Oh God, the replies...

Oh God the comments, some Americans need to understand there are people from other countries on the Internet

Are you actually expecting everyone who's not an American to preface every post with 'note: this is for the UK'? Instead of perhaps expecting the tiniest bit of effort from readers to ascertain context before responding? Get real.

Hot tip. There’s a big world out there, and none of us add a #itsnotabouttheUSA tag to our posts.

I’m talking about the UK

My bio is there for reading

I’m in the UK, you utter melt

It’s in my profile you daft spanner

Says who? This is bullying and harassment

Too many yankspammers in the replies. Some quite rude. I’m not happy

I’m taking about the UK, I live in London.. it was the first post in my thread that makes it very clear and my bio clearly says I’m in London.

Jaysus, Americans in the comments FFS there is a world OUTSIDE the fucking US. Hover over his name, he LITERALLY has "London based" right there on the first line. NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT THE FUCKING UNITED STATES! 🤦‍♀️

I’m taking about the UK, I live in London.

Democrats should promise that every refugee, asylum seeker, and green card holder illegally deported, arrested, sent to CECOT, or sent to a third country can come back to the U.S. with a fast track to citizenship.

Labour MP Ian Byrne: "The lines from the PM and Cabinet today essentially labelling the Green Party as extremist is appalling, desperate and frankly embarrassing. "It also makes very clear that the leadership has zero understanding of where it has been going wrong."

Nobody has more experience in countering Shahed drones than Ukrainian forces. The US, Israel and the Arab states in the Middle East should request their knowledge, instantly. The fact that Iranian Shahed drones can hit high-value targets of US forces rather easily is very telling.

How many illegal regime changes does it take to get Nobel Peace Prize?

First impression: This is regime change, lots of ways for it to go wrong, a few it could go right, but at huge risk: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

OK, not sure who needs to hear this, but you don't actually destroy uranium by dropping bombs on it. You might scatter it around, or plug up the tunnel entrance to get to it, but you don't destroy it with conventional weapons

WOW. 19 people, all who were imprisoned and mistreated in a foreign prison at the direct command of the United States, are brave enough to say “We are innocent, and we will endure more time imprisoned to prove that.” I can only admire the enormous courage such a move takes.

The ridiculous extension of the wait for settled status isn't about putting up barriers to arrival, it's about putting up barriers to integration for people who have already been here for years. It's agreeing with Farage that these people should be treated with suspicion - and leaving it at that.

This would be a good time to have a bold & independent DoD Inspector General… www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

Many non-citizens have the right to vote. It surprises me that so many people don’t know this.

"Most of those now facing a 15-year wait are Commonwealth nationals with the right to vote. Rushing these reforms will create an enormous constituency of grievance among the directly hit + empathetic sense of unfairness among neighbours, colleagues + coworshippers" www.easterneye.biz/keir-starmer...

"These reforms were motivated much more by politics than integration outcomes. But the politics clearly bring much more risk than reward to this Labour government" "These complex settlement reforms will never cut through to the median voter. They will very much to the million voters they affect"

Sky News hearing Labour canvassers found that doubling (and tripling) the route to settlement has caused significant concern with those directly affected (Commonwealth migrants who have arrived in last 3 years) Sheer scale of changes not yet on the general media radar, though MPs hearing a lot

Dear America: Iranians are not Arabs.

No, I won't ever find a Navajo taco in London. I have to accept that certain foods are location and situation specific.

Yes, we need immigrants and should be welcoming them, not stirring up hate and creating an ever more hostile environment. London parties please take note. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost

Riot-control agents are NOT nerve agents. Please don't spread rumors about nerve agents during civil unrest (or ever!) Misinformation, even if well-intentioned, only makes it harder for people to protect themselves from real dangers. #PublicPreparedness

Occurs to me a voter registration campaign among non-citizen eligible voters (Irish + commonwealth, EU nationals in local elections) will help democracy and possibly help the parties not shitting on immigrants

Had is occurred to number 10 that racist immigration policies don’t gain them votes but lose them?

If I was the UAE I'd want my Board of Peace membership fee back.

Wow. Universal employees staged a walkout to highlight that ICE has devastated tourism, imperiling their jobs. They aren’t wrong. ICE is bad for the US, full stop.

I just feel like, ideally, the Labour response to yesterday's result would have tried to talk people *out* of detecting to the Greens, rather than, y'know, the opposite?

The Guardian reported two weeks ago that net migration would be negative soon. The “migration problem” doesn’t exist, it’s just racism.

There’s always tweets.

Then what happened?

Checking in on Tulsi Gabbard

"No new wars" really just meant "f*ck Ukraine" and everyone knew it.

Weird coloured smoke that rises into the sky in direct sunlight is almost always not the indicator of a chemical attack (because that’s totally pointless in chemical warfare) but almost always a sign of some stuff on fire

My problem with Spencer’s lot is that their defence and foreign policy stuff is a total hot mess

I guess the conservatives are hoping for the moral clarity, ideological purity, and unambiguity of having no votes and no seats.

It’s a good book by a smart guy

I wrote about the tragic death of Nurul Amin Shah Alamin Buffalo. I explain how complicity can be the cumulative result of many small decisions in which people abdicate their basic obligations to other humans -- the rule of law can't exist without empathy asharangappa.substack.com/p/the-questi...

Wild that the administration not only didn't bother to make a public case for war with Iran leading up to it, but doesn't even feel the need to justify it after the fact, either
