President Trump compared Keir Starmer's UK to Communist China after the Government ordered Apple to give it backdoor access to users' encrypted data. This isn't far-fetched, says Frederick Attenborough: it exposes us all.

If European states don't want to be treated as enemies of the US they're going to have to retreat from the war they've been waging on behalf of Washington's old regime and disarm their censorship machines, says N S Lyons.

A Diplomatic Dust-Up for the Ages Wed Mar 05, 2025 09:00 | Ramesh Thakur
Trump's art of the deal always has been to ask for everything, judge the point at which the other party has made his final offer and then take what he can get, says Ramesh Thakur. That's what he's doing with Ukraine.

trad. when the more excitable Latin Gaulic types love a general strike and bit of passion.
Talk to your french friends. it could be a lovely long weekend. if we can get the crew of the Charles de Gaulle nuclear aircraft carrier to mutiny whilst moored broadside to the Washington nuclear aircraft carrier, the whole Bush thing might just end for D Day.
krondstad.
:-)
June 6 2004 we shall mark the 60º anniversary of the Allied landing in Normandie.
I thought I'd leave you some links.
so you can brush up your french, learn a little bit of history, reflect on one of those days which truly were watersheds in our flow of historical culture.
And therein you will find loads of inspiration for your conversations, interplay of witicisms and if you do it right put the wind up "you know them- our cousins and favourite bad guys" @ the moment.
First a *caveat* I read in an email a qoute from Rummy recently, complaining about how the presence of the digitial camera crew is changing the conduct of post War care.
It's true as well. But I have to say, that reading today's Amnesty International Report, it is striking that the really bad places don't have the digital camera crew.
So. Thankyou Americans and Canadians and all the rest for doing the delta day, and so on. A lot of people died that day. Much more than we get upset about now. And an awful lot had to die before that day happened.
Hopefully the bravery, courage and spirit that loads of people will tap into in marking the memory of that day, and the days before and after, will somehow "help us all" move quickly to happier places where a digital camera is available and we all have computers and telephone lines and only certain countries keep nuclear aircraft carriers and they go on having familiar sort of trustworthy names that we associated with "Total bastard really but icon good guy i suppose conceding the point and putting aside the millenia of exploitation and you know what I mean"
What is important I suppose is that none of these people had beards.

There will be loads of people in normandie.
Mr Bush will go to the elysee before hand to be (permit us creative license) scorned upon by Mr Chirac.
There will be no eyelids fluttering and not a single kissie exchanged. But thier tiff can be, perhaps like @ this stage, had better
be spun -
"I will sell my wheel/my only spinning wheel/2 buy my love mo stóir/..."
be told -
as Good Guys - the Nasty Cop & the Nice Cop.
Let me take you through it:-
Amnesty International Report + "google"
I think loads of people in the great world out there where the cyber solidarity borders need to live without fear of either Nasty Cop or Nice Cop. But in some places there has been an overload of "Nasty Cop".
We mostly talk about Nasty Cop USA.
or Nasty Cop Israel. Let's move to "no Cop" by letting "nice Cop" do the next stint.
Let June 6 move to June 30th.
más é do thoil é.
Bertie I have given you a task.
When the whole bunch go to the beaches, out there moored broadside will be the Aircraft Carriers General Charles De Gaulle
and General Washington.
They are both capable of taking out your country. Just like USS La Salle could do your city. You've been talking about it. Except niether CDG or GW would have to flick an eyelid.
weird eh?
