America can't win this war. PINNEDYes, it has the world's most powerful military, but it can't achieve regime change in Iran. Yes, Iran is taking a pounding, and its people are suffering, but the regime can take a pounding, and its people can endure suffering. The Islamic Republic... See More »
The collapse of the old geopolitical order. PINNED“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.” -Bart De Wever, the Belgian Prime Minister, quoting Antonio Gramsci.

Trump's Geopolitics PINNEDThis is very British, and I mean that in a bad way. It's a pivot to crude 19th-century style imperialism as practised by the UK, France and others. The USA has always had a massive influence in Latin America: from the Contras to the Chile Coup, to... See More »
We support the right to protest but... PINNEDThis Saturday, thousands of British people took to the police to protest against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. This has been planned in response to the Israeli navy's illegal hijacking of the aid flotilla. Or as the Israeli government calls it: 'The... See More »
Are our government's complicit in a coming genocide? PINNEDI really want to be wrong but I fear that I am not. I started off predicting that tens of thousands would die in Gaza. I really hate to say that but think it will be in the hundreds of thousands. All the signs are that Israel is trying to make Gaza... See More »
One bad game. It only takes one bad game.France has the best team in the world on paper and on the pitch in the World Cup. They have been consistent and cohesive. Their front three is as good as anything I can remember. And yet, the Supermen are out, and Spain was their Kryptonite. Spain... See More »
England are the masters of winning in the hardest way possible and with maximum stress for their fans.Yes, but clutch. We have maximum clutch, and we need it all the time because the football is crap. Oh well. But we did win!
Sad end to the Ronaldo legacy.After his poor performance in Portugal's narrow (but deserved) defeat to Spain, this is the last that we will see of Christiano Ronaldo at the highest level. I have mixed feelings. He is an absolute narcissist and on the Ronaldo vrs Messi debate, I... See More »
England showed real grit.It was a game in which everything was stacked against them. A massive and hostile crowd, an on form Mexico team, heat, altitude a red card. It was the correct call btw but I thought that the penalty was very harsh. It wasn't pretty but it would have... See More »
England vrs Croatia, what do you think?I'm cautiously optimistic. Croatia are a decent team and will give us a game.
Trump wants an out but it won't be easy.The markets and oil prices have recovered a bit and Trump says negotiations are ongoing but I still have doubts. For one, the war is still ongoing and there is no ceasefire. For two, there negotiations are probably not happening. Iran even says... See More »
Trump threatens to take Greenland if allies to help him with the Starit of HormuzYeah, we should send our resources and military personnel to be shot at by Iranian drones and missiles because of the Orange blowhard's insane war? Pfffffff. His loyal allies (or 'allies') have already put up with tariffs, threats and general... See More »
War with Iran going well.Pleased to announce that our war with Iran has been a big success. Spectacular. The Islamist Iran regime is about to surrender due to our big success on Operation Epic Fury. I like that name. It wasn't my idea, but I like that idea. They should make... See More »
The Green Party just made Keir Starmer yesterday's man and beat Farage's Reform, for good measure. The Gorton and Denton bye-election. What a win! Proud to say that I campaigned in this. https://novaramedia.com/2026/02/27/the-greens-just-made-keir-starmer-yesterdays-man/ (1)
Andor is the Wire meets Bladerunner set nominally in the Star Wars Universe.With dialogue written by a depressed Emo kid. Perfection. 🤩
The UK might be losing itd Prime Minister. Again.Starmer is the 6th in the last decade. We used to take the piss out of Italy.
Six Nations Predictions, what do you think?1) France. The best squad with players at their peak and talent in all areas. Dupont is the best rugby player if his generation and the best scrum half I've ever seen. For me, only South Africa has a better team in world rugby. Also, it's after a... See More »
The tech oligarchs are pushing Trump to take Greenland.Of course they are. They've even invested in Greenland based companies with the expectations of cashing in. Yes, this is that corrupt. They have plans to build a 'Freedom City' on the Arctic island. Otherwise known as a Network State: a tax haven... See More »
