The Independent went first and now the Graun's followed suit — after requiring an account to use their app after a certain number of views and a ruined CX with constant interstitial banners.</p><p>I'm sure most people just mash accept on cookie notices and so there'll be no consequence for them here, but this is dire.</p>
Juggling With Eggs<p>Here’s an example from the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Guardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Guardian</span></a> Live evening summary on the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SpringStatement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpringStatement</span></a>:</p><p>“The <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Labour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Labour</span></a> party is the party” of work, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Reeves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reeves</span></a> says.

Completely unhinged and cruel.</p>
RaymondPierreL3<p>In his article in the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Guardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Guardian</span></a>, Paul Taylor succinctly brings all the strings together into a skein and concludes with a hope:</p><p>“All this suggests that a de-facto European security council is already at work trying to limit the damage from Trump’s geopolitical wrecking ball and prevent a security vacuum in Europe. However, reports that his administration is also considering vacating the top Nato military post of Supreme Allied Commander Europe, which has embodied the transatlantic security guarantee since 1951 (with Eisenhower in the role), suggest the transition may be sudden, unilateral and chaotic rather than gradual, consensual and negotiated.</p><p>That would be a true stress test of whether Europeans can handle their own security in an increasingly lawless world of predatory great powers.”</p><p>My thinking is that the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EU</span></a> is a slumbering beast and like a sleeping dragon, will take its time waking up to find that half of its hoard has been lifted off in his slumbers. The idea that a selected group of <a href="https://aus.social/tags/European" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>European</span></a> countries might wake up earlier and reveal they are more effective outside the EU framework is both a boon (for the defence of Europe and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ukraine</span></a>) and a tragedy (as it may signal an impotent EU structure about to crumble). The fallout will be cathartic for Europe and the world IMO.</p>
RaymondPierreL3<p>I can’t believe that journalists and politicians ( as well as some of my friends) keep peddling the absurdity of comparing what the budget could achieve with the $400 billion plus we’d save from a cancelled <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AUKUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AUKUS</span></a> .<br> <br>Where were those peeps when the govt (of both persuasions) repeatedly pointed out that funding for <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SSNs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SSNs</span></a> would come out of committed defence budgets over the lifetime of the project?</p><p>Here is an example of this false equivalence from Josh Nicholas who writes for the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Guardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Guardian</span></a>: “Based on the 2025 budget, what could Australia buy for $46bn instead of one nuclear submarine?”</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2025/mar/25/based-on-the-2025-budget-what-could-australia-buy-for-46bn-instead-of-one-nuclear-submarine" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/news/ng-intera</span><span class="invisible">ctive/2025/mar/25/based-on-the-2025-budget-what-could-australia-buy-for-46bn-instead-of-one-nuclear-submarine</span></a>?</p><p>Peeps… If we cancelled AUKUS (as I believe we should) it can only mean Defence would have more discretionary funds to acquire other kit (like some French SSN for instance… just sayin’), there would be no ‘transfers’ of funds out of the Defence budget for progressive social policies.</p><p>If anyone is going to make any comparisons based on the assumed cost of AUKUS Tier One, let them compare apples with apples. Like the number of OPVs , tanks, or Fighter aircrafts, or landing crafts we could get instead.
