Which is better for the EU than the much higher tariffs their exports would otherwise have faced.Good morningThere are also at least 3 separate videos of him cheating on the same roundTrump cheatsIt is hilarious how many Trumpites underneath are claiming 'oh, it's a practice round,' 'oh, it was a legal drop in a relief zone,' 'most people do that sort of thing,' 'you know nothing about golf.'

This is the story of his life, right here.

For a guy who spends so much of his time on a golf course, you might have imagined he actually liked to play the game, but no...
They really would excuse him if he were caught buggering a goat, wouldn't they?
(Mind you, the most disgusting thing about that video is he's using a buggy at Turnberry, which is flatter than a snooker table.)
His golf swing is farcical, he could not do a round of golf without a buggy, and as for his handicap who knows
He is only deceiving himself and quite frankly it's just a circus of stupidity
Mind you, he seems to have charmed UVL in welcoming 15% tariffs plus billions of dollars worth of US energy and armaments from him thereby making Europe dependent on Trump's US for energy and defence security
The fact they may take in a few more US energy and arms imports doesn't necessarily make them dependent either

With respect, Anne, you did keep a questionably honest cold-caller talking.I mean Reddit asked me to verify my age the other day when I asked the internet how to do something fairly straightforward and most certainly non p*rn-related. What on earth is going on.I had a cold-caller the other day, pretending he was calling from the firm that insures my appliances (he wasn't). After running through the offers of reductions on insuring 'my' various appliances (some of which I don't have), he said he needed to ask some questions to protect others. The first question was, Had I been diagnosed with dementia or alzheimer's? At which I laughed & said goodbye.
A bit of a puzzle, though.

The NHS Fife case is in theory about transwomen using the women's changing room but from the Tribunal its actually about holding the 'wrong' view and being punished for it. The monstrous regiment of women at NHS Fife who set out to persecute Sandie Peggie did so, not because she was a bad nurse, not because she had harmed a patient or acted in a way that might have done so, they did it because she believes, as I do, that men CANNOT become women. And that view is heresy to some.Ah, we're back to the old chestnut of the freedom to offend versus freedom from offence. It's a tricky one - those who enjoy dishing it out in the name of their truth get very irate when their right to dish it out is challenged by those who would prefer not to have to listen to someone else's version of the truth yet can't express their version.On topic - surely no one is surprised that such a law would have these consequences.I wasn’t surprised.
A couple of posters here were saying that it would only affect bad people.
The real fun will come with the convenience of this. The police love an online crime - great for the stats. Long before “arrested for tweeting while setting fire to immigrants”, we had the crime of “posting nasty things about Chardonnay”.
The next stage will be going after people for wrong think - there are plenty of opinions that’s are offensive to some people and whose truth is questionable.
The following stage is options that are offensive - and their truth is an offence. “Your truth contradicts my religion.”
After that we move to “it’s offensive to say that the chocolate ration increased from 20 grams to 15 grams. It actually increased to 14 grams.”
I can hear people saying that Starmer & Co. won’t do that. But look at the polls. And who might come next.
Just imagine Trump and his pals on the Supreme Court with this stuff to play with.
My issue with where we are isn't about freedom of speech but fairness of speech - there are too many voices which don't get heard or, more accurately, a small group dominates the debate with repetitive argument from their truth.
Is that small group in any way representative of opinion as a whole? No, it's certainly not the case here for example.
It has always been the case money and time buy you a voice or voices - it's been the case in the printed media for decades and it's probably true in the online world as well.
And that is the greatest danger of all in the Online Safety Bill. Who sets what can be said? We see it on PB already - the chill hand of free speech suppressed (for totally understandable reasons).

On-topic question: When somebody says they "have to" do something because of the OSA how do we know this is not due to them taking an erroneous or absurdly risk-averse approach to it? Esp if they are an avowed opponent of the legislation.(This is also the case with anti money laundering regulations. It's easier to force a stupid decision rather than allow junior staff to use their judgement.)

TBH, I wouldn't have though the Tories would object to that either!I mean Reddit asked me to verify my age the other day when I asked the internet how to do something fairly straightforward and most certainly non p*rn-related. What on earth is going on.Were you searching for Farage? I assume that would be a top target for a Labour government to restrict searches about at the moment
Morning all!

I was not. It was notably innocuous.

Suicide attempt, allegedly.They can still go to Turkey, Ramzan Kadyrov apparently nearly drowned there recently.Don't they like Dubai then. Plane loads of them.I wondered what the point of the new N Korean tourist resort was.Flights are once a month - I really wouldn't want to commit to 1 month in North Korea...

The FT is full of Europeans wailing that Trump outfoxed them and then steam rollered them. Amazing what this low-IQ golf cheater manages to do. He’s like the Chauncey Gardner of politicsHas Europe committed to doing anything they weren't already going to do ?Good morningThere are also at least 3 separate videos of him cheating on the same roundTrump cheatsIt is hilarious how many Trumpites underneath are claiming 'oh, it's a practice round,' 'oh, it was a legal drop in a relief zone,' 'most people do that sort of thing,' 'you know nothing about golf.'
