The relentless rise of right-wing populism across Europe seems to have faltered. Spain led the way by returning a left wing government and now France has shown that extremism of LaPen is not not gaining momentum as the the Mayors of several major cities including Paris now have left wingers in place. Only Eastern Europe remains a stronghold, and even in Slovenia the right wing did not riumph with a majority. What is it with Eastern Europe? – did overlordship by the USSR brainwash the electorate into believing that fascism was the answer? Let me hope that the UK continues this trend and the rubber faced toad gets his comeupance next month!
Trump continues to appal – his use of the word obliterate is offensive and obscene. Let me assess the winners and losers so far. America – loser as it has spent tens of $billions in achieving the deaths of a few prominent Iranian’s; disrupting the world trade in oil and gas; increasing inflation worldwide; loser – millions of poor across the globe to greater poverty. Israel – possibly a winner as all they care about is killing Muslims! Although Netmanyahu’s popularity has not grown with the war. Winners – huge fossil fuel corporations and the US industrio-military complex who are making giant profits at the American tax payers expense. Losers – humanity and the environment. BIGGEST LOSER – DONALD PAEDO TRUMP. He gambled on a quick victory, copying Putin, and failed the same way! Did he declare war due to the Epstein files? Unfortunately it is unlikely that he will end up in jail – lawyers are great at procrastination!
Let us all celebrate the UK’s women athletes who won 3 gold medals in 30 minutes at the World Athletic Championships. Only the Guardian and surprisingly the Telegraph (and excuse for pretty girls on the front page?) thought this positive news was fit for the front page. The rest had readers gagging to know who to hate on this Monday morning! How long before the relentless juggernaut of hatred assails these 3 womens fantastic achievements.
Finally – beware Palantir! Why do we need to give government contracts to and American company – regardless of the poor judgement of its founder.
