@spikedonline @SpeechUnion Nothing liberal about the lefties.

Keir Starmer was an authoritarian posing as a liberal. He waged war on trial by jury. He wanted to crush criticism of Islam. He tried to police our fury over Henry Nowak. He had a deep distrust of the public. Thank God he’s gone, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/RFJqRhU

@cristo_radio @brexitblog_info What a shower

Insufferable, over promoted, out of touch, self indulgent narcissists, the lot of them.

Hodges: Momentum has shifted in favor of Ukraine. Absolutely. After 12 years of war with Russia starting with every advantage, look where they are now. Ukraine figured out the path to victory: destroy Russia's oil and gas infrastructure. Without export revenue, the war stops. 1/

Saw an interesting video about why people are so annoyed by this genre of facial expression. Speaking for myself I think of it as Appeal To Consensus Face, an attempt to triumph via social proof and fashionable opinion rather than via argument and debate.

Alexander Browder, a 17-year-old London teenager, has become Russia's youngest ever sanctions target. He has built a database exposing the crypto networks helping Russia and other rogue states dodge Western sanctions. In March, @Alexbrowder_ published a report for the Henry Jackson Society think tank, describing money-laundering mechanisms involving cryptocurrencies and estimating the scale of such operations by Russia, Iran, and North Korea at around $350 billion. ▪️ Cryptocurrency as a sanctions-evasion tool A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency whose value is pegged to a stable asset. This may be a currency, such as the ruble. This avoids the sharp price fluctuations typical of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, making the token convenient for payments and transfers. According to Alexander Browder, this stability made the A7A5 stablecoin a useful instrument for sanctions evasion. The ruble-pegged token allowed payments to be conducted outside the banking system, which has been blocked for Russia by Western sanctions. Alexander described A7A5 as one of the West's biggest challenges in the fight against money laundering. According to the British Foreign Office, more than $90 billion passed through the stablecoin network linked to the token in the past year alone. That figure is comparable to roughly half of Russia's annual military spending. In late May, London imposed sanctions on 18 platforms in several countries, accusing them of creating shadow financial systems to circumvent restrictions. ▪️ Russia's response On June 2, the Russian foreign ministry added Browder and four other British citizens to its sanctions list. They were accused of "slander and spreading false information." The teenager was banned from entering Russia. Browder himself took the move calmly. According to him, the sanctions have become a badge of honor and proof that his investigation has "touched a nerve." By the way, Alexander is the son of financier and human rights advocate William Browder @Billbrowder, CEO and co-founder of Hermitage Capital. His lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, died in a Russian prison in 2009 after exposing a major tax fraud scheme. Browder Sr. is an outspoken critic of Putin and the initiator of the Magnitsky Act. According to Alexander, it was his father's story that inspired him to pursue investigations. He believes that today's schemes for financing war through cryptocurrencies require a new, younger generation of analysts. 📹: DW

I think this hashtag needs to be trending tonight, don’t you? #GeneralElectionNow

A liability of over £200 billion avoided thanks to Brexit. Happy 10th anniversary.

@SBarrettBar Like a petulant child

This oath is invalid.

Who's your favorite among the six UK Prime Ministers? A. David Cameron B. Theresa May C. Boris Johnson D. Liz Truss E. Rishi Sunak F. Keir Starmer

Hyperinflation is coming for Russia.

@TrentTelenko So trump has leaked a briefing he got from the British government then?

Well, now I believe Starmer is gone.

Doesn’t look like the Iranians are worried about spending eternity with their 70 virgins in heaven. Difficult to negotiate with that.

@Danjsalt @OldRoberts953 Only emotion was crying at his own misfortune. Good riddance.

@OldRoberts953 Yep Nothing there - sorry - good riddance

Normally I feel a twinge of humanity at this point. Not this time. Awful, awful man.

"Liberals try to show their concern for the poor by raising the level of minimum wage laws. Yet they show no interest in hard evidence that minimum wage laws create disastrous levels of unemployment among young blacks in this country." — Thomas Sowell

Will face, there’s no “may” about it.⬇️

It was when Keir Starmer claimed never to have had a dream that I knew we were dealing with potentially one of the funniest prime ministers the nation had ever seen. Sure, some people would have been amused by the magnetism for calamity exhibited by Theresa May, the almost comedically unbelievable mendacity of Boris Johnson or the downright absurdism of Liz Truss. However, a really funny prime minister is the one who demands to be taken seriously, and particularly one who is convinced that he has forced the British people to do so. ✍️ Madeline Grant Article | spectator.com/article/the-tr…

Looks weak as hell if he doesn’t do it then…

That's the third/fourth PM who Farage can claim to have finished off. Cameron (referendum), May (Euros), Sunak (much more debatable) and now Starmer (locals).
