An important article, highly recommend reading. Starmer continues to disappoint and Reeves truly doesn't have the best interest in mind for the average Brit. She appears dismissive & down right hostile towards individual rights and environmental groups protecting the natural beauty of the UK. Guy

Adam is spot on. Confidence radiates from within and doesn't need any accessories. Nor does masculinity need to bully, threaten, or demean others who are different. Seeing Trump et al parade about like puffed up tough guys is so contrary to what genuine masculinity means to me. Guy

2/8: The whole “alpha male” thing that Trump and MAGA keep selling? It’s not strength. It’s a mask for insecurity—an armor for men terrified of looking small.

Let’s talk about what real strength looks like—and how Trump’s MAGA “alpha male” act is the opposite of it. 🧵

Thank you Mia for the post. Baffling how a known misogynist was elected to the presidency twice. I ask myself do so many think so little of women's rights? Apparently so. Sends chills when I think of the depreciating comments regarding women that go on behind closed doors. Trump et Al have to go.

Historically part of the success of Britain has been the interconnection of hamlets, villages, and cities through the railroad. On the surface rail service linking communities might seem merely picturesque but in reality railroads are the binding agent for the nation. Environmentally friendly too.

Thank you Mia. So important to be reminded there is still beauty in this chaotic world. Guy

Brilliantly worded by Adam. How very true 😉. Guy

Thank you for the post Ian. This is a very dangerous direction for the UK government to take. Yes I concur, amplifies hostility and creates a "big brother is watching you" environment. Guy

Infusing diversity into a country makes for a richer society on many levels. Regrettably here in the US that knowledge has been ruthlessly discarded by the current administration & far too many Americans. Hopefully the UK will not follow the same narrow minded exclusive path that the US is now on.

Should we be grateful that a Labour PM belatedly takes a stand against racism? No. Too low a bar. But there's very little hope around and I'll savour what I get.

It's particularly important that the PM talks about racism. We can see it metastasising in the mainstream and until now No.10 looked too terrified to call it by its name. Saying the word is the first step to challenging it.

Very good to hear him say this. I cannot understand why these comments always seem to come two weeks after the fact, but it's much better than nothing.

Excellent suggestions 😉

Thank you George for the post. It is appalling that dehumanizing immigrants has become a reality here in the US. Equally appalling is the ICE agent is teaching the same racism to his children. Guy

Thank you for the post Peter. To my dismay this sort of racist immigration policy is what's unfolding in real-time here in the US. Racism has become a global pandemic. Guy

Truly this is horrific.

Thank you for the post Sunder. Well said by the PM. Farage with his hostile immigration proposals capitalizes on fear and the overall feelings of economic dissatisfaction among UK citizens. The same wicked tactic Trump employs so successfully here in the US and it has indeed torn the US apart. Guy

@barbrastreisand.bsky.social Just a quick hello on this Sunday afternoon. Sipping a cup of tea as I listen to "What are you doing the rest of your life". What a beautiful recording. With your voice, the Bergmann's lyrics, and music by La Grand- simply brilliant. Thank you, Guy

Happy World Bee Day to all. American beekeeper here. Agree, harvesting & selling locally is fantastic. Adding to the local economy & community. This said, even for ones personal use or not harvesting at all beekeeping is a wondrous journey. Most importantly, good for mother earth 😉. Cheers Guy

Nicely put

Thank you Aaron. Fantastic, she deserves to be booed off stage. 😉

Fantastic, she deserves to be booed off stage.

Restaurant reservations in DC plunged after Trump announced his takeover. It’s no surprise that rolling out troops into the streets dampens consumer appetite.

Mail-in voting is safe and secure, which is why President Trump and Republicans in Congress have repeatedly endorsed it. Elections are run by the states, not the president. We will stand up to any attempt to undermine our democracy.

Peter, I have reservations that the vague promise of "helping them out" will come into being. Trump is a man of low character and infamous for not keeping his word. Point of fact Trump makes clear he's pushing off the responsibility of military support to the Ukraine onto Europe/UK. Guy

Spot on, Trump is testing the waters in canceling 2028 Presidential elections. You know he's going to run under the loophole about his first and second term were not consecutive so it's not violating the two term limit. Just watch... I sense Trump would like to put a freeze on 2026 elections too.

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.” Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

A transparent attempt by Trump to distract from the Epstein connection.

I feel like it's time for this reminder:

My latest article. Guy

Appalling and the world just sits by. Shame on them. Guy www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/...

Rogan: The Epstein files are a line in the sand. We thought Trump was gonna come in and drain the swamp, we're gonna figure everything out. And then they're trying to gaslight you on that.

“Two of the best-known Israeli human rights groups said Monday that Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.” I agree. Sadly. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/w...

A must see- last night I wanted the first episode of the new season of South Park and in a word "brilliant". Chris Hayes did an wonderful segment on it last night as well. Take a few minutes and watch the interview and by all means see the new South Park episode. Guy www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch...

And so the shredding and burn bags has begun. Skulduggery at work in DC.

I mentioned this thought in an earlier post today. If everyone here in the US who wants Trump out of office made a commitment to indefinitely boycott any needless spending only necessities such as housing, food for your home, & gas. This financial pressure would remove Trump from office. Guy

Great convo between Vance & Ornstein. What leapt out was his statement about how protests are not going to work (which I concur with) but a general strike would. My thought is we all stop spending on anything but basic necessities, until Trump is removed from office open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

@willsommer.bsky.social: "Epstein died in a jail that was controlled by the Trump DOJ...This idea that Obama, Comey or Biden was involved in cooking these files is really coming out of nowhere and I think that's why that idea that Trump is floating really has been getting no traction."

Thanks for the post George. I don't follow Musk, but I gather he's referring to the turmoil over the Epstein files & client list. Perhaps Musk is right, the old ploys aren't going to work this time.

Donald Trump thinks you're stupid. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oibZ...

Thank you Philippa for the post & attached article. I agree with you, what's ongoing in Gaza is intended genocide. The world inexplicably is taking no action to stop this horrific injustice towards the Palestinians. We all need to ask ourselves and others where has our humanity gone? Guy

Powerful segment by Lawrence O'Donnell on Trump and Epstein. I highly recommend watching. My instinct tells me Trump is poised to pardon Maxwell to keep her continued silence, she knows the names of Epstein's clients. www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...

Curious Trump discharged the Prosecutor who handled the Epstein & Maxwell case. Is this the first step to discredit the Prosecutor & have Maxwell's sentence thrown out, set her free. Rewarding Maxwell's silence Manhattan Prosecutor Who Handled Epstein Cases Is Fired www.nytimes.com/2025/07/16/n...
