That was fun. I got 0.0049. Waiting for my wife to try it - we often disagee about dark blue/black. What's the full spectrum of results you get? [I read the article but couldn't see this].
This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?
This from Facebook:
I've heard whispers and rumors but nothing definitive...
We've won the UK's first ever SLAPP suit - acting for @danneidle.bsky.social - and made some really important law protecting the right to call out barristers whose misconduct facilitates aggressive tax avoidance.
Compare this thread to the Chilcot Checklist, produced after the invasion of Iraq to avoid another stupid war.
For those wondering what Ed Davey was talking about, Nigel Farage said in 2014 that handgun restrictions brought in after the Dunblane massacre were "kneejerk" and "ludicrous."
The man who would be PM must do better than smirk when people bring up old comments.

Another lie to justify his stupid and illegal war.

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

It's in the FT - therefore it must be true!
Qatar's energy minister has warned that war in the Middle East could "bring down the economies of the world", predicting that all Gulf energy exporters would shut down production within weeks and drive oil to $150 a barrel. Saad al-Kaabi told the FT that even if the war ended immediately it would take Qatar "weeks to months" to return to a normal cycle of deliveries following an Iranian drone strike at its largest liquefied natural gas plant. Qatar, the world's second-largest producer of LNG, was forced to declare force majeure this week after the strike at its Ras Lattan plant. While Qatar only exports a small proportion of its gas to Europe, the energy minister said the continent would feel significant pain as Asian buyers outbid Europeans for whatever gas is available on the market, and as other Gulf countries find themselves unable to meet their contractual obligations.
The Iran War could “bring down the economies of the world”, Qatar’s Energy Minister tells the FT.

Something very fishy seems to be going on with Vance not appearing anywhere in public since Feb 25th.
Did he fall from grace with the smelly orange despot for NOT supporting the war games?
Shameful that Parliament makes no effort to rein in Farage or Cox to reasonable levels (= £40k on an MP’s salary). F & C clearly are full time on non-Parliament tasks.
And utterly dixgraceful that a massive Labour majority & a supposed Labour government does no reform at all. (Diagram Harry Eccles)
Superb.

I will miss Kristi Noem's inimitable constitutional insights, as when, asked by Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H. at a Senate hearing to define "habeas corpus," she replied, "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."

INDEPENDENT Nigel Farage says Trump presidency makes world 'better, safer place' 03:08 Sophie Thompson Saturday 09 November 2024 15:56 GMT Nigel Farage says Trump presidency makes world better, safer place' Nigel Farage has insisted Donald Trump becoming president for a belated second term will help make the world a "better, safer place". The Reform UK leader has been vocal of his friendship with Trump, and even received a shoutout from the Republican during a recent rally. This weekend, Reform UK are having a conference in Exeter, where Mr Farage remarked: "We can say with some confidence that 'woke' just died in America. "Trump being there makes the world a better, safer place."
BADLY WRONG about Brexit.
It’s cost the UK economy alone circa £130bn.
BADLY WRONG about Trump.
Attacked more countries of any modern President.
Farage clearly has incredibly poor judgement, yet the mainstream media, ironically, constantly question Starmer’s.
I'm over the god shit this administration is pushing. They are literally the least godly people around.

Thank you. I'll share the video of your interview.
Prof. Robert Pape:
"I have studied every air campaign since WWI... I've modelled the bombing of Fordow and regime change in Iran for 20 years... We are now in the grip of the escalation trap... This has never worked in over 100 years... Trump is up against the weight of history".
