China and Cuba

The October 2025 UN meeting condemned the USA’s blockade of Cuba. 167 countries voted for the proposition including the UK. Trump’s reaction was to boost the blockade in January. The Chinese broke the blockade in May 2026. There were no repercussions. Meanwhile Britain stands on the sidelines and keeps silent. They keep silent about a crime against humanity because it’s the USA that’s doing it.

The USA has lost the Iran War

By denying the Saudi government vital help in their war against the Yemeni Houthi the USA has admitted defeat. There was no fanfare but that’s what it amounts to. Abandoning the Saudi at this moment sends a catastrophic signal to all of the USA’s allies.

The targeted use of aid, soft loans, disaster relief, infrastructure projects and education is altering the world’s diplomatic alliances.

Finn McRedmond reviews Vespers Restaurant, London

“I will start with the euphemistically named ‘pizzette’ – it topped with Straciartella (tick) and mortadella (tick) and then? Mostarda. That is pineapple jam, between you and me. And I can tell you this: jam belongs on rice pudding, which then belongs in the bin.”

Pete Hegseth: Fake warrior

Hegseth lives in a delusional fantasy world. His world is populated by warriors, of which he is one. He indulges in extreme (for a 46 year old man) physical activities with young men. He body shamed generals and proposed testosterone injections for fighting spirit. His military decisions are poor at the very least.
