Panic stations in Liberal ÜberAllesLand when Trump and Brexit happened and there seemed to be an unstoppable rising tide of Rightwingery across Europe.  But how they cheered when Wilders in Holland and Le Pen in France didn’t triumph….the tide had turned, the People had come to their senses and seen off the threat of a return to the Thirties that loomed large.  The Liberals could relax whilst they plotted … Continue reading →

Catalonia leader Puigdemont fails to clarify independence bid Fails? According to who? Why, the Spanish government of course, who set the deadline demanding that he “clarify” the situation.

They even quoted Superintendent Paul Giannasi, who explained that Brexit “isn’t really over for most people”. But who exactly is Paul … Continue reading →

  Hillary Clinton so shocked and appalled at the Dem’s big donor’s behaviour that she’ll be handing back all the money….or will she?…Marr didn’t ask the very obvious question. Maybe Clinton was in fact shocked and appalled at Marr’s interview…it did seem as if rather than setting out to actually quiz Clinton with some tough questions, such as her own husband’s abuse of power to pull the girls, [Clinton was … Continue reading →

The weekend beckons and so here is a new OPEN thread to see us off into the wild blue yonder! DETAIL their rancid bias here please!
