Hasn’t the UK got some good looking blokes they can send to ‘er’ negotiate with Trump ?

Can’t see Trump lining up with Putin if Epstein stuff goes his way. Makes no sense.

Maybe Donald needs to rethink his approach - if he has Putin and Xi against him it might be worth considering some other strategy.

Elon Musk followed me … how great is that ?

Trump goes off on his histrionics and Europe waits a couple of weeks.

Seems to a lot of cranks in the medical field presently. Do not go down the crank road to give birth, do not go down the crank road to avoid vaccines. These people are amateurs - usually with some Biblical garbage. They have no experience - just spouting 2000 year old rubbish.

I need to get in touch with my inner Farage mates to see how the land lies … it’s my Christmas holiday experience - finding out if immigrants should be shot. Every year I hope I don’t have to get cross.

Doesn’t really work for the World when a few people’s greed overcomes intelligent life. Best to get a move on before there isn’t anything to save.

Gill, Gibb … same old same old.

Trump seems to have jumped the gun calling for Democrats to be hanged. This is not normal.

Sort of despair - how can we as a World be living in this nightmare ? We know the danger to our planet, we can see the tragedy for its people and yet a few rich people with Neanderthal views are calling the shots. This cannot be right.

Why do the loonies who want to kill us all get so much traction ? Farage is not fit to lick the feet of my eye doctor who has operated on thousands of people and improved their sight - he is from Pakistan.

Realistically, if you are an oligarch and seeking to rule the World the first people you would get rid of is pensioners and the disabled as they have nothing to contribute to your hedonistic lifestyle.
November 20, 2025 at 6:49 PM
If the oligarchs are in charge and your services are ‘ no longer’ required- do you think for one minute your life will be worth a candle ?

So far - Farage is a friend to Trump, a friend of Epstein, a friend to Putin an adversary to Ukraine, a friend to the Tate brothers a Brexit enabler who cost the UK £150 Billion per annum in lost trade. Farage is supported by the Daily Mail, Express and the global media because he makes them rich.

I would just like to say, after the umpteenth time - the internet, collectively has no understanding of of homophones.

Here in Derbyshire we have a lot of Reform supporters - they voted for Brexit even though that’s made all of them poorer, they still think that it’s immigrants that are the problem. They don’t mind losing their human rights or their NHS because…. St. George’s day and having a bet …
November 19, 2025 at 2:14 PM
Let’s make no mistake about being a Reform supporter. They are a racist Party who want to give tax breaks to millionaires and privatise the NHS, they think you will support them because they like flags and don’t like immigrants. Immigrants are 49% of the NHS. They look after themselves not you.

I actually think Starmer is rather good at PMQ’s.

How many refugees bring jewellery as opposed to how many refugees are beholden and blackmailed for money when they are allowed to work ?

What are the boundaries for the UK in terms of what is deemed as illegal migration?
November 17, 2025 at 8:32 PM
Two days and it’s going to be snowing.

The real point is that the people living on the margin have no truck for asylum seekers so they are easily manipulated to thinking that’s the problem, when it’s the greedy billionaires that are to blame. They have no recourse to attack the real issue so they attack what’s possible.

Sadly the electorate are easily swayed by the Media. When is Government going to make the Media accountable ? How is it that Trump can sue the BBC for defamation but the Media gets away with repeated lies ? A small apology on P94 is not adequate.

In case you missed it.

By the way, it's not quite as boring as the title suggests.
Stasis, sanctimony and the liberal paradox. New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog with such Brexit news as there is, but mainly analysis of what 'responsible Farage' tells us about the tensions in Reform and what the BBC row tells us about Brexitism: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/stas...
