It's become clear that intelligence is an evolutionary cul-de-sac.
I'm dumbing down as fast as I can. I'm already halfway there.
Survival of the thickest.
Thanks for your help in this matter.

You will hear politicians say various things as to why we can't rejoin the EU but not one of those things will be the truth.

Starmer's insistance on a second referendum was only ever intended to undermine Corbyn as L.O.T.O. Meanwhile ,he has made it practically impossible to rejoin the EU in the near future by expediting Tory policy on Freeports, SEZs, FEZs and Enterprise zones which breach EU law.
Keir Starmer defies Jeremy Corbyn to say Labour could back second EU referendum
Keir Starmer has said Labour could still back another EU referendum - just two days after a spokesman for Jeremy Corbyn appeared to rule it out.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Suppressed security reports. Burying information so the public don't see it. Maybe it's worth getting an eyeful of what the government you pay taxes to wants to spend your money trying to hide from you? At least you have that choice now.

Writing with @rupertread.bsky.social about just how devastating the Government- suppressed security report is, particularly its conclusions about our food insecurity. Ministers should be helping to build our resilience to these threats, not burying the report that contains them 👇
It's ecological breakdown that should put us on a war-footing: official
Admissions of extreme, eco-caused national security threats foreground importance of climate adaptation to bring much needed urgency and agency.

Many commentators promised high and low that Trump would, in fact, be a benefit to Britain.
I would now like them all pulled into a studio and made to account for where their assertions came from.
Preferably while squirming.

Ah yes. That's a good point.
This is a very good point. The November 2025 US National Security Strategy never mentions the Arctic at all. The idea that it's a genuine security priority for the Trump administration is not credible.

Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress.

We wonder why the majority of Americans who don't support Trump don't rise up.
In the land of the free, people can't miss work or they might be fired and lose health coverage.

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.
We must speak plainly: January 6th was an attempted coup. It was an effort to nullify millions of lawful votes and subvert the will of the American people.
