The Politics Thread

[Punting2022]

Anybody still concerned about the economy and planning to vote to make it better? 

No Matter who you vote for. the country wont be on a upward trend until somali invasion has gone and also a select other group.

Who said anything about being wiped from the map?

So what are all these 'From the Rivers to the Sea' chants all about?

Just look at your posts

A dinosaur , relic from the past , the world has changed a long time ago. Have you realised this yet ?

Charlie and I have disagreed a fair bit but I respect his views. He has a far better grip on reality in today’s world than you do with your ridiculous postering. (Other than his view on the Daily Mail.)

I'm going to be nice and suggest you look up Professor Norman Finkelstein, Ilan Pappe and Edward Said.
And for commentary on current affairs Glenn Greenwald, Aaron Mate, Max Blumenthal, Brian Berletic.
And hey. Whaddya know. Not one Russian in there. And 5 jews.

Are you Massagemanmr's spokesperson now? 

[Thephoenix]

Every other political party is infiltrated by Zionists.
And yes.
I support the resolution.
Because it's bloody obvious that Zionism is racism.
It's giving one ethnic group special privileges over another.
A man from Brooklyn whose grandparents were born in Poland has a 'right of return' to occupied Palestine on the basis that some Jews lived there 2000 years ago.
A Palestinian man whose grandparents were born in Haifa and driven out in 1947 has no such right.
Sounds pretty racist to me.

The Labour Chair, Bridget Pillipson condemned the resolution as shameful,  and Angela Raynor said the motion "crosses a line and is rightly being condemned across the political spectrum".
You are accusing them of being Zionists.
Get a grip man!

Move Israel to Minnesota. Problem solved.

Either that or just glass it along with Palestine and hope the Samson protocol is bollocks.   

[TallnHung]

Well the Mail is a establishment errand boy, used when the state wants certain actions taken on those they deem worthy of dirty treatment.

Ah I forgot unless it's GBeebies it's MSM brain washing.  Silly me.

Whose the select other group I wonder?

[Vice Admiral]

Oh dear.  Kemi has now further blotted her copybook.  The main headline on the front page of today’s Times is, “Badenoch to pledge bonfire of green laws”.

I can’t go along with a rabidly “anti-environmental” agenda.  In addition, bonfires release CO₂ into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.

This follows Kemi’s shameful determination to keep the triple lock.  So I’m afraid that it’s “two strikes and she’s out” – I’ve kicked Kemi out of the list of party leaders who may get my vote in the next election.

Kemi goes from bad to worse:

This Iron Dome concept is pie in the sky.  It’ll never happen.

Quite apart from anything else, the cost would be closer to £100 million than £10 million, according to a retired general (or similar) who was interviewed on last night’s Newsnight.

I thought Kemi was going to be a new kind of “realistic” politician?

Oh well.  Back to Count Binface.  Except even he’s letting us down, by not standing in the Holborn & St Pancras by-election.  Which, incidentally, Labour is going to win comfortably. 

Perhaps the Polanski bubble has burst, just as the Farage balloon is gently deflating?  A new Britain-wide YouGov poll published yesterday gives these figures:
Labour 27% (+3)
Reform 22% (-3)
Conservatives 20% (+1)
Liberal Democrats 11% (-1)
Greens 11% (no change)

Kemi much like most Politicians trying to gain power is basically saying what she thinks she needs to in order to get more votes, think they said on the news the other day that about 50% of Tory voters are pensioners so maintaining the clearly unaffordable triple lock is an obvious policy choice for them and now this iron dome playing on peoples fear about Russia and war etc.
The Greens have been infiltrated by the Palestinian agitators who appear to have found a natural home where they can fester until they destroy the recent surge in popularity of the party
Reform basically are agitators just right wing not left

But stuck in the middle of all this are the Lib Dems, wouldn't you think that with the decrease in popularity / core voters of Labour and Tories that they were well placed to pick up most of these disillusioned votes  But for decades now they never seem to be able to get too far off the ground

[Blackpool Rock]

Jeffery Archer was a stereotypical Tory from the Thatcher era and the party appeared to be stuffed full of his ilk who typified the word sleaze, must be one of the last of that cesspit crew 

Died on the eve of his book being published which was apparently going to be his last anyway, well I guess it's going to be another best seller, hopefully he's donating some of the proceeds to repay the charity money he appears to have pilfered over the years

Perhaps the ''Burnham bounce'' balloon will deflate at the next budget. It looks like lots more tax is coming.
The Restore Britain numbers are missing from the above opinion poll. They should be at around 3%.
This will not help the Reform numbers.

Like the High Court, you mean, who found it to have impeccable journalistic standards? Perhaps the 'stuff' you google can say the same, although you've yet to enlighten us as to who your trusted sources may be.

Please can you tell me who said the daily Mail had impeccable journalistic standards?

[DastardlyDick]

You didn't understand my sarcasm, or did you? of course he's not a enemy of the state, but the over reaction of the state towards Tommo proves the two tier judicary.

Are you having a honest conversation, or contorting yourself in mental gymnastics? To regard a man who punctured a rubber boat, as a person that needs remanding? Compared to 6 alleged terrorists who get given bail?
Or you could be sensible and agree that you might think Tommo is a knob, but he doesn't deserve to be a political prisoner of HMG on remand for criminal damage of people traffikers boat.

Danny Tommo has a previous conviction for Kidnap involving use of a knife, and says he has no fixed abode despite giving his mums address on Companies House - they can't bail him.
The guys involved in the Fairford incident (AFAIK) have no previous convictions, no explosives were found. It does seem odd that they've been bailed - I can only assume that CT Police think it'll take them longer than the maximum 14 days detention to carry out their investigation.

[Jerboa]

Ah I forgot unless it's GBeebies it's MSM brain washing.  Silly me.

That's not what I said, why are you making stuff up? You don't think there is a link between the establishment and legacy media and journalist?

The conviction is a decade old, wouldn't count as grounds to hold him, he has not been violent or threatened violence, his not a flight risk is he? He knows if he gave his home address the media would love to leak it online, so he's protecting his Mrs and kids. The remand stinks or state corruption.

Do you honestly think that the media won't know his actual address

Not been violent? How is using a knife to (allegedly) slash a boat using a knife not violent? His previous conviction would have been taken into account in the Judges decision, regardless of how long ago it was - there is no limit on that type of Offence.

[Vice Admiral]

The  headline “WW3 fears explode as 'drones sink ship' in NATO waters” is perhaps a bit hyperbolic:

Nonetheless this news item won’t make anyone sleep easier in their beds – especially when, as today’s Times reports, “Andy Burnham is considering delaying a decision about when the government will increase defence spending until the autumn of next year in the hope that Britain’s economy improves.”

[Jerboa]

Do you honestly think that the media won't know his actual address 

Yes they will do, unfortunately there are so called journalists who are actually activists, who will leak addresses, also if his address is said in court then you have members of the public that might use that info.

Well Dick a rubber boat is a inanimate object, he's not even charged with possession of a bladed article or for violence against a people traffikers rubber boat.

Could be either Ukraine or Russia, they have been hitting shipping in the Black Sea. The clue will be in what ships were hit, report states they are both Turkish owned, heading to the Romanian port of Sulina, this port is a stone throw from the Ukraine border, maybe the cargos final destination was Ukraine. The only ships now that attempt to break the blockade of Odessa are likely crewed by Ukrainian sailors, because of the risk.

Someone who worked at a plague research centre in Siberia has died

The official Russian line is that they died of pneumonia of an unknown origin and that everyone should only listen to the official statement, obviously as we all know the Russians only ever throw straight dice don't they 

On the other hand this research centre did used to be part of the Russian chemical / biological weapons program during the cold war and it's suspected they haven't 100% stopped
Given that normal plague is usually easily treatable with antibiotics these days the fear is that they have been developing some kind of super strain of plague 

Could make Covid look like a sniffle

you've got to love the shapes Israel supporters have become, they can't even lie properly 🤣🤣

 

[Massagemanmr]

British government requested Israel to abide by international law, stop starving 2 million people and stop dropping 1 ton bombs on civilians.

The totally unreasonable demands by the British quite clearly this is vile anti Semitism and jew hatred !!!!

Israel should be allowed to target civilians, starve entire populations and not have to abide by international law at all !!!!

UK considers expelling Israeli diplomats if Israel shuts British Jerusalem consulate
