#RedReform
Labour and Reform. Same racist shit with slightly different packaging.
Labour making huge strategic error. It is not Reform taking their votes, it is the pro-European parties (Grn+LD+SNP+PC). Voting intention of GE2024 Labour voters*: Lab 54% Grn 12% LD 13% Ref 9% Con 6% SNP 1% PC 1% oth 4% Loss to pro-EU = 27% Loss to pro-Brexit = 15% (*YG 25-26 August)
After fucking up their economic/sound govt credentials with Brexit, Johnson and Truss, all the Tories had left were bigotry and racism, which fascist Reform do better. And Starmer's Labour has more far right shittery about them than the Tories ever had even with Thatcher. So what are the Tories for?
Scottish slavers = Scots are evil and wicked in perpetuity English slavers = well, it was a very long time ago, and anyway, they had good reasonsโฆ something about the French or some other dodgy foreigners
I guess this is what we're going to have to get used to... NHS Worker (and British citizen of Filipino origin) with 15 years of service abused whilst walking with her family in W Yorkshire. She's leaving the country and I'm sorry. The tone from the top is always heard at the bottom.
All that is left within the Labour party is narcissism. Full stop.
Kendall, Reeves, Starmer ... sucking up to billionaires ignoring logic, and probably taking brown envelopes full of money under the table ... not voting labour untill these monsters of Narcissism are off the benches... PERIOD !
The strange death of liberal England. Entitlement. Need for admiration. Belief in superiority. Frequent fantasies about having or deserving. Grandiose sense of self-importance. Lack of empathy. Frequent envy. Willingness to exploit others. #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder

In the current dystopia, nihilism seems a rational approach.
With Brexit and Trump, Russia won the Cold War. The downward spiral now has an inevitability.
โฆ and again gleefully promoted by the BBC. BBC R4 Today programme was a disgrace the other day, openly pushing anti-ECHR propaganda.
Only problem being that Starmer is pro-Brexit, so hasnโt got a leg to stand on.

They could celebrate the contribution that refugees and asylum seekers make, or acknowledge that refugees are generally fleeing persecution or violence not coming here to ride a gravy train. Instead Starmer & Cooper use the same narratives as the far right. I expected better of them.
Apart from anything else, it is worth pointing out that without Filipino workers, England would starve to death. Domestic agriculture produces a fraction of what the country consumes, so she is dependent on imports, almost all of which arrives by maritime routes. Maritime collapses without Filipinos
Keir Starmer and Labour should be proactive calling this out, but they're so damn scared of losing a Reform vote they were never going to win. What is going on with this strategy of pandering to the far right, and is Morgan McSweeney just there as a Tory plant to wipe them out?
Scotland was going to introduce such a scheme, but Westminster blocked it.
Terrifying. The thought of Farage, a man who has spent years polluting and manipulating British political and media discourse despite having no domestic electoral mandate at all (Clacton hardly changes that), suddenly sweeping into power is terrifying.
itโs ironclad folks
๐ Today, @Keir_Starmer is doing the same - but worse - in plain sight. โ ๏ธ By sneaking US trade concessions into law via Statutory Instruments, Starmer embeds binding changes before any treaty is ratified.
But he is. By surreptitiously using Brexit โEnabling Actโ powers to hard-wire an illegal US deal into our legal architecture, Starmer is attacking the foundations of democracy. No CRaG, no TAC, no debate just executive diktat.
โTruth and justiceโ and โthe American wayโ are opposing forces.
โNext on the list is John Armitage, a hedge fund manager reported to have interests worth more than $500m in United Health โ the largest healthcare insurer in the US. Armitage has bankrolled Streeting, including for โstaffing costsโ, to the tune of ยฃ95,000 since 2022.โ
What other bits of Labourโs victorious GE2024 election platform were said without conviction? The electorate has a right to know.
All the tech bros vaccinate themselves. Obviously. They just donโt want us plebs getting it. Part of their final solution to planetary overpopulation.
I meant that we have been subjected to psychological warfare, election interference and all the other tools available to MI5 and their fellow travellers.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Russia is attempting to destabilize Germany, including targeting its infrastructure, and therefore Berlin is in direct conflict with Moscow.

The Polaris, and now the Trident, treaties make the UK a vassal state of the USA. And never forget that there are 14 US military bases in England. Officially they are there for defence, but any student of history knows how dictatorships use the military for other purposes.

The country:
Because the retards are retarded. Who knew?
Something strangely pleasing about the prospect of all those torn and tattered sadflags sagging come January. Very symbolic.
I had exactly this conversation with a neighbour this evening. I'd gone to enquire about the big flagpole we can now see over the gardens. The sun is setting on the UK. It's sad. #LittleEngland

Britain, or mostly England, will never be a big global player again. The days of that are gone long gone and the country (England not Scotland or Ireland) must now become used to being rule taker, not maker. Itยดll be much easier all around if that position is accepted, dealt with.
Starmerโs u-turn on abolishing FPTP has pretty much guaranteed that the racists and Brexit arsonists will win the next general election. (In England, which is of course the only bit that counts.)
Itโs the โspilling overโ bit that worries me. All of these guys have vast arsenals of nuclear warheads.
By electing Donald Trump, America surrendered. Russia and China won the Cold War. Now brace for the Hot War. The tech bros have a solution to planetary overpopulation. If youโre lucky, youโll be near the epicentre and just evaporate. But for the unlucky survivorsโฆ #NuclearHolocaust #NuclearWinter
Indeed, that old euphemism: โthis countryโ.
Politicians studiously avoid using the words โEnglandโ or โEnglishโ for 50 years, and then feign surprise when the English people eventually get a bit fed up with the insult. (Winston Churchill was constantly saying England and English, as was pretty much everyone else. But expunged 1970s onwards.)
Starmer could drop Theresa Mayโs red lines immediately, if he wanted to. He doesnโt want to. The red lines are now Starmerโs red lines.
Excellent book. Ought to be compulsory reading on Englandโs national curriculum.
English are fucking stupid reactionary dipshits.
Gordon Brown vetoed the Euro adoption. Blair wanted to. ID cards are a no brainier. Theyโll be introduced very soon. Current situation untenable.
"Join" is not the only alternative to the current hard Brexit. Lots of other Brexits are compatible with the refewrendum. It is Labour's "Make Brexit Work" and idiotic Brexit red lines that will keep Brexit hard until we can #GOTL - get rid of Starmer's gang of fearful Blue Labour time wasters.
In order to scrap Brexit, we first need to scrap Starmer well before the next election.
Very interesting about the Baltic Sea/ 'NATO lake' and importance of EU membership to Lithuania. Makes the 'brexit' even more annoying though (and the strange unanimity of UK media attack on Starmer and promotion of russophile Farage) Thanks too for foregrounding the Holocaust.

Lobbying. Ministers are, quite literally, being bought.
If domestic relationships "aren't relevant" (they are), then why did you tweet about Rishi Sunak's wife's financial interests? archive.ph/JUE3e
Quality of life is higher in the EU.
They wouldnโt now. Thatโs why thereโs no second referendum.
A majority of people in Scotland voted to continue being the property of England. A bunch of geniuses.

We all hate the world they created.
And also was around in the war. Very few of that generation were pro Brexit. Although support for Brexit increased the older you were, that tailed off when you got to the oldest cohort who knew WHY we wanted Europe united.
Please show support for my idea of a new English flag. It should hopefully remove the aggressive feeling that the cross of St George gives off. It's a brexit unicorn standing proud on a blue field, with gold stars representing the EU nations all around us.
Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.
Only problem being that it is the red lines which are crushing trade and hence the public finances. Plummeting public spending is going to endear Labour to no-one. Well, I suppose Thatcherites might like it, if thatโs still a thing.
The SNP and Plaid Cymru are big players in their respective countries, but the Lib Dems and Greens are minuscule in England (and even more minuscule in Scotland and Wales). Either the Lib Dems or the Greens make an historic breakthrough in England, very soon, or the UK is history.
We wonโt have to worry about it for much longer. Trump and Farage are soon going to replace FPTP. The only problem being that what they replace it with is not a voting system.
Poking them mildly amuses me. Only mildly mind.
Misused by the Russia clan.
And not fighting and losing isnโt stupid. Erโฆ ok.
Reform Radio (aka BBC Today) now echoing calls to scrap the ECHRโฆ Have we truly lost the plot? The traitor farage peddles betrayal, legacy media nods along, and voters cheer the dismantling of their own protections. The Guardian of our rights is under siege, and the crowd demands the wrecking ball

Brexit brain rot.
Sheโs partly English, so she can use that flag if she likes.
I assume most UK public sector orgs will be having similar issues. Yay.
Surely itโll be Jesus next.
People are making fun of this, but honestly there's nothing more English than sticking a flag on an island that's not yours
No, it was Dave.
The notion that โBritainโ functionally means โEngland first, everyone else secondโ on the other hand, has been pretty visible from outside looking in forโฆpretty much all of my life, really.
I think Wales and Scotland is becoming even too esoteric a taste for the Gammonites to swallow, and as for Northern Ireland, well, โthat lot over thereโ
tbf after seeing how these guys paint the English flag i think the Union Jack is beyond their skills
England / English = the norm Scotland / Scottish = others Irish / Ireland = others Wales / Welsh = others Everyone else = others Until you understand that, you will never understood the BBC, the Royal Navy, Whitehall, the Windsors, the CBI, parliament or any other institution of The Establishment.
