They stole Florida’s weather.

Reform UK’s Chris Mason claims this is the stickiest moment for US-UK relations. Is it fuck. Even his own colleagues have had to repudiate his stupidity on the live thread. Suez in 1956 would take some topping. US joined WW2 late and only after Pearl Harbour, and it got pretty frosty even between Reagan and Thatcher for a while over the Falklands before warming up again later on. Obama and Cameron properly fell out over Libya and Syria as well https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35761366

Never thought I’d praise Tucker Carlson but I’ll make an exception - he called it spot on, Trump is bonkers following Mad Ben headlong into Israel’s conflict. If it doesn’t blow us all up first, silver lining is it will finish MAGA off if the Epstein files don’t get there first (Quelle Surprise the distraction from those, and Trump). Even he’s having to warn the red hatted numbskulls of higher petrol prices for a while and that’s on top of his horrific economic tableau of tariffs and high inflation.

Let’s hope not.

I like Spain’s PM, last month restricted the dreadful AI and disinformation activities of Trump and Musk’s big tech firms https://www.reuters.com/technology/spains-sanchez-we-wont-be-swayed-by-tech-oligarchs-social-media-ban-2026-02-05/ That will have more bearing on what Trump has asked Bessant to do.

Funny also how Farage is quiet about how his idol is behaving, yet again. Able to copy his tactics about denying the by-election result though. Yes, evidence of family voting but they were nowhere near beating the Greens and it impacted Labour far more than his party almost certainly. A wanker cut from the same cloth as Trump.

I get why you’ve posted that and in principle I’d agree. In practice though, Ralph kept up a largely shit squad which Les Reed decimated in tandem with no investment from Gao for 3 years more than should’ve been the case. He’d lost his mojo and tactically exposed by summer of 2022. Pity as peak Ralph would’ve torn Rasmus and Shields a new arsehole which the pair of them deserved.

Doubled crossed Starmer politically on the Chagos Islands in the first place so I don’t know what the Orange Toddler is grizzling about now. Trump doesn’t care about international law but a previous Labour PM had issues on Iraq so the caution is understandable. Even so, Bush would have backed the UK up if our interests or territory were attacked. That’s far from certain, probably unlikely, for any NATO member under the fascist jackboot of Trump and Vance. If those two hadn’t been such cunts towards long-term allies in NATO, he could’ve used the Chagos bases.

Yes, it was made up on the moment of posting 😀

Been reading Andrew Lownie’s Entitled book about Andrew and Fergie (Sarah, not Sir Alex) which is currently 99p on Kindle. Apparently when Fergie first started sleeping with Andrew, Koo Stark taught him to count to ten (which it’s claimed he did out loud) before he fired off the royal caviar from his cannon.

Yeah, those aren’t the figures to attract Barca, Arsenal, Real, the Milan’s, PSG, City, Liverpool https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamaldeen_Sulemana Senegal’s answer to Franz Carr.

And Hoedt’s horror show there.

I’d have thought so, albeit not many travelling supporters…

Yes but the level of response is bound to create further escalation, which he and his cabinet of lunatics actually want.

Ben the nutter expands to attacking Lebanon.

Me and my friends tried a chicken balti pie 🥧 after all of the early-mid 00s fuss at Sheff Weds in 2005. We weren’t that impressed - metallic tasting and the filling was so hot it could have come direct from Mount Etna. Last time bar Norwich away (now that was a decent pie) that we ate at the football.

Or that indeed assuming that everyone (most of the people who post on the Lounge) telling him to sling his hook work in the public sector, not that there’s anything wrong with being based in any sector, as long as you’re good at what you do.

Bar a couple of years under WGS, Matt Oakley was lightweight and over-rated. Great goal v the skates having said that.

I wouldn’t give John any headspace. He can’t help posting the odd thing still - although it was vile even by his standards - in order to stir the pot despite theatrically ‘hanging up his keyboard’. He’s in his own self-inflicted prison of alcohol and loneliness. Trump will get his day of reckoning, Bondi can’t protect him from the Epstein files forever.

Why don’t do you ask some female colleagues or in your local pub and find out what they think?

Another one taking out Trump and Vance to go with Ben and the IRG and the world would be much safer place.

Not as disgusted as the people of Lowford are with John. Not that he cares, looking through the bottom of the latest cheap wine bottle he’s drunk, lonely and bitter.

Three absolutely appalling nations, leaders and governments entering into conflict with each other.

Trump has some sad cases working for him. Can’t see it being Stephen Miller’s handywork though, he’s more into hating blacks and Hispanics.
