At what point do we start decommissioning the Nazis’ key propagandists?

Haven’t we learned a damned thing from 1933-45?

Merz: We discussed Russian oil and gas deliveries with the US President in the G7 this week. Six members clearly said this sends the wrong signal.

This morning we learned the US government apparently decided otherwise.

UK energy prices are soaring – and propagandists want to sell you a false reason why | George Monbiot The war on Iran has put fossil-fuel prices centre stage, but don’t believe those who tout ‘maximising the North Sea’ as our salvation, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Why only fossil fools would blame renewable energy for a fossil fuel crisis.

Just think about it, if we hadn't been run by climate deniers previously, we might be so much nearer wind and solar power as our main source and less dependent on being held to ransom for oil.

The Last K in Kirkuk The American Empire will fall soon, it is rotten at its heart’s core, the Emperor is a fool and his courtiers like the senators that stabbed Caesar are waiting for the time to pounce.

The BBC will regret jettisoning the Oxford vs Cambridge Boat Race

The Conservative press are all up in arms over the BBC "losing the rights to the boat race" like it's some great national betrayal.

Meanwhile, in the real world:

● LBC had the radio rights from 2005 to 2010

● ITV had tv rights from 2005 to 2009

● Nobody else cares

The quislings of the right have abandoned patriotism Their mud-slinging over Iran shows that Farage, Badenoch and the Mail prefer to side with US extremists than back their own country

Badenoch denies calling for UK to join US-Israeli war on Iran Conservative leader accused of taking confusing position after she said Starmer should ‘do more than catch arrows’

At the most basic level of 'have some self-respect', Conservative MPs should not put forward someone who visibly is not intellectually equipped to be prime minister as their candidate to be prime minister.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

To be given such an award after her one and only good tournament was rediculous. How many coaches has she had? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis...
