It's nothing to do with food, it's because some mouth breather choked on the toy inside.
Old news folks.
Kinder fixed that by packaging the egg with a toy on the outside.

Point out the recent big tech dinner Trump hosted, and after receiving massive donations from the likes of Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon etc; lots of their current legal issues have been resolved in their favour, or have just disappeared?

How much will it cost the Marxist Islamist Jewish New World Order to buy the presidency? I'll chip in with a fiver if they're short.

Chris Murphy is good.

Good example of something you make sure you do hammer- Trump as the tough guy taking on China. Noticeable how the "China" stuff has spread to the UK, now the Tories are in opposition. Now they consider it bad form to buy wind turbines and solar panels cheap from China, like there's some sort of secret device in them that can be turned off remotely or something.

All main indices have been flat, or thereabouts, with the Nasdaq and especially Nvidia being firmly in negative territory today. Gold is up 2.5%.

12-out-of-10, my arse.

Was that all bollocks? It was above my pay grade in terms of science- a wheelbarrow is above my pay grade in terms of science. I was suspicious though, given the prominence of a certain George Smith MP, who identifies as IDS.

I'm given to understand the Palantir stuff about the NHS is basically bollocks too. Do you know about that?

I can think of an MP who shills for gold being happy with that.

I hear USAF personnel here in the UK aren't getting paid because of the bizarre US Government "shutdown".

I can't believe that GCHQ weren't savvy enough to reverse engineer the firmware and find back doors in it; as for Palantir, no idea.

This looks interesting,

ABSTRACT
This article examines the controversy surrounding 5G in the United
Kingdom preceding the decision to remove Huawei from the UK network.
We analyse UK parliamentary debates from 2012–2020 against the backdrop
of tensions between the United States and China in the race for
global leadership in 5G technology. We identify four principal themes in
the UK parliamentary discourse: Huawei as innovator and collaborator;
a threat to national security; as undermining UK relations with its allies;
and embodying opposing values. We argue that the narrative shifts in the
UK government’s position towards Huawei correspond to Conservative
Party internal conflicts
on how to navigate the UK’s relationship with
Huawei in response to geopolitical pressures. We situate this changing
narrative within a political sinologism that is used to shape a negative
view of Huawei and China.

Let's hope that doesn't end in a Catch 22 situation. (No Spoilers).

Biden would be rude and disrespectful to his hosts. Trump's a maverick who does what he wants.
