_latent risk_ great phrase

@jmcsms This is not what war with russia looks like. Trust me on this.

@leashless You might want to tell Putin bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

1) we are not at war with Russia. 2) they are at war with Russia. 3) do we want to be at war with Russia? Like clarify the position here… why should we be flying foreign flags for wars we are not a party to?

@nickstew_art As far as they're concerned -- and they're probably right -- they're protecting the democratic mandate and the will of the people. Shame they got saddled with an Israeli-American funded shill like Tommy on top of their pile.

@nickstew_art of course it's "heavy and threatening" their country is collapsing and they believe that is because of an antidemocratic elite destroying the welfare state with illegal immigration **after** a national referendum on stopping immigration. reformparty.uk/the-cost-of-th… examine the costs.

Just more propaganda. The English march is not a hate march. Why exactly we seem to be unable to represent an English march properly… propaganda against the very people you’re meant to be representing mate. Ridiculous.

@yeehahboogie Accountability is hard.

@leashless If we had responsible governments this wouldnt be happening.

Weirdly I don’t think that is actually why these people are marching. Very strange to watch Zionists trying to hijack English nationalism — that kind of thing tends to spectacularly backfire. As the crisis escalates bought shills like Tommy will be replaced by actual racists.

@MeiYiXing1 Choosing to link the UK’s struggles with mass immigration directly to settler colonialism by Zionists is evil. There is no benefit to the UK from trying to link these struggles: that’s propaganda. x.com/recusant_raja/…

@leashless it's hard to comment on the paid shill or foreign control angle

1) he’s a paid shill for the Israelis observer.co.uk/news/national/… 2) inhabiting the skin of English nationalism while representing a USA and Israeli political agenda It’s a fake political movement controlled from abroad. I don’t think there is a real English nationalism anywhere.

Britain's protocolic system of governance now resembles a symphony, in terms of its complexity – one written by the most boring person you know. Will Self (@wself) goes further in explaining this situation, he says: "politics itself increasingly resembles a gigantic unresolved tort claim. Every interest group seeks recognition through procedural exceptionalism. Every grievance requires adjudication. Every identity demands managerial accommodation. The result is hypertrophic legalism and collapsing civic trust occurring simultaneously."

If you follow my work, you know the information I have published about Andy Burnham is precise and evidenced. You also know he threatened me and when I stood up to him, he ran away. Despite the national inquiry now being forced into existence, and Oldham named as the first and only town to be investigated, not one mainstream outlet has been prepared to interview me or put Burnham’s rape gang record to scrutiny. My latest cancellation by GB News today should surprise nobody. I know there are people inside that building who want me on. There are also people above them who do not. Something is keeping the truth about Andy Burnham and his role in the rape gang cover-up off the front pages. To any mainstream journalist reading this, name the time and place. I’m not the one that is hiding from the truth. Raja Miah MBE

Elon Musk on the left’s fundamental moral flaw: “The fundamental moral flaw of the left is empathy for the criminals and not empathy for the victims” They feel sorry for the criminals but show zero empathy for the actual victims There’s also been immense unconstitutional judicial overreach that was never intended and it’s destroying the public’s faith in the legal system This needs to stop Put the victims first. Restore real justice

This is the bravest intervention by a British political leader I can remember. It lays out in stark terms the central problem of the UK economy: we have substituted investment for entitlements. The solution is painful, but necessary. This thread will attempt to explain. 1/n

This is the best piece on Starmer you will read today, perhaps this year

In 800, the Roman Empire faced a challenge that was not simply military or diplomatic, but ideological: a form of geopolitical identity theft. When Pope Leo III crowned the Frankish King Charlemagne as “Emperor of the Romans,” he was not reviving a vacant western imperial office abolished long ago in 480, but inventing a rival claim to Roman universality, even though the Roman Empire still fully existed in Constantinople (Charlemagne was crowned as the one and only Roman Emperor). There had been earlier Roman usurpations and breakaway imperial regimes (the Gallic Empire under Postumus and Palmyra under Zenobia) but these emerged from within the Roman imperial world. The Frankish case was different: an external Kingdom, legitimized by the Papacy rather than by the Roman army, Senate, or Constantinopolitan court, claimed the name and dignity of an existing state and people. Constantinople’s refusal during the 812 peace talks to recognize Charlemagne as “Emperor of the Romans” captures the distinction. From the Roman perspective, this was not merely another usurpation; it was the creation of a competing faux Roman identity in the West - a revolutionary act whose consequences would shape medieval Europe for centuries. In long-term retrospect, the most damaging role was played by the Papacy, which had been the driving engine of the whole affair, setting the stage for the fracturing of Christianity into imperial and ersatz imperial camps over the next 250 years, a division that continues to persist to this day. Papal power to crown a Roman Emperor, and the idea of the Papacy as the source of imperial power, were completely invented in 800 and were without any precedent (it was later justified by the so-called Donation of Constantine or Donatio Constantini, a forged Roman imperial decree by which the 4th-century emperor Constantine the Great supposedly transferred authority over Rome and the western part of the Roman Empire to the Pope; composed in the 8th century shortly before the act of 800, it was used, especially in the 13th century, in support of claims of political authority by the Papacy - Lorenzo Valla, an Italian Catholic priest, exposed the forgery in 1439–1440). For the Roman imperial authorities in Constantinople, the papal coronation of Charlemagne as the Roman Emperor in 800 was a deeply unsettling act of betrayal, since the Christian Church had effectively become a department of state in 380 through the Edict of Thessalonica (Cunctos populos), and the Popes themselves were, in essence, imperial officials. Needless to say, this whole setup and the Church rift that followed it also created the conditions that would lead to the Crusader sack of Constantinople in 1204, an event that many historians consider the real fall of the Roman Empire, since the state and society never fully recovered from it, making them far easier prey for the final Ottoman conquest. Nonetheless, the events of 800 have another meaning and importance: they are the actual birth of the modern West as we know it. The Pope’s crowning of Charlemagne in 800 as the Roman Emperor is actually the point of divergence from all things Roman - in retrospect, the exact opposite of what it was proclaimed to be: a moment when Western Europe and Roman history parted ways and were set on very different paths. The Roman Empire continued to exist for centuries to come, ruled from Constantinople, but not as a historical part of the West as we understand it (which is also the ultimate reason why we mislabel it with an invented name, too). Historiographically and ideologically, we are still unable to give the medieval Roman Empire its due, despite the fact that academia is essentially free of the constraints of the past. Illustration: Napoleon before the Throne of Charlemagne (Henri-Paul Motte, 1898).

For 20 years, a $6 knob that takes one hour to 3D print has been grounding Black Hawk helicopters four times a month, and the contractor responsible won't sell us the part or the IP rights to fix it ourselves. So instead, American taxpayers have been paying $40,000 every single time to replace the entire system, multiplied by four times a month, for two decades. That is NOT a procurement problem, that is a shakedown, and it is exactly why right to repair has to be in this year's NDAA.
