the trump visit's going well

I don't agree that we should be laying on this pageantry for a rapist and close friend of Epstein, when Peter Mandelson has basically been let go for being supportive of Epstein, the same as Trump was (even more so). However, the visit is going well because he has been kept away from the public and any difficulty questions.  Hopefully that will change tomorrow at the press conference. In the meantime, l've enjoyed some of the optics around the visit, especially the projection onto Windsor Palace. Well played.

RIP Robert Redford

 So many brilliant films, but this sums him up.

Plus his views on Trump. What a legend.

marc bolan by michal putland

I don't remember seeing this Michael Putland photograph of Marc Bolan before, but then again, l've had a hard life, l'm a very old man, and l may have forgotten. Either way, it's magnificent. Quote below is from The Guardian.

donald trump walks and talks like a dictator

He's not scared of saying what he's going to do in advance, l'll give him that, but it's one step at a time breaking all the rules and regulations until whatever he does seems normal, and there's nothing left in place to stop him. He's not kidding around with these statements.

And there's more!

the reform car - a fine piece of art or vandalism?

When l first saw this picture I thought the car had been vandalised, but it turns out the owner did it himself. I'm actually prepared to help the Reform cause by painting other Reform supporters cars or vehicles so they also look like this, so just give me a call. Trust me, l'm more than willing to help, and l actually did paint cars many years ago, so know what l'm doing.

power hungry? no morals? get your reform mask here and defect!

Want to change from a party that's absolutely fucked to one that's racist as fuck but desperate for MP's? No problem. Buy your Reform mask now. Plus, nothing emphasises 'party of the people' more than snagging a two faced Conservative hypocrite educated at Eton and Oxford with multimillionaire parents like Danny Kruger. Power hungry rats leaving a sinking ship who have no morals. More will follow

we're not racists, but........

This is the sort of crap l hear every day when l'm out and about. Plus, if you go to a rally headed by a far right racist, funded by American far right racists, and supported by a far right tech multi billionaire racist invoking violence against a democratically elected party, then you're a racist. Just own it.  From The Londoner.

racist elon musk and his racist father

If you wonder why Elon Musk is a racist, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Here's a few of his fathers racist views that he has no problem sharing ("and Elon feels the same"). Unfortunately, with Elon's money and platforms, he's spreading the hatred in a way that has never been possible before, and reaching millions of people (and with targeted messages). Full article is here.

the new banksy and the clean up

 Despite the fact that the right are trying to claim it's representing them being oppressed (I think it's the law coming down on the Palestinian Action protesters), l actually like the cleaned up version of Banksy's as well.  The ghostly aftermath has a lot going for it. More please.

the best of british down in that london

Our once great nation salutes and supports these brave patriots (including people l know), protecting our women and children, and keeping our streets safe. Fine upstanding citizens, one and all. Being proud of them fails to articulate just how l feel. I could weep at the sight of it. I hope the two tier police force prevent the left wing agitators causing any trouble later on, as that's just the sort of response l expect from them if they don't get their woke way. If so, lock 'em all up with the Palestine Action terrorists and throw away the key. Let's make Britain Great Again!

This all obviously sounds insane, but welcome to today's wonderful modern world. I love the internet but it has many many flaws, one of which is making dividing people and promoting extreme views a lot easier and harder to control. Tyler Robinson may have other motives for the shooting, so this is still speculation, but it is still very worrying that this sort of extremism is on the rise. Whatever happened to Peace Love and Understanding?

Here's an article about Nick Fuentes from 2021 (updated 2025). He's not a very nice man.
