The way “only white people can be English” has seamlessly shifted to “only white people can be British” is maddening. We all said this would happen!

We are about six to eight weeks away from someone saying that this country was destroyed by the Empire Windrush in a public forum

I believe have a moderate position on this sort of thing, in that I believe we should be allowed to put the creators of such monstrosities in the stockades and throw rotten fruit at them

I'd like to thank the King for his services to republicanism and condemn him for continuing to support a rapist/paedo

Forget Mondeo man, briefcase Twink is the essential demographic a party must capture to attain government

Okay this is the first thing that's made me feel old

They don't even have the same cover that the other 5 I mentioned! Not a victim of invasion in the 20th Century, nor a sub-state. Baffling.

King Charles III (b. 1948) (1) William, Prince of Wales (b. 1982) (2) Prince George of Wales (b. 2013) (3) Princess Charlotte of Wales (b. 2015) (4) Prince Louis of Wales (b. 2018) (5) Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex (b. 1984) (6) Prince Archie of Sussex (b. 2019) (7) Princess Lilibet of Sussex (b. 2021) (8) Andrew Mountbatten Windsor[9] (b. 1960)

fun fact: it remains the case that if the Princes William and Harry and their kids all died in some kind of freak yacht accident or something then Andrew Mountbatten Windsor would officially be made King

We have the makings of a good theory here- The small country fallacy; the lack of knowledge surrounding the participation of small European nations in imperialism (Belgium, Netherlands, Scotland, Wales, Denmark, perhaps Portugal)

Yeah uh this is why I refuse to cede Tolkien to these people actually

The British Empire makes a lot more sense when you realise 60-70% of the officials responsible for imperial expansion were off their rocker on drugs or delusions of grandeur

Insane period propagated by an insane ruling class. See also the white settlers in colonial Kenya.

"Income taxes, and you gotta pay those"

You will pay your taxes and you will like it in the name of the revolution comrade

Leftwingers who do not accept that you have to pay for socialist policies in some way are fundamentally unserious people

This is the basic formulation for almost all taxes on the wealthy. They are not themselves the great revenue raisers that left populists imagine but the necessary legitimisers of the broad based revenue raisers such as income tax rises that enable democratic socialist policies

The primary aim should be getting governments off X. I don’t actually care if they come here or just do more posting on Instagram or whatever, and it’s probably bad if issues with Bluesky are able to be used as a justification to stay on X.

The claim that "civil war is inevitable in the UK" is better understood as an expression of the author's desire to see blood spilt on British streets.

Who will speak for the forgotten cities of Scotland; Lerwick, Ayr, St Andrews, Fort William and Kirkwall

An X screenshot of the DHS profile in which they shared "finishing this fight" with a picture from the Halo video game with the text "DESTROY THE FLOOD join ICE"

For those unfamiliar with the Halo games, the Flood is a parasitic alien lifeform so bad that superweapons known as Halos were built as a last resort to kill all sentient life in the galaxy in an effort to stop them. And the official DHS page is memeing about it while referring to immigrants. Vile.

Imagine telling someone in 2014 that Kevin McKenna would one day publicly defend the Royal Family and the Orange Order

It's genuinely astonishing the degree to which Microsoft set themselves on fire in the '10s. Not just with Xbox but with Halo as well. Infinite being mishandled left them no choice.

kind funny that a bunch of Scottish Greens defected to Your Party because they felt it was more left wing, then 2 minutes later Adnan Hussain (who effectively owns the party) says capitalism is fine and that anti-fascist protestors are almost as bad as the fascists

I think it fair to infer that the only part of being Prime Minister he actually somewhat likes doing is the international affairs angle and thinks himself above everything else

Fondly remembering Starmer's supposed managerial competence as a key selling point for his leadership

Morgan McSweeney frantically googling "rulebook how suspend membership Labour party"

Pentagon deploys top aircraft carrier as Trump militarisation of Caribbean ratchets up Use of USS Gerald Ford along with fighter jets comes as president plots strikes against alleged cartels on land

European nations have several colonies in the region, alongside some minor military assets. Questions must be asked of governments whether they will assisting American military operations against Venezuela in any way.

An excerpt from a BBC article reading as follows: 'A source close to McEleny said he was "completely content that the finances of the party under the leadership of Alex Salmond were both sound and compliant". But an Alba Party spokesperson said Salmond had "concerns about the management of the party". They said the party's former leader instigated a review of its operations and finances while he was alive as a result of his concerns.' There is an accompanying picture of Chris McEleny.

really enjoy 'while he was alive' here - the BBC ensuring nobody goes away with the impression that Alex Salmond has been commissioning internal reviews from beyond the grave

In honour of the Halo Remake Reveal, here's my blog post about how doing these is cheap'n'nasty and a colossal point miss.

tbh if you look at Halo's visuals and see something limited by the tech of its time you're artistically illiterate
