Across the collective West unrest is growing. Hundreds of thousand in cities of many nations out in protest over the weekend, all with a different axe to grind but discontent being the universal message. Yet the MSM heehaws barely covered any of them. Spin no longer works so ignore it and hope it goes away seems to be the adopted way. What is clear is the unifying angst is not just towards politicians, who are viewed more and more as the impotent vassals of real power, unrest is directed to institutions that are failing because they are rudderless and corrupted. The whole edifice of control built up by a mafia of globalists is crumbling.
There is though one nation whose population appears to be lying down in submission and that is in Britain. I wonder where the backbone of the nation has gone, the descendants of the peasants revolt, the Jarrow marches, the poll tax protests, what has happened to the spirit of the British working class? Is it broken, have they given up and given in? I applaud those who have come out in support of Palestine, it is a good and just cause but why has protest against the suffering of their own been taken over by those brandishing hate inwards? It is the oldest trick in the book, divide to conquer. The state actors working in the shadows to orchestrate violence in order to ‘justify’ yet more Orwellian controls that contains and closes down real and meaningful protest.
The Sunday headlines in the UK are yet more cuts on the home front with a further six billion to be cut from welfare, not where the spending has grown out of control (the real cost of illegal immigration hidden in social security), the axe will fall again on the sick and the elderly. It is cuts dictated in the same week when they announce yet more billions to Ukraine. British people are being forced to pay for war games that regardless of the rhetoric out of No 10 has zero to do with them. They are not at risk by a manufactured adversary but from the policy makers behind the narrative. The Starmer government are not reacting to geopolitical events, they are using power gifted to them on a platform of lies for their own agenda. An agenda that is difficult not to surmise is a last ditch effort to breathe life into the dying globalist agenda and equally hard to dismiss the establishments role in the whole project as conspiracy.
What will it take before the British stand up and be heard as a unified group?, To enable their warmongering agenda the blob keeps coming for their money, do they have to come next for their children, to enlist them as fodder in a bloody fools game before they cry out?
As a Glaswegian would say ‘the games a bogey’, don’t let them fool you otherwise.

Join Alexander Mercouris Live Stream Today 1st April 2026 at 14:00 EST, 19:00 London time

We are now back to summer time in both the US and Europe so our Live Stream today is at our usual time in both regions.

Obviously the main topic for discussion will be the two wars: the one in the Middle East and the continuing one in Ukraine.

Trump is apparently intending to make some sort of national address later today but these often turn out to be underwhelming and will presumably happen after our Live Stream is ended. For the record, the pattern of US military build up continues and to my mind points to an intensification not a winding down of the war.

As for Ukraine, an interesting overview of the state of the war has been provided by a retired French general, with which I mostly agree. https://harpers.org/archive/2026/04/conflict-resolution-olivier-kempf-kyiv-ukraine-russia/. As it happens there has been a significant uptick in Russian advances over the last few days. Zelensky also claims that the Russians have given him via the Americans a 2 month ultimatum to withdraw...

Laura Ingraham, Fox News, asks; "Was Trump informed of the potential problems in a war with Iran"?
The question should be directed to Lindsey Graham and Tulsi Gabbard. Graham told Trump; You have to take Kharg Island. When you do, Iran will fold very quickly". Tulsi Gabbard? She probably has the easiest job at the White House. Just sit at her desk and collect a pay cheque. It is her job to inform Trump of all the info he needs.

Murdered by Israel:

The Houmin al-Tahta massacre: Sisters Nour and Hanan Mohammad Hamieh, along with their father and mother, were martyred in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the family home.

A massacre in the town of Houmine El-Tahta in south Lebanon, where an entire family was wiped out in a single moment. Mohammad Hammieh, his wife, and their two daughters, Nour and Hanan, were all killed in an Israeli enemy airstrike that targeted their home.

Tonight, four names are added to a growing list that the world skims past too quickly. Nour and Hanan: two little lights extinguished before they could even begin to shine. A mother and father whose only "crime" was believing their home was still a place of safety, while Zionist Israel violated the skies.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
