The king’s visit to the US must go ahead despite Trump's terrible military aggression | Simon Jenkins A state visit is a connecting of people, not governments – our national bonds should be honoured, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
This opinion piece is braindead. Iβ€˜m sorry, but I canβ€˜t find any other description. Almost everything Jenkins says is an argument why the visit should be scrapped.

After a fashion. One of my last projects, I started, didn’t like how it looked and changed needle size and added a few stitches. I knit and unravel and start again until I am happy with the result. If this counts as swatching.

I still believe, if they film the time Vernon needs to drive around the country, to evade the Hogwarts letters, in real time, they might make it work for the first book. β€žAre we there yet?β€œ

This time we profile one of the worst people in the world and explain how much of what we associate with Trump is really Miller’s sinister mission to remake America

BlackRock fund limits withdrawals as redemptions rattle private credit Retail investors are increasingly asking for their money back as sentiment sours on private credit.

Here is another arrow in their quiver to ruin us all. These idiots act with impunity, in this way they do understand Trump.

Also, aus der SPD bin ich raus als
der β€žGenosse der Bosseβ€œ ΓΌbernommen hat. Die SPD hat sich vollkommen der neoliberalen wirtschaftspolitischen Religion angeschlossen und dabei total vergessen, dass es uns auch noch gibt. Menschen.

I never felt like the use of nuclear arms was even a possibility before. These days, Iβ€˜m not so sure.

I am scared the bombers Starmer allows to operate from UK airbases carry more than conventional weaponry.
If Trump wants, you’re going to wake up tomorrow to news of the first use of nuclear weapons since 1945 and the UK is complicit.
Trump has said before β€žif we have them, why can’t we use themβ€œ

I am boycotting the Mueller products since forever. Ever since I learned they used public wells illegally for production and the Bavarian State did nothing to stop them. That was when they still were a local brand.

Damn, it must be hard. Being in the press over crimes of your family. And getting asked to whine about it in a national newspaper. Tsktsktsk… 🎻

One: It was deadly for Labour to wage war against their own Left. Green and Labour voters together would see off Reform easily. Two: Burnham would have seen off Reform and have stood a better chance of getting a tactical deal with the Greens. It’s heartbreaking to see the damage done by Starmer.
