Starmer might have assumed we're old enough to decide for ourselves, Hard Left, Hard Right or standing in the Centre - its our choice. Plus, I want to watch ReformUK crash & burn, at the next GE. What has Starmer achieved for working ppl, versus, what ReformUK has achieved.....for anybody!
Its pathetic, but there's only one reason people are so upset about our 'Roots'.
It was never about illegal migrants, it'll be Farage & co redirecting your tax payments.
So, while I'm waiting for illegal immigrants to stab and/or rape me - everyone else thinks Farage will be our next PM!!!! Anyone who endured Tory welfare reforms will know that Farage is even worse than they were, he'll be a death sentence for sick & disabled ppl
My generation had too many motherless/fatherless children, 1 or 2 in each classroom - & it was often terminal cancer. But science tho, yuk!
Gosh, they must getting loads & loads of complaints! I've quit the TV, because it was the only way I could keep my BP under control.
Isn't it his job to dig out information - a Trumper would shout that the troops will just be doing their jobs, akshully! But now that point has been covered. And no, the troops won't just be doing their jobs.
That made me laugh - stop it!
The public response would be much more positive if the virus formed large, pus filled boils, on the faces of infected people. It'd shut up a lot of those 'celebrities', apart from their 'We Demand a Vaccine' protests
Maybe little Donnie has been sedated - by SOMEONE!
Amazing that no one else thought of that......
I don't usually have the energy to act aggressively, but id rather die objecting to these filthy racist attacks, than accept them as the norm.
I'm a wholemeal seeded kind of girl - can't eat the cheap doughy white bread she seems to like - or is this not really about bread?
Its all just so UGLY! I find it odd how older people complain about 'them' - but never comment on 'them' saving their lives in a hospital. And they do, every day!
'....to kick asylum seekers out....' Surely that headline was stolen from The Sun!!! Altho, I'm surrounded by Brexit supporting racists who, just so happen, to read the Mail, so.... DM: 'This Is What You Should Think' The Beeb does it too, BBC: 'This Is What's Really Happening' (trust us)
I AM the worse off! - and I survived the Tory govts numerous attempts to destroy me. I'm as keen as every other disability benefit claimant, to have enough food & pay my bills.
Thats your guess, I have more faith in this Labour govt. I can't offer guarantees, because nobody knows if a rumoured govt initiative will be enacted - but, the NHS hasn't been privatised & disabled people aren't dying by their hundreds....parliament is functioning as it should.
Its not govt policy (yet)- its gossip. But, as you pointed out, only one group of people will suffer the consequences of this 'initiative' - and its not the landlords! Reeves will know that.
I can't imagine a man like Trump accepting a terminal health diagnosis - he's far too special for a mere 'death'. But is won't stop his power hungry colleagues joyfully anticipating his end. 'My word, you do look queer!' Monologue
The face masking of cowardly thugs - do they feel shame, or fear? Remember, the executioner was masked too.
Farage telling us 'we' need to leave the ECHR, after the Tories failed to make us leave the ECHR - then.....
Man of the people - and he probably has multiple £millions stashed in a posh bank - somewhere. He was even selling personal messages, to keep his coffers full - why can't his supporters see Farage only helps himself (to other people's money)!
One small step - but, I thank our govt.
Non licence payer here, requesting a clip of his comment, because - Malcolm Rifkind?????
OMG the hilarity! www.facebook.com/share/v/1ZPq...
Absolutely, Claire - I have no idea who they are, but - it must be a difficult role to simply slot yourself into.
The general population of the UK does have a life, and its isn't filled with the toxic hatred of right whingers (if radio & TV are turned off). If we silence their voices, who would they shout at? Each other......?
Yes, its pure, undiluted, racism - but, do you think ReformUK can see that yet? Or, maybe, females abused by white men are invisible - by jove, I think I've got it!
All the vulnerable boys & girls, sexually abused by our own white men - *silence* Women raped & beaten by white men - *silence* Yet brown migrants are BAD!!! All violence against women & girls is bad, who the hell cares about the abusers skin tone. 'But, migrants are really, REALLY, BAD!'
Let's hope they ensure towns have the infrastructure to absorb new developments - and that the new homes benefit young, low paid, families. Sorry, its just frustrating to see so many Exclusive Developments built, but barely any social housing.
Farage, still trying to win his beloved Trump's affections...embarrassing Farage needs to accept that Trump has moved on, and he needs to let him go. He should buy some land in Scotland - far away from golf courses, and farm goats. Or donkeys? Love hurts
In medieval times, they'd be crowding in to watch a 'witch' burn to death. Or a young woman getting her head chopped off. Education is wasted on some people. To asylum seekers, I'm sorry.
The Environment agency, supported by govt? Apart from that, isn't he a miserable old whinger!!!
Absolutely!
Thank you! The reality. They can stick that in their Fa-Rage & smoke it!
Well, if a green party co leader says so - then it must be true! I guess she thinks the same about the Libdem leader - he's also making the far right bold again.
Yes!!!!! The f/right are pathetic cowards, scared of everything and everybody. They want us all to live in their nightmares What's the betting they leave their bedroom light on at night.
He explained that Connolly continued making vile comments about migrants or, she didn't know when to keep her mouth shut. Jones, it seems, made a single vile comment (yes, it was disgusting) and was arrested too. Connolly just isn't very bright.
Hope he likes stakes.....
What response was Wooton anticipating - that science is protecting individuals from deadly diseases. Or, that science is killing people, because.......?
Did you actually read, and understand, that FullFact report. It's okay to dig up any old info & claim its evidence of evil acts - but 'context' plays a vital role here. Maybe you can describe the other parties approach to immigration, please.
How many hospitals has Israel lost, since this 'war' started?
That's the best you could dig up?
'You racists' - do you spend your whole day shouting at everyone else, as if you're solving the global problem of asylum seekers? Maybe, if the US stopped bombing other countries - everyone can be left to live peacefully in their own homes! But then, what would you do with your time?
Yes, and the Tories shut down every safe option. But legality won't stop desperate people - I'd probably keep trying to get to the UK, if thats where I have connections.
The govt wants to make it easier for disabled/long term sick people to return to work. Do you think people really want to spend their entire lives with no achievement & nothing to aim for? (And severely disabled people will lose nothing)
And a legal route, on its own, will reduce the number of asylum claims. Would you accept a rejection for asylum in the UK, or would you make your own (hazardous) journey here?
You're the only one who cares? Legal routes are urgently needed, but will that stop the hazardous boat crossings? No! The groups of immigrants hiding in toxic lorries? No! The desperate people hiding in the wheels of aircraft? No! We need affordable legal routes, and we WILL get them.
Exactly what I was going to type - but it reminds us not to be complacent
Ooh, I know this one - if frail people can lift an empty cardboard box off a table, then there's sod all wrong with them. Next! PS. Americans don't ever stop fighting back!
And The Left is pulling the country in the extreme opposite direction The last 15 years hasn't been about 'the vulnerable' or 'the needy', its been a tug of war between two extreme ideologies - that eventually burned themselves out.
So, there's selective evidence? And please don't assume I haven't done my own research.
Another ignorant, brainless comment - are you from The Left?
Really????? So everyone aiming to find a stable & credible leader is - not a very nice person? Its comments like these that made me reject The Left! They're just so bloody ignorant!
Evidence? Thank you.
My attention was drawn to this post - just after I posted my objection to The Left blaming everyone else for their failures. The Left & The Right, determined to blame everyone else for hating their fantasy politics.
So, where is The Left, and who leads The Left? And don't say everyone was mean to them, so they had to abandon their party Like the Tories, its non stop excuses, blaming everyone else for their own failures, instead of focusing on the obstacles for their (non existent) party's electoral success
And overseas trading has been terminated. What's it called, a pariah state?
Kyles got no empathy, no compassion & (as already mentioned - several times) he's a nasty little bully. And those 'qualities' made him a very rich man - I'd rather be poor, personally.
The thought of them blending back into their, or any, neighbourhood makes my skin crawl!
The way they humiliate fully adult men/women, who have a family waiting for them to return - is a method that belongs in the 1940's. I can't bear to watch. Unmask the cowardly thugs, Americans need to know what they look like - deny them the luxury of anonymity.
Its sickening to watch - and if ICE really was hunting down violent criminals, the 'officers' would have been shot dead months ago. Or their beaten bodies discovered in a rubbish bin. They can only swagger their fat little bodies, because they're kidnapping innocent people. Easy money.
The councils challenging hotels accommodating migrants in courts? You are going to pay for it. 👇
Shakespeare did okay - and what about that diary writing chap, Sam Pepys? Bring back bad English, I say, when writers were just Great
Christ. I mean, why not just suggest adding phrenology to the points based immigration system?
Melanin makes people do bad stuff - destroy melanin!!!!
People tend to say hello & ask if you're alright - so I'm training myself to respond with 'Yes, I'm fine' - instead of carefully considering whether I really am alright. Because nobody wants to hear a serious response! I'm fine.
I love the Eyebrow Language, Eyebrows never lie!
He's probably got a few broken ribs now - with 4/5 lardy males diving on top of him. Where do they learn to 'detain' people like that?
I can't even begin to understand the electricity claim - how? My annual dual fuel bill isn't that much - so, how? Oh, right - she's not the bill payer! Now I understand it. Almost.
I think the Conservative govt aged many of us.
🤣
Toried almost made my young family destitute, in the 90's(?). Home owning & astronomical interest rates destroyed quite a few families, who tried to do the 'right thing'. Remember that, young people - don't trust the Tories!
I remember her crafting programme, and the price of the arty stuff she bought. Crafting isn't intended to be a luxury hobby - so mine is strictly budget friendly. What's the point, otherwise? Vile woman, I'm sick of hearing about her!
She's certainly a good advert for a return to natural beauty - only enhanced by a good, kind soul
And yet, Starmer ended up increasing public support for Palestine - its hard to believe the PM didn't know that would happen.
😂😂 - The Onion
Oh, the post has been deleted!
I'm in the minority too, then!!! Who would begrudge refugees somewhere to shelter, & a fair hearing for asylum? Surely not the Labour party!
Oh, he's only doing that to get the NHS privatised.....right? Or, is that not happening now? ;)
Oh my! Look at how big & strong he is!! See, you don't need height to be the BIG MAN!
What if the added drama is deliberate, to demonstrate that the world is on Ukraines side, & minimum support for Russia.....? I hate it too, but it might have a purpose.
It's said that if you laugh before breakfast, you'll cry befor supper - so now my day is heading into total misery. Thanks!
'An employer with their brain in the right place' Dare I ask where the wrong place is? That kind of comment belongs in the 1970's, doesn't it, like our Nige. And I aint going back there!

Get yourself elected into an opposition party, and then you can keep the PM in line. You can tell him what he 'needs' to do, and what he doesn't 'need' to do, yourself. I
One of the many things I hate, and have always hated! People can spend £hundreds on a cooker, but then cook sausages with stinky stuff in the garden!
I also believe sick pay is too low, for long term support - for an NHS diagnosed health issue. The Tories destroyed me, so I'll never accept that sick ppl can be beaten into good health & fitness.
So, no death policies yet? I believe the PM has heard the objections to welfare cuts & will act accordingly. But, employment prospects for young disabled ppl shouldn't just get dumped. They deserve to be encouraged towards a career, with state support.
Reminder: The United States is a religious freedom nation. We can’t and won’t be told by the government how to pray.
Which current Labour welfare cut is the most damaging?
In the UK we had a campaign against single mothers - about how irresponsible they are, and that the govt should stop supporting them. Can we teach birth control to the boys? Imagine them considering their options, while sowing their wild oats. Oh, but boys will be boys.....
Ah, now you're stealing my lines - sent to another fool who decided Dorset dwellers watch BBC political shows and that I'm a Tory voter. Anyway, a word of advice, you've got at least10yrs to attack Starmer, so pace yourself.
But Corbyn failed, there's no point in him getting the biggest vote, if he (still) couldn't beat the Tories! And, if Corbyn had become PM, he'd struggle to sort this country out too.
I bought the same style for my princess - now she sleeps on the spare bed. I'm guessing the memory foam mattress is the problem, makes her too hot. Take note, dog owners!
What happens if they refuse to carry out orders? Is the punishment worse? Would I disobey? Yes, probably.
I see you bought her a nice comfy bed.....
Trump really wants his Nobel peace prize - because it was all theatre. And the media must think Trump deserves it too! Showman or conman?
I can't help thinking about the damage caused to the victims cervical spine, caused by that whack to the back of the neck. They're wearing enough armour to survive world war3 - but nasty words & bread are a threat?
I remember asking, once, how ordinary Israelis could live in homes that were built over the remains of slaughtered Palestinians. It might have been expected in medievil times, but now, in a 'civilised' society? But, of course, thats what Israel does, shamelessly.
