Has anyone else noticed how Christmas adverts are all horribly red and orange? It’s giving me a headache.

It’s been an impressive 24 hours in front of the camera for Donald Trump.

A literal man baby.
X post by Whit Stilman The late Charles Krauthammer on Trump: In the summer of'16, he wrote this about Trump's character: "This is beyond narcissism. I used to think Trump was an 11-year-old, an undeveloped schoolyard bully. I was off by about 10 years. His needs are more primitive, an infantile hunger for approval and praise, a craving that can never be satisfied. He lives in a cocoon of solipsism where the world outside himself has value - indeed exists — only insofar as it sustains and inflates him ... (He) is dangerously out of the mainstream and temperamentally unfit to command the nation."

The last person to forcibly expel a large section of their settled population was literally a madman. Apart from being self destructive and morally repugnant, imagine the damage it would do to the UK if scenes like this were broadcast around the world.

Oh I don’t know. What’s fascist about this?
Stephen Miller X post - 104/25 The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.

Her recipe for turtle soup is well worth a try though.
1. Preparation of the Turtle: The day before cooking, cut off the head of the turtle. The next morning, open the turtle by cutting around the shell. Drain out the water and cut the flesh from the spine, being careful to avoid the gall bladder. 2. Layering Ingredients: In a large stewpan, lay the slices of ham at the bottom, followed by the knuckles of veal. Add the interior flesh of the turtle and the members (legs and head) on top. Moisten with the water used to boil the shell. 3. Cooking: Simmer the mixture, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface. The soup should be cooked until the meat is tender.

NHS dentists for all? Workers rights? Rent controls? An elected second chamber? Clearly an utter catastrophe in the making.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
for example, bringing the railways, water companies and big five energy companies back into public ownership; guaranteeing access to an NHS dentist for all; greatly expanding the provision of mental healthcare; abolishing the Malthusian two-child benefit cap and scrapping the bedroom tax; repealing anti-union legislation and introducing a charter for workers' rights; pressing for a maximum pay ratio within any organisation of 10:1; enabling local authorities to introduce rent controls; replacing the House of Lords with an elected chamber and introducing a fairer voting and party funding system, alongside the far-sighted environmental policies we would expect, all funded by a much fairer and more redistributive tax settlement.

So - you're right: if all were normal, one would expect Trump to leap at the chance to swat down the chatter live on camera. The fact that his camp is relying on photos and ghostwritten-style posts does suggest something unusual is going on — the question is whether it's something as minor as swelling/bruising, or something more significant.

J K Galbraith had it about right
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest, best financed, most applauded, and, on the whole, least successful exercises in moral philosophy. That is the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. JOHN KENNETH GALBRAITH

I wonder if the Daily Mail would have been so quick to assume that the child brandishing the knife and the axe was ‘terrified’, if the child had been black and the adult white. Just exactly how normal is it for a ‘frightened’ schoolgirl to be waving an axe and a knife about?
