@angelaunspoken Ridiculous conspiracy nonsense. How many times did Elizabeth give an Easter message just once in 70 years yet somehow Charles doesn't and it's a betrayal.

Someone should tell King Charles III, title as "Defender of the Faith" means Protestant Christian not Shia Muslim. The King has just given the middle finger to his constitutional duty and bent over for Islam. He should be removed as King immediately.

@ksaraholland @TKratman Wrong. the United States alone funds about 62% of all of NATO. As far as Ukraine, the United States has given the single biggest National contribution. Since a pullback from the US in 2025, parts (certainly not all) have stepped up to aid Ukraine. Late to the party as per usual.

From Martin Iles, reposted: Having lived in the USA for nearly two years, I've realised something. The USA and the remainder of the Western world are no longer aligned. We all laugh and mock when the Americans say, "Freedom!" because we truly think we're as free as they are. Wrong. We're not. Not even close. The laws, the mindset, and the behaviour, is totally different in this regard. Most of all, the governments are totally different. The USA's convictions around core freedoms are on a scale we do not share. Meanwhile, Donald Trump wins the popular vote, the electoral college, the House, and the Senate... a man who, in every other Western country, is held in open derision, if not contempt. For these and other reasons, we are not the same. Yet the West, including Australia, fully expect to rely on the USA for our very survival. If the world turns bad (which will happen - only a question of time), then the whole West, without America, is toast. So, you may ask - if we're not very aligned ideologically, then it must be that we bring something to the party militarily? Well, no... actually... we don't matter that much militarily. The USA has about 470 ships in its navy, including 11 aircraft carriers, 69 submarines, 75 destroyers... plus 110 new ships in the pipeline. Australia has about 30, including 3 destroyers, 7 frigates and 7 outdated submarines. The UK does a little better, with about 60. Meanwhile, the US has over 14,000 military aircraft. A staggering number. Australia has 252 military aircraft. The UK has 556. The US army has just shy of 1,000,000 uniformed personnel in its military. Australia has about 45,000. The USA spends 3.4% ($968 billion) of its GDP on defence. Australia spends 2% ($36.4 billion). The US spends as much as the next 15 largest military-spending countries (including China) combined. The USA has a fighting culture. The men shoot things (a lot) and hunt things, the veterans get favoured in everything from parking spots to boarding planes. A uniformed young man is thanked in the street a dozen times a day. "Oh, the Americans and their guns!" we say, in our smug way. Yes, they have a warrior culture. We do not. We don't have to, because we're a leech on theirs. How many young British men are willing to fight for their country? Now ask the same regarding young American men. The difference is about as wide as it could be. Militarily, we don't offer squat. Meanwhile, look at the way Australia works against America's interests by loving on China. China made us rich and we stay close. This is a Marxist regime with expansionist aims. Again, you have to spend time in the USA to realise just how vast a gulf there is between us on China. Europe, too. They let China have their way everywhere from Germany to Greenland, all the while importing Islam and sending their own people to court for saying hurty words. Somehow, we have landed the deal of a lifetime with the USA that says, "when the baddies come, you'll save us ok?" Because we can't save ourselves. And we live in peace. But we keep gnawing away at freedoms, keep enabling China, and get flabby and disinterested about our military because Uncle Sam's got it. And, let's be honest, Americans are widely looked down on. To add insult to injury, we don't think that highly of our protectors. So, the USA is finally saying "enough." I am here, I can tell you what the vibe is, and that's it. Trump is doing what people want in this regard. They're over it. And we come across all shocked and hard done by. We behave like people with no self-insight at all. Yes, the global alliance system is all over the place now. From America's perspective, it's about time. And I must say, though I be a proud Australian, I am forced to agree. Something has to change.

@eliz_francisco @dom_lucre Except he didn't say that. Maybe you should spend less time in echo chambers. There's no established tradition of an Easter address by the monarch

You know after King Charles stated he's not going to acknowledge Easter and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, if you think that as Americans were overreacting to the islamification threat then you are not f****** paying attention. I think it's fair to say they have already fallen and every King and queen before him not to mention the Crusaders are rolling over in their grave. Absolutely despicable

@TheB_sKnees @Antunes1 Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction included victim statements accepted by the jury as credible. Virginia Giuffre has given multiple statements. Do you think the millions of pages collected contain nothing damning.

He’s 100% correct. You need evidence and you need a grand jury to indict and until you have those things nothing‘s gonna happen to anyone. People are so stupid. Not even any victim has got on TV and said and named a specific person that did something to her and then provide the evidence to prove it.

I get that this is an unpopular view but: We need more journalists & fewer pundits. We need more original reporting & fewer hot takes riffing off the news. We don't have this because reporting takes work and is difficult & pontificating on YouTube is lazy & easy.

@ssmethurst_gva @NormanLeedsPhD @GBNEWS I thought at first here's an intelligent contribution worth reading stating the problem and then you bang on about coal fired plants (we have none) and escalating a war as your solution. Glad you're not making decisions.

what this fuckwit does not understand is that EVEN if the straights opened today the oil 90,000 tonnes of jet fuel takes 1month to reach the UK from the middle east and we need 8 of them each month. the 1 cargo that is arriving this week will be consumed by Sunday. the uk needs to open lindsey and grangemouth today and the north sea fields by reducing tax to 10%. open coal fired plants to save gas use for winter. Starmer needs to wake the fuck up and fast. the Navy need to be sent to the ME this week latest to make sure vessels heading to the UK are protected. Frankly all of this is far too late. Milleband needs to be fired as does the defence secretary.

How he shows his face in public after that debacle is beyond …Isn’t that considered a disaster in the history of England? I cannot imagine a society that produced some of the greatest writers, poets and musicians… falling for a free speech imposter and charlatan like that.” Absolutely 💯
