It's time for Europeans, especially the UK, to stop tiptoeing through the tulips with the current US administration. According to them, we’re just freeloaders (check Pete Hegseth’s comments). Trump’s state visit to meet the King? It feels like we're appeasing a tyrant, just like we did with Hitler. That was a huge mistake then, and it’s a huge mistake now. This US administration is the worst kind of ignorant bully, and yet we keep tiptoeing through the bloody tulips like nothing’s wrong.

Things won’t improve on their own. Gaza and Ukraine are abandoned while Trump rants on, and we need to wake up – fast. Our government must stop pussyfooting around and take a strong stance. No more appeasement. We need to fight fascism, and we must be seen doing it. First step: Ban the state visit.

A quotation from Pratchett

The universe contains any amount of horrible ways to be woken up, such as the noise of the mob breaking down the front door, the scream of fire engines, or the realization that today is the Monday which on Friday night was a comfortably long way off. A dog’s wet nose is not strictly speaking the worst of the bunch, but it has its own peculiar dreadfulness which connoisseurs of the ghastly and dog owners everywhere have come to know and dread. It’s like having a small piece of defrosting liver pressed lovingly against you.

De kop bij het nieuws moet niet zijn dat de oranje amoebe de voorzitter van de joint chiefs of staff ontslaat, maar dat hij de enige zwarte man EN de enige vrouw van de joint chiefs of staff ontslaat.

Alles wat niet wit, man en christelijk is, moet er uit.

Your government has created a list of BANNED WORDS for its websites and internal network content. Words like, 'inclusion' and 'diversity' and 'prejudice'. These words will be REMOVED.

Is this still your country? Well, you'd better get up off your ass and make some fucking noise or it won't be for long.
