  1. How can you deal with people who have no morality or empathy? We just have to hope that the demise of the US Empire will take a whole load of these creeps down with it. A break-up of the USA is probably a necessary condition for a more benign(!) or at least more impotent regime or regimes there, and it can’t come too soon. Unfortunately it will probably take a couple of decades, unless Trump loses very narrowly and instigates an insurrection. Fingers crossed.

    • Not just the US, Jams.

      “A group of thirty UK doctors and health workers who have volunteered in Gaza during Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people there have written to Keir Starmer and his Foreign Secretary David Lammy – both ardent Zionists – about the horrors they have witnessed there, the torture of their Palestinian medical colleagues by Israeli forces and the threats they have faced since returning to the UK amid the government’s demonisation of those standing in solidarity with the Palestinians against genocide.”

      The UK establishment are as usual up to their elbows in blood in both Gaza and Ukraine.

      Here, for example, is Herr Starmer – who would rather take money off British children and pensioners with one hand whilst giving it to right wing thugs in 404 with the other- giving a salutation associated with neo-nazi Ukrainian nationalists:

      In the space of just four week’s Starmer’s personal ‘net favourability’ ratings have collapsed by twenty-four points; whilst the public’s net opinion of Starmer’s entire government has plummeted by nineteen points in just three weeks according to the latest YouGov polling.

      A cull of these parasites is well overdue. To paraphrase Henry II, ‘Who will rid us of this turbulent oligarchy?’

      • You right, Dave. What I should have said though, was that without the currently large (but soon to decline, I trust) power of the US dog walker, the poodles will soon find themselves short of both teeth and food. If the US goes down the tubes, the lapdogs in Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan will have no choice but to look for another lap, and the only one left is BRICS. Whether they’ll be allowed up is another question. Possibly they’ll have to take out their falsies, (teeth, that is, just in case anyone had something else in mind), and become house trained. Or maybe it will be a case of the deckchairs going down with the Titanic.
