every day @LBC

Turns out 'James O’Brien’s longest monologue ever' is actually a selling point. 580,000 views & counting... youtu.be/QwI3GMKghAM?si=ya0_…

For my British and European friends who are "shocked" and "surprised", here are 10 reasons you didn't see this coming. Read this short post and then read the replies from our American friends who will confirm what I'm saying. 1. Americans love their country and want it to be the best in the world. America is a nation of people who conquered a continent. They love strength. They love winning. Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage. 2. Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline. They don't have Net Zero here, they believe in producing their own energy and making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on it. 3. Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased rapidly and are sky high. What the official statistics say about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not the same. 4. Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being super rich because they know that they live in a country where being super rich is available to anyone with the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success, they celebrate it. 5. Americans are the most pro-immigration people in the world. Read that again. Seriously, read it again. Americans love an immigrant success story. They want more talented immigrants to come to America. But they refuse to accept people coming illegally. They believe in having a border. 6. Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that in order to address the errors of the past new errors must be made. DEI is racist. They know it and they reject it precisely because they are not racist. 7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth. October 7 and the pro-Hamas left's reaction shocked them to their very core because, among other things, they remember what 9/11 was like and they know jihad when they see it. 8. Americans are extremely practical people. They care about what works, not what sounds good. In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America they produce (and attract) great engineers, businessmen and investors. Because of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do and more about his policies than you do. 9. Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke view of American history as a series of evils for which they must eternally apologise is utterly abhorrent to them. They believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past. 10. America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly.

This is a big deal for a party that has never had anyone but a white man at the helm. It's a small step but the right one. Welcome to last century.

This is why people who don't like Trump support him. It's not about character, it's about the mission. The Democrats need to drop the "we're not Trump" mantra. Labour's "we're not Tories" lasted for 14 years of Conservative mismanagement. They won cos they said who they were .

.@Keir_Starmer The flag is the wrong way up in your video, Prime Minister. Are upside down thugs to blame?
