There are not the words for how much I absolutely fucking hate the Americans.

The Yanks can get fucked sideways.

"Winston Churchill is a hero. He’s earned his place on our Five Pound Note. He must not be replaced with an Otter."

I'm increasingly convinced that this whole campaign is in fact an elaborate joke.

Is this the same Andrew Neil who eviscerated Keir Starmer for not joining Trump's attack? It can't be, surely.

How it started ... How it's going

Hard to see what FIFA, the institution, is getting from this guy’s relationship with this guy? FIFA left badly exposed whatever benefit its president seems to derive in terms of status or whatever else. Some FIFA members must be thinking, “blimey - that’s our president.”

ICE detainee in Arizona dies after not receiving medical attention for severe tooth pain Emmanuel Damas, a Haitian asylum seeker, was being held at the Florence correctional center before he died

A Haitian asylum seeker detained by ICE died after being refused timely medical attention for a severe toothache.

At least 40 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office — a two-decade high.

The monstrous cruelty of Trump's police state knows no bounds.
