'Good chance' of UK-US trade deal with Trump administration, says JD Vance - UK politics live

I agree, but the west is blind, and hides behind self defense as a reason for this happening, people are too scared to question this, due to fear of being accused of antisemitism.
As with other discussions on here, we can conclude that facists use fear as a means of control.
We can discuss here, as we are intelligent, able to talk and have rational conversations and discussions, we ask the hard questions, and see both sides of the argument or debate, and change our views accordingly.
Facebook et al would have stopped the conversation at the first post.
Great point there,

Bothers me a bit too.
If you always use the word murdered, you can't use it when Israel does something "really bad" (i find "died" even worse when I read that).
When the IDF executes rescue workers by firing squad and then buries their bodies, for example, you need the word “murdered” to make the crime seem special, because even for the IDF this is more extreme than its otherwise cowardly bombings of women and children while they sleep in schools.
It is any wonder, the labour government have just rescued the scunthorpe blast furnace, and are now trying to get coal to fuel it, according to one article there is coal < 50 miles away and yet some how we can't get that coal from where it is to the furnace to keep it going.
This is 2025, back in world war 2, we had to get allied soldiers out of Dunkirk, so we mobiled a fleet of small boats to help.
Could we not mobilise a fleet of vehicles to move this coal?
In another demonstration of how useless this country is, we allowed the brother ofthe manchester bomber, access to a kitcen and materials to not only throw hot oil on prison guards but also fashion knives to stab them.
People are sick and tired of incompetence and excuses. They look to reform as they are (like trump) offering solutions.

Trump v Harvard is a fight over fascism https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04/15/trump-v-harvard-is-a-fight-over-fascism/ Trump is demanding control of US universities. Fascists always want that. Harvard has said it will not comply. This is a fight over fascism that Harvard has to win.

Have you read this?
'Trump blames Zelensky for starting war after massive Russian attack
Trump is delusional.
When can we start to use the word murdered rather than just killed in all reports.
The IDF are constantly claiming that the target had Hamas operatives but does not seem to provide evidence, Rules of engagement are clear about avoiding civilian casualties too.

At least five more Palestinians on Tuesday morning were killed as a result of the Israeli strikes targeting displaced people's tents in areas across the war-devastated Gaza Strip.
According to the Palestinian state news agency Wafa, three of the civilians were killed and several others injured in an Israeli strike on a tent for the displaced in the Al-Mawasi area in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Why is this not surprising?
I agree, it just seems like it is a marketing scam to sell you new services, phones or devices.
Machine learning can help us with Science, which is where most of it should be perhaps used, as foor helping the lazy or incompetent to write an e-mail for them, then we really do need to question that.

@GreenSkyOverMe ... worse still. We squander immense amounts of computing power achieving little or no more than we could have achieved 30 years ago.
Now we're fetishising AI because it can make this drudgery a little less, all at the cost of massive amounts more energy, computing power and natural resources, for a marginal gain in real terms.
I'm stating a sincere feeling that It would be better for our sanity, economy and planet if we stopped and simplified.

"Calling this a constitutional crisis undersells the catastrophic implications of the emergency. This administration is rapidly constructing a legal framework that would allow it to abruptly disappear anyone, including natural-born U.S. citizens, to a foreign prison forever, for any reason it chooses, or no reason at all."
