Michael Gove, Spectator editor, gave Mandelson a column *three weeks ago* *after a different Epstein disgrace* to defend a Trump, another Epstein pal, as he broke international law to attack Venezuela

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Am I missing something? Any US bombing of Iran would be straightforwardly illegal and yet nowhere in any of these “will they won’t they” pieces mention this.

This article literally complains about Morgan freeman in Robin Hood, a film which came out before I was born. If you sat next to someone saying this shit at a pub you know what you’d call him

Thanks Google

@economist.com hey perhaps your chief America explainer should not be easily lied to by the most famous liar in American politics

Pretty awkward to object to this if, say, Trump had entered politics explicitly saying this exact same thing about a bunch of innocent black guys

All da ladies queuing up to marry the really tired and weird guy

Maybe this is a non sequitur but the economist did a whole article on the future of Venezuela on a poll with 600 respondents, in case folk were wondering how “pissed off” people are about this transphobic shit - tens of thousands lining up to say “knock it off you terf freaks”

I've got a friend who occasionally points out Alex Jones was sort of right about chemicals in the water turning the frogs gay and besides it still being nonsense if your job is to say stuff eight hours a day every day for like twenty years you will accidentally get stuff right, it is not impressive

This guy’s son is him in the future

I think it’s going to be Really Good

Plus all the mendacious freaks writing articles demanding to know why weren’t people out on the streets of London and New York protesting in favour of all this

The economist last year ladies and gentlemen

The economy should smile more

If I were Russia I’d probably send some ships near Greenland so characterless mendacious freaks can pretend this means Trump needs to invade

Hey is there a way to describe not doing what a law says you should do

as @ahjohnson.bsky.social says a protest in support of your government‘s current policy isn’t a protest it’s a rally

Genuinely amazing to write this like a week after the Americans bombed Caracas and kidnapped the president, wow look how well the hostage collaborates with the armed maniac

This headline but [laudatory]

Everyone in the media can see this post and see the video, it would be nice if “Trump barefacedly lies about this” was included as context while covering other topics

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... so the bbc won’t say it was an illegal kidnapping but are either sure Maduro is guilty, a pretty serious editorial stance, or that he’s not getting a fair trial. Seems important!

Maybe I’ve missed it but have any democrats gone “obviously we’d give Greenland back immediately and jail anyone involved in aggression against a nato ally” because that seems like a very obvious thing to do

Wow seems like maduro’s guys are in charge still and people who backed Trump are in trouble, seems like Trump fucked up

@vanessabusch.bsky.social any further thoughts on this now Trump has got in front of a million cameras and said it’s about the oi? any lessons learned?

I went to a very dire Chatham house event immediately after the election where they did not react with sufficient concern to Trump II, and have moaned about it for over a year, but their coverage on this has been good

Hostage wants balanced and respectful relationship with insane killer

generally good but the fact everyone writing here knows this is an illegal war of aggression is a little buried. liberal think tank speak up my friend

Oh they can protest their own government why aren’t they protesting the IRAN REGIME

Freddy gray, senior figure at the spectator, cheerfully stating it’s a war of aggression based on controlling oil prices and having zero further opinion on this matter

Lying to readers is a sign of low moral character

I guess no one in the media feels like pointing out Trump‘s Iran threat is illegal?

Can’t believe MechHitler would let everyone down like this

Hy remember when everyone pretended Kirk was killed because of violent rhetoric on the left

I love Halo 3, just make more 10 level campaigns and pay your workers. to quote jim stephanie stirling, ‘just make and sell a video game’. I’m sure it’s hard but it’s not this hard

being able to spare my eyes for another task is literally the point of podcasts what are these maniacs doing

Do you guys remember in the last days before the 2024 election Labour organising frantic meetings with JK like she’s the Pope of Women begging her approval

Does seem like her main complaint is “the training isn’t racist enough”

epstein sure didn’t hang out with many non white people did he

the entire British political and media elite really seem to have decided to lie to our faces that people are being radicalised more by chants in London than genocide in Gaza

Are we sure it wasn’t the guys asking for peace that drove them to kill people, that seems to be what everyone is pretending to believe

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... engaging my brain for a fraction of a second do we think perhaps this might actually have been the flag of Israel what with it being projected on the leader of Israel? I Wonder

They’ll argue all day we need to hear from Nazis because freedom of speech must protect the worst speech but will go “nah forget the rule of law” if it looks like it’ll benefit someone they don’t like for even One Second

www.economist.com/leaders/2025... I’m actually sympathetic to politicians having to tread lightly to avoid alienating voters but I’d be more convinced if the Economist put the boot into these freaks a bit more while giving this advice

www.economist.com/the-americas... I bitch A LOT about the economist bug here they say the strikes in the Caribbean are “almost certainly illegal” which is the strongest stance I’ve seen from a prominent publication

all the “biden age coverup” guys presumably writing their articles on Trump threatening people over reporting on his health

Continues to repulse me that Niall Ferguson, married to a Somalian lady, rooted for this guy over Harris

apparently these people just get a pass as they constantly do the 'conflating all Jews with Israel' actual antisemitic canard, by the clever trick of pretending they think this is a thing their opponents believe

literally every normal person noticed all the macho bullshit about war and lethality and rules of engagement saw murder coming, it does make you think what they're up to at the washington post op ed page

www.spectator.co.uk/article/an-a... the spectator saw a guy trying to expose literal British fascists and decided to try to get him in trouble with the law. Pretty funny to try to do the whole 'let justice be done though the heavens fall' when they've e.g. ignored a genocide for two years

This isn’t even a participation trophy this is like giving a gold medal for running to a landmine maker
