I just read this on Facebook:
Someone asked "Why do many British people not like Donald Trump?"
Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:

Since the start of 2020/2021, Bruno Fernandes has created more chances (431) than any other player across Europe’s top five leagues. The closest Premier League player to him is Kevin De Bruyne on 335.
The best playmaker in Europe. 💫
As this presidential campaign comes to an end, let me say a few words to the folks who have not yet decided who they'll vote for – or who have decided to sit the election out:
Wow! In a brilliant find, the Lincoln Project has unearthed footage of Donald Trump using slurs against Kamala supporters:
“They’re scum and they want to take down our country. They are absolute garbage.”
- Donald Trump, 9/7/24
Tories, without any irony at all having the brass neck to lecture anyone about fiscal responsibility is one for the ages.
For the layman, they torched your home, nicked and gave your valuables to their mates, ran off and are now shouting at the Fire Brigade for attempting to putting the fire out.
And STILL nobody arrested for the grand theft of YOUR money by virtue of corrupt contracts given out.
I’ve been all over the country in the last month.
And I get asked the same question, over and over again:
“I disagree with Kamala’s position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?”
Here is my answer:
Absolutely!
- My 401K is up 47%.
- My Bitcoin has skyrocketed by 118%.
- My home value has increased by 80%.
- I no longer worry about COVID.
- My business is bringing in 140% more revenue and 97% more profit.
- Everyone close to me have jobs and healthcare.
- I haven't had to fear for democracy, except for recently.
- And best of all, I no longer need to explain to my kids why the president talks about disturbing things or brags about sexual assault.
No matter what your political views, we cannot support somebody who is working overtime to undermine American democracy.
We cannot support somebody who fomented a violent insurrection.
We cannot support somebody who won't accept free & fair elections.
We cannot support Trump.
A huge outpouring of grief across social media for what we’re witnessing in the Middle East…
And yet this doesn’t tally at all with our national press
…why?
There was a whole period when well regarded British commentators insisted Israel would never target civilians, never attack a hospital, and were offended at the suggestion. They have blithely moved on to other matters.
The horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a completely unrestrained Netanyahu gov, fully armed by the Biden admin while food aid is blocked and patients are bombed in hospitals.
This is a genocide of Palestinians. The US must stop enabling it. Arms embargo now.
Real strength is about helping people who need it. It’s about standing up for those who can’t always stand up for themselves. Let’s get to work and vote for the leaders who demonstrate that kind of character. Vote for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz.
Holy shit! Barack Obama just reminded everyone why is is considered the preeminent orator of our generation. Obama is delivering a tour de force in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is annihilating Trump like I've never seen before. 🙌🙏👏👊🌊
It’s time for Labour to remember its roots and reinstate the right to peaceful protest.
