Goosebumps! People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Here is a great example, from the Steven Colbert Show, in which Sir Ian McKellen delivers an extraordinary speech. Shakespeare’s words are timeless, urgent and important.

The Tangerine Turd takes an opportunity to remind the world that he's not just a long-term associate of the paedophile Jeffrey #Epstein.

He's also a racist arsehole.

For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.

Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

But the real question is why did it take an international backlash for Musk & Co to realise that this was wrong?

"Britain won't go to war over a scrap of paper"

- German Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg, 1914 (Referring to the 1839 Treaty of London guarantee of Belgian neutrality).

Apropos of nothing, #Greenland is part of Denmark. Denmark is part of #NATO.

And Article 5 is a thing.

If undermining Vance is now grounds for dismissal, I assume the next one to go will be JD Vance himself?

Isn't @elonmusk the head of the Department of Government Efficiency?

If you want to put your money where your mouth is, a friend of mine is soon taking generators to Ukraine soon as part of a convoy.

Does anyone in the UK have a generator (any size) they would like to donate?

DM if so.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

Currently sitting in a group debating whether Trump is an agent being run by the Russian SVR or an agent run by the GRU.

I guess either option is possible, but personally I think it's more likely that he's just a thin-skinned, vindictive moron.
