Hi Doc Sarvis:

There's so much unpacking to do about the UK side of this mess, I don't know where to begin.

~The Royal Family has been stung with scandals before, like Camilla Parker-Bowles, Lady Diana's harsh treatment.
~Separately, the UK government has suffered scandals: the Profumo Affair, the Cambridge Five.
~The late Queen reportedly knew about Andrew's sexual escapades with underaged nymphets.
~The Lord Chamberlain was a former director of MI5 and had the "ability to see around corners." But King Charles replaced this uber-competent man with a wealthy political hack when he assumed the throne.
~Inexplicably, the Royal Family hosted Dummkopf Trumpf last year. For what or whose benefit is anyone's guess.
~Then King Charles de-royalizes his younger brother, depriving him of all immunities and privileges.

To save the Royal Family, they have let go of a liability, namely Andrew.

During WWI, the UK Royal Family had to support a war against Cousin Willie (Kaiser Wilhelm) and then they refused to let cousin Nicky (Czar Nicholas II) into the UK after the Russian Revolution. The UK had their share of labor problems and the masses were unhappy with the war.

The difference between the UK and the US reactions may have to do with our system of government and responsiveness.

In the UK, the Royal Family can strip someone of their privileges on-two-three or Parliament can hold a vote of no confidence and snap elections are held.

In the US, we have to wait four years to kick a scoundrel out or try and convince the entire US Congress (both parties) to impeach him.

British longevity and tradition may play a part as well. The Brits survived much longer and more than us Americans. They gave us the Magna Carta and the British pound (along with the Japanese yen and the Russian ruble) are the oldest currencies in the world.

Two countries are described by historians as "experiments": America and the (secular) Turkish Republic. The same might be said of modern day Germany, but I haven't come across that.

The millennia-old United Kingdom that gave the world Shakespeare is certainly not an "experiment."

There is a drudge.com contributor with a British name 'GTBRIT' or somesuch who can probably speak more about this than me.


FTA:

"Xtend touts its drones as "low cost per kill", which has appealed to the warmongers in the bellicose Trumpf junta. In Nov 2025, the firm solidified a multimillion-dollar contract with the Pentagon but did not disclose the contract's value.

Xtend is an Israeli company whose products have been used during ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu's ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza which killed over 72,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children; maiming and wounding another 171,185, all in an area the size of Philadelphia, PA. Gaza

Drone maker Unusual Machines, which tapped Eric's brother Dummkopf Trumpf Jr in Nov 2024 as an adviser, is also investing in the merger. JFB builds commercial and residential properties, including multifamily communities and shopping centers.

This month, Xtend was among 25 companies selected to participate in the Defense Department's Drone Dominance Program, an acquisition reform effort designed to rapidly field low-cost, attack drones at scale.

Xtend also secured contracts with the Pentagon before Dummkopf Trumpf's second term, including an $8.8m deal in Dec 2024."


The Trumpf Crime Family: The most corrupt, vicious, greedy warmongering blighters to ever stalk the planet. "Board of Peace" indeed.

"The former aide to Ron DeSatan is the highest-paid adjunct professor at UF's Levin College of Law in at least a quarter century, according to compensation records dating back to 1997. His salary is eight times higher than what the median law school adjunct earns, and comes as the DeSantis administration leans on Florida's 40 public universities and colleges to justify their spending practices.

Combined with his attorney general paycheck, the under-whelming James Uthmeier's teaching stipend at this spectacular sinecure pushes his total state-funded salary to $240,000 " nearly $100,000 more than the governor's annual pay.

In his first year as attorney general, good-for-nothing Uthmeier has focused heavily on headline-grabbing lawsuits targeting corporate diversity programs and LGBTQ+ initiatives. Among them are cases accusing Starbucks of unlawful race-based hiring practices and alleging Target violated federal law through what his office described as "radical LGBTQ+ activism."

Florida is also the national leader in capital punishment and has been for decades. The Sunshine State houses the largest death row population in the country for states that continue executions. In recent years, Florida has consistently imposed the highest number of death sentences in the country. Ron DeSatan also wants more ICE gulags built in Florida. The Sunstate State has the some of the weakest gun laws in the US. In an average year, 3,172 people die and 6,358 are wounded by guns in Florida, like a warzone without a foreign enemy.
