Either we are heading for an all mighty crash or Trump is a genius. We are either on the brink of a major financial crash, or Donald Trump is playing a calculated game. With $9 trillion set to be borrowed from the bond markets over the next 12 months and growing risks by the day, the U.S. dollar is...

Are there any bands that aren't 'heritage' bands that could rock Glastonbury? Any bands at all from the last 10 years?
The best act I saw this year was someone I never heard of...Doechii ot something like that
Wouldn't be fair to call her a band, though

Fair point

Pretty shitty to see an act on the BBC this am say boycott Rod because he supports Reform. So do millions beacuse of the political vacuum. Pathetic from the liberals out there up the hoops I know Rod hasn’t been able to sing for 20 years but I’d be at the pyramid stage if I was there. Probably with...

To be honest, the main issue for this board is that most of us are just too old and out of touch for every act that's basically not a heritage band. I don't like the 1975 but they were good actually, far better than I expected. Are there any bands that aren't 'heritage' bands that could rock Glasto...

North Korea doesn’t have a bomb. Worse than kill every Jew ? Oh ok I believe it has almost 50. It doesn't us them obviously for the same reason that Iran probably wouldn't.

If they stuck that 60% uranium inside a decent sized bomb then a commercial jet could make a nasty.

Anyway - Trump does not know what to do; nobody considers him as a reliable partner and he is desperately trying to distance himself from this Israel unilateral attack. But, when (and if) the Iranian regime will fall apart, Trump will be the first to claim this as “his victory”; the best victory ev...

its a poor argument though and hard to prove-oh a tiny amount of people are voting lots of times and we have found 2 people on twitter who did that so that proves it. its more like an excuse explanation.

On the betting markets, the uk was favourite to be the lowest ranked. The jury confounded this. As a song I think it was part awful amd part good, like a musical

Did the Norwegian-Irish girl spend at least 5 years singing in Connacht taverns, before being allowed to perform on the big stage? She's as Irish as Tony Cascarino; though sadly without his legendary status. Love the Eurovision even though the music is mostly awful. I heard an interview with that n...

I find it interesting that Trump said "now is a good time to buy stocks" a few hours before this announcement. Will anyone investigate? Nah, he's gutted the justice system and the SEC. Still 10% tariffs on everyone I think? Trade ended with China. This is apparently ATH good news for stocks, despit...

johnuknow

I assume he will back down (CNN) or as Fox will frame it, achieve a significant victory in time. Probably end up with a Tariff of 10% in a lot of places which will have a 'meh' effect overall.

To what extent is this the opening gambit?

Oh FFS. Just making shit up now. We're caught in the flat 10% nonsense. We're as low on the list as it's possible to get (we were 10% BEFORE "discount"). So everyone else at 10% is a response to their diminishing free speech and justice system? If you want to make stuff up then fine. But at least T...

He will definitely go for a third term. Thankfully he's old and may die before then. Of course that will leave us with President Vance which isn't much better.
