Exiled Scot in France but rest of family CH, so forget UK. Socialist but absolutely not Labour or so called hard left, perhaps a Proudhonist. An environmentalist, vegetarian, vegetable gardener, chosen vocation anthropology.

Anybody noticed white socks and white trainers? Then there is one who looks as if he is about to go deepsea diving on the right with a handbag bearer on the left. All in all, that's more like a comedy act than a people's army.

Are the right wingers losing the plot? If the EU remained intact and new members with populist governments in each country they could align and voila the Fourth Reich. None of us who are pro-EU want that but they don't want what we want which is their bottom line. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

Perhaps it has been done before, but today whilst thinking about Fartrage in the dire, dismal Clacton byelection, Lowe, Yakshit-Lemon and others a new word sprang to mind. That new word entered my vocabulary as a permanent fixture: fascistocracy.

I know we Scots have a reputation for being a scruffy, unruly mob but appearances aside in this picture, what you read in this piece should put every sane person off Deform totally. Not only is Fartage a snake oil salesman but Offord and the rest of the 'leadership' everywhere too.

Nigel Fartage has responded to the byelection, saying it was a “victory for sectarian voting and cheating”. He said Matt Goodwin was “a great candidate for us”. Charlatan praises prize loon loser by accusing winner of cheating. Pot and kettle spring to mind.

Tory spokesperson: “This result shows the Labour Government now lacks any support in the country and has no mandate for the terrible policies it is pursuing - increasing the benefits bill, raising taxes, weakening our borders and the Armed Forces.

I live in France, I have no time whatsoever for Macron and his government but like the alternatives less. However, the prompt critical response to the VZ invasion and kidnap matched against cowardly Starmer drivel is gold against dog shit. Trump's lapdog must go.

Trump is capable of many things, perhaps what Macron said more than others. He reportedly warned European leaders against a potential USA betrayal of Ukraine, Trump could well offer Putin Ukraine on a plate as we probably all know. derspiegel.substack.com/p/we-must-no...

DER SPIEGEL has obtained notes from a conference call involving EU leaders - including Germany's Friedrich Merz and France's Emmanuel Macron - showing just how little trust Europe has in Washington.

Nine days of not really any days of peace, No Kings protests and Xi Jinping likely to become the most powerful man in the world, at least economically. Why is Trump still there? Will other 'leaders' stop kowtowing the Orange Loon? Starmer especially, if I may say so.

I have a niggling question. Next Saturday France play England in the Women's Rugby World Cup semi-final. Will a particular house in Clacton fly St Porkie's Cross or the Trickycouleur? I ask because the owner of said house is ostensibly a particularly patriotic right wing Frenchwoman.
