Keir Starmer's government is planning to sacrifice the UK's hard power and one of its few naval bases of strategic importance on the altar of appeasing an international order that is rapidly dying. More in my substack 👇.

@brndxix This gif presents data from UK government sources. In 1950, 99% of the UK population was White. In London, that number was probably around 90-95%. They existed, but accounted for a statistically insignificant amount. Making the 2 main characters black is a strange one.

John Oliver gets a lot of underserved flak by leftists on this website. While he's far from ideal, he's probably the most consistent progressive voice you can find on mainstream TV. He does an incredible job selling leftist ideas to liberals without alienating them.

@O30946235 @Targ_Nation Because he's one of the most complex, interesting characters in ASOIAF. Many of us admire him for his resilience, sense of duty and honour, meritocracy (promoting Davos and Melisandra), dry wit and brilliant skills as a commander. He's not flawless, but nor are any of the others.

@queendreamfyr3 Because there were no tangible benefits from Viserys' perspective. As his eldest child and heir, Rhaenyra wasn't going to be betrothed to the son of a landless lord. She was going to be saved for one of the Great Houses, who are far wealthier and stronger than Otto.

@bratcent I'd go a step further. The real problem isn't ADOS, it's the question of whether the story can even be concluded in two books. GRRM originally wanted the story to end as a trilogy then that was expanded to 5 books. Who's to say that hasn't happened again and he needs 2 more?.

@_britmonkey Prestige. That's it. His wife is the daughter of an Indian billionaire. Money matters very little to them. However, becoming the PM of a G7 country carries a lot of influence and sway. Plus, it secures his place in the history books, whereas a tech job in California wouldn't.

@klamky @GardenSocialist Ah, right, because the faux legal terminology used by people on Ellis Island 100 years ago is the leading authority on what constitutes being White.

@brndxix The only figure I could find online about the 250K black soldiers was about American servicemen, most of whom immediately moved into Europe during D-Day. The US joined WW2 in Dec 1941, several months after the Blitz ended in May 1941, so, again, that's not relevant to this movie.
