I don’t smoke. Never have. I have no skin in the game. But this really is draconian. It should not be within the power of the government to interfere with the personal choices of citizens like this.

Well, guess I'm not going anywhere just yet!
President Trump and Pakistani sources today told me good news about a fresh round of talks between the US and Iran is "possible" as soon as Friday.

@DanDeFiEd The Americans appear to enjoy “cinema”.
It’s basically the same across the entire hospitality sector.
Ordering a steak for example is never straightforward. The cut, the cooking, the sauces, etc. Salads, a 100 different variations with 100 variations of dressing. And on it goes.

Italian efficiency when it comes to coffee should be studied.
In Italy:
- Walk into a bar and look at the guy
- Un caffe
- 30 seconds later it’s ready
- Shoot it
- Leave €1
- Walk out
In the US:
- Join a line
- Wait
- Order coffee
- Answer 12 questions: Size? Milk? Roast? Sugar? Temperature? Colombia beans? Name? How do you spell it?
- $12.34
- Ask for a 20% tip. Click 5 times on a ipad to have a custom tip
- Tap phone
- ask where to send the invoice
- Wait again on a different line
- Someone call a name that sounds similar to mine
- get the coffee
- too hot, can't drink it
- finally at temperature
taste like shit

@SBarrettBar Prime Ministers are not elected by the British People.
It’s the same claim that was made by supporters of Mr Johnson when he was forced to eventually resign, that he was elected by the British People.
He was not.

@CamillaTominey Apart from the recent Waitrose example, how rampant is this trend?
Please provide statistics to support your headline.
Many thanks.

@RetroCoast ‘60’s - the late ‘80’s/early ‘90’s, great decades. And then a slow downward spiral begins, and how that spiral accelerates as we enter the late 2020’s.
But there’s always a bright side… memories!

@nfergus Your guess/interpretation of what may happen next is, with respect, as “predictable” as anyone else’s.
But an interesting read…

Let me walk you through the events of the war so far:
1. The United States and Israel tried regime change; it didn’t work. Or rather, they got regime change—Iran became an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps–led military dictatorship. That was not an improvement.
2. The U.S. won an overwhelming military victory with air and naval power and scarcely a boot on the ground. But it destroyed less of Iran’s missile- and drone-launching capabilities than at first appeared.
3. Then there was a hostage crisis. Iran took both the Gulfies and the Strait of Hormuz hostage. The result was a massive economic shock for the world that required a rapid resolution.
4. The choice was between 1) military escalation (boots on the ground or strikes on Iranian infrastructure), and 2) a diplomatic deal. Trump chose 2.
5. In Islamabad, the U.S proposed big economic concessions in return for some kind of change in the status of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, as well as the reopening of the strait. Contrary to the president’s social media feed, the Iranians did not accept.
6. In any case, the devil of any deal will be in the details, not the Truth headline. (When the small print finally comes out, every former Obama and Biden official will be ready to tell The New York Times that it’s worse than the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.)
7. Meanwhile, the Iranians have survived regime change and discovered that closing the strait is just as powerful a lever in economic warfare as they had always hoped. It’s not, despite the Russian quip, an “economic nuke,” because unlike a nuclear weapon you can use it.
8. Where we go from here is fairly predictable. I would be surprised if Trump now deploys ground forces. There will be more negotiation, so Islamabad, here we come. There may have to be more bombing, if the Iranians dust down the North Vietnamese playbook of stringing the U.S. negotiators along. And the final compromise will take longer to be agreed upon than Mr. Market currently believes. The consensus in prediction markets is this will be over by the end of May, but remember: It took Henry Kissinger more than four months to get the 1973–1974 oil embargo lifted.

@VinylAudiophile @MaryLTrump I must confess to not understanding a word of what you have just posted.
English

Libtards love to leave the facts & truth out of their false narratives. That part of what causes TDS. That's how they manipulate their libtard minions. Once people finally figure out the being lied to, they don't vote for democrats anymore. It's what cause a condition called cognitive dissonance, libtards suffer from it. It's where you ignore the effects of truth & facts because it interferes with your false narratives you want to believe.

@JackWDart All that giving this much importance to what Mr Farage may have said only succeeds in giving him even greater national importance, something he craves, given that he is simply the Leader of a party with 8 MPs. @Nigel_Farage
English

Farage backed Mandelson’s appointment, called him a “very intelligent man” and an “enormously talented bloke,” and even offered to work with him on a Trump trade deal. The moment it backfired, he changed his tune and said Starmer should resign. He is a charlatan, and like everything else, he is using it to gain a political advantage.

@VinylAudiophile @MaryLTrump I would suggest that Trump’s niece would have known about that convenient waiver?
English

@MaryLTrump 


Duh... he had a medical waver dork.
Donald Trump received a medical exemption (often referred to as a medical deferment or waiver) from the Vietnam War draft in 1968 due to bone spurs in his heels.

@SinaiElec @YourAnonOne In the “bullshit” stakes, Trump’s a clear winner.

@YourAnonOne it is BBC than it is Bullshit,

@YourAnonOne Trump will now presumably sue the BBC for this slur?

@nexta_tv So, DJT sorted out problems that Apple had, ended 8/9 wars, destroyed a 2500+ year old civilisation (Persia/Iran), liberated Venezuela and about to liberate Cuba, now controls the Strait of Hormuz, what have I missed?
