".. he's been charged with the attempted murder of two Jewish men and a Somali man earlier the same day"
Why does Daniel Sandford report the nationality of the third victim rather than his religion?

Uniparty latest.
When Labour, Lib Dems, Conservatives, and Reform are all pushing against the Greens, it should make it crystal clear who wants real change and who doesn't.

If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what was wrong with it.
When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes.

@PhilipProudfoot "Neoliberalism" has become a buzzword for anything that isn't basically socialism. You can't actually think we're living in some full on libertarian country right now
English
“The Greens don’t understand the economy” — it’s remarkable how completely neoliberalism captured “common sense.” Inequality and wage suppression have gutted the British economy, and people still log on to defend poverty wages and elite wealth extraction as if this model “works”

they’re calling it the stupidest tweet of all time…

Labour don’t want you to vote Greens. The Tories don’t want you to vote Green. Reform don’t want you to vote Green. That tells you all you need to know. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

So basically putting these centres in some of the most expensive areas in the country like London. Costing the taxpayer way more money just to spite parts of the electorate. Completely unserious

@NoJusticeMTG The point is those things don't necessarily go hand in hand. You could solve the climate crisis without all the other stuff

@K_Niemietz Why do you think left wing opinions are fashionable or dominant? There's a very solid right wing section of this country right now just as much as left
English
It hasn't provoked any "debate".
It has merely provoked a lot of self-congratulation from people whose opinions are already fashionable and culturally dominant. That's what makes it so utterly worthless.
lisa keeble 😊@lisakeb007
@K_Niemietz Brilliant art should provoke debate an emotion. This has done just that. As for the subject matter, what you glean from it depends on which flag you think is covering his face. Or is it supposed to represent blind allegiance to any flag and the damage it causes?

@Buezhy @CalArsenal That's what divisive means, he divides opinions. And I didn't say I didn't like him

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.

@SaintJaySZN Do you not see a tiny difference between kicking the police and kicking a terrorist
English
Funny how Polanski, the bad guy, is the one kicking somebody in the head in this fantasy because that's something villains do. But in reality, it was the police kicking the already grounded and tasered suspect on the ground in the head, repeatedly. So what does that make them?

@DouggieDabbler @tomhfh @RichardBentall You're arguing with yourself. Or at least not me, because I never said that
English
@owen9305 @tomhfh @RichardBentall In the brain of a retard, he thinks Britain would have grown 10% faster than Germany despite it never happening before. "It makes logical sense ya see". And "The Model Say so!" Utterly retarded.
English
@DouggieDabbler @tomhfh @RichardBentall I didn't say that, I just asked a question. But if all the predictive models are saying the same thing, and that thing makes logical sense, it feels like its more likely than not. I don't see the relevance of the last bit but non EU migration has got way higher since Brexit
English
@owen9305 @tomhfh @RichardBentall Lol you people still using predictive models as "facts that happened" are the biggest retards online. Given how many third worlders are here, that is a seriously impressive achievement.
