Apparently we’ve established that if the US can seize the largest tanker off Venezuela, it can just as easily seize a small, alleged drug boat without murdering the occupants.

The Wokingham constituency has a brilliant group of breweries that contribute so much to our local community and economy.
Last night, I celebrated Wokingham’s thriving beer and pub sector and I was delighted to meet up with Andy Parker, the owner of Elusive Brewing based in Finchampstead.

Imagine serving as a Marine and then having a distinguished career in the FBI investigating actual terrorist threats and then having to go in front of Congress and say you’re afraid of Antifa. Absolutely humiliating.
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing
BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?
GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now
THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Innocent people end up in our criminal courts.
Completely, terrifyingly innocent.
And all that stands between them and losing everything is a fair trial.
Politicians would do well to remember this when they tell us that justice is all about processing “criminals” swiftly.

The Australian government should embark on a strategy of regaining ownership of all foreign-owned infrastructure, especially energy, water and communications. In the event of a conflict, we are extremely vulnerable if the foreign power simply turns any of these off.

90% of my life force has been drained by two one-hour-each encounters with outgoing and incoming energy suppliers. Both win zero points for customer service. Ofgem - you really should be looking at the inefficiency of offshoring customer service.

So annoying that companies that promote GenAI and LLMs called it AI and didn’t differentiate it from the advanced machine learning algorithms and tools that enable so many great things that are also AI but actually solving a problem, and good.

So now that the Trump administration is coming to realize they totally committed international crimes, they’re realizing they must buy off or threaten the court/officials that decides this stuff. This is his life’s work. If you did it & there’s evidence, make it so they can’t do anything to you.
