@owen9305 @tomhfh @RichardBentall "You"? They made trade more difficult, in order to intimidate other nations that wanted to leave. The EU could've offered exactly what it does to EEA nations; trade without political domination and mass immigration. It didn't want to do that. Only a retard wanted to Remain.

Most people moronically misunderstand this chart. They see that Britain had higher growth in the 1950s and 60s in absolute terms, and chalk that down to the postwar consensus. But that’s obviously bollocks. Britain had the lowest growth in the G7 in the 50s and 60s. Technological innovation made growth impossible to escape, but my god did we miss out on so much wealth. In the 60s, elections were won because we’d ‘never had it so good’ - and that was true. But we were completely ignorant of how much better we could have had it. Once technological innovation slowed (households appliances look basically the same as they did in the 70s, our cars are recognisable, the difference between how society looks and gets about today compared to 1970 is minimal compared to the change over the 56 years leading up to 1970) growth slowed across the board. But in Britain, thanks to Thatcher, suddenly we went from underperforming every single one of our competitors to overperforming them all save for the United States.
Tushar@Tusharufo2

Thatcher's reforms i.e privatization, deregulation, tax cuts, breaking union power, delivered the best economic growth Britain had seen in decades. The UK outpaced France, Germany, and Italy from 1980-2000s. And Britain hates her for it. Because growth isn't comfortable. Reform means disruption. Closing inefficient state-owned industries. Ending subsidies. Forcing competition. People lose jobs in dying sectors before new opportunities emerge. Thatcher chose long-term prosperity over short-term popularity. The economy boomed. But voters remembered the pain, not the gain The chart shows it clearly, UK growth collapsed after 2000 as the country drifted back toward the European model of high taxes, heavy regulation, and expanding welfare.

@tomhfh Banking deregulation, right to buy and the end of new council housing led directly to the housing crisis and spiralling house prices that we have today.

@doodamos @MerryOlEngland The English are also a product of the English. Because they're our ancestors! What is it with these Americans that think their ethnicity ceased to exist after 1776? It's weird. You're English. Fucking get over it.

@miavonmilk @pedwardcher @realCarola2Hope @grok It's true though. The Soviets were getting torn apart before the US and UK supplied and fed their armies, allowing for counteroffensives. The Eastern Front only started collapsing once the Allies landed in North Africa and the Germans needed to reinforce Italy and France.

@PoweredByEcchi @TheGrouchHK @D162Michele And those people still preferred British rule. The Chinese desperately wanted control of the city because it was so prosperous, even building Shenzhen right on its doorstep just to get some shine. Even with the Brits being indifferent and closed off from HKers, they thrived.

@HughBrice @DanielJHannan It was at its best as a nation of white immigrants, and is becoming more of a shithole by the year as nons pour in. Even with white immigrants, there was chaos but fucking hell, these nons. How many Hispanics have you got now? Do you know their crime rate? Etc. etc.

I have noticed that a number people have gone from identifying purely as Americans to thinking of themselves as English-Americans. Was Donald Trump's speech simply a reflection of the rising ethnic consciousness in a declining white American population? washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

@Blackpillson @real_lord_miles @MichaelAArouet London's been the richest UK city for centuries. It's not because of the nons, they moved there to get a whiff of the wealth (and the benefits, social housing etc.). 48% of social housing is occupied by nons, 40% of them are unemployed. London's wealthy because of banking.

Each time I travel to Italy, I wonder about the massive economic gap. Why is the North one of the wealthiest areas in Europe, while the South remains so extremely poor? Isn’t it the same country, with the same language, culture, taxes, and laws? Can someone please explain?

@Eulipotyphla_OG How does a small, upstart party vet 4,800 candidates within a month or two? 5 minutes each for a skim of their twitters? Exactly, cart before the horse; let's see what next May's like. Look, just say you're sorry, pledge your support for Restore and we can all go to bed.

@Eulipotyphla_OG @Anachronistian The invasion more stark by the year. I can't imagine the outrage 3 years from now. Tories will get more irrelevant by the day, Farage will continue putting his foot in his mouth and Restore will keep being based, and push the Overton window. Momentum is with them.

@KjVaguely @Anachronistian Not to be too pedantic, but the Tories are very much alive. Boriswave did the Tories, correct. But it did not mobilise the voters for next most right-wing option in face of such a betrayal. If 2024 was such a struggle, the hill to climb in 2029 is worse, because of demographics

Reform beating the Tories in real life, and Restore not present, but winning the Youtube comments.. .. sounds pretty indicative of what is happening across the country.
Reem Ibrahim@ReemAmirIbrahim

The @TheSpectator hosted a debate between the Tories and Reform on the future of "the right", but the majority of the comments are from @RupertLowe10 @RestoreBritain_ supporters.

@Eulipotyphla_OG Didn't recently say (more than once) that anyone can be British, even Afghans? These people are imbeciles. Prominent imbeciles. Brackpool, Downes, these people are based. They've got 3 years. Plenty of time. With over 130,000 members, they're well ahead of schedule.

@KjVaguely Would add Zahawi has no access or role in Reform, but not going to say too much re. the ex-Tories in Reform. I believe in the marketplace of ideas, and Charlie, Harrison and Connor place in it, however I believe that Restore, as a party, was premature x.com/Eulipotyphla_O…
Euli-🦔@Eulipotyphla_OG

It's said that Britain is filled with right wing 'parties' that should've stayed a 'movement', and tis true. 1) GB PAC managed to beat Labour in court, but lost its momentum in Advance UK. 2) Restore Britain could've been a RW Fabian Society, but opted to entertain Steve Laws.

@Eulipotyphla_OG As Restore expand with branches and candidates, are the Tories more or less likely improve their %? Restore are sweeping through, they've got more members than the Tories. The desperate pollsters are hiding them under 'other'. More exposure won't dampen their surge.

@KjVaguely The Tories have stubbornly held onto their 18% for a whole year, and even now is set to hold 6 councils in the coming set of elections. The idea that Restore will come and sweep this leviathon away is wild imv. Reform is only where it is because Nigel chipped at it for 30 yrs.

@Eulipotyphla_OG @Anachronistian Much of Lowe's support is from non-voters. There are 20m of them. If Boriswave gets citizenship, they'll be further galvanised. Millions of Labour voters wanted Brexit, remember. We've still got time for a political solution; there aren't enough nons yet (though too many).

@Eulipotyphla_OG @Anachronistian And now Reform are polling to receive over 7m votes. The Tories have collapsed. You keep trying to pretend that the status quo from years ago applies. Reform have destroyed the Tories and Restore are wrecking Reform. Boriswave DID destroy the Tories! Look at the 2024 result.

@Anachronistian @KjVaguely I would like to remind you that Reform only got 300k more votes than Ukip got in 2015. This was just the reassembling of the UKIP-Brexit Tory base. There is no guarantee that Reform will truly destroy the Tories, or that Restore will do it!

@Eulipotyphla_OG On 1 thing. There are a slew of things in the opposite direction, which you'll wave off. And it can't be said enough that Lowe's team ARE as based as hell, while the Farage lot are awful. Kruger, Zahawi, those responsible for our problems, with zero wish to fix them.

Kj@KjVaguely

@Eulipotyphla_OG We had a conversation 2 days ago where you showed me that video. That he's surrounded himself with good eggs that are far more right-wing than him, dragging him rightwards over time, is a good thing. While Farage sounds more like a leftist every week.

@Eulipotyphla_OG His website says they'll deport legals if they can't speak English, live in social housing, claim benefits, refuse to work, fail to integrate, commit crime (even fly tipping), and if they hate us/ wish us harm. No benefits for foreign nationals either. Boriswave undone too.

@KjVaguely The only published paper by Restore is very clear: "This paper deals with the existing illegal migrant population." It also assumes the ratio of voluntary to enforced deportations is ~3:1. Given Britain deported 8k last year, seems a ridiculous ratio to 'scale' to 2 million.

Half of Lowes supporters are openly racist, declaring only white people should govern etc, he will never be PM. Lets see what happens with the accusations of him bullying women.
