“He got rich here and then made off to Monaco to save himself money…He avoided giving back to the economy that made him a billionaire…He and anyone else who leaves here to not pay tax should be stripped of their honours.” Bravo @dalevince.com #TaxTheRich www.theguardian.com/news/2026/oc...

Most of the probably don't know where Europe is. And I am not being facetious
I suspect the MAGA see this as a badge of his prowess. It's clear that Right Wing Americans in general don't give a toss about Europe and wouldn't care at all if Putin's tanks rolled over the entire continent. The idea that Europe can put any faith in NATO is laughable.

As the world watches and cogitates over the state of the USA under Trump, the one thing that sits above all else is how the international stature of USA has irrevocably changed for the worse. There is no rapid way back from here. New orders will emerge from this to the long term detriment of the US

Enjoyed that. Needed to hear more from Newsom.
This is a great interview with Gavin Newsom – and he doesn't hold back on his criticism of what's happening to the USA.

Whilst the pavilion itself is complete, works to achieve full building control sign off remain - we still need to widen the access pathway

It's even easier. Cofnas & all other scientific racists fail to meet basic academic standards. They don't read or engage with evidence & their interpretation of data is demonstrably specious. Instead of doing good scholarly work, they hide behind "controversy". He has no business at a university.

So very true
When you don't listen for *years* to what loads of us who actually understand universities say, when you listen to a load of know-nothing frauds from think tanks and consultants and media loudmouths instead, this is the university disaster you make. Govts could have listened. They didn't.
