It turned out Greenland wasn't for sale and probably not that easy to invade after all (probably the Iran war fiasco made this increasingly unlikely) - so now it seems Trump wants to try buying the Chagos islands. If successful he'll probably celebrate by building a casino.

British delusions about Brexit were mocked on ZDF's Heute-Show back in 2018, the show highlighting part of a speech by Angela Merkel where she said about Britain "you cannot belong to the single market if you are not part of the single market", the show describing it as akin to speaking to children.

"Scientists may have finally cracked one of Stonehenge’s biggest mysteries" "a new study has suggested, based on evidence taken from the stone itself, that humans actually transported it" - that's been the predominant view for years anyway, not glacial movement* metro.co.uk/2026/06/05/s...

"Downing Street hits out after Vance post about Henry Nowak" This is dangerous and a direct interference in UK democracy both Musk and Vance now helping to whip up hatred in Britain with their lies and inflammatory remarks that are reposted on social media groups. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Simple fix: ban Elon Musk from the UK and nationalize his businesses Then do the same here in the US

"London weather: This weekend set to be nearly 20C cooler than May heatwave" #ClimateChange doesn't just warm the planet, it destabilises weather patterns, which is something climate scientists have bene warning about for years - yet it is largely misunderstood www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

It is likely that the UK saw 250 extra deaths " on the weekend before temperatures peaked" - UK homes are built to retain heat, it seems significant investment in housing is required to modernise housing as we are just at the very onset of #ClimateChange before things get much worse*

The UK government is set to publish a huge tranche of info relating to Mandelson’s appointment, which has proved to be one of the most momentous decisions by Keir Starmer in his time as prime minister. Mandelson's link to Epstein is far more damaging to Starmer than Trump's direct to Epstein.
