Boris: No Idea!
Ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been, appointed, as a presenter on GB News. It seems this channel gives jobs to washed-up, right-wing politicians. Take Nigel Farage, popular as he may have been or may still be, yet he never got, into parliament. Yet, he is the anchor of his show now.

"Though the Present Drowns in Blood": Johnny Got His Gun (1971)
The world is teetering, presently, on the edge of a vast precipice. The war in Israel, the bombing of Gaza, the new developments wherein Hezbollah and even Iran may become involved in a wider Middle Eastern conflict that threatens to pull in the United States, Russia, and China--these things are the new, grim reality that has exploded across the world stage since the barbaric terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas against 1,200 Israelis October 7th. World outrage has been focused so far on the brutal Israeli response. Likewise, the media propaganda machine is in full swing on behalf of the Israeli bombing of civilian targets in Gaza, in what can only be described as war crimes or crimes against humanity by the turning off of water, and electricity, the blockade of food, and medical supplies. Babies in incubators, in the hospitals (one of which was mysteriously shelled), will die when the power goes out. People are being told to flee. No one will accept them as refugees. They have nowhere to run that is safe as their neighborhoods and houses are reduced to rubble.
