It’s that “fabulous” time of the year again. But isn’t it always?

‘Is Pride season over yet? Does it in fact ever end nowadays? Like the ever extending and complicating rainbow flags and acronyms it is, by definition, never finished. There is always more ‘work’ to be done. Some hitherto undiscovered shame to be extirpated. Some ‘awareness’ to be ‘raised’. Some invisibility to be visibled. Some neglected letters to be added and incanted. And even more uplifting and inspiring corporate messaging to be communicated.’

No good advice ever has started - or will ever start - with “listen to Jess Phillips”.

😡 ZELENSKY DEMANDE AUX PENSIONNÉS EUROPÉENS DE PAYER 4 € PAR MOIS À LA FONDATION DE SA FEMME… POUR « DÉFENDRE LES VALEURS EUROPÉENNES » ! LE VOL ORGANISÉ 🔥

C’est officiel : Zelensky a proposé à Ursula von der Leyen un mécanisme incroyable.
124 millions de pensionnés européens devraient verser 4 € par mois (soit 48 € par an) à la fondation de sa femme, Olena Zelenska, « pour défendre les valeurs européennes ».

Traduction :Pendant que l’Ukraine reçoit des milliards d’euros d’aide militaire et financière, que des familles ukrainiennes fuient ou meurent, et que l’Europe s’appauvrit…

Zelensky ose demander aux retraités européens qui galèrent déjà avec l’inflation et les factures d’énergie de financer la fondation personnelle de sa femme.

Assez de ce mendiant en costard qui nous prend pour des vaches à lait !

Il est temps d’arrêter de financer ce régime corrompu et de chercher enfin la paix, plutôt que de saigner nos retraités pour enrichir des fondations douteuses.

Keir Starmer, wants us all to digitally verify ourselves to post anything on social media. So the government can check what we say and who we say it to.

Also Keir Starmer, uses disposable message on whatsapp so he can avoid scrutiny.

Spot anything?

Diese vier Herren behaupten, sie würden demokratische Werte vertreten und sie gegen das angablich autokratische Russland verteidigen. Das Problem dabei ist, dass westliche Gesellschaften in zwischen so Gehirn gewaschen sind, dass diese absurde Argumentation geglaubt wird.

🚨🇮🇱 Thomas Massie CONFIRMS Israel used NAPALM on the USS Liberty.

34 Americans were burned alive, skin boiling from their bodies, after the IDF dropped Napalm on the unarmed ship.

He confirmed this yesterday in the U.S. Congress.

The replies strongly indicate that this isn't going down with the British public the way MSM intended. It's Z not Reform getting roasted.

🚨 NEW: Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the decision of some Reform UK councils to take down the Ukrainian flag is the kind of "small mistake that can break a big friendship"

"I hope they will put it back"

@rory_yeomans A reminder of how rotten Labour was long before Starmer.

Robertson was defence minister TWENTY SEVEN years ago. He works for the arms business.
The BBC doesn't mention this because they are war whores too.

"The UK is at risk of attack from Russia"

@nicholaswatt reports on a warning from former Labour Defence Secretary Lord Robertson that Vladimir Putin could strike the UK with conventional ballistic or cruise missiles or, more likely, a "sub threshold" attack.

This is what the UK spyware proposal means.

There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.

When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).

The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.

Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.

Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.

The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.

The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.

Something has the Ukrainians spooked - spooked enough that they're now just randomly attacking whatever civilian targets they can reach in a thrashing fury rather than trying to hit anything of military value.

In fact Russian losses are way down even per pro-Ukrainian sources.

A Ukrainian drone attacked a civilian vehicle on the #Donetsk ring road.

You can tell it's a Ukrainian drone by the Starlink terminal installed on it.

A shout-out to adorable @elonmusk ! This is his personal involvement in terrorizing civilians.

These clowns represent a far greater threat to Europe than Russia ever could.

And... Zelensky was not allowed to wear "Zelewalkers" for a photo in London

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was not allowed to wear high-heeled shoes for a group photo with the leaders of the UK, France, and Germany, journalists have learned.

According to the Financial Times, Zelensky was forced to remove his usual shoes for a joint photo in London in order to respect the visual hierarchy of the negotiators. According to journalists, after this, the Ukrainian president threw a real tantrum and agreed to the photo session only after much persuasion.

"President Zelensky's sensitive attitude towards his image in photos with European leaders has long been known, but such a violent reaction is surprising," the publication notes.

HOLY SHIT 🇩🇪🚨

A woman in Germany says “Free Palestine.” Police swarm, cover her mouth, drag her down like a beast.

That slogan is now banned in Germany because it’s considered antisemitic.

If you say it, the state silences you by force.
