457 DEATHS -2200 INJURED SERIOUSLY

Trump belittles lives lost and harmed whilst supporting America’s war. Maybe we should get out of NATO whilst the madman is on the rampage? Meanwhile Farage supports Trumps desire for Greenland whilst swanning around Davos at a billionaires expense. When will the thick twats in the UK wake up and see him for the money grabbing charlatan that he is. Oh and he supports Putin who is blasting the fuck out of Ukraine at present despite Trumps claim at peace!

Not a good start to a peaceful Saturday! Supermarket delivery done. All football predictions are in – no prize or cost – email if you want to join. r.p.churchill@gmail.com

Weather is a bit shite too – cold and damp.

Actually I have had a thought! When was the last time you heard a politician say “I made a mistake”.. Fuck me I have made more than a few! But I hope I am honest enough to own up. But then I do not have the shite press bray out “U Turn”. Like changing your mind when more facts come to light is a bad thing? Only for knuckle dragging morons!

PEACE

Trump claims the world is safer and richer than a year ago. I researched the number of deaths in conflicts in 2023 (approx 122000) and 2024 (approx 233000). So that would be a big NO. With over 130 active armed conflicts affecting over 60 countries – the world is not a safe place! Is it richer? While the super-rich saw record gains, nearly half the world’s population lives in poverty, and one in four people face food insecurity.  The wealth of billionaires has increased to $18.3 trillion. So donny is not lying – just being economical with the truth! Mamdami’s victory in New York was attributed to America’s cost of living crisis, so it affects even Americans. So like all Trump’s assertions he is not being honest!

Is the UK safer? Deaths down and London is definitely safer than a year ago, but crime generally is still a major problem. Is it richer? Again a mixed picture – anyone close to the poverty level is probably not, those with index linked pensions, yes; We do have a fairly efficient welfare stae in the UK despite 14 years under an incompetentTory Government And despite a right wing press for whom double standards are the norm. Angela Rayner resigns over a £40000 tax bill that was probably due to poor advice, but she accepted the criticism, and resigned. Farage ‘forgets’ to register £350000 income but avoids criticism by blaming his staff. This is how the rich live – claim all the credit for success and blame the workers and innocent for any criticisms. Bastards.

Meanwhile Elon Musk is negotiating the floating of SpaceX on the NY Stock Market that will make capitalism farcical! Andy Burnham may attempt to return to Parliament and then possibly challenge Starmer. He is certainly more charismatic than Starmer – and possibly more left wing. Floods and landslides cause deaths in NZ. ICE holds 5 year old boy as he returns home after school – fuck Trump!

DELUSIONAL TACO

So Trump changes his mind to reinforce his personal acronym “Trump Always Chickens Out”. Does he really think people believe him anymore (apart from flailing politicians like Badenoch and Farage). He claimed to have had talks with NATO boss, who denies that the subject of Greenland did not come up! Who to believe – hmm – the evidence is plain. He has lost most of his marbles. European leaders have reiterated that sovereignty of Greenland is not open for discussion – still silly Donny takes credit for the existing situation (which has not changed one iota). Regarding the Chagos Islands which the twerp announced was a good deal when agreed, is now a bad deal. He mocks European leaders but claims to have a good relationship with Xi and Putin. He is just jealous of their automatism. He is also confused at times as he refers to Iceland rather than Greenland? He has a fat file of his achievements – but will not read them out. Dementia is a horrible disease, especially when lived out and revealed for everyone to watch. I doubt he will last the duration of his term; the real question is will medical science or impeachment end his sordid reign. Unfortunately for him history will not be kind. And I am willing to accept that he has some positive achievements (albeit that most are on a golf course!).

Elsewhere in the news – well not much else 709 planes flew participants into Davos for the summit – SEVEN HUNDRED AND FUCKING NINE! So just over 3000 delegates need to come by private jet to showcase their wealth? or their fear of ‘normal’ people. Various leaders queued up to join Trumps “Board of Peace” so they can get a share of the spoils, they might have to wait as Israel seems intent on killing more Palestinians. Perhaps Starmer would like to set out a “Red Line’ regarding Israels illegal occupation of Gaza and parts of the West Bank.

Other ‘front’ page news – Harry sues Daily Mail – wgaf? I hate the Mail, but priveldged royal brat will not get my support either! Similarly with the Beckhams which occupies many front pages recently. Priveledged brats brawling like neighbours on an estate arguing about whose cat shit in their garden!

Positive news – in the EU wind and solar energy production surpassed fossil fuels for the first time. Another reason why Trump hates us Europeans.

And then inflation went up due to airfares and tobacco! Is there an index which just relies on essentials?

DAVOS

This annual meeting is a networking site for major Western leaders, institutions and businesses. About 3000 will attend to do deals and set/confirm alliances. Trump will speak in a sort while; but it maybe more important that the list of those not attending includes leaders from China and India and Brazil (although represented). I am sure Trump will say something that makes him the centre of attention, what that will be is anybodies guess – from invading Greenland or Colombia to an announcement that he will demand ‘protection’ money from all countries. His claim that ‘globalisation’ does not work is interesting, coming from the leader of a country that has gained wealth and influence. In terms of poverty, there are fewer people in absolute poverty than the last 50 years. Environmentally (not a Trump strong point!) it has been a disaster!

So he has started of boasting about the US economy and wealth creation in the USA and countries that have complied with his demands regarding tariffs. then onto green technology which he calls the great scam. He will be dead before the issue really hits the fan! He may even be correct, but would you cross a busy road dodging traffic when there is a safe crossing nearby? Now he is onto Greenland – the fuckwit is now in his element as there is no logic behind anything he could say. He is seeking immediate negotiations to purchase Greenland – Denmark should not only ask for a ridiculously high price, but also add in clauses that will make him wince whilst supporting Greenlanders in the future. Trump has now said he will not use force – I would not trust him to (add your own example!).

And now I am sorry – listening to the twat is less interesting than watching paint dry.

FIFA

I am sure FIFA redistributes a lot of cash to less well off football associations around the world, after the suits have lined their own pockets. But integrity and morality are not words associated it. Recent World Cups have been held in Russia and Qatar. The next FIFA World Cup will be held in Mexico, Canada and the USA. It is likely that fans from at least a dozen countries will be banned from entering the USA where 78 of the 104 games will be held. Politics and sport are difficult bedfellows (Apartheid South Africa and cricket, Olympic Games in USA and USSR). So it is highly unlikely that there will be a boycott approved by the suits in various FA’s around the world. However there will be protests – already a petition has nearly 100.000 signatures in the Netherlands. Real fans are already priced out by high ticket prices, but will we hear the voices of those gammons who protested their ire against the banning of Macabi fans from a match at Aston Villa due to previous violence and racism. Not a peep! Is there any morality any more?

Oh for a politician ‘Who gives a fuck’. Has the media brow beaten us into a selfish obsession with our personal wellbeing? Is the cost of living ALL we care about? If so everyone will end up being treated like shit, fed on substandard (cheap) food and society will become more unequal.

ONE PILL MAKES YOU !

Unhinged! Just released by CBS after freedom of information request to Norwegian Parliament.

Message from Trump to Støre, 18 January at 16:15: 

Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. 

Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. 

The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT

He needs to be sedated – NOW

A NOD IS AS GOOD AS A WINK TO A BLIND HORSE

Trump is too far gone to reason with. He lives in a fantasy world populated by psychophants and paedophiles (Epstein evidence, despite redactions and delays reveals Trump as one of the sad men flattering themselves by abusing young women).

His actions will basically force countries into alliances with China, Canada has already done so, Europe could be next. Meanwhile China is investing heavily in its “Belt and road” Project, the power base is moving. Empty promises, such as those given to. Iranian protestors, will not win hearts and minds; attacks such as that on Venezuela will not bring pride and support, just condemnation. One only has to look at his physical stance when he procrastinates to realise that he is a weak man trying to bully others support when his mantal capacity is not up. to it. Chin out and aggressive face should not replace reasoned arguments from one of the most influential on the planet.

His economic and social policies are no longer supported by the majority of Americans; prices have risen; fuel is up and the antics of ICE resemble those of the Gestapo. Wearing masks and with no evidence they are destroying America, even arresting AmeriIndians (for immigration infringements? Fucking stupidity).

OBSESSION

Or just fucking crazy? Trump announces tarrifs on many European countries 10% then rising to 25% if they do not give him Greenland. Firstly the American Constitutin must be really fucked if it allows his petulant bullying to fester. Europe and the EU are a multitude of independent states that have varying degrees of democracy – and it is notable that the countries identified by the shithead are amongst the most democratic; UK; Netherlands; Norway; Denmark; Sweden; France; Finland and Germany. A sensible President would – errr never have dreamt up the jackshit idea in the first place; and if they did would task European Nata to police the area. What is the point of NATO any more? Trump claims that it has not been paying its way – A European persepective would be that for too long European NATO has been a compliant supporter of American hegemony.

However now that the USA has shown that it is no longer a friend of Europe it is time to strengthen our borders, expel American bases from our countries; or maybe just increase the rent conmensurate with the cost of tariffs? What friend would tell you to have a party organised by them in your home, or even give them the house; or they would charge you !

I know we live in a globalised world, but I would support a prioritisation of European companies over American ones. Difficult when it comes to tech – but Europeans love a challenge! And we should pull out of the FIFA World Cup.

KNOBS ATTRACT EACH OTHER

So Jenprick has no morality and joins the shameless pricks in Reform. Not only was he a major member of the Tories last government; and so committed to their values that he not only defected but also slagged of the last government (and therefore himself!). But then we expect nothing better from the corrupt. We already know that farage is a 100% chancer, slags Jenprick off in April and welcomes him in the following January. No wonder people are sick of the Westminster bubble. OMG how I would like to punch them both! Farages face looks like it is 95% on the way to a gooey mess already so it might take weeks to rid my fist of his objectionable gunge! Not a bad rant?? And that is without including their best buddies Trump and Putin!

Thankfully we have Premiership football again this weekend. I am predicting draws for ManU, Leeds, Chelsea and Wolves with an away win for the Gunners and the rest to be home wins! My car is winding me up again! Absolutely no battery this morning and the boot firmly locked! Passenger window stopped working a couple of days ago. I have a mobile starter/charger which did allow the screen to light up, but not strong enough to start it! So the charger is on charge! I will wait and see if this works!

JOKES FOR JANUARY

I have decided my posts are too political – so some jokes

Republicans don’t think they’re funny, and Democrats don’t think they’re jokes.

What does the Trump administration use instead of emails?

Alternative fax.

People keep grouping all Trump supporters with these Nazi movements recently, which I disagree with, and think is quite silly.

After all, the Russians fought against the Nazis.

What did Trump say when asked how to respond to Hurricane Florence?

“Pay her the same as Stormy Daniels!”

But politics is important – after all; Politicians spend your taxes. Actually that is a good point, how many would trust Boris or Farage to spend their money wisely, rather than for self engrandisement? OK, those with racist and fascist tendencies would, but the sane ? NO WAY!
