It's been 9 horrible months and I find myself looking back on those "eating the cats and dogs" days with nostalgia.

I saw a facebook post that rightly pointed out

had the shooter targeted the students listing to Kirk
rather than the speaker
the news cycle would have ignored the whole event within a day

Totally agree.

They would be mad to settle but no one seems to be prepared to take him on at all.

PRH are 100% owned by Bertelsmann - behemoth German media empire (who have an interesting WW2 history - like many of the current EU billionaire families) Maybe they will have more guts.

If they were to force him to discovery, it could have a huge chance of bringing down his regime.

Technically nothing to do with 🍊🌮...

David Davis has just let rip about Mandy in the HoC.
It's very interesting to see how few Labour MPs could give a shit and turn up - ya'know, do their job...

Also, Queen Camilla has pulled out of the funeral of the Duchess of Kent due to acute sinusitis. I hope she recovers in a timely manner on Thursday afternoon. 💐

Interested in this thread?

I hope she recovers, because it is horrible, but maybe not until Saturday afternoon just so she can be absolutely sure the coast is clear.

Hmm, too late to add to my previous post with "after Air Force 1 has dragged the friend of Epstein back across the Atlantic, back to Gilead."

Oh, I like "friend of Epstein" as the way to refer to that creature. Maybe it could go in the header for the next thread!

I'd buy Trump loo roll...

CaveMum · 16/09/2025 14:12

I'm guessing that AF1 is landing at RAF Northolt for the official drop off, which means I don't have to stand outside shaking my fist at the sky as it flies overhead to land at RAF Mildenhall! I think they usually park it up there for the duration of a presidential visit so if I see it coming on Flight Radar I may sneak out to yell "A pox on your houses" as it passes by 😜

Spandauer · 16/09/2025 14:17

Watch out for any spy drones @CaveMum! Wouldn't want Freeze Peach to get you...

A quick bit of searching says AF1 may be landing at Stansted then Trump will be choppered down to Windsor. There's a whole bunch of kit at Northolt ready for the visit including several Chinooks which usually escort the presidential chopper.

Apparently AF1 is persona non grata at Heathrow as the Secret Service demand that all runways are shut for a period of time before and after landing.

JoshLymanSwagger · 16/09/2025 14:33

@CaveMum If the big 🍊🌮 friend of Epstein does fly over you, please flick him the finger from me.
If I have the misfortune (I'm way north of you, but DC flights to Heathrow do pass over at quite a high altitude) to know he's flying over me, I'll give him an extra one from you. x

Lest we forget.

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin?

TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

Lying Friend of Epstein.

Trump at first says he is ‘not familiar’ with Minnesota Democrat’s assassination

President says he would have ordered half-staff flags for Melissa Hortman if Tim Walz had asked him to do so

Short thread:

Suspect the NYT lawsuit is very different to those brought against TV news networks. The NYT isn't part of a much larger corporate group, and it interacts much less with federal regulators. Their incentives to fight are much stronger (and it's such a flimsy lawsuit).

As he was about to board his plane to England the repulsive orange Friend of Epstein referred to our monarch as "Charles" as if he were such a close friend of the Royals he didn't need to show proper respect. He really is a blot.

Wallaw1 · 16/09/2025 16:49

I've watched a few snippets of the Kash Patel hearing. He's such a disrespectful little toad, he makes my teeth itch with fury.

LlttledrummergirI · 16/09/2025 16:52

I really hope those in charge of protocol come down hard on the friend of Epstein and make him observe his place in the hierarchy.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 16/09/2025 16:54

He, after all, insists on "Sir". He'll probably try to insist King Charles should call him "Sir".

So the successor company to Penguin Books?

The company which defended itself in the David Irving vs Penguin libel case?

Which destroyed Irving's career by demonstrating that yes, he really was a Holocaust denier.

Oh and by the way some people I spoke to afterwards, who'd only seen the headline and DI whining afterwards, swallowed DI's story that this was his free speech being impinged on...

When the opposite was true!

He had sued Penguin! He had tried to impinge on author Deborah Lipstadt's free speech.

Doubtless Trump will also try to have his cake and eat it.
