I agree but please spell his name correctly. It’s Mamdani.

Well if you think that’s bad, I live in a village of about 500 people in the UK and apparently 1000 illegal immigrants are about to turn up and rape all the children.
The guy is not just a racist he’s a fucking moron.

Why does anybody listen to this man? I mean, I’ve nothing against soybean farmers per se but I wouldn’t let one opine on economic policy.
But then I wouldn’t give responsibility to a nation’s defence to a Fox News talking head either.

Did anyone say that he was part of the group of neo-con nutters that, without any post regime change plan (aside from making lots of money) threw petrol on Iraq before setting it on fire, then buggered off? And all because Dubya wanted to avenge the 9/11 atrocity committed by…errr…a Saudi national.

*You sound like my perfect cinema going companion. I agree with every word of your post.

Watching a film at the cinema is a solitary experience. STFU!
Nobody needs to talk…at all. Do it afterwards.
It’s bad enough that cinemas have become more like bloody restaurants and it’s necessary to put up with the masticatory din.
When is immersive audio going to be provided through headsets?

I suspect there are thousands of racist white supremacists who would relish the idea of dressing up as masked paramilitaries and hoovering up anyone they think looks β€˜a bit too brown’.
They’d probably pay to do it if, as appears to be the case, they were allowed to do so with complete impunity.
No?

I also suggest a largely Indian population who aren’t that interested in the outcome.
In London you’d comfortably fill Lords with Aussies, S Africans, Indians, Pakistanis, etc because a) smaller ground b)large multinational population c) Higher income?…although tickets today should be free(ish).

So Ed,what about violent racist thugs who just happen to be Jewish? Or is that anti-semitism?

When you develop your world view by immersing oneself in an 'algorithmically controlled digital dog fighting pit' (Stewart Lee), it's not at all surprising.

BiBi does nothing without the implicit or explicit support of Trump including the slaughter and starvation of Palestinians. Only when told to stop it, like a recalcitrant child, does he move.
Trump could’ve done this months ago but preoccupied with Epstein suppression and militarising cities.

This is Johnson’s legacy and a consequence of the β€˜get Brexit done’ government. Chucked out moderate one nation Tories and pandered to the right wing nationalist nut jobs. Of course Johnson wasn’t one of them but they gave him a route to power.
It’s always that scruffy, lying scheming bastard.

Oh, and climate change deniers (fossil fuels) and economic libertarians (low tax (but mainly for wealthy) all shacked up in Tufton Street.

All politics is impacted by β€˜donations’.
In the UK it used to be the tobacco and sugar lobbies, now it’s gambling and Russian money (especially in the Tory Party). Any donation is a quid pro quo and whilst the money in UK politics is a rounding error compared to that in the US, it’s still a bribe.

Because they have the explicit support of the US. Israel is a proxy for the US in the Middle
East.
The pro Israel lobby in the US is extremely powerful and more especially rich. As with all policy matters in the GOP they are for sale…and they’ve been bought.

True, but I was only referring to the behavior of fans at sporting events.
I'm British, white, and middle class (probably considered working class in the States).
I would have serious reservations about travelling to the USA.
My heart bleeds for all the decent people who live there. Scary times.

It's not so much the behaviour itself, it's the setting in which that behavior was enacted.
I understand that at baseball and NFL matches this is standard fare.
In the UK, crowds at football matches are far far more insulting to opponents and use aggressively vile language.
FIFA won't care at all.
