I say 'CAR ma la' but I've really no idea.
A Scottish Conservative leadership candidate has been warned by police of threats against his life, but insists it will not deter his intentions to run for party leader.
Russell Findlay, a former journalist who exposed organised crime in Scotland, has been warned by police that he is in danger from a known criminal associate of a hired hitman who was jailed for attacking him nine years ago.
William Burns, who threw acid in Findlay’s face as he answered his door at his Glasgow home in 2015, was imprisoned for ten years but is due a parole hearing this week in which he may gain early release.
The new threat came shortly before Findlay, 51, declared he was running to replace Douglas Ross as the Conservative leader at the Scottish parliament. He was informed by detectives that they had intelligence that he may be targeted.
The MSP for West Scotland said that the prisoner may regard him as “unfinished business” but the threat would not derail his leadership bid. Referring to the previous attack, he said: “Of course this has changed aspects of my life but that’s been the case for many years now.

1) I don't need a socket puppet account to troll PBers
2) And even more importantly I would never denigrate the Ukrainians, they have to win. Cucks like Farage will sell them out, I never will.
Male pronoun assumed from the troll’s name.
So a week ago there was "Instant Kamala" for Trump and Vance.
Perhaps this may be helpful?
Here's How To Properly Pronounce Kamala Harris

Was helpful to me, as I've been saying "Kam-AL-ah" instead of "Kah-mah-lah".
Reckon the VP is pretty laid back about it; call me whatever EXCEPT late for breakfast!

Oh well...
NOT all. IMHO Cyclefree and some others on PB expressing legitimate concerns re: jails and (to a degree) sports.
BUT the political motivation behind much of anti-trans is clearly warmed-over anti-gay crap, in environment where, in USA, western Europe and the like, overt homophobia is a turnoff even for most social and religious conservatives.
First in a series.
In recent years I have been more and more struck by the stories that our “mainstream” news organizations cover — and those that they don’t cover. And I have seen many examples at our local monopoly newspaper, the Seattle Times.
This example, in my opinion, could be a deliberate, long-running parody, but I don’t think it is — intentionally.
What, in your opinion, is the most important event in World War II? Different people will give different answers to that question, especially if they come from different nations. (In “Pacific Crucible”, Ian Toll argues that it is the attack on Pearl Harbor, and I tend to agree with him, though it might not have been, if Hitler had not declared war on the US a few days later.)
For the Seattle Times the most important event is the internment of Japanese Americans. In fact, if we judge importance by the number of column inches, the internment is more important to the newspaper than all the other events in WW II, combined. Seriously.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_Americans
But, even so, only part of the event makes it into the newspaper. I can not recall seeing them mention, in recent years, the efforts of our government to make it up to the internees, later, notably in 1948 under President Truman, again in 1988 under President Reagan, and again in 1992 under President Bush.
Nor does the newspaper mention the heroic service of many Japanese Americans in the 442nd Infantry Regiment.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/442nd_Infantry_Regiment_(United_States)
I repeat: I don’t think those running the newspaper intend this as a parody. But it is funny.
Eg it just flashes up
“Olympic rugby sevens final: Fiji v France. Gold medal decider”
Quite unexpected. I guess it’s a global feed so they have to do that?
The idea that one's sex or sexuality is "ideological" is weird and says a lot more about you than it does about the people who just want to be left alone to their own bodies and live their own lives.
In alternate universe I could be our man in Washington or Paris.
I got angered by @SeaShantyIrish2 inane, offensive and ignorant remarks
I now withdraw from the argument and reluctantly congratulate France on a deserved victory in the sevens
*ungrits teeth*
Was good friends with the late Ruth Woo (née Oya), a major presence in Seattle politics for many decades. Who spent much of her teenage years in the camps. Afterwards, she became a significant presence, starting as secretary to two Seattle mayors and then WA Gov. Dan Evans, a moderate Republican. Ruth then went on to become political mentor to future Gov. Gary Locke, the first Asian governor on the US mainland, and numerous other politicos.
Ruth was above all a straight talker. Have a pretty good idea what she'd have to say about this "analysis".
Shows a very very different picture indeed

Very happy to see them win , Dupont is an absolute legend and great for the host nation to get an early Gold Medal.

I don’t reckon they see this as “one of the greatest moments in French rugby history”
Personally am VERY skeptical about medical intervention on sexual identity basis those under 18 years of age.
That does NOT invalidate my basic point about the connection between anti-gay > anti-trans.
Cleverly and Petel tied for second with 3 each, Tugendhat and Badenoch joint 3rd with 2 each.
Braverman and Stride look to go out at the first hurdle with 0 MPs backing them at present

Speaker Johnson blasts Olympics for mocking Christians, Last Supper

Also held up Ukraine aid for six months.
I rest my case.
One is reminded of Colin Powell, universally Coh-lin except he admitted his parents used the traditional British pronunciation with the short o.
What an utter utter load of contrived race-baiting bolleux

Americans don't have a short o sound - they substitute the "ah" of "father" or "calm".
She is recommending kar-mala, although Americans would never transcribe the sound as "ar" because to most Americans "ar" denotes a rhotic sound.
For many many people it’s THIS that really troubles them. The medical and physical interventions and brainwashing of kids under 18, under 16, even under 12. It’s sick and it’s wrong and it’s much more common than many people realise
Lots of families have been destroyed by this
In 2020 I led a study on gendered abuse and disinfo against women political candidates. We found 336k pieces of abuse & disinfo targeting 13 candidates; 78% of that targeted Kamala Harris. After Biden’s endorsement, here are some narratives and tropes we should look out for: (1/)

Now we're back to bloody Claire Balding. Stop talking and show us some sport, Claire. In particular stop talking about people's feelings. One of the glories of sport is that it gives us a break from talking about people's feelings.
It’s only fair. The entire fact of hosting the olympics seems to have annoyed online French left wingers. So they’re even.
Brilliant idea. At an Olympics opening ceremony
@Tweedledee amusingly called it the “Woke Waterloo”
I doubt that’s right but let’s hope so
It upset me briefly because it was shit and unnecessary and unnecessarily shit, but not enough not to blandly go back to the cricket highlights in the other room.
Obvs the left don’t get triggered watching re-runs of Berlin and all that?
Maybe at a global event just don’t rub anyone’s noses in it. Or rub everyone’s noses in it but that takes a bit of bravery.
I will likewise criticise this video for ending too early; it does not show the whole incident. Did the kicking happen immediately after it ended, or some time after?
This video does show the violence that the police had been subjected to, and it was worse than I expected. But I doubt it will change many minds.
Half the bloody world has made their minds up based on some grainy iphone footage before a date can even begin to be found for a jury of peers can be even assembled.
You can't uninvent things.
But...jeez...
social media...

Liberté, égalité, fraternité was an organising theme. Did the trans last supper come under égalité?
They are authoritarian.
Right wing is a belief in a free market, left wing is a belief in a managed economy.
Fascism is a belief in a militarised managed economy. It is more left than right, but the thing that makes it distinctive is the militarised authoritarianism more than either left or right.

Biden tasks Harris with 'stemming the migration' on southern border
The vice president is expected to focus on both curbing the current flow of migrants and coordinating with countries in the region to address the root causes of migration.
The NHS thing at the London Olympics doesn't really fall into that category. Right wing people's reaction wasn't a furious " we are offended by the existence of the NHS" but a weary "must we really venerate this institution? It's like venerating the DVLA."
The House Republican caucus are such a bunch of dumbarses they would impeach the Pope for being anti-abortion if Trump suggested it.
And we can't hold their rugby team responsible for the actions of their football authorities and police.
The closest parallel I can recall is probably someone in my class aged about 13 who mooned out of a coach window on the M1. The gent he mooned at took down the number.
He subsequently got to iirc repeat his performance * for the Deputy Head, a modest amount of cane for the application of - this being ~1980.
* TBF I am not clear on whether it was Sans Cullottes or not.
I’m my own worst enemy. Started another business this week, and spend various unspecified time sorting things out for setup on that. Including all day today faffing with my office and in the stockrooms to basically shift client webstore stock out of the way to make room for my soon to be incoming webstore stock…
I loved Mrs Doubtfire as a kid.
Drag has an ancient history in kids stories. Get over yourself if that bothers you.
They have also got wise to atheist elites trying to use them for divide and rule.
