I thought Trump was as mad as a barrel of frogs but Hegseth takes stupiidity to a higher level. His latest vomit included a comment that Europe should be thanking Trump for for the war. He also stated that there was no time frame for ending the war and also did not deny that Trump would be seeking a further $150 billion of tax payers money to pay for its continuation. And, from this side of the pond it appears that the American public acquesces to this. From my viewpoint Trump has already lost the war – the Middle East is no longer a haven for wealthy tax dodgers and relationships between nations in the area may have been irrevocably broken. Israel is more isolated than ever (although they have always adopted the motto of Millwall FC “Nobody likes us and we don’t care”). World energy costs have spiralled and are unlikely to ever return to the levels of 2025. China with its virtual monopoly of rare earths is infinitly more powerful as only the really stupid (like our own barrel of frogs or in the case of Farage -toad) will hesitate in developing their own energy resources based on green energy.
Meanwhile back at the spittoon Farage calls for a ban of public displays of prayer by Muslims, desperate to fight off the Green surge he is appealing to the knuckle draggers and flag shaggers to suddenly get upset about an event, attended by many religions, for the last 7 years in Trafalgar Square. Reporters were unaware of the pigeons joining in! He called it “an open, deliberate, wilful attempt, not at the private observance of a different religion, but the attempt to overtake, intimidate and dominate our way of life”. Personally I was not intimidated but saw it as a celebration of our multi-cultural society in the same way that the local shop celebrates Diwali and Christmas. He is pandering to the lunatic fringe who are believers in the conspiracy theory of a Muslim takeover.
A study of the media coverage of climate change found it to be generally negative, but desite this the public is suportive of climate action. Bombing and setting fire to gas fields is so unbelievably stupid! And the media will condemn people using regular flights whilst ignoring the rich fuckers gadding about in their private jets. I would suggest a small start by suggesting that no private jets can take off on Sundays. I might even include the RAF in that!
