Have the Tories JUST realised that closing British industry - only to import what we can no longer produce - is worse than keeping British industry running? WHO closed British industry?! 45 years it's taken you - and you want to run the country?! Zero self-awareness!

@Lewisrendell1 Surely if asked to pay reparations, we can claim something back from anyone who's ever benefitted from being able to speak English. Or ridden in a train. Or used a telephone. Or benefitted from multiculturalism - because that IS a benefit for everyone isn't it?
The UN just voted 123-3 to declare the transatlantic slave trade the “gravest crime against humanity” and start sniffing around for reparations. Ghana led the charge, naturally. Applause erupted. Of course it did! What a shit show 😂
Africans didn’t just participate in the slave trade, they ran the supply side with ruthless efficiency. Tribal kings rounding up rivals, Arab traders shipping them, selling their own flesh and blood for beads, guns, and profit centuries before a Yankee clipper showed up.
Meanwhile, over a million white Europeans were dragged into slavery by the Barbary corsairs. Romans, Ottomans, Vikings, Mongols, every people on earth kept slaves. But only Western guilt is immortal. Funny how that works!
Every single perpetrator and victim is dust. Not one living soul owned a slave or wore chains from that era. This isn’t justice; it’s retroactive inheritance fraud.
You don’t get to pass down victimhood like a trust fund while the rest of us are told our ancestors’ sins are genetic. Britain didn’t just abolish the trade, we patrolled the seas, hanged slavers, and spent blood and treasure to end it while half the world was still merrily enslaving each other.
We owe you precisely nothing. Not an apology, not a single taxpayer penny, not one brass farthing funnelled into the great African wealth-transfer casino. Descendants of slaves demanding cash from descendants of abolitionists is peak cosmic comedy.
Build a civilisation instead of another sob story. Stop pickpocketing the future of English children for yesterday’s African quarrels, what a fucking joke if you think we will 😂
The natives of these isles aren’t paying. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever. Fucking cry about it.
Tom - that response to the first question was the height of complacency. 'We'll be fine because we've done extraordinary things in the past. So let's reduce taxes.'. ... ?
No. A bit more focused intent please!

Folks - this isn't 'Trump news' is it? If he's trying to blow up the world then we need to know about it. But if he's just mumbling at a dinner - come on - there are other things to discuss than Trump aren't there?

@Jesii_ca_M As long as you reciprocate with the list of things he wants, you might have a chance. Send detailed evidence / photos so we can assess, tell us your weight and privide a report from each of your boyfriends, your contacts in your phone plus your entire online history.

Where can I find him, or if anyone here, let me know?
#dusksayin - in the #gmb break, could you balance things up a bit please? I'm thinking an old, well dressed gentleman being served tea by a young, half-naked woman. You know - simply reversing the genders - for balance.
Or would that reversal be disgusting and unacceptable?
@VantageGlobal03@MrPitbull07 It's not that complicated. It says the guy in the front had repeatedly asked the imbecile to stop. He was ignored. The imbecile continued to act aggressively. The guy in front adjusted his language when he firmly put his seat back to where it should have been.
Responding to an annoying but non-threatening behavior with a physical action that causes injury is a catastrophic escalation of a minor social conflict.
While the teenager’s behavior was undoubtedly disrespectful, the man’s decision to use his seat as a kinetic weapon represents a total loss of emotional control and a failure of adult maturity. This "eye for an eye" approach transforms a simple flight nuisance into a potential legal liability and a permanent trauma for the young man. We are witnessing a trend where individuals feel entitled to inflict bodily harm as a first resort for social friction, which only serves to destabilize the safety of public spaces for everyone. Tactical restraint is a sign of strength, not weakness.

A teenager kept kicking the seat of a passenger despite his pleas for him to stop. The man finally reclined his seat back, causing an impact that injured the young man 😳
Yes Ranvir, 'What would you do instead, James Cleverley?'. Exactly. 'Cut heating taxes' is no answer. Misses the point. ... and then you've got a revenue problem to fill.
Tories are incredible at not thinking things through.... and that's why we're here.

About 400 names flung over the screen while a few short songs were played. Bit disrespectful for the memory of those who worked for the music industry especially as Burgess wasn’t on this planet while presenting it #Brits2026#BRITs
@jonhopswan It could be worse. You could be a 49 year old in the same situation, sat with your 79 year old mother watching last year's edition.
Cherish this moment. These moments won't last forever.
I've had many low points in my life, but I currently find myself sat, as a 50 year old man with a blanket round his shoulders, watching the Brit Awards with my 80 year old Mother on a Saturday night #Brits2026
Are any of these bints in a relationship? Hopefully their partners see how much they're lusting after the bad boy, and chuck 'em back on the streets.
No wonder women are sh1t in relationships if this is normal. Imagine if the roles were reversed.
