@ToryMemo82 Almost certainly? Nope. No law exists to prevent this.

This is almost certainly illegal.

@GuntherEagleman You’re such a twat.

🚨 CONFIRMED! President Trump is BRINGING OUR TROOPS HOME! First batch of 5,000 U.S. soldiers starting immediate withdrawal from Germany! NATO is panicking!

@BoyGeorge You’re never dull that’s for sure…

The good news is while getting rid of some idiots I am gaining new adorable followers. If you dislike me, why are you following me. Creepy!

@goatlady59 @afneil Fuck off magatard.

@afneil Full display of TDS

My monologue from today’s The Times at One with Andrew Neil: As often happens with President Trump, it’s not long before you end up in fantasyland.  Yesterday, in a long and at times incoherent social media post, he suddenly announced the US would start ‘guiding’ — his word —  commercial ships out of the Strait of Hormuz, where they have been stranded by his War on Iran.  On the face of it — at last an effort to unblock this vital supply route for the global economy.  Of course, it turned out to be no such thing. There will be no US Navy escort for stranded ships to go through the Strait in convoy. Or the navies of any other countries for that matter.  Just a so-called ‘co-ordination cell’ involving countries, insurance companies and shipping lines sharing data. Trump has dubbed it ‘Project Freedom’. But there will be precious few ships freed by this latest wheeze.  The UK’s Maritime Trade Operations agency, which works in tandem with the Royal Navy, said this morning the security threat level in the Strait remained ‘critical’. As long as that’s the case ships won’t risk the passage without Iran’s approval.  And that was before we had Iran claiming this morning to have hit a US frigate. America is categorical that none of its ships has been hit.  At first Tehran didn’t deign to respond to Trump’s latest initiative. But this morning Iran warned it would attack any commercial ships or US warships that tried to transit the Strait without its permission, reminding everyone it was in control of the Strait, which, of course, it wasn’t before Trump began his attacks on Iran.  Over 1,600 ships are now trapped on either side of the Strait. Only those of whom Iran approves and prepared to stump up $2m per ship to Tehran are allowed through. The truth is Trump has no idea how to reopen the Strait — or how to bring his war to an acceptable end.  He’s just rejected Iran’s latest peace proposals, which were full of unacceptable nonsense — suggesting the tyrants of Tehran are still in no rush for peace. But what happens next is anybody’s guess.  Mine is that Trump will simply play for time, as he has in Gaza. Last year, to much fanfare, he announced peace had broken out in the strip and reconstruction would begin.  Since when, there’s been very little peace and no reconstruction. But our attention has moved on. Gaza makes few headlines these days, even though it’s still grim on the ground.  Trump will be hoping for the same attention deficit towards Iran. Both sides have stopped raining down missiles, bombs and drones on each other. Not much else is happening. Nothing to see here. Let’s move along.  However, there is one mighty difference with Gaza: the Strait of Hormuz. The longer that stays closed the more the global economy is likely to be crippled. That’s already happening in Asia, where shortages are spreading and economies grinding to a halt.  The same fate is heading our way, slowly but surely. We are heading for shortages and massive price rises in all manner of materials — not just oil and gas — but jet fuel, helium, naphtha, fertilisers  — about which we know little but which are, in fact, vital to normal life.  No jet fuel, no flying.  No helium, no microchips, no microchips, no cars or household appliances, never mind the AI developments currently keeping the US stock market afloat.  No fertilisers, no food.  No naphtha, no building blocks for everything from textiles to rubber to car parts.  If, come June, the Strait is still closed then we will be entering a summer of misery thanks to Trump’s War. The chances grow by the day.  It has dawned on Tehran that controlling the Strait is a far more powerful weapon than a nuclear bomb. Though it’s not giving up on that either.  As the rest of us suffer, Trump will be declaring a fantasy victory. Which makes you wonder: if this is victory, what would defeat look like?

@billysandytodd Time for you to grow a penis.

It’s time for Europe to grow up and take care of themselves.

@Bbmorg How is getting what you voted for not democratic? It’s one of the most democratic policies ever introduced. You just don’t like it as you may end up with illegals on your doorstep. It’s pure logic.

Britain has stood up for democracy many times, the British won’t be bullied by Reform.

@SirSimonClarke @KemiBadenoch It’s called accountability for your vote, that’s why it’s genius and completely logical.

We need to stop illegal immigration, but this is abhorrent from Reform. Zia is proposing the siting of detention centres expressly as a form of political punishment for people and places that don’t vote Reform - not just Green, but presumably Conservative, Liberal and Labour too. (And what about Reform voters in those constituencies?) It would almost certainly be deemed an abuse of ministerial power for political purposes, and as such would likely be stuck down in court before ever being implemented, wasting millions for the taxpayer without detaining anyone. If it were to go ahead, it would still represent an appalling waste of public money as these sites might well not be in any way suitable for the proposed centres, or near the other infrastructure required. What’s worse is that he is doing all this to provoke outrage and draw attention to Reform a few days out from the local elections. Reform know what they are doing. But this goes beyond a pre-election stunt. It’s declared as a major policy commitment, and should be treated as such. We need a proper plan to leave the ECHR and restore safe border controls, not gimmicks that wouldn’t survive first contact with reality.

@emergenteffects Sounds like you’re worried…

This policy is going to look very silly when Reform win 650 seats and they can’t build any detention centres.

@JozeJechich_JJ Bang on, he works for Putin. Therefore is an enemy of the free world.

Oramai alle sparate di Trump non mi incazzo neanche più: quella fase è finita. Trump lo considero un nemico, né più né meno di Putin, a cui augurare le peggiori disgrazie, politiche e personali.

@0hour1 Fuck off vatnik.

Leaders in Europe are panicking as Trump signals the end of NATO.

@d_foubert Poland!!! They hate Americas fat lardy arses.

Should the US 🇺🇸 leave NATO and make a tripartite alliance with Israel 🇮🇱 and Poland 🇵🇱 ?

@The_FJC Fuck off soy boy.

Europe has had 80 years of peace and prosperity. Know why? American soldiers. American money. American sacrifice. Trump just sent them a bill in the form of 5,000 fewer troops. They're "disappointed." Good. Pay your own way for once.

@The_FJC Fuck off.

Germany has the 4th largest economy on earth. Built entirely under American military protection. Trump pulls 5,000 troops and they call it a betrayal. Betrayal. America rebuilt Germany from rubble in 1945. The nerve of these people is absolutely staggering.

@jurgen_nauditt If he is then the US is our new enemy. Alliances with Canada, Mexico and all of the South American countries will become vital. Isolate the US on their own continent where every country hates them.

Trump – No Tomahawk Cruise Missiles for Europe. Is Trump deliberately weakening Europe against a Russian attack? Trump's announcement to reduce the US military contingent in Germany by more than 5,000 troops and to completely rescind the deployment of a battalion with long-range weapons – including Tomahawk cruise missiles – personally promised by Biden, is not just a dangerous U-turn. It is a strategic error of historic proportions that undermines the entire European security architecture. FT. While Biden had explicitly positioned the presence of American long-range weapons in Germany as a response to the growing Russian threat, Trump is now signaling precisely the opposite: America is withdrawing, deterrence is being weakened, and NATO's eastern flank remains vulnerable. More than 5,000 fewer troops in Germany mean, specifically, less training capacity, less rapid response capability, and less credibility with Moscow. The Tomahawks, which Putin has so far had to take seriously, will remain in the US – or will not be deployed at all. This isn't "cost optimization," it's a gift to the Kremlin. You can twist and turn it however you like: This policy appears to be a deliberate attempt by Trump to weaken Europe as much as possible for Russia's next move. Whether driven by isolationist indifference, a misguided "America First" logic, or an undisguised sympathy for authoritarian leaders, the result is the same: Putin receives the clear message that the US is no longer prepared to defend its European allies with full force. Germany, Poland, the Baltic states, and Ukraine are paying the price for this American self-disempowerment. Europe is now being forced to finally assume responsibility itself—unfortunately, it's clear that most European states are neither financially nor politically capable of doing so.

@ShellyLMcLean10 @catturd2 Better than raping a 13 year old girl I guess...

An actor, who played a President and played piano with his dick for comedy. Is then elected to be President; acts like an authoritarian dictator banning other political parties; churches; balanced media while politicians fly in for their take of the $. We financed their corrupt politician’s pensions and small businesses while ours disappeared. Freeland brought a Nazi to parliament and sent billions to corrupt Ukraine. Now she works for them 🤬 How many poor Ukrainians lost their lives over this senseless war. Ukraine was the most corrupt European country before the wars. Have you seen how their politicians live; mansions/Sports cars. 🇨🇦 took on billions of debt … got what exactly 🤬

Europe can finance Sniffy the Clown.

@catturd2 Stupid fat neck beard. Fuck off.

@_HenryBolton It's an absolutely perfectly logical policy. Everyone gets what they want... or maybe you don't want thousands of unvetted illegal immigrants on your doorstep, why ever not? You sound like a typical champagne socialist.

Reform says it will build new immigration centres in areas that vote Green. Democratic politics is not punitive. Authoritarian politics is. Illegal immigration policy, including the location of any detention centres, should be based on national objectives and requirements, security, operational necessity, efficiency, and logistics such as access to airfields for removal, not on punishing whole communities for how some - perhaps a minority - of them voted. As a policy is not only inefficient, it’s confrontational and deliberately divisive. It’d set voters against voters and councils against central government when the real task is to restore national control. Furthermore, detention centres should be offshore, or at least remote and secure, not dumped into population centres as a political stunt. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05/0…

@JackHadders @ZiaYusufUK Brilliant. Absolutely genius.

I think this is perhaps one of the greatest policies ever from Reform. You’re a woke Green leftie who thinks we need to take in every criminal migrant possible? Well @ZiaYusufUK will put them in your back garden. Enjoy the consequences of your actions!

@TeamUnion_UK @afneil Wrong.

@afneil Respectfully disagree.. In my view, they were there to protect and project... Germany got fat whilst America paid for their defence.. as have many countries, for decades now. America is not the villain here.

Good luck continuing to wage your war against Iran without your German bases. Well nigh impossible. US troops aren’t in Germany to protect Germans. They’ve been there to project US power. Bye bye.

@aimee_punessen @FrankenforIowa Check your facts, there are more European defence manufacturers than US ones. Check out their share prices too… typical dumb yank.

@FrankenforIowa Yes they will purchase from fantasy European companies that do not exist.

The new European Defence Union will not be purchasing materiel from Trump's USA. That is a massive blow to the US defense budget...everything will get more expensive.
