“he told a broke, exhausted nation in recession that he was “wealthy and sorted”.

“ telling parents of poor kids that if they didn’t like the prison slop on offer in schools, make a marmite sandwich.”

Julius Caesar conquered Gaul in 51 BC and died in 44 BC, therefore all of Asterix's adventures took place over the course of less than seven years, probably much less since Asterix's chieftain was at the battle of Alesia, were it is probable Asterix and Obelix's fathers died. In this essay, I will

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy. 

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

Back in the 90s when neo-nazi skinheads were everywhere, people wore colored laces in their Doc Martens to signify which side they were on. Red meant nazi, one black one white meant anti-racist, blue meant neutral, and green meant you like frogs and were anti-fascist. Been thinking about that a lot.

Former Tory Minister Michael Gove says the post-Brexit Tory trade deals with Australia and New Zealand were bad for UK farmers.

Why did he/Tories Tories sign them?

Brexit hasn't yielded any economic benefits. UK gave up the best trade deals and now scavenges for whatever it can get.
Michael Gove admits that post-Brexit trade deals were bad for farmers
Michael Gove has admitted for the first time that the Australia and New Zealand trade deals negotiated by the former Tory government did not protect Britain’s farmers.

Went for a walk in the park after lunch and spotted this tree that looks like an elephant. Trunkception.
Or is it just me? 👀
A trunk of wood with what looks like a mouth, an eye, and an… elephant trunk.

This🔻shows how much better life in the #EU / #UK is for an American who escaped the #US dystopia—an oligarchy run by 1% for 1%. Meanwhile, #Farage & #Reform are selling Brits the same myth: privatise healthcare, copy the US, call it paradise. People fled that “paradise” and found refuge in #Britain!

He never meant to stay — 13 years in #Europe later he realized his American conditioning finally broke. His account exposes how a neoliberal billionaire #oligarchy sold Americans a dystopia and a broken national myth. That's why Musk, Trump, and Vance hate Europe. Must watch 🔻
