This is "I Put Up Tariffs" 🎶- perhaps the first ever parody song (?) to make reference to the Smoot-Hawley Act of 1930. It's based on
#BobMarley's
legendary "I Shot the Sheriff" and sung from the point of view of
#Trump
, unleashing his frenzy of
#tariffs
on the USA & the world.

Re last night’s events in the WH. DJT calls himself a great businessman who makes great deals. But there are persistent stories of him having bullied suppliers and those he considered less powerful than him, into accepting bad deals. Or not paying them at all. I think we see how that works now.

A year ago, when Suella Braverman wrongly said grooming is mainly undertaken by Pakistanis there was at least some outrage, some pushback, some degree of people standing up & reacting. Now it is totally normal for politicians across the right to say it.

It's stating the obvious i know, but the more we learn about the reality of healthcare in the US, the more we should reconnect with appreciating the NHS & the principles of the NHS. Yes it's bruised & battered, but NHS still represents a commitment to a basic sense of fairness, decency, & community.
