Dear UK. So let me get straight - the right wing nut jobs who spent the last 14 years wrecking the country in pursuit of their own personal self interest, who bought us austerity, brexit, and that idealogical lunatic Liz Truss, decamp wholesale into Reform plc joining a bunch of nut jobs who were too mad even for the Tories .... and you voted for them?

Dear USA, we too had a nut job leader, who f*ck*d our economy in pursuit of some idealogical economic gobbledygook. Cost us millions. We do however have an advantage over you in that we were able to dump her in 44 days, you're stuck with your nut job for the next 4 years. Hmmm

Curious that Trump wants to expand the USA, wants Canada, wants Greenland, wants Venezuela ......... but doesn't want Mexico. Why is that? don't they have enough mineral resources for you?

Sorry America - it looks to an outsider that Civil War 2.0 is well underway. Arrest and assassination of political opponents, emasculating of the media and judiciary, dismantling of State. Not looking good. 😒
Item in the Guardian questioning as to whether Johnson is/has used his former position as Prime Minister for personal enrichment. Really? There's some question here?
Just puzzled as to when F*r*g* had his tongue bifurcated? How else can he have it firmly stuffed up both Tr*mps and P*t*ns ars*s simultaneously?

Ive taken a bit of time to try and put this into a coherent form following the killing of Kirk so here goes -
Dear America. If you allow your population minimal restrictions on their access to guns, you cannot possibly be surprised when some nut job runs amock and shoots people. If you add the fact that you are a very large country with a large population, then these instances will become pretty commonplace. Factor in that your politics has become pretty toxic partly fueled by politicians and media sources with scant interest in truth and the rule of law then you cannot be surprised when said nut jobs start shooting political figures. That then spirals when the factions apportion all fault to the other side, suggesting that its all part of a conspiracy and not random lunacy, thus further ramping up the tension. From an external perspective it looks as though you are on the brink of civil war - I hope it doesn't come to that, but confidence is pretty low....

I've often mused about publishing a book "A British pictoral guide to wildlife" showing pictures of the corpses of all the animals killed in our roads. Drove along the A505 & A11 to Norwich - approx 90 miles - around 10 dead badgers, possibly as many as 20 dead deer plus lots of birds and multiple unidentifiable bloody carcasses. Hmmm

What i would like to know is how many of Trumps coterie have been selling shares they own or short selling shares. And then the follow up question - how many buy lots of shares at the Trump induced lower prices over the next few months.

Trump got a lot of flack last presidency for tweeting utter bollocks, so this time around he has employed Musk to do it for him!

So when some nutjob infiltrates a US reactor with a bomb and blows, say Virginia, to kingdom come in retaliation for Israel bombing Iranian nuclear sites - who are you going to blame?
Could Trumps insistence that the UK and the EU increase their military expenditure have anything to do with the significant proportion of existing budgets being spent with US corporations? UK 30-40%, EU 65% So if we up our spending by £3 billion, £1 billion goes straight to America (2 billion in the case of the EU)

Could Trumps insistence that the UK and EU up there military spending have anything to do with the fact
