Sad news out of the UK, a coup d’état has lead to the removal of Prime Minister Boris Johnson from parliament. My thoughts and prayers are with our British friends, I hope the King is able to restore democracy soon.

Actually, you are correct.  A winning PM was thrown out for trivial reasons & replaced with a globalist loser.

According to some Italian media, Berlusconi is dead. Not a bad news for our country.

 

I'm only sorry for his family, but he was really a criminal.

Confirmed. Was he more or less of a criminal than any other Italian politician of that era, though?

I don't agree. He destroyed the Italian political panorama, destroyed the economy and let the fascists into the instructions. With his televisions, he has impoverished the Italian cultural panorama and has barbarized politics.

He had a dozens and dozens of trials, and I can continue for hours, with the "law at personam"

Beautiful hot sunny weather here in :GBR so at last all those many billions we have invested in solar panels are going to start to generate some serious electricity! :clap::champion:

 

Ermmmm......not quite, Prime Minister.  They ....aaaahhh....don't work all that well when it is sunny.  :(  Still, there's plenty coal!  :hyper:

 

Britain fires up coal plant as weather becomes too hot for solar panels to work efficiently (telegraph.co.uk)

What kind of cheap ass solar panels does the UK use? Texas routinely gets over 40° in the summer and it’s the biggest solar power producer in the US.

    • Where did you get that?   I'm not sure I would have considered her to have dissapeared from out of nowhere, at least since after Tokyo... she did win medals at the next two World Championships. I think it's just recently, she's been struggling with injury which is why she's completely out of form... 
    • Even though I'm not the biggest fan of her, always sucks to see a career ending through injury and not on your own terms 
    • This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.
    • Mary Rand has died aged 86. The first British woman to win a Gold in track and field at the 1964 Tokyo Games (where she also took home a further two medals in the Women’s 4x100m relay and Pentathlon).
    • Athing Mu competed in the USA trials in 2024 and 2025 post the 2023 rule changes. She also won Gold in 2022 and Bronze in 2023.    Jelimo the jury is out. She doesn’t look male like the other two do.   
    • People focus on trans people because it's easier to pinpoint the affected athletes. Meanwhile it's the athletes with (suspected) DSDs that will have tougher time to convince the authorities and the public opinion that they belong to women's sports.
    • badminton queen Carolina Marin announced that she can't take part into the home Europeans in the upcoming weeks because of her injured knee and calls it a career 😭  
    • yes, there are (or there was, at least) don't forget that the women's 800m had world and olympic champions like Semenya, Jelimo and Nyonsaba...basically, it was 10 years of DSD winners only the same Athing Mu was suspected to be DSD (never confirmed, but somehow she totally disappeared after Tokyo) then, there were the 2 girls from Namibia (1 won a medal over 200m in Tokyo) in Italy we have the living scandal Valentina Petrillo (a paralympian!!!), who's actually a real man not to mention the weightlifter from who took part into the Tokyo Games so, it's a real problem all around the globe, not just a US crusade against a few woke idiots  
    • First big meet ofthe Outdoor Tour is the Maury Plant from Melbourne tomorrow morning.  Good few people from Poland last weekend have made the long plane trip to Oz.   https://worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-continental-tour/news/world-olympic-stars-maurie-plant-melbourne
