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

Give what a rest?

WTF is going through Starmer’s head as DHT rambles on about Biden, Ukraine, Charlie Kirk, etc? I couldn’t stand up there like that. I think I’d sit down while Trump rambled, to not be associated with it at a shared podium.

Two threads in Site stuff already filling up with PP complaining about the colour changes

Interested in this thread?

Just out of interest, were any other visually impaired users as intimately involved in the colour changes as me ?

I was being very sarcastic. As above, so below, and MNHQ just ploughed ahead with "the plan" with nary a care for the disabled.

Now you know what we face.

I noticed he resorted to the age old “look at your papers and give them a shuffle” technique of not reacting when someone says something stupid in a meeting.

I too have been known to deploy this tactic.

Yes, and in an ordinary meeting you don't have the awful knowledge that any facial expression you accidentally display may flash round the world on social media with adverse interpretation, and haunt you for weeks and months or even forever.

It's all a little like being at the court of Henry VIII

Or maybe that of Stalin.

Dictators through the ages.

I think Starmer handled that press conference well. Long shower required now.

Interesting. I was pondering in the role of the King's Fool earlier today.

DuncinToffee · 18/09/2025 17:45

And they are nearly gone ✈

Serpentstooth · 18/09/2025 17:48

👋 Bigly and court. Don't rush back.

stoow · 18/09/2025 18:07

Don’t come back.

YankTank · 18/09/2025 18:26

I really hope I’m not being too cynical here, but we’ve rolled out the red carpet and made some “agreements”—how long ‘til DJT does a 180? He never keeps his promises. It’ll be a cringe moment for Starmer & The Windsors.

I see that Erika Kirk has been made CEO of Turning Point USA.

Talkinpeace · 18/09/2025 18:52

I saw bits of the Anti Trump protest yesterday.
It seemed very cheery and covered every possible cause
but achieved exactly nothing
as neither Trump nor Starmer nor the Royals were anywhere near
and
there HAVE to be better uses for 1600 police officers
than manning traffic cones to close roads and liaise with the two circling helicopters.

I wonder how many phones and cars were stolen while the police were "controlling" the protest.

YankTank · 18/09/2025 18:54

This is her Serena Joy moment. But how can a woman be a CEO when her intellect is inferior to a man’s? How will she balance being an executive with fulfilling her trad wife duties at home? 🧐

DuncinToffee · 18/09/2025 19:08

Is this one of her ideas?

Military leaders consider recruiting campaign centered around Charlie Kirk
Possible slogans discussed include “Charlie has awakened a generation of warriors.” There is talk of using Turning Point USA chapters as recruitment centers.

placemats · 18/09/2025 19:37

I won't be signing up to Disney+

Was considering it. No. USA is a dictatorship now.

placemats · 18/09/2025 19:42

If a ruling Government decides in a Republic with a written Constitution with the 1st Amendment in place decides to override that, it's a fascist state. A dictatorship.

Trump said last night at the banquet he hoped it would be the last. Whatever did he mean?

logicisall · 18/09/2025 20:00

@YankTank , those were my thoughts exactly as Charlie felt that a woman's role was in the home. Now, however, we are being told that this was what Charlie wanted. So which is it? Do as I say, not as I do/one rule for me, another for thee. #Hypocrites.

He's busy on AF1

Trump floats pulling licenses if networks are ‘against’ him after Jimmy Kimmel suspended

PerkingFaintly · 18/09/2025 20:30

Have they gone? Thank god for that.

I'm always terrified something will go pear-shaped while he's here, and we'll catch the fall out. He can go back to being the US's problem. (Sorry, @YankTank et al .)
