You can look up his businesses on Companies House. They are not reporting a lot of revenue,

The geographic split of the poll (dividing UK/Commonwealth (aka UK/Australia/New Zealand/Canada)) from the rest of the world has more thana whiff of Dugin. Aleksandr Dugin is that nutjob philosopher who has the ear of Putin. He coined the phrase"Anglo-Saxon Atlantacists" to describe the UK/Australia/New Zealand/Canada/US, essentially countries that achieved domination through the oceans. He paints a picture that the "Anglo-Saxons" are a threat to the entire world, and the world would be better off without them. He wants all Anglo Saxons to be killed. The poll, perhaps coincidently, seems set up to try and pit thse Anglo Saxons against the rest.

The irony is Trump has been teetotal all his adult life, Putin rarely touches the stuff unless he has to, Xi Jinping very much enjoys a pint. Knocking back a pint with Dave Cameron: https://www.wsj.com/articles/xi-jinping-likes-english-beer-russian-ice-cream-and-iowa-farmsand-now-all-of-china-does-too-1481815201 Enjoying a proper Pils with the Czech President. https://kafkadeskdotorg.wordpress.com/2019/04/24/czech-president-praises-chinas-belt-and-road-ahead-of-beijing-trip/ He loves a nice glass of Merlot https://www.ibtimes.com/china-now-worlds-no1-consumer-red-wine-overtaking-france-italy-1550422 https://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/2014/11/17/us-china-climate-change-accord-robert-bordone-sara-e-del-nido Allegedly he is a fiend for Maotai, knocking back half a liter of the stuff (allegedly) a day. Trying to drink the Taiwanese President under the table in Singapore Meanwhile Putin gets to be Mother pouring a cup of tea. With biscuits. The reality is, you are in a bar with Trump, Putin and Jinping. Jinping starts on the beers, Trump sticks to Coca Colas, but complains about the titchy Thai cans. Putin vainly tries to keep up with the toasts, but is a miserable sour puss, mainly because he's sat at the far end of the table, Billy No Mates, as he usually does, because he's scared <deleted>less of getting Covid, and everyone is wearing masks. Jinping is lining up the shots, but these guys aren't drinking. So you end up in the back of a TukTuk with the Chinese leader to find a proper bar.

ShenSmith is basically a Youtuber. He got his law degree from the Open University, which is a publicly funded University mostly aimed at mature students studying for a degree part time, eg night school. He offers services. Barristers are basically solicitors with a few extra qualifications. The don't practice all forms of law. He doesn't practice International Law. He has 3 firms in his name. His Law office doesn;t report a lot in its accounts. He has an online barrister service, and a media company. With 4 Youtube Channels, he likely doesn't spend that much time practicing law. Hes not Rumpole of the Bailey. He spent an inordinate amount of time commentating on the Johnny Depp story. He's probably right in his video that explained one shouldn't google for legal advice. Similarly, one should treat Youtubers judiciously. The case hinges on whether the BBC has a physical presence in the US. The complainant believes they do. If the BBC has not voluntarily submitted to the Florida court’s jurisdiction and has no ‘presence’ there, it’s likely that an English court would not recognise the Florida court’s ‘long arm’ jurisdiction. What really matters is if an English court would decide under English private international law, were the Complainant try and enforce a US judgment in England. The BBC could mount a challenge in Florida to the court’s jurisdiction. If it doesn't or loses, it could then choose to take no further part in the proceedings. Let them play out. The Americans would then need to enforce the Florida judgement in an English or Welsh Court. As there is no civil judgements treaty between the UK and US, fresh proceedings would need to be issued England to recover the Judgement Debt. The BBC could say a Florida Court has no jurisdiction in England, and that anyhow the damages sought were punitive and penal. The Americans could seize BBC assets in the US to settle the debt, but the BBC probably doesn't have much over there. Thats the difference with ABC and CBS, who settled; they have much more at stake, as US-based broadcasters. At this point the BBC lowballs the Americans with a low settlement, who will shout and complain. And it will go on and on. Could take years. Some reporters say "the BBC might be forced to settle with President Trump", when it could equally be "President Trump will be forced to settle with the BBC". If there is a settlement, the President doesn't make any money. The lawyers do though. In an English Court, the losing side pays all the legal bills. Not so in US courts, where each party is responsible for their own costs. The irony is if the case had been raised in an English Court, the Complainant would be much more likely to win (US Law does put a higher bar on the complainant to prove hurt), but the English put a strict time limit of 12 months. Apparently no one realised this defamation had happened until the near bankrupt Daily Telegraph published a story some time after the broadcast, and no one in the President's team had bothered to watch what was always likely to be a contentious documentary from a programme known for investigatory, and, often, controversial investigation (the recording was public domain, it didn't need a whistleblower to reveal the edit).

Sajid Akram immigrated from Hyderabad, India in 1998, during John Howard's first tenure. His first premiership was marked by reductions in permanent immigration to Australian, and tightening of border controls. His family Hyderabadi home was one of those quite posh two story villas in one of the better parts of the city . After he married a Christian Italian lady in Australia, his family broke off contact with him. He last returned to India in 2022l there is a family property dispute. His half Italian son was not an immigrant, but Australian born.

The Russian Federation is still an Empire. In the old Soviet Union, there was a semblance of political (but not economic) equality for the Republics, though in reality that wasn't the case. The collapse of the USSR meant freedom for many of the peoples who were subjugated by the Tsars. The Russian Federation is still a Slavic majority ruling a minority, with Slavs distributed through colonisation. There needs to be still some border rearranging, and probably everyone would be the better for it, including Russian slavs. I'd include the idea of the United Kingdom in that. I'd still call myself a Unionist, and support the idea of a UK. I am not an English nationalist. But I know a lot of people are unhappy about that state of affairs. One of the arguments for the UK was that it brought us a lot of influence on world affairs. That's clearly no longer the case. So what else is there as an argument for the Union, besides an emotional attachment. In someways, the inevitable collapse of the Russian Federation (Russia is not a wealthy country; it can't afford to absorb the costs of foreign policy mistakes like the US can. This war will exact a cost on Russia) is the final act of the events started in August 1914. That shot in Sarajevo started a chain of events that caused untold human misery, brought down Empires. But that human misery was always there. The Europe that emerged was much better than that before. Was the cost worth it? Would you trade disputes over the definition of chocolate, the straightness of bananas for the Edwardian cap doffing world? Live in blissful ignorance. https://youtu.be/JODWCwycNmg?si=5MSv7VbEu-nRKjo9

Fanta, a Coca Cola brand, invented in WW2 by Coca Cola's German subsidiary, when sanctions meant they weren't getting the secret syrup anymore, but they needed to fulfil German Army contracts for fizzy pop. So Fanta came along, made from cheap plentiful Apples. Interestingly, European Fanta still has (some) actual fruit juice in it. American Fanta; entirely synth https://berlinexperiences.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/berlinexperiences_mythbustingberlin_fanta_4.jpg

This is not as newsworthy as some would suppose. Whitehall insiders say American negotiators are playing the usual "hardball". Exactly the same language was employed to describe Bush's government over the steel deal. And you can go back and back. Its just the American way. 1947 UK-US trade negotiatins: https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/gatt_e/clash_gatt_negotiators_e.htm Even earlier https://www.stateoftheunionhistory.com/2018/03/1826-john-quincy-adams-rescinding-free.html This is likely nothing to do with the President, who is not experienced in these kind of complex deals (he was just a glorified property investor). Its just the baked in approach of generations of American trade negotiators. Leave it to the blokes behind closed doors; the British Establishment and the American Swamp to work it out. Both sides will either come to a brilliant deal for both, or no deal.

Interesting; I saw this concept being worked on by the British Army in 2012, though back then it was such equipment to support foot patrols.

The Russian Army is officially slower than a snail.

I don't see a conflict with ath 2017 US law; its the difference between de jure and de facto. Russia is de facto in control of the stolen territories, much like Turkey is in Northern Cyprus, Russia is South Ossetia/Abkahzia. Russia might be de facto in charge, but its going to bleed them dry. These are ruined territories; GDP has declined 90%+, infrastructure is wrecked. There might be economic potential in the mines, the fields, but its going have to Russian banks, and the Russian government, lending to business. No legit bank outside will lend money to people who have to legal right to the property they are seeking to develop. ESG really is something Public companies take notice of. Mined minerals will have all the attraction of blood diamonds from the Congo; sure, someone will buy them, but at a knockdown price. It will be virtually impossible to raise sovereign debt on the international market. Investments in Turkish occupied Cyprus remain complex, and the place remains a relative tip compared to the Republic of Cyprus. The Russian occupied areas will remain dilapidated for decades. Meanwhile, across the Line of Control, mines and other businesses will see overseas investment flood in, from the US, EU. I have no doubt jobs will be on offer to Luhansk/Donetsk residents wishing to commute, though Russian papers might complicate things. At least, that is the hope. The hope is that the cost of Russian occupation will be too high for a future Russian government, once the current gang of former Soviet functionaries are gone. I feel a bit sorry for the Ukrainians who voted for seperation. Before all that, Luhansk and Donetsk, in relative terms, enjoyed a higher standard of living than the rest of Ukraine. They were fooled by a former Santa Claus salesman (Gubarev) and a "service engineer" (what, a plumber?) Koslov. In September, Donetsk experienced water shortages, due to a poor maintained water supply, leading to a cholera outbreak, along with the inevitable dysentery. This has lead to fake claims that Ukrainian forces are deliberately introducing cholera via the Sea of Azov.

I see a few posters whom are either unpaid agents for Russia are posting again, or are Russians posing as other nationalities.

He's bored after the daughter apparently abandoned him. Running out of sources to support his ferocious one man threads that no one reads, now resorting to the free Google AI, which is now busy mining his habits (since he needs to register for that).

"Danish DNA" means Angles or Jutes. You can't distinguish them. And to all intents and purposes, you cant seperate "Viking" DNA from "Danish" DNA. While there are some haplogroups associated with Vikings, they are not exclusive to the group. Vikings tend to be genetically heterogenous. For obvious reasons, Vikings were mostly men. My DNA, depending how how the test is performed indicates 1% Icelandic, 2% firmly Angle-Saxon, not Jute.

21 years inside is the sentence. Previous convictions for assault, including biting a man's ear off. During his short stint in the Marines, known for a short fuse. Driving like a lunatic earlier in the day. I suspect this was the way he normally drove.

This post needs to be deleted. There is zero evidence that Reiner was murdered because of his political beliefs. His son is in custody, drugs are implicated, but likely at the heart of this was a serious mental illness. I'd still remember De Niro for the Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver, Good Fellas, Heat, Raging Bull. Burt Lancaster, Marlin Brando, Orsen Welles, Paul Robeson, Lloyd Bridges, Charlton Heston, Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and Charlie Chapln were also actors who in life were politically outspoken. Burt Lancaster made some brilliant films. You appear to be a Generation Z who has enthusiastically embraced Cancel Culture. Or a performing seal acting on command.

More reaction from the world of politics

Apparently that's not her. The entire piece is AI generated. Its bizarre. An entire channel that is AI generated in the style of Sarah Paine, seemingly entirely based on this lecture: What is the purpose of this? The channels history starts off with some AI generated fake Elon Musk videos, which are fairly amateurish. Then its AI Starmer. Then AI Racheal Maddow. The videos get better, but the channel still wan't getting much in terms of views. AI Sarah Paine seems to have tiked up; the algorithm is liking this better. Figuring out the meaning of "Seele Suche" leads you to a warren of fandom regarding an apocalyptic manga cartoon from the 90s, Evangelion. My advice is to forget about this particular channel. My guess is it will suck you in with viewpoints you superficially agree with, then, bam, you're buying timeshares in Albania using crypto. There is a real Sarah Pain to listen to.

You didn't understand a single point that was made. Not worth debating further with a racist.

Fake news.

Your meme describes yourself.

SunnyinBangrak spends time on TruthSocial for instruction what to parrot.
