I’ve always felt a bit sorry for left leaning voters in England whose only real choice under FPTP was Tory or Tory Lite. Imagine if the choice in Scotland becomes Tory, Tory Lite or Tory Ecosse.

^^^ Jealous as f**k.

Did someone say “stupid blanket”?

Looks like the SCOTUS ruling on immunity is going to be very tight. If some of the right-wing Justices vote againstTrump’s interests I can see the likes of Thomas proposing a compromise solution that simply kicks the can down the road.

I wonder if everyone and their granny pointing out that Thomas is a corrupt partisan hack who should not be participating in decisions taken by the highest court in the land will cause him to have a meaningful examination of what the role of a SC Justice is or will it simply reaffirm that he is a corrupt partisan hack? Im going for the latter.

Yeah, they even believe in global warming…

It should work. I’m in Spain and know someone who uses NordVPN all the time on their iPad and Firestick to access the BBC as a U.K. viewer. I will not reveal who that person is.

He might do that, and it might work. Then again it might be a disaster. In the distant past I was heavily active in the Labour Party, in the more recent past I was involved with the SNP but not nearly to the same level. Despite the years between the two there was one constant; political party membership has two distinct categories, the vast majority who simply pay their fees and the activists who put in the effort and who election and by-election campaigns are dependent on. If Humza’s political positioning doesn’t carry the latter group then he’s fucked.

Environmental issues are not at the top of my political agenda, but I’m probably more closely aligned with people like Harvie and Slater than I am with Kate Forbes, John Mason, Fergus Ewing and the other right wing homophobes who will no doubt be delighted with this move. I can see the SNP losing support from a lot of younger and more progressive voters as a result of this. It will be interesting to see any further visible lurch to the right as Harvie was predicting.

It’s just over a year since fat Tony left. These two things couldn’t possibly be related, could they?

Just let them drown. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/24/dont-rescue-people-who-scupper-their-channel-boats-says-reform-uk-deputy Where do they find these despicable c***s?

Fucking anti-Semitic …err… Jews! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/24/not-like-other-passovers-hundreds-of-jewish-demonstrators-arrested-after-new-york-protest-seder

If the government goes into administration and offers 6p in the £ then this would bring the amount owed down to £150 billion. That’s a far more manageable sum.

Here’s the thing. If he’d just paid the hush money out of his own pocket and not tried to hide the payment and claim it as an expense for tax purposes this court case would not be happening. Whatever actually transpired it’s his greed and inability to stop gaming the system that has landed him in court.

This trial must be tearing Trump up inside. For the first time in his entitled grifting life he is not in control of the environment which he is forced to inhabit. Sitting day after day as people describe facts about his actions and behaviour while he cannot respond in the moment. Hopefully it will all prove to be too much for him.

Yes, very much my point.

Plus a manager who knows how to manage.

Not sure what his fitness record before coming to us is like and I can’t be arsed checking, but I totally agree that signing known crocks is a big no no.

I’d be up for that!

Act of total desperation by the midget millionaire. There is a very good chance that not a single person will end up on a plane to Rwanda making this the most flagrant misuse of public money in this Parliament.

On that basis you will never need to be upset and angry with your club. Unless you get relegated…

No. I accept that it was my fault and apologise profusely.

If that guy was PM lots more folk would end up fucked. So no difference really…

And their fans don’t show the same level of cuntishness.

Not sure working class kids doing their national service can really be seen as culprits tbh. As to your last point I’d agree that we are all still beneficiaries of the suppression of workers in foreign countries but the rulers of those countries are the oppressors. There are instances of mass action to combat suppression, the anti-apartheid movement being a good example, though undoubtedly not enough.
