What the FUCK is the point of my posting lyrics from Soviet era rock bands if SHITTY Twitter is going to translate them into English without asking me?

People are concerned that a newspaper that sacked the greatest political cartoonist of our times for being a bit mean to a lefty activist "end-of-life" (LOL) doctor... might be shifting to the Left. If only the signs had been there. 🤪

If you read the Bible with an app, you probably switch between the text, references, and maybe a group study.
What if all three worked together?

I was First Secretary at the British Embassy in Warsaw 1994-98. While that was a long time ago, I knew personally many of the people at the heart of the current crisis, such as Donald Tusk and Radek Sikorski.

This video is a viral sensation in France and across the EU, on YouTube, TikTok and X.
Because we’re all sick of the constant lies from our leaders and ridiculously blaming Russia for every single problem they have themselves caused.
It’s such a shame that we cannot make this number 1.

Amen. (also, it was under Marcus Aurelius that Christians were thrown to the beasts in the arena.)
That face you make when you read the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius 195 times and build an entire career off promoting stoic philosophy but still don't know what it means or how to apply it to your own life.
This is modern intellectualism in a nutshell.
All knowledge, no wisdom.
Virtue signalling without virtue.

Austria's law enforcement is investigating Ukrainian HUR officers that may have been sent to Vienna to kill a fugitive former high-ranking official. This is a description of their unit. It even has a Latin motto.

And, like the English, French and Russian boys of their generation they were completely unaware of the powers behind the war.
As Hannes Wader put it:
‘Yes, they lied to you, just as they are lying to us today. And you gave them everything: your strength, your youth, your life!’

It is understood Nick Lowles has rejected the position of Editor the Daily Telegraph claiming the paper has lurched too far to the left.

On the war memorial in my home village there are 40 names of young men who lived there and died in vain. The village had then about 300 inhabitants.
When I see it, I think that those young men did what I did - roamed through the woods, swam in the sea, fell in love with girls...

I am folic acid intolerant (proven) and my hubby and my brother both have prostate cancer. I feel strongly that synthetic folic acid should be nowhere near one of our most staple and prevalent foods!! It's very hard to avoid as it is in so many mass produced products. 😟

He's right. The Telegraph would have been better off with the Arabs.
Folks, this was entirely predictable -- and some of us did warn. The government, media and the broader establishment were agitated into a typical bout of #dosomethingism about the Telegraph's future when it looked as though the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund was set to take over. We can't have a major UK newspaper sold to a 'foreign power', they said. Then, the same people cheered when it was sold to Axel Springer, a foreign buyer. And now you're suddenly worried that that foreign buyer might have his own political agenda that doesn't sit with the Telegraph's own, traditionally British conservative political stance?
Alex Springer's political leanings are well known: right leaning liberal, pro-EU, pro-Israel, Atlanticist, liberal-interventionist, anti-populist. I am not arguing that this position is wrong. I disagree with some aspects, of course, but I also see it as a perfectly reasonable position to hold. Whatever one thinks, though, we should very much not be surprised that this is now where the Telegraph is being pushed. Because even better known than the ideology itself is that Axel Springer treats it as an absolute non-negotiable for every journalist that works for any of its publications. Notoriously so.
And now those who had no problem with this organisation taking over the Telegraph seem surprised that all the journalists that aren't right of centre liberal, pro-EU, etc, etc are being booted out in cost-cutting measures.
Well done, folks. When the Telegraph turns liberal, pro-EU and starts serving up the John Major lie of 'Britain being best off improving the EU by reforming it from within,' like the limp, uneaten half of a cheese toastie rewarmed on a prison cell radiator, you can look in the mirror to find the person to blame. But at least this wouldn't be done by a foreign power that might have its own reasons for tilting British public opinion that way, or removing the one broadsheet newspaper that might have opposed it. Right. RIGHT?!

The British centre-right are crying a river over the Daily Telegraph, even though it was bought by an ardent Zionist using the mechanism of the free market. The firings are happening to increase the paper's profitability.
So...isn't this the world you wanted?

I was hoping to be able to announce this in my own time – but the media rumour mill is swirling, I'm being contacted by various reporters and others, and I don't like denying the truth, so ...
I wrote my first "Economic Agenda" column in The Sunday Telegraph 27 years ago, under the editorship of Dominic Lawson – filling-in occasionally during the late-1990s, before being given my own weekly slot from 2003.
Since then, while I've been heavily involved in television, and am perhaps better known as a broadcaster, penning "Economic Agenda" for The Sunday Telegraph each week has been the backbone of my journalistic life.
On Thursday, the @Telegraph rang to tell me my column is being scrapped.
I was asked, and have agreed, to write "Economic Agenda" until the end of November, as per my contract. After that, my Sunday Telegraph column will be no more.
Why this decision has been made, and whether or not my columns were any good, is for others to judge.
All I will say is that, as the first person in my family to attend university, sustaining a weekly column in a leading national newspaper for a quarter of a century has been a source of enormous pride for myself and my family.
Lots of people have been asking me about the future of "Planet Normal" - the hugely-popular Telegraph podcast which I co-created and co-present with the brilliant @AllisonPearson
"Planet Normal" has, over the last 330 weekly episodes, also become a major part of my professional life and my broader identity.
With Allison reportedly leaving the Telegraph as well, there is a lot of speculation about whether or not the podcast will continue to impart "news and views from beyond the bubble" with our usual blend of sharp analysis, humour and occasional outrage !
Well, I am delighted to confirm that Co-Pilot Pearson and myself are deeply committed to our joint podcast – and, above all, to our beloved listeners.
We will, as and when notice periods allow, continue our voyages through space every Thursday – perhaps to "Planet Normal", or maybe to another part of the solar system – so we can "gaze down each week at the madness of Planet Earth", as we have done since the Spring of 2020.
So citizens of Planet Normal, stand ready ! The "rocket-of-right-thinking", the "flying refuge of reasoned views", will soon be launched once again 🚀🪐👨🏭👱♀️🎙️📺
I poured my heart and soul into "Economic Agenda" and "Planet Normal". The Telegraph's decision to scrap them is obviously a huge personal blow. But I will always be grateful for the opportunities the paper has given me.
Above all, I would like to thank the illustrious list of successive Telegraph business editors I've worked with since the late-1990s, many of whom have become and remain good friends - including @Peston @RobertsDan @larmitstead @neilbenet @benjaminmarlow @cg_williams @kamalahmednews @MarkKleinmanSky @jamesrquinn (sorry if I've forgotten anyone, it's been a long time!)
On Friday, even though I almost always write my column from elsewhere, and despite being extremely disappointed by the paper's decision, I decided to go into the Telegraph and write today's column sitting in the newsroom.
I am glad I did - as being at the heart of the paper at such a difficult time allowed for lots of conversations, with everyone from junior production staff to senior reporters and executives, which reminded me that journalism, despite being an industry at the whim of seemingly endless and often brutal commercial and technological upheaval, is not only hugely important to our country, but full of talented, decent people.
See picture below, having just filed my piece, as I was heading out the door ...

I haven’t seen this many DS creepers for quite some time.
Since I shared the @JMCDelingpole interview with geoengineering autodidactict, Max Bliss, I have been relentlessly trolled by the deep state agent provocateurs.
It’s obviously hitting a nerve.

This is why Wetherspoons has removed the steak, mixed grill, gammon, lamb shank, salmon & beef chilli from its menu, whilst keeping the rice, pasta, salad, and veg chilli. Eventually, all restaurants will follow suit (see predictive programming Demolition Man).
A restaurant makes more on the pasta than the steak, and the entire food system worked that out before you did.
The ribeye is £42 on the menu. It cost the kitchen about £14 to put on the plate.
The pasta is £18. It cost about £2.50, most of which was the parmesan.
The salad is £14. It cost about £2, and the lettuce was the expensive bit.
The risotto is £19. It is rice, stock and a knob of butter, and the stock was free.
The steak returns twice what it cost. The pasta returns six times. The salad returns six times.
So the chef's special is the pasta, the salad gets a paragraph on the menu, and the steak sits at the bottom with no adjectives.
Now scale the restaurant up to a country.
A box of cereal is 20p of grain and £3.50 on the shelf.
A plant-based burger is pea flour, rapeseed oil and a red dye, and it sells for more than the beef one it is pretending to be.
An oat drink is oats and water and sells at twice the price of the milk it replaced.
Every tier of the trade makes its margin on the plant, because a plant is nearly free and an animal takes two years of grass.
Bill Gates owns more farmland than any other man in America, holds stakes in the fake meat firms, and told the rich world to switch to synthetic beef.
The pattern in the restaurant and the pattern in the policy are the same pattern. Talk down the expensive ingredient. Sell the cheap one at the expensive price. Keep the difference.
The advice you were given about meat was written by people who make eight times more when you order the pasta.
Nobody is giving you a diet. They are giving you the menu with the margins folded over.
