Paedosky or Pedosky?

Last year, when I used Twitter more, I was told that Bluesky should be called paedosky. The post was made from an account that is now suspended (and I am not going to sign up for Twitter chat to share the conversation). 

The irony is that Elon Musk has allowed it to be used to alter images of women and children to undress them. Twitter has yet to take decent action on this, but as more leave it, I suspect it wants to keep features that will stop incels from moving to Truth Social. 

Venezuela and the abduction of Nicolás Maduro

Let me first of all say that the abduction of Nicolás Maduro is wrong and is a breach of international law.  

He is rightly regarded as an illegitimate president and I shed no tears about the end of his regime.  However, due to the need for the UK to keep on the good side of Trump, I understand why Starmer has not condemned this. 

There are many who have called him out over this, and I see why, but when you peel back the layers of his decision not to do so, you can understand why.

One is the Trump Tariffs. If we annoy The Orangutan, then we risk having higher tariffs which will harm British jobs and affect the growth our nation needs.

The other is Ukraine. If Putin gets his way, he will be able to take what he wants of Ukraine, weaken it for the next invasion and will have sanctions dropped allowing him to prepare for the invasion of The Baltic States.

While there is concern that Trump will invade Greenland, I doubt the US Congress would allow this to happen without consequences.

Politics, Labour and the Democrats

I like Jimmy Carr.  I think that while he is very controversial (the rest of my family cannot stand him), he has some interesting views on life.  He has been doing a round of interviews and on one of them, he talks about how Labour are not the party of the working class.  He is wrong, they are.  Like in the USA where Trump has sold himself as representing the working class, Farage and Reform PLC have managed to pretend that they are the party of the workers when they are not. 

In the UK, Labour were given a growing economy built on undeliverable spending promises which had been made by the Tories.  Hard decisions had to be made and while Reform, The Greens and Your Party have economic polices from Planet Truss, Labour have got on with making our nation better.

An example of how Reform pretend to be the party of workers when they are not are the way they have opposed renters and employment rights. 

A big problem with Labour is communication.  They have been useless at communicating about the flaming turd of debt that they were given and Labour have been inept at stating what they have done.  But, like with the Democrats in the USA, Labour are the party of the working class.
