  • Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty on Friday to three new charges related to his handling of U.S. classified documents after he left the White House in 2021 - raising the total brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith in the case to 40.
    Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, also waived his right to be present in Florida federal court for his arraignment on the three additional charges on Aug. 10, a court filing showed.
    TalkTV’s Mike Graham is joined by columnist Peter Hitchens for his half hour discussing Donald Trump’s indictment and the Government’s latest migration policy.

      @pussypostlethwaitsaeronaut8503 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It should be got rather than 'gotten'. The past participle of 'get' in English, as used in UK, is 'got'; the past participle of 'get' in American English is 'gotten'. Therefore it should be 'things would have got' ‒ not 'things would have gotten'.

      Inflections of 'get':
      past tense ‒ got,
      past participle (English) ‒ got, (chiefly American) ‒ gotten.

      Try reading all of Orwell's books rather than just '1984', before coming on the internet to tell us what he got wrong or right. Beginners' tip? He was a journalist, not a prophet, and if he tried to predict the future, he didn't do a very good job.

I cannot believe that we are going to have to eat insects, get rid of my car, lose access to my cash, accept the new woke ideology being taught in schools, or lose my bank account, and pay the extreme increases in food energy and L A charges whilst the government MPs sit back and pocket millions and laugh in our faces at our ineptitude. I have just been informed of another increase in my utility bills up from 87 pounds per month to 250 per month. This isn't funny, clever or affordable. And I use hardly any power so come under the so called magic F cap. I am costing out generators as I type this. Power isn't going to drop as long as we have this lot in power. I see it as just another way of killing off pensioners.

      Putin has been planning a reunification of the USSR states for decades. Ukraine threw a stick in that plan during the Euromaidan. Putin's puppet was deposed, and that made him really mad. But it was inevitable, he was openly selling his country out to Russia.

    “It was a country that lacked cohesion. It depended upon foreign arms, foreign money and foreign political will. Once deprived of these it faced its foe alone, and the mirage rapidly evaporated.” US Secretary of Defence Schlessinger talking to journalist James Schell about South Vietnam in 1975.
    Sounds rather redolent of a country in Eastern Europe today…it’s on the tip of my tongue.
    Peter’s right. The US-backed coup of 2014 is our Franz Ferdinand moment, and as Kennedy warned in 1962, you cannot back a nuclear-armed power into a corner and expect it to accept a humiliating defeat.
    We’re facing thermonuclear war as one nuclear-armed power or the other is going to find itself in that unacceptable position sooner rather than later.
    And this is why I’ve become a raging alcoholic. Since we have no statesmen worthy of the title in the West, and none at the UN, indeed, they’re more bothered about global boiling, we’re doomed to the mother of all nuclear winters.

    Politicians refuse to say they were wrong perhaps because of the mythical image they themselves have manufactured of being "right honourable" as well as forming titles such as Sir,Lord or Baron or Baroness which carry the lie that these people are in some way superior and if proven wrong devalues their elitism.

    Peter's "if A then B" doesn't impress me. I do think the Trump-inspired fracas was disgraceful, but it certainly was not describable as an "insurrection" or anything close. Considering all the firearms Americans possess, I think we can take it for granted that if they wanted to overthrow the democratic process they would remember to take some of those guns along with them. On the other hand, the overthrow of Viktor Yanukovych was, as Mr. Hitchens says, clearly an illegal and undemocratic act.

      As an adult went to see a stage production of 1984 in 2003.
      Now I realise that we are living in that so called fiction. Orwell a Hero, surely. But is is astounding how Orwell's work has been hijacked by the extremists; those who still believe in a communist paradise somewhere over the rainbow.

    With regard to shops not taking cash, we should remember that many small and medium size towns now only have one bank and in some cases no bank at all!! Shop keepers and other retail outlets are forced to pay in their takings in the main county town(s) where there are still representative banks. This is a journey they don't want to make and wait in horrendous queues to pay in their cash. The days of the 'night safe' have gone and retail outlets are between a rock and a hard place.
