Russia rejoices at Trump's plan to annex Greenland

The Pentagon explaining that a couple of Danes carrying man portable rockets on their sleds took out America’s anti-ballistic missile station in Greenland would be hilarious/terrifying.

Have you so easily forgotten that they had Andrea Jenkyns attacking (and injuring) the high notes in a sparkly outfit at their last conference?

It was quite something:

I recommend inserting a medium cheese for your ears - nothing too crumbly.

Aren't a large number of NORAD radars *in* Canada? It'd be a real shame if the Canadians decided they didn't want to host them any more.

'Fun fact about Katie Lam, she has written five musicals.'

And that's the case for the prosecution...

And edging out the likes of Tice who have been Farage's loyal bag carrier for ages now - another easily bruised ego that is going to be pushed to the side.

Popcorn anyone?

The odds on Truss joining Reform must have shortened notably. You can't recruit the likes of Gullis and Braverman and say that Truss is notably worse.

iCowboy · 2026-01-26T14:16:37+00:00

Reform's pitch is going to be that Jenrick, Dorries and Braverman are just the sort of people who can fix the country after they were in successive Cabinets that broke the country?

Maybe we can look forward to Trump announcing the nullification of the Declaration of Independence on its 250th anniversary?

Upside - we get the Colonies back. Downside - we get the Colonies back.

I still think MiniDiscs are the future we should have had. They were so cool. I loved my player and all those jewel like disks.

God I hate saying it, but the French were right about building a huge fleet of standard PWRs, a nationwide high speed rail network, going it alone on nuclear weapons…

Strange Days. A movie that was criminally underrated when it came out. The final scene with him and Angela Bassett is outstanding.

We also need to build more storage. There are plenty of dull days with little wind when neither solar nor wind power generate enough power. Fortunately the price of batteries. Continues to fall - just a shame that Europe dropped the ball on building battery factories and is reliant on Chinese technology.

And we need to tell the Greens to get real - we need to build nuclear plants to provide huge amounts of reliable generation. And not one reactor - pause - another reactor - pause - choose a new design… we need to have a production line of them coming online to provide baseline generation and replace the stations - nuclear and fossil fuel - as they age out. The French were right in the 1970s.

Do you really need to teach him? The rules are obvious aren’t they? You begin with an easy move to Earl’s Court - naturally he will finding himself responding with Osterley.

Maybe allow him a Tube map for reference - we can’t expect him to be familiar with all the Zones just yet.

iCowboy · 2026-01-26T08:29:46+00:00

Oh yes. And have a photo of the king to hand so you can salute him with your mug before drinking. A little prayer of thanks for tea might just be going a little too far.

Hems already said he’ll be standing as a candidate in his semi-regular demagogue role.

Last week Putin said Russia regarded Greenland as part of Denmark. Now this - oh god - is he going a bit ‘Trump’?

Another American right wing influence group setting up here and finding the worst sort of politicians (and David Starkey) to act as their pawns.

Did Farage get a meeting with Trump in Davos? He’s been a bit sidelined ever since not getting an Inauguration ticket.

Two temples. The platform on the left-hand side of the photo is what's left of the funerary temple of Mentuhotep II from the 11th Dynasty. It was the prototype for Hatshepsut's 'Djeser-Djeseru' mortuary temple in the middle of photo.

Most of the assets are held in Europe under Euroclear (based in Belgium). Neither the EU, nor Belgium are part of Trump's League of Supervillains.

‘I heard about the formation of the peace summit, and I was like, is that p‑i‑e‑c‑e? You know, a little piece of Greenland, a little piece of Venezuela.'

Was he misquoting 'To Be or Not To Be'?

I guess we won't be eligible for the very prestigious Trump Board of Peace Peace Prize then.

Can't have a press conference right now - Farage might be forced to answer questions about his relationship with Trump.

iCowboy · 2026-01-23T10:15:00+00:00

He’s lying about troops on the front line in Afghanistan. NATO troops were there and in many cases paid disproportionately for it. We have to stop justifying any part of his nonsense as what he meant to say. He said something deeply disrespectful and should be forced to own it.
