Not sure which one is more bizarre, this one or Putin? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/21/benjamin-netanyahu-to-join-trump-board-of-peace-despite-previous-israel-objections

Nice little earner… https://americanliberty.news/media/nyt-editorial-accuses-trump-of-pocketing-over-1-4b-in-past-year/njackson/2026/01/

To be fair, the Americans have been happy to play the part of the World’s policemen and Europe’s big brother. Until Trump pitched up that is. He is right that we haven’t been paying our way, but how many previous administrations have let it slide? Re Greenland, has anyone told The Donald just how close Alaska is to Russia? To pinch a joke from the brilliant Not The Nine O’Clock News over 40 years ago… Donald Trump is going to make up for America’s late entry into WW1 and WW2 by being early into WW3. (For you youngsters the original gag was aimed at Ronald Reagan).

Starmer may have been on his (diplomatic) knees but at least he is not on his knees in front of Trump for the same reason Farage is! Starmer gave a very impressive speech in response and performance in PMQ’s today. I’d rather our PM played the statesman than sucked Trump’s dick. If anyone wants to know what we can expect under a government led by Farage, just look at the US now. Farage is a Poundland Trump.

Maybe, but why? They have been happy to do what they want to do when they want to do it and we have gone along with them every time. Seems like we see that support as payback. As for Trump. There needs to be a giant screen behind him that instantly fact checks his words and flashes up “LIE” every time he tells one.

Farage is against a European army.

The issue here is that Farage is presenting his party as different to the same old same old of the Tories and Labour and people say they want a change to something different. Reform are no different, in fact every time another Tory defects to them they become just like the rest, but with even worse party members.

I’m guessing that I have touched a nerve. Having come out in support of Trump’s shill they can’t back down so they have to double down on their position. History will show that Trump, Farage and Netanyahu are no better than Putin. They must be feeling just like the editorial team at the Daily Mail back in the 40’s when the penny dropped that Hitler was a wrong’un. I have another pub name - The Duckhunter and Snapdragon

America are a superpower. Why? Because they wanted to keep Communism at bay and keep a sphere of influence in the oil rich Middle East. Why should we be “grateful” if they want to be Billy Big Bollocks? How much money are the US munitions industries making out of Ukraine? They are not doing anyone a favour. They are treating it as a business deal.

Does backing them up in Iraq and Afghanistan make us “ungrateful?” As for them doing us favours, we haven’t long finished paying them back for the money loaned from WW2. Do you think the US have been hard done by by us?

If anyone doesn’t believe that Trump has gone totally ga-ga, just listen to his Davos speech.

The Carney Davos speech in full. A long read but hopefully the start of a major European and others push back against Trump. https://globalnews.ca/news/11620877/carney-davos-wef-speech-transcript/

Whoops! https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/37974104/nigel-farage-breached-mp-sleaze-rules/

If it is true that Armstrong doesn’t want to be here, what is the point of keeping him when we are in need of unity in the dressing room? There has to be a decent or half decent striker somewhere on the planet who wants game time and would put in a shift.

Absolutely. In any sane world no one would put up with this. He would be taken away for help and we would carry on with his deputy (not that Vance is a huge improvement, but at least he hasn’t lost his marbles). This pussyfooting around the issue helps no one. At what point will the American’s realise that only one person has Trump Derangement Symptoms and that is Donald Trump himself. The bizarre thing is not Trump’s behaviour, it is that he has lost the plot but is still the President.
