‘And there’s been no president ever as tough as I have been on Russia.’

‘So many people at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki.’

Chris Morris’s classic ‘The Day Today’ made this suggestion about the IRA:

Remember folks - Trump told us that the Putin meeting would be the easiest part of his European Catastrophe Tour.

Some DC-based Democrat should licence it for a campaign video.

The worst bit? I’d literally just finished writing teaching material about networking and was oh-so-proud of myself that I’d never slipped and called it a number...

I think we all need a song to cheer us up - and this is simply magnificent:

Not to mention all the people who are immuno-compromised - such as people with HIV or those receiving some treatments for cancer. They are vulnerable to any viruses bubbling through the population. Antivaxxers put perfectly innocent people at risk through their selfishness and ignorance.

It’s going to look like a Louis XIV’s Versailles knocking shop.

Over the weekend...

Everyone’s probably a bit down after Monday’s craven capitulation to Putin in Helsinki - so perhaps this will help... some signs from the Scottish protests against Trump:

Another big iron ore line - albeit in the complete opposite climate - is the link from the mines in Kiruna, Sweden to the ice-free port of Narvik in Norway.

It must be bad - Paul Ryan and Fox are condemning Trump! Though Hannity is along on the trip and will be fellating - sorry, interviewing Trump and I’m sure normal service will soon be resumed.

One of the best placards I’ve seen from today’s protests:

There’s a pro-Trump march tomorrow in Central London which rather revealingly will join a far-right protest. It’s going to attact a mix of nutters, weirdoes, racists and people who’ve been exposed to low doses of The Daily Telegraph.

How do we get it into the Macy Parade?

That bottom photo looks like Trump is sodomising a symbol of the UK - which is about right.
