On the topic of interesting railway signs . . .

Just in the area of architectural taste the next Dem President is going to be very busy . . .

Reuters reports . . .

We all know too well who uses flattery, makes extravagant promises and then never keeps them.

Of all the many things I don't understand about Americans the lack of mainstream media comment on the current president's mental collapse is the most curious.

Brilliant new Banksy clandestinely installed in central London sniggers at nationalism. This time it's a statue: a suited man is walking forward off a cliff while carrying a flag that covers his face.

Who would have thought that a draft dodger would plan to impose a draft?

Ever seen 'The Dambusters' where the plucky pilots despair of the dam breaking despite several hits? Then the film cuts to cracks in the dam wall, suddenly there is one fierce squirt of water and then others. Funnily enough I've always thought of MTG, Piers Morgan, Tucker Carlson as squirts.

Some of the cleverest people in the US . . . have sent some of the bravest people in the US . . . to the far side of our moon at the same time as the President of the US . . . screams and swears at a country he attacked without provocation but which now has him over a barrel.

We are fighting a just war against the religious zealots of an ustable, despotic, regime that acts outside international law and which oppresses, imprisons and murders their own citizens, said an Iranian spokesman.

The petulant conman might have accidentally struck a rich vein of truth when he said that the bottle-blonde Bondi, “will go down as one of the best and most consequential Attorney Generals”.

Now that Noem and Bondi have both been ditched who is in the bed next to the door? My money is on Pete Hegseth (inexplicably wearing an old Etonian tie in the pic below) the over promoted and talent-free Secretary of Defence.

This is unbelievable, even from a malignant, narcissistic, ex-draft dodger and petulant conman with a constant need for approval . . .

The petulant conman has the brains of a backward clam. Doubling down on the Epstein Files war-ploy distraction by putting US troops on the ground is only going to make him even more unpopular.

The surprising thing about the petulant conman is that he never stops giving decent human beings perfectly valid reasons to loathe him.

It's a shame you guys didn't have any caltrops. Perhaps next time . . .

Sadly, the "poet of the spy story" has died at the age of 97. More realistic than Fleming and more cheerful than Le Carré, Life magazine said "big soft girls will read Len Deighton aloud in jazz workshops".

We will remember too. As a "no foreign wars" President you're terrific at blowing the shit out of countries but useless at keeping your allies onside and actually solving international problems.

Trump has thought of a solution, he's going to provide escorts for tankers . . .

If the U.S. are foolish enough to put boots on the ground will it be Kharg Island?

I know that given the current world news shit storm this may seem inconsequential but why does this slimy tosser wear suits that are at least one size too small. Can his mum not afford to buy him a new one?

When Benjamin Franklin left the Independence Hall in Philadelphia on 17th September 1787 he was asked "What have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" Franklin famously replied, "A republic, if you can keep it" implying that the new nation's survival depended on virtue and preventing corruption.

The coward who dodged military service for his country five times slags off others for not rushing to join his domestically and internationally illegal Middle East war. BTW, the US took more than two years to join a country that stood alone against the Nazis.
