I think that's the point I was trying to make earlier in the thread that Monty looks ordinary next to Slim, but tbh, who wouldn't? My friends dad was in 14th Army, and he said that every man was convinced he was the best general the 'British' army ever produced.

A genuine haggis warning sign in Scotland - at least the sign is genuine...

Serious problem with smoking haggis at the moment - photo sent by my friend who lives in the Highlands. Shame the sign shows a lowland haggis.

We keep being told that the perpetrators of the Huntingdon abomination are "British-born". OK. So were the killers at Woolwich barracks, Southport, Tavistock Square, Westminster Bridge, Manchester arena, London Bridge etc etc. If you insist on denying that this has anything to do with immigration policy, I'm afraid you are not arguing in good faith.

Daniel Hannan was born in Peru.

A tweet from Acyn (@Acyn) reads: “O’Donnell: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far? Trump: I think they haven’t gone far enough.” Below the tweet is a screenshot from 60 Minutes, showing Donald Trump with a serious expression.

The monster in the White House.

A screwdriver, a hammer, or a van can *obviously* be used as weapons, though they have other, non-violent, purposes too.

What non-violent purpose does pepper spray have?

Absolutely - George McClellan failed the 'ordinary' test spectacularly.

OTOH, Bill Slim managed to perform as a general without being an arsehole. I remember reading that everyone was delighted when he took over as CIGS - replacing Monty.

Only the short-legged (lowland) haggis. The feet would show if you tried to hide a long-legged (highland) haggis up your kilt.

They are like a thief," said Senum, 47, who has had to move twice since authorities arrived with heavy machinery in 2018."I had to run away from my land because I was scared. I don't want to die stupidly."He says he was promised 10 million rupiah ($600) for land that became part of the MotoGP track, far below market price. And in the end, he only received three million.The world's premier motorcycle race returned to Indonesia in 2022 after a 25-year hiatus, at a 4.31-kilometre (2.68-mile) track in Lombok's beach-lined Kuta resort town.The government hopes the project will diversify tourism away from popular island Bali, but it has stoked a years-long struggle between authorities and locals.Story and photo by AFP/Jack Moore.Click the link in our bio to read the full story.

Good to see the Jakarta Post paying attention to the people who were forced off their land to build the Mandalika circuit. They were promised a pittance in compensation, and haven't even been paid that

I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed.

He needs to be held to account for the damage he's done instead of always being given an easy ride.

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!

I know how hard you worked for this.

The UAE where hugging in public can get you arrested, where human rights barely exist, where foreign workers are routinely abused, where critics of the regime routinely disappear, where an Indian nanny was shot by firing squad in March & where marital rape is not a criminal offence but being gay is.

Reform Is Losing Councillors Elected In May At An 'Unusual' Rate Reform UK has lost more than 5 per cent of the councillors it had elected six months ago, an analysis by PoliticsHome has found.

One in twenty Reform councillors elected in May 2025 has left by the Autumn
- half expelled/suspended
- a quarter resigned from council
- some defected

An "unusual rate" of attrition in 6 months, says Tony Travers

We're now at "black people aren't British". Open sewer racism. Look forward to seeing him on QT again soon.

The sheer greasy desperation from these bastards that any violent crime is committed by an immigrant so they can continue their grift. Even when they know it isn't true. Foul.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

[Scene is the entrance cabin to a NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AND GARDENS] 1 NATIONAL TRUST EMPLOYEE [inside cabin]: Hello there 2 [A young family - two parents two kids - have arrived at the front desk]. DAD: Hi - do you have an activity trail, for the kids? 3 NT EMPLOYEE: Of course – you’re just in time for the Autumn Gammon Trail! 4 MUM: That sounds fun, doesn’t it kids? 5 NT EMPLOYEE [handing an activity sheet and pencils to the kids]: Every autumn, the Reform Trust gammons flock back to the National Trust for the AGM. Just follow the trail round the grounds, and see how many you can spot! 6 NT EMPLOYEE [hearing something in the gardens]: Listen - that's their call [Calls emanating from the landscape]: tut-tut woke-woke 7 NT EMPLOYEE [showing the family an apparently empty fenced enclosure with some bushes in]: They are extremely sensitive and fragile... But you can bring them out of hiding if you put a little sign down mentioning slavery. 8 KIDS [pointing]: There they are! [Some little red faced PEOPLE wearing Barbour jackets and gilets emerge cautiously from the bushes. They are creeping towards a TINY SIGN in the middle of the enclosure]. [Little people noises]: woke-woke tut-tut woke-woke 9 [Close-up of the TINY SIGN - we can read that it says]: Slavery had a bit to do with building this massive house. [Noises from the little people again as they inspect the tiny sign]: tut-tut woke-woke 10 MUM [pointing]: What's that one doing there? NT EMPLOYEE: Oh, that's so sweet… 11 [We see that one of the people is sat on a rock, with a little laptop open on a tree stump, and they are furiously typing away]. NT EMPLOYEE: I think he's writing a column for the Daily Telegraph… 12 [We see close up to the little person’s screen, it is a word document reading]: Are National Trust scones secretly WOKE? [ends]

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

Bari Weiss @bariweiss "Is Donald Trump a “dictator”? Did the events of January 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C., constitute an “insurgency”? Is Joe Biden “sharp as a tack”? Is the science of climate change “settled”? Are Javier Milei of Argentina, Marine Le Pen of France, and the AfD party in Germany “far right”? Is the Wuhan lab leak hypothesis a “conspiracy theory”? Was the persistence of the virus a “pandemic of the unvaccinated”? Does Anthony Fauci “represent science”? Does Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, “promote hatred”? Do “fact-checkers” check facts? Let’s ask a question about these questions: Why on Earth were we placed in a position of having to answer them? In an open society, perspectives on reality confront one another in forceful competition. Each may contain some particle of truth—or at least some useful information. So even the flat-earthers are allowed their say. Even the Bigfoot-seekers appear on the Discovery Channel. Somewhere among the nonsense, there may be something worth hearing. Because we don’t precisely know where or when, the conversation is never over. A vast diversity of perspectives should be promoted within an open society. It’s the intellectual equivalent of hybrid vigor. If we all think alike, a single fatal error, being shared by all, could destroy the world. These precepts are not original. They have long been part of the American DNA. The default, for us, has always been debate. When certain subjects, like slavery, were made taboo and removed from the possibility of discussion, towering figures arose and terrible conflicts were fought to restore the balance. However, the past four years have seen a sustained effort to overturn the principles of the open society. The just-departed administration, of which Biden was the decrepit figurehead, tried to impose, by threat or mandate, a version of reality that brooked no discussion. Supported by its allies in the media, the academy, and the bureaucracy, the administrati…

Bari Weiss @bariweiss · Sep 6, 2023 Gratified at the outpouring of responses to this important and courageous piece by @PatrickTBrown31 . https://thefp.com/p/i-overhyped-climate-change-to-get-published From thefp.com Bari Weiss @bariweiss · Sep 5, 2023 "Savvy researchers tailor their studies to maximize the likelihood that their work is accepted. I know this because I am one of them. Here’s how it works." @PatrickTBrown31 with a must-read piece: https://thefp.com/p/i-overhyped-climate-change-to-get-published

It's a little understated that Bari Weiss is really a flat-out 'just-asking-questions' style climate change denier.

Eg, here she is saying the science is up for public debate rather than settled, publishing the work of a big-name denier influencer (Koonin), and boosting a fake controversy

Gayle King expected to depart ‘CBS Mornings’ in latest restructure: report King, who has fronted the broadcaster’s morning show for over a decade, is expected to step down from her anchor role on next year, according to a report

Bari Weiss makes a clean sweep, firing all women, Blacks and Hispanics in high-profile positions at CBS News. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Kristi Noem is flat-out lying when she claims no U.S. citizen has been arrested in her violent crackdown. Do a web search on “immigration citizen arrested” and you’ll see. Here’s one of the many documented reports we found.

Ettingermentum writes: “Actually what on earth is in those files bro.” The image from Courier Newsroom headline reads: “Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is now the longest Rep-elect in history to not be sworn in. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva over fear of releasing the Epstein files.” The picture shows Grijalva in a red jacket beside Speaker Mike Johnson.

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

The path from abusing foreigners to abusing the disabled is well-trodden. I I hope this nugget is bright enough to reflect on who else has walked it.

China bought 27 million metric tons of soybeans from US farmers in 2024. But somehow this “deal” to buy significantly less is a huge victory.

one of my favorite things is when the subject of a piece threatens a journalist and the journalist responds by casually printing everything very matter of factly

Only 29 asylum appeals have been made to the ECHR in the last 45 years you dimwit. For that non-existent benefit you would sacrifice the right to life, liberty, fair trial, freedom of expression, thought, religion, protection from torture, slavery, etc.
Fucking idiot.

List of all tge Tory scandals from 2011 to 2023

Think today is a good day to repost this wee gem. Labour will need to get a move on if they want to match the Tories scandals.
