A very, very impressive amount of pretending not to understand things we do understand very well, today. And the intensity! Very well done.

- It is grimly hilarious to see this guy ripping up decades of American soft power projects while going “Wow!” and “Gawrsh!” at stuff he doesn’t understand. God only knows what the Russians or Iranians are making of the CIA getting absolutely hosed in public by an imbecile.
- Did something unusual happen in Britain and America round about 1980 or soIt really is insane that the Anglosphere just doesn't build housing.
- Whatever you make of this and wherever it may be going, I think we have to agree on one simple fact: the toothpaste is fully out of the tube here, and the Mail cannot push it back in with any amount of Bodysnatchers-style pointing and screeching.
- The British press made this guy. If not for them, he’d still be addressing Rotary Clubs.
- I like the bit where he says these children’s drawings promote hate, while pointing at a load of paintings that say “peace” and prominently feature doves.The UN, who was established in the wake of the Holocaust's horrors, has chosen to hang paintings on its walls that explicitly call for the destruction of the Jewish people and do not recognize the State of Israel. This is a disgrace, and I demand that the UN immediately remove

- As I’ve said before: when the director of Children of Men was asked how he made his future fascist Britain feel so grounded and authentic, he said he looked at the country in 2005 and asked himself - what would happen if it continued just like this, on this precise trajectory.BREAKING: The government is expected announce plans to move all migrants and asylum seekers out of hotels and in to military bases and potentially disused ferries @robpowellnews has the latest trib.al/0lW6hra 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube
00:00 - Absolutely fucking wild stuff here, beyond the wackiest 80s movie satire: the PM televised thanking military personnel for their vital work but nobody can explain to the public what that work is, because that work is “materially supporting crimes against humanity”.'The whole world and everyone back at home is relying on you.' Prime Minister Keir Starmer tells British troops at an RAF base in Cyprus that he is 'grateful' for their work after a 'busy, busy year'. trib.al/YKanzN3 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube
00:00 - There were still a few WWI veterans knocking about when I was a kid, and I can imagine the reception this kind of bizarre behaviour would get. This stuff would’ve been considered incredibly crass and stupid as recently as the 80s and 90s.
- This is because “policeman” is a great frame for the question: will I help people, or stomp upon them.
