When the pain becomes too much, I expect #Trump to announce special economic zones in the #US which will be free of #tariffs. Just for factories and international #trade. Garnished with #hyperbole.

He will keep #taxing the poor and #MiddleClass, but accommodations will be made for large #investors.

So says my crystal ball.

25% of Covent Garden is now owned by a Norwegian Fund (NBIM).

ā€œā€¦ Not since the Vikings has Norway embarked on quite the scale of U.K. invasion going on across London’s West End right now. Wielding the kind of thunderous financial power that would make even Thor feel inadequate ā€¦ā€

Prayer and prosecutions: the US ā€˜hate group’ waging war over Britain’s abortion clinic buffer zones

Anti-abortion campaigners cheer as JD Vance brands safe zones an attack on ā€˜liberties of religious Britons’

The Guardian

Vance is coming for our rights along with everything else.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/15/jd-vance-decried-as-extremist-over-attack-on-uk-abortion-clinic-safe-zones

Vance claimed the Scottish government had distributed letters to citizens whose houses lay ā€œwithin so-called safe access zones, warning them that even private prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the lawā€. As pointed out, this is a lie. But the morn will carry on repeating it.

A quotation from Peters, Ellis:

Ā«
ā€œGod does indeed forbid,ā€ said Radulfus dryly, ā€œthat we should make more of our virtues or our failings than is due. More than your due you shall not have of, neither praise nor blame.ā€
