If I was PM I’d tell Trump to go fuck himself. What a disgusting racist diatribe he let out along with the shitty odour of his nappy. How dare the “Indigenous” people of the Chagos get their land back. 😡

Just saw a wonderful cash machine in Buchanan Street, Glasgow that’d actually been broken into with all the doors prised open. Someone has scrawled (in black marker pen) upon it:”Nigel Farage woz [sic]’ere. I win, you lose MOFO”.
I do love Glasgow, but time for home.

I agree empathy would be a nice attribute for a leader but then if he showed too much the press would call him weak.
If Starmer walked on water they would say he couldn’t swim.

He must have communicated something to the electorate because they voted him in. He didn’t shy away from being questioned during the campaign although his answers were just repetitive. We have to ask ourselves if we want a technocrat or some populist like Johnson or a Trump? I do prefer boring.

His Dad was a Colonel in the KGB and neither have thrown themselves out of a window so it is possible. No evidence however but statistically possible.

Unless you have lived experience of either McSweeney or Starmer there is no evidence of a lack of empathy. Like I said, I’m no fan of any of the current tribes but am quite keen to not output disinformation. I’d have BJ as a psychopath but without evidence it is supposition.

I’m no defender of any of them but 1. he has not ever been convicted of anything. Narcissistic is quite clear. 2. Ginger is seemingly a derogatory term based on his ethnic origins. 3. I’ve read and experienced people with no empathy, which can indicate psychopathy.

MI6 'warned Downing Street of Mandelson's Russia links' before he became Washington ambassador | LBC EU security services warned MI6 that Moscow was targeting Mandelson through his relationship with a Kremlin-linked oligarch

Maybe the whole system needs an approval process before people are appointed. Example, Lebedev in the House of Lords too! The latter may not have links to Epstein however they both seemingly have close links to the GRU.

There is a movie script in this tale of punk greed. A bit like the McDonalds origin story ‘The Founder’ overlapping with the business practices of Jordan Belfort.

I don’t say so, it is the literal definition/core tenets of Nazism according to the human race.

With respect, you just contradicted yourself. Core tenets of Nazism: racial purity ✅ extreme nationalism ✅ anti semitism/communism, fascist / ✅ totalitarian ✅ survival of the fittest ✅, Living space (won’t be long c.f., Greenland).

A ‘strong whiff’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting. People are not being shot dead and falling in the river in Budapest (read the book: ‘Orgy’) so we are not close to Nazism in your mind. Did you not watch the coverage from the Turning Point Conference? They are not hiding it!

Miller just stated live on CNN that Trump has plenary power,i.e., ABSOLUTE power. He then froze on camera after realising what he’d said. Well, well, well!

I’m struggling to see how Farage’s argument stands up. Probably not for the first time. So, maybe due to racism, homophobia and the representation of the holocaust in WW2 fictional output on TV Farage was allowed to treat people at his school the same way? Someone help me join the dots…..🫩

The irony of Trump dancing/jerking off to a woke song by Village People just sends me over the edge.
