@Rottster@Artemisfornow Define “racist” and “far right” in the context of a government that it is confident in its case in a country that promotes free speech?
@Artemisfornow No they aren't "4 foreign speakers" they are RACIST FAR RIGHT AGITATORS, we've got enough Racists already unfortunately, we dont need to invite more across. Plus why do you need "foreign speakers" to speak for the United Kingdom?
I do actually find it jaw dropping the 200,000
unchecked foreign individuals have broken into this country
... and yet 4 foreign speakers with opposing views to the UK government have been barred from entering the UK because of their opinions.
It seems borders do work, but only when the government chooses to use them.
@Artemisfornow@gw_emily Oh Bernie, all asylum seekers are checked, it's called the asylum process.
And they didn't "break in", they entered legally through the only route available.
I have never been a fan of Keir Starmer as Prime Minister. Top politicians need to realise it’s not just the message, but how you sell it that cuts through to the public psyche. His policies may well have been among the best for the country and some undoubtedly were but Sir Keir never seemed able to land them with the public. Voters rarely reward policies they don’t emotionally connect with. Yesterday’s reset speech didn’t help. What exactly was he trying to tell us.
Now, in what could be the death throes of his tenancy in No 10 after less than two years at the top, I do find myself feeling for him. He pulled himself up by his bootstraps and reached not one but two of the highest offices in the land.
So, as the wannabes circle the Cabinet table this morning, positioning for what may come next, spare a thought for a man who genuinely wanted to make a difference, but never quite mastered the art of making his case.
Fair?
@Alexarmstrong@ElznGaz When @recusant_raja’s work on Burnham’s rape gang cover up comes out, or rather becomes more widely known, he’ll be toast too.
Mark my words.
Is it just me but suddenly everything feels …. normal ?
No more psycho dramas and scandals.
Like the grown ups are back in Govt & people can get on with their lives watching politics out the corner of their eyes.
Safe
@freekeestylee@BpdLion@MartinBuckby Don’t fucking care to be honest. Would just prefer it if you’d keep your perversions to yourself. I really don’t need to know what you get up to.
@ChurchillSpinn1@BpdLion@MartinBuckby Past illegality, entrapment & ongoing discrimination, including hate crimes
HIV/AIDS & other underfunded health needs
The Stephen Port murders
Erasure of trans rights
Also chasing pink pound"pink washing" by corporations harming us all
That enough?
I've been thinking, what's the actual end goal for people to who vote Reform?
Once they get rid of all the immigrants, will they offer up their sons and daughters to pick potatoes all day for minimum wage? Work in the takeaway shops? Slave away In Amazon distribution centres?
@RobG26957693@Socket1Sophie Yes, farage for PM. AR probably has a higher IQ than most of her supporters but nowhere near mine. She’s as thick as a Gurkha’s foreskin. But nowhere near as thick as you.
@ChurchillSpinn1@Socket1Sophie Can I take it that you think that Führage should be PM? Because if that's the case, it would make you thicker than a submarine door!
Incidentally, AR is far more intelligent than you will ever be,as your idiotic post amply proves!
@RobG26957693@Socket1Sophie The right aren’t terrified of her you daft cunt. She’s thick as shit and her being PM would mean that we’ve actually hit the bottom. Fuck me ragged, you must really believe that she has what it takes 😂😂 numb fucker
@Socket1Sophie Angela Rayner for me. The right are terrified of her,the very thought of a working class woman who's forged a carrier in politics scares them shitless. That's why they constantly attack her!
One half of Starmer's "save myself" appointments deletes this reply to the now-resigned Labour leader of Oldham Council after an embarrassingly long amount of time.
Starmer says Nigel Farage "Took Britain for a ride" on Brexit, which "made us poorer".
"He's not just a grifter, he's a chancer!"
Starmer promises to put Britain back "at the heart of Europe".
As part of this, he promises a new youth mobility scheme to replace Erasmus.
@freekeestylee@BpdLion@MartinBuckby Can’t wait. Baffles me why just a few short years ago being gay was “no big deal” but now everyone is so fucking proud.
@ChurchillSpinn1@BpdLion@MartinBuckby Yes, they overreached too soon & it must be tough for some of their creditors
Back now though in a better direction as a new not for profit community interest company in time for final August weekend this year 🤞🏼🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
@ChurchillSpinn1@BpdLion@MartinBuckby Pride events are self-funding or commercially sponsored, typically generating extra revenue for hosting town or city
Shakespeare, Churchill & many more would say Pride & Honour are restricted to "a happy few" survivors
Those recalling HIV/AIDS & other dark times might agree
@bangbangboom22@whatsamata8@SueWill1966 Have you ever employed anyone? If so, have you ever employed anyone who turned out to be utterly shite and/or disruptive?
@whatsamata8@SueWill1966 What about lowering the minimum wage and removing employees rights so they're easier to dismiss.
I feel this will make businesses become more flexible, don't you?
Anyone who voted for Reform in the local elections. Can you tell me why ? No judgement, no cross examination. I'm just genuinely interested why Reform appealed to you.
@richardbellamy Who does ? If you're talking about Farage, he doesn't give a shit about the people of this country. He just cares about feathering his own nest.
@MiltonEverglade@eatmychuddies@BpdLion John Bidwell decided to bid me farewell rather than have me reply to his post. They always do that, post something snide and then block. Fucking shithouse
@eatmychuddies@BpdLion Immigrants don't want those jobs either, and move konto benefits or easier jobs as soon as they can. And then they and their families also need pensions and benefits
@TonyQui97635330@JossSheldon This isn’t hypothetical, this is a description of the most vocal Reform-voter on my dad’s street. My age. Works a dead end job - didn’t lift a finger to improve himself. Will harp on about being hard working to anyone who stands still long enough.
If you're gonna vote Reform, at least own your bigotry.
Be like: "Yeah, I hate foreigners, trans folk, Muslims, Jews, the poor, the left, the educated and the environment."
Admit you're a fascist. Say it loud. Be proud of who you are.
Don't be a weasel and deny it.
@emrys50838772@TonyQui97635330@JossSheldon You seem to know a hell of a lot about people on your street. How they voted, what benefits they claim, how often they claim them, what jobs they do, how much they get paid and what grades they attained at school. You’re either a lying fucker or a nosy twat.
@TonyQui97635330@JossSheldon They *are* the benefit scroungers. I have about 10 on my street who voted reform, 7 of them long term benefits claimants. The other 3 make up a good chunk of the income from benefits whilst working low wage jobs because they didn’t try hard enough at school.
