How history likes to repeat itself
Today in 180AD Commodus succeeded his father, Marcus Aurlieus as Roman Emperor. He would go berserk, naming the city, months & legions after himself.
One contemporary wrote that he turned Rome "from a kingdom of gold to one of iron and rust".

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Something struck me this morning especially considering the Tory’s new found interest in child grooming gangs. Shamina Begum was groomed and trafficked whilst she was 15 but was gleefully stripped of her British citizenship by the Torys and left in a refugee camp.

While Trump is trolling Canada about annexing it, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. He’s a disgrace.

Q: And when did you first have an interest in the grooming gangs.
A: When I saw that Nigel might not get his money and I’m hoping Leon might give it to me.

Literally all they had to do was calmly condemn Musk’s dishonest & inciteful attack on their parliamentary colleague, Jess Phillips. And they couldn’t even manage that. Absolutely shameful.

Many people think that as you get older, you care less about politics. But it’s not true.
You start thinking a lot more about the kind of world you want to leave behind. You want it to be better than the one you were born into.
We all have a personal legacy in mind. Mine is to outlive Trumpism.
