A lot can change in 4 years. 4 years ago Johnson was PM and I don't remember anyone predicting that the next PM would be Truss or that we would have 4 PMs in the next 4 years.
Who compiled these odds? I would have thought the bookies would want to lay off the possibility of progressive alliance headed by someone who is not right of Atilla The Hun.
Politics is just a grift nowadays, they don't even bother to cover their tracks Johnson always came across as a born comman.
Or "How did stopping legal immigration from EU and ceasing to be part of the Dublin Treaty work out? Do you take responsibility for the resultant small boats?"
Walking to the supermarket isn't just frugal it's healthy and green too!
"Attack, attack, attack; admit nothing, deny everything; always claim victory" are three rules of "winning" attributed to the lawyer Roy Cohn, who mentored the young DonaldTrump. If you haven't seen it, watch the 2024 film "The Apprentice"
It's very concerning that a significant percentage of the electorate believe that he is a person fit to hold public office, let alone be prime minister. Let us hope that he is exposed as the charlatan and crook that he appears to the rest of us to be sometime in the next couple of years.
There is also this strange lady who seems to have a thing for right-wing nutters.
They will always be The UKIPs to me
Makes sense
Where are the soldiers who the barracks were built for going to live then?
No shit sherlock!
Just in case anyone is in any doubt about the fate that awaits any LGBT+ people departed to Afghanistan...
"Germany are already doing it" replied Mr Mosely news.sky.com/story/farage...
I do hope that when they are arrested they apologise and claim it has never happened before.
Blimey, I didn't know what you were talking about so I googled it and am now wondering if it was created by AI just for shits and giggles.
Ah yes, messrs Murdoch, Rothermere and of course Putin.
Interesting take - how so? There are plenty of female ghouls in the media who would gladly hound her out of office too.
"Brexit has freed us" declares Mandelson. When are the Starmer cultists going to admit that LABOUR IS A BREXIT PARTY? news.sky.com/story/mandel...
I'm still trying to figure out why he wasn't arrested, tortured, and sent to a labour camp without trial upon return from US seeing as UK is now North Korea.
I have seen him interviewed on podcasts sympathetic to his views and have concluded that he is mentally ill, with severe paranoia and persecution complex, and that those who interview him are just capitalising on his sickness. That doesn't mean he's not an utter cunt mind.
Farage loves immigrants, but only the rich tax dodging ones. And they love him. They even pay him handsomely. He doesnβt care what colour they are as long as they are rich. Thanks to Farage they live in a world without borders. The freedom of movement he stole from us, he sells to the rich. β¬οΈβ¬οΈβ¬οΈβ¬οΈβ¬οΈβ¬οΈ
I stopped watching and listening to BBC news in the run-up to the referendum as it was so depressing listening to expert views being "balanced" by ill-informed liars. And as for their platforming of the Tufton St mafia...
I didn't use the word criticised, I said that they mocked it. Which is not something that an impartial journalist would do before a party has had a conference or announced any policies - unless they were diametrically opposed to the values of a new socialist party.
I think you might call that a socialist fashion accessory rather than the classical Russian sable hat that Newsnight photoshopped. As an aside, I once (rather ill-advisedly) purchased a pair of leather trousers but alas they didn't transform me into Jim Morrison.
The Corbyn episode was to draw fire away from criticism then foreign secretary Boris Johnson over the Salisbury incident when he lied about Porton Down identifying the Novichok used as originating in Russia. Corbyn had the temerity to call for the OPCW to investigate.
She stayed for 20 years!
She wasn't fired, she left of her own accord to join Global in 2022. In 2020 she had taken the piss out of Cummings for the eye-sight driving thing during covid, for which she was suspended for 1 episode of Newsnight! After she left she criticised the BBC but she took their shilling for 20 years
She's an establishment stooge, don't fall for her schtick. She and that other ghoul Sopel were mocking the very idea of Corbyn/Sultana's new party on their labour cult podcast recently.
Yes And I also remember the edition she hosted that photoshopped a Russian hat onto Jeremy Corbyn. BBC have been Tory stooges for more than 10 years.
Cummings would have blamed his eyesight and Dominic Green would have claimed someone hacked his Pornhub account.
They even have us driving on the left. And have you noticed how they make us pronounce "lieutenant?"
The dedication required to train as, say, a nurse, is totally at odds with the the entitled, resentful, lazy approach and lack of empathy of simply blaming immigrants and particularly asylum seekers for their perceived lack of opportunity.
Yes that's true. Covid conspiracy, transphobia, islamaphobia, then outright racism was the path my erstwhile friend took.
And as the birth rate falls more immigration will be required to provide public services, so it makes much more sense to embrace them with gratitude than to resent them for "taking our jobs" when we have neither the skills or the inclination to train for those jobs.
It's extremely difficult when family members are radicalised isn't it? I have a long-standing friend who has gone over th the dark side. At first I tried to argue and persuade him, but when he put a flag up I gave up
Fuck-Face used his free speech to convince people that stopping Polish plumbers coming here would make them better off so they voted for brexit. Now they are worse off and he's blaming brown immigrants and encouraging them to riot. He wouldn't get away with it in North Korea. #Traitor
My POS brother in law, who has never done an honest day's work, and loves Reform almost as much as he loves Stella Artois, when in hospital for a self-inflcted alcohol-related condition, had the temerity to complain that none of the staff saving his worthless life were British!
No, but I have some better - if less salubrious- words that describe him
And it's almost impossible to recruit from outside of the immigrant community, so thair being here is win-win.
By all means talk about rapes and murders that are statistically far more likely to be carried out by non-immigtants. Prove me wrong.
Fuck-Face is in US saying that UK has become North Korea. So I guess he won't be returning to face incarceration, torture and death in a labour camp. Who will represent the poor oppressed gammon of Clacton now?
So there are unscrupulous employers who break the law. I still don't see how that is the fault if immigrants.
Exactly. Non-immigtants don't want minimum-wage jobs in the service industry. It's got nothing to do with "conditions" it's to do with money and perceived status. The law obliged employers to provide fair and equitable conditions of employment.
Saying they are "willing to be exploited" sounds a lot like victim blaming, shame on you. They are not "willing" they are forced by circumstances not of their own making. Blame the perpetrators of capitalism not its victims.
Then it is time the authorities did proper checks and the employers were sent to prison. Either way there is no excuse to demonise the immigrants.
Rubbish it's because most white British people believe it is below them to clean toilets in the middle of the night
And part of the campaign to smear and demonise immigrants.
I'm not talking about the black economy, I am taking about the hundreds of thousands of people working in the legitimate and essential support services, without whom the city could not function.
Rubbish, the vast majority work TFL, corporate commercial landlords, fast food chains, facilities and maintenance companies etc, not for Arthur Daley Enterprises or Trotter Traders.
Anyone who has ever caught a night bus into Central London at 3.00am realises that there is an army of workers cleaning, maintaining, and catering the city they work in, and they are almost exclusively immigrants. Same goes for NHS. We owe them a debt of gratitude not racist vilification.
"We are talking about human beings" is probably the most important few words of that interview. I'm sick to the stomach of people saying that asykum seekers don't deserve to be allowed a dignified existance.
Luckily we are ships that pass in the night, I am not working alongside them as such, we just come into contact occasionally. I hate to imagine the conversations they have when I'm not around, they hold back around me for sure.
As you say, they had invented the idea that it was illegal to fly a flag so they could moan about their oppression. I am so tired of it.
They just think I'm a weirdo. Another one was boasting that he had ordered a flagpole on Amazon for his roof, and said "just let them try taking it down" and I pointed out that they wouldn't be trying anything of the sort because "they" were only removing flags from public property like lamposts.
I actually said that finding a flag that celebrates a Syrian-born saint (who is venerated by Christianity and Islam alike) "glorious" was very inclusive and distinctly woke.
One came into work the other day and said that the sight of English flags on an M25 motirway bridge had been "glorious" and I thought this is what radicalisation looks like.
I have workmates who I swear have never been prevented from doing anything lrgal, who have become obsessed with being prevented from flying their flags that 1) they are not being prevented from flying and 2) they never expressed interest in flying before all this bollocks kicked off.
No "might" about it I'm afraid. His anti-immigrant rhetoric and daily tweets about deportation, plus suspension of family reunion applications are sickeningly far-right.
She has already suspended family reunion applications. The ECHR guarantees the right to a family life. That is not interpretation, it's the withdrawal of a basic right.
It's impossible to disagree with any of this. [SOUND ON π]
"Norway has become a global leader in using seaweed farms as a dual solution for climate change and sustainable energy. Seaweed, unlike land crops, does not require freshwater, fertilizer, or arable land to grow, making it one of the most eco-friendly resources" via The Knowledge Factory
Starmer stokes the fires of racism every day with fis anti-immigrant tweets and devicive rhetoric. Cooper is talking about suspending the ECHR and they are both draping themselves in the flag. Brvaerman could not have done a better job of condoning the fash protests.
I didn't vote for them in 2024 for the first time in my life. As a former member I saw how ruthless and authoritarian Starmer was and was appalled at the lies he told and promises he reneged on to win the leadership.
Pedro Sanchez, Spain's socialist prime minister, refuses to give an inch to fascist Vox while the "conservative" Partido Popular lurch further to the right and are willing to enter into coalition with them. Meanwhile the establishment media conduct smear campaigns against him. No pasarΓ‘n
He only has four MPs (this week), and Reform councillor numbers are dropping like flies. Labour is tying themselves in knots pursuing people who aren't going to vote for them. They should be laughing at Farage and Reform's failures at every opportunity instead of taking them seriously.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social congratulations. Richly deserved xx
Congratulations @zackpolanski.bsky.social What a leadership team! Great thinks to come! #Greens #GreenParty
Congratulations to Zack, Mothin and Rachel, what a fantastic team! Onwards and upwards! #Greens #GreenParty
Disgusting
Unless they can prove that they are unable to pay then continuing to withhold payment when ordered to by the court will result in them being jailed. If the knuckle-dragging racists want to do time then I won't stand in their way.
I live next door to a MHO housing asylum seekers it has never caused me the slightest concern. It's a high-crime area of London, but not because of them. In fact they are far more likely to be the victims of crime than the perpetrators as they are not necessarily streetwise in a big city.
Are you still here? You admitted Sunak is English, why are you still banging on? Shame I will have to block you, if I wanted to be bombarded with racist nonsense I would have stayed on Twitter.
Murdoch without a doubt. He is the roots of the tree of which Trump is but the poisonous fruit.
Hopefully that will remain an interesting thought experiment
Wow, you are really nasty when forced to accept a basic truth like "Sunak is English." No wonder you like watching those juvenile right-wing pseudo-intellectual bigitted twats on Triggernometry. Good day and good luck with journey to fascism.
You have already agreed with me that Sunak is English. Everything else is just noise.
So far yes, but unfortunately the only way the "conservative" Partido Popular will get a majority is in coalition with fascist Vox party, hence the PP are moving ever furher right, and if they form a coalition it will be "sink the boats" Abascal not the weak, ineffectual Feijoo in the driver's seat
Meanwhile Netanyahu murders the Huthis PM and Putin tries to murder the head of the EU - war crimes galore under Trumps Pax Americana...
You've already agreed that Sunak is English so I don't know what it is you are arguing about now.
"can you check the bin? The farage is starting to whiff"
Finally. So you agree Sunak is English. Kisin doesn't. Because he's a racist. It wasn't that hard in the end, was it?
People who qualify for citizenship of NI by birth or decent are automatically deemed Irish and entitled to Irish passport and the right to reside in Ireland. There were 60 years of The Troubles and the GFA to prove it so. If you understand the GFA will understand how offensive your assertion is.
I am confused. By your definition am I Welsh or Eastern European? Is Sunak English or Indian?
Eh? Well there is a conundrum for you. On my passport it says "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland." So do Irish people not pass your ethnicity test? Are people born north and south of the Irish borders separate ethnicities? Your logic, like Kisin's, is bonkers
I always suspected there was a technical name for bin juice!
Great Britain didn't win the 2nd World War, it was a victory of the Allies over the Axis powers. 5 times as many Indians died in WWIl than UK- born, but why acknowledge the succes or sacrifice of brown people?
I'm as Welsh as Shirley Bassey my friend. I also speak Welsh and have represented Wales at sport. I am proud to have Welsh friends of colour. Because I'm not a racist. I also (whisper it) have Welsh friends with English ancestry! But they are OK with me because I'm not a racist.
I was born in Wales yet my ancestry is E European Jewish. When I represented Wales in competitive sport I had a teammate whose parents were Italian immigrants Are we not Welsh? Or are we ok because we are white? You cannot prove you are not a racist just by saying more racist things.
Are you saying that Colin Jackson isn't Welsh and that Linford Christie isn't English? Or Idris Elba? Or Any poc?
If you don't understand that logic I am sorry but you are a racist, you just haven't realised it yet.
Yes. That's the point. Nationality based on ethnicity is racist. Like in the 1979s when black footballers started playing for England and racists said "they cannot be English, they're black." Are you saying they were not racist to say that? Because that makes you as racist as them.
No, he says that a brown Hindu cannot be described as English, specifically in the case of Rishi Sunak as an example. And why in earth would he describe himself as non-white? He's Caucasian
I have sent you a clip to the whole section of the Inteevie. If you want the entire episode which is an hour and a half long it is here youtu.be/dhdnZEZl1pk?...
Kisin and his sidekick pretend not to be far right but occasionally the mask slips.
2.16 minutes in. youtu.be/Ei2_zQLg9Lg?...
Just because you enjoy watching him doesn't mean you you have to agree with everything he believes. I hate Fraser Nelson's politics but I'm this occasion I agree with his contention that everyone born in England is English despite their ancestry. Kisin directly and clearly states that he does not.
1.20 in he says of Rishi Sunak "He's a brown Hindu, how is he English?" And argues in detail why he believes that being born in England doesn't make you English. If that's not far-right racism what is?
