The thing about Hitler's rise to power is that we have known how it was done for a long time and that the constitutions of other western democracies are vulnerable to the same methods, but nothing at all has been done to raise our defences. Why ?

FML - this fawning before the over-sensitive king is embarrassing for the world.
Many countries have fought revolutions (and in the UK a civil war) against monarchs & tyrants in order to get away from this ridiculous kind of self-abasement before egos of foolish leaders.

If you need to understand what's happening, this farce is a perfect place to begin.
A broken, unhappy man is being given a fake award he doesn't deserve by a corrupt group looking to bribe him and earn favors. It's meaningless, everything he wants, and it won't matter to him within an hour.

Apparently my husband's Spotify listening age is 20. 42 years younger than his actual age. I thought it would be low as he really enjoys listening to new music especially on his commute, but not that low as we do listen to to some old music too 🤣

A very eloquent Clive Lewis MP highlighting that water & energy companies are charging us high prices not for infrastructure investment but to make profit.
The Reform has dropped the act, openly Thatcherite. The Conservatives are copying them to save their skins. The best way to cut support for the authoritarian right is to stand with people against profiteers in water and energy, and give real security.

As far as I can see, this nat sec strategy is far harsher on Europe than on Russia. There is no mention of a threat from Russia or of deterrence, only that "re-establishing strategic stability" is a priority. Europe is cast as a major threat to freedom. A radical, dangerous document.

That it wasn’t the U14 Open championship (whilst being a girl) is a different thing.
