Truly woeful. 6 days and still no sign of my suitcase. A different response from the call centre every 24hrs. Left in the dark. 0 proactive communication. Over £1000 of items missing inc my wife's pregnancy meds. Bravo 👏 🏆
Interesante dilema para el Uribismo:
La justicia que absolvió a Álvaro Uribe en segunda instancia es legítima.
La justicia que condenó a su hermano en segunda instancia no lo es.
President Petro, your words cut through the fog of propaganda and lay bare the anatomy of empire.
Colombia’s agony is not an accident.
It is a business model perfected in Washington, then exported across the hemisphere.
The "War on Drugs" was never about drugs.
It was about turning every border into a checkpoint, every government into a client, and every insurgency into a market for easy money and cheap blood.
The world remembers the CIA planes in Laos.
It remembers Burma’s warlords, Indonesia’s massacres, and the transformation of revolutionaries into smugglers, all so the machinery of profit and control could keep grinding.
What happened in Colombia was not unique. It was empire’s signature, signed in cocaine and inked in violence.
What they call "democracy" is a ledger, and what they call "law" is just a weapon wielded by those who own the police and the press.
The real "failed state" is the one that wages war on its own people in the name of order, and outsources the rest to a mafia with a flag.
Your warning is clear:
Cocaine is not a Colombian curse.
It is an imperial currency, a pretext for endless militarization, a license to intervene and extract.
The devastation of Latin America was not the unintended consequence of anti-drug policy.
It was the goal.
This is why missiles fall on fishermen and farmers in the Caribbean, just as bombs fall on hospitals in Gaza, both justified as "security" by a dying order desperate to control what it can no longer inspire.
You name the real catastrophe:
When profit is the only principle and control the only strategy, even life itself becomes collateral damage.
But history is moving.
The "backyard" is finding its voice.
The South is rising, from Hanoi to Bogotá.
And every time the empire tries to crush that memory, it only makes the roots grow deeper.
You are right, President:
It is not drugs, nor oil, nor even revolution that frightens empire most.
It is solidarity, the moment when the colonized begin to see each other, and refuse to be divided.

@GoDaddy@GoDaddyHelp Our website has been down for 30 minutes, and the "Contact" option on your website doesn't appear to be working either. Please can you give me an update on this.
ITV pulling zero punches in this incredible footage - "This landscape of destruction looks otherworldy, but it's not, it's this world - What is happening may come to define one of its darkest eras, one that casts a stain on humanity, which will endure for generations" #Gaza
. @SW_Help 20:37 Waterloo to Yeovil Junction service: rammed to the rafters. So much so the guard is pleading with people to take a different service. This has been a repeat theme during my entire adult life. Painful and embarrassing.
Right, off out to vote. I pride myself in never having voted, ever, for a
‘winning’ candidate. Politics has generally been a ‘lesser of two cunts’ contest of party machine monkeys and this is the most extreme version of that, so I’ll stick to voting purely on principle.
Two World Wars and One World Cup. Ten German bombers. Don’t know why anyone is getting upset. But I have to be honest, I’d trade those witty japes for four WC’s three EC’s, a train system that works perfectly, health care, great roads, proper beer and the fact it’s not England.😂
@LondoMomposino That made me laugh out loud.
Swap terrace for park, Bogotá for Ibagué, and neighbours for weed smokers and we're on exactly the same page. 🚫
