'"You Wouldn't Steal a Car" was an anti-piracy campaign of the early 2000s, famously ineffectual and the target of many parodies. It has long been known the campaign exceeded the licensing terms of the music it used—pirated, you might say—and now analysis of the font shows it to be a replica of a commercial typeface designed by Just van Rossum—pirated, you might say.'

The #UK lifts #sanctions on #Syria after #Jolani pledged to normalise ties with @israel

The UK has decided to begin lifting sanctions of Syrian government institutions and media outlets, despite the fact that many of these institutions continue to operate under officials formerly working for Bashar Al-Assad’s government. The move comes almost immediately after it was reported that US officials were told by Syrian leader Abu Mohammed Al-Jolani that he seeks to betray the Palestinian people and normalise ties with Israel.

America’s commander-in-belief tells The Times about trying to stop the president swearing and why the UK has become ‘like Russia at the height of communism’

What a thankless role! But he doesn’t worry, His hypocrisy will carry him through and allow him to sleep at night.

What bit of the ‘teachings of Jesus’ do these religious types actually believe in and attempt to emulate?

Or for downright atrocities.

Lest we forget:

“Keir Starmer is without moral rectitude. He is a deceiver, utterly duplicitous, a political confidence trickster, and he surrounds himself with equally iniquitous and unvirtuous carpetbaggers, warmongers, and anti-socialist Machiavellian pantomime characters, such as the weasel Streeting.”

“We will also support those who can work back to work, but Labour is the party of work – we’re also the party of equality and fairness” -- Keir Starmer

So you'll be introducing the package of swingeing redistributive taxes on the rich when, precisely, Sir Keith?

US commits MASS MURDER in Yemen while FALSELY accusing Russia of ‘war crimes’
All the Western media are shouting out loud that the Russian attack on a military awards ceremony in Sumy was “the crime of the century”, while US airstrikes have been battering Yemen since February, killing:
🔸117 civilians—32 women and children among them.
🔸Wounding 221.
Hodeidah’s homes and Sanaa’s markets lie in ruins. Yet, the West shrugs. Compare this to Sumy recently. Western leaders screamed “war crime,” demanding justice, but Yemen’s toll rise up to:
🔸300 US-UK strikes in 2025 alone
🔸85 civilian deaths by February
🔸A ceramics factory strike killed 5, injured 13.
Where are the humanitarians crying for Ukraine now? Western bombs don’t discriminate.
