It is inevitable Reform will win the next General election. It will be Brexit all over again. A population who are desperate for change, thinking that if they vote for Reform things could not be any worse! So, they will, in ignorance, vote for Farage, and things will, undoubtedly get much worse.

Perhaps the NON is, ultimately, what may have to change for Americans to rid themselves of their criminal regime.

This is not about security, it is about natural resources. Trump needs Greenlandโ€™s resources, as he needs Venezuelan crude, not to benefit ordinary US citizens, or make them more secure, he needs it enrich the Oligarchical classes who, in turn fund him and the cultists within his government.

He needs to be considering extremely close military ties with the EU as a priority. Because, the three major world powers are ready to ignore International law and follow the law of might is right. Isolated nations will be at risk, the EU at least has a chance of offering some real resistance.

The irony of the United States of America suggesting that a Union of European States poses a security threat. It doesnโ€™t, but it does mean they are stronger collectively and are better placed to be able, as a collective, to resist the bully boy tactics of Trumpโ€™s corrupt US Government.

I would much prefer the Greens than Labour. Labour, if they changed tack, as you suggest, would simply be a poor imitation of the original, as they currently are of Reform. Better voters throw their weight behind Lib dems, as the three front runners are as bad as one another.

Millionaires dropping large donations to ensure they are not asked to pay their appropriate share of tax.

So, having watched yesterday as Infantino kissed Trumpโ€™s ring, we will soon be treated to a re-run of the 1936 Olympic Games. The sight of a fascist regime using an elite world sporting event as a propaganda tool is sickening enough, without that being with the blessing of the sports governing body!

No, that canโ€™t be right, another direct link between Farage and illegal activity, Iโ€™m not having that! ๐Ÿ˜‚

It will be interesting to see how theyโ€™ll monitor the vehicle milage. What about PHEVโ€™s, will they pay the extra tax on just miles travelled on electric power only? Perhaps a portion of it when in hybrid mode, and how the hell are they going to measure that. Half arsed think tank idea, no doubt!

Heโ€™s sycophantic, unable or unwilling to call Trump out for what he is, a racist, criminal liar, concerned only with lining the pockets of billionaires. The irony is this approach will lead to Starmer being replaced by a racist, criminal, liar, whoโ€™ll enrich the rich and impoverish the poor.

And no points for guessing who is the chief agitator of the rise in racism, nor who is his uneducated, easily used tool of choice. Nigel and Tommy, the political and the terrorist arms of, the British far right.

Looking at electoral results from US yesterday, it seams they unfortunately had to actually experience the effects of electing a far right grifter to appreciate they made a massive mistake. Thankfully we donโ€™t have to experience Reform to know, we just need to learn from US how bad theyโ€™d surely be!

Of course it does, itโ€™s the political arm of the ultra wealthy. Itโ€™s there simply to further the unsavoury aims of a section of society, who criminally disregard the rest. It provides the smoke and mirrors to enable itโ€™s backers to continue to build untold wealth, to the cost of ordinary citizens.

Why not go all in, and have an Apprentice style, reality TV, show to select your president? You could even have their sponsors logos printed on their clothing!

If only it was a simple matter of an aging President, a chicken leg short of a picnic, funny but harmless. Itโ€™s not, itโ€™s dangerous, heโ€™s totally deranged, and heโ€™s backed by a sycophantic administration unable to provide any moderation to his growing despotic action. It is not funny, itโ€™s scary.

Trump is obviously of far below average IQ, you simply have to listen to him to understand that. Geography, History, Science, the man shows his ignorance daily. My primary school grandson would destroy him in a test of general knowledge. The leader of the free world, is simply a rich village idiot!

It speaks volumes that you chose to use a question, not a statement, to refer to them โ€œhaving admitted itโ€. And, though theyโ€™ve eluded to it, no, they have not openly pointed to Brexit as a mistake. Nor have they explicitly highlighted the numerous negative effects of Brexit, economic or social.

The silence among politicians with regard to the harm brexit has caused is becoming deafening. They are scared to point out the truth for fear of losing votes! The irony being that the majority of voters donโ€™t need it pointing out, they know, they experience the negative effects every single day.

The most grotesque part of the Israeli perpetrated genocide is that they, and their supporters, including UK PM Starmer, label any sort of anti Israeli sentiment as antisemitism, quelling dissenting voices and giving permission for the occupation and genocidal slaughter to continue.

FFS! Are you missing the point on purpose? The, who started what, and obviously there were others involved (who doesnโ€™t resist aggression), is irrelevant. Trouble follows the supporters around, and is a regular occurrence at their matches. Not having them eliminates that problem. ๐Ÿคก

Wasnโ€™t my perception. Religion, and nationality, irrelevant. Violent fans, bringing high risk of violence, banned, simple.

20.10.2025 09:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

And this isnโ€™t that!! This is a standard decision, which has been taken many times before by UEFA, to punish what they believe to be unacceptable fan behaviour, and preemptively prevent similar incidents. Bye!

Quite the turn around. I think we can all guess who wears the trousers in the Starmer household!

Clutching at straws now, a brawl at a ground with a few hundred v a violent riot between thousands. You have lost this argument and are simply muttering in the corner due, I would guess, to some misguided, fact denying allegiance to either Isreal, or more likely the idiot leading labour. ๐Ÿง

The Israeli Premier League derby between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv was cancelled by police after "violent riots" before kick-off. I think that answers your question?

19.10.2025 21:52 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

What! Nothing about this should be referred to as antisemitic, anti zionist definitely, anti Israeli possibly, and with very good reason, given the evil they have perpetrated. But, to sight antisemitic demonstrations as a possible trigger for violence in this case is pathetic, but sadly expected.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Personally, I am happy that a bunch of genocide glorifying Israelis have been denied the possibility of causing/attracting trouble in Birmingham. They are not the first group of supporters banned from games for racist/violent behaviour, and they wonโ€™t be the last.
