So, Cameron's back.

what does Danny Dyer think about it, though?

Twat's in fackin Israel now innee?

Someone in the commons did ask Rishi "what was his greatest achievement in foreign policy?" to a few titters.

Suella Braverman logic failure.

Complaining that the immigration figures have hit a record high and how terrible Rishi Sunak is.

But, umm, you were only sacked just over a week ago, love.

If challenged she'd just say they ignored what she said they should be doing from the beginning.

I doubt it's any surprise to all here but she's really determined to make it obvious to any doubters what a truly horrible person she is though!
Bet spineless Rishi wish he'd dumped her months back.

Economic decline == increasing poverty and hardship == need for scapegoats.

True.

Although, you know, escape goats don't really take away our sins. It's just superstition. A persistent one that's plagued humanity forever, but it's always been complete bollocks, nonetheless.

So you're right that this is what folks are doing. But it is as pointless a gesture as praying to Zeus for World Peace, and if only our brethren would gain enough sense, one day, to realise this.


If escape goats were a real thing, then this incident in San Jose - of actual goats escaping - should have carried away a few decades worth of "sin" for us all.

If this is somehow "the winning formula" then, I confess, I just don't get the appeal at all.

Economic decline == increasing poverty and hardship == need for scapegoats. Get rid of them and everything will be great again.

True, very true.

Marine LePen and Tino Chrupalla (German AFD) here in Lisbon at the invitation of our extreme right for a Congress that include other extreme right leaders.
"Blah, blah, a different Europe because they love Europe blah, blah"

Our extreme right is on the rise and it's expected they will have a lot more votes on the upcoming March elections. I hear they are becoming popular with the new generations frustrated with the lack of jobs. expensive beyond access housing, etc, etc.
However the generation after them, the millennials is going to the left their major worry being the future of the planet.


Note: Somehow, the name of the German AFD leader, Tino Chrupalla, doesn't sound traditional German to me. It sounds more Italian or Spanish than German.

Well, England has Nigel Farage (it would appear he shares my German Huguenot heritage). Conversely, of course, Boris Johnson has an ostensively British surname but is a native-born USAmerican.

Graffitt said "End genocide in Gaza", is it?

It's the entire underlying stupidity of racism.

Here's the mathematical reasoning for why it makes zero sense:



Go far enough back, and EVERYONE, eventually, is related to everyone else.

It's machines, not foreigners, who're stealing all the jobs. It's greed and Tory ideology, that's ruined the economy - immigrants are actually, overall, a net positive that helps.

They wouldn't be on benefits, draining the state, if the law actually allowed asylum seekers to do work - then they'd be both paying taxes, supporting themselves, AND proving their case that they're here to contribute and integrate, so it's totally worth letting them in to save them from whatever poor, probably homophobic military / theocratic shithole they came from. And if we helped to globally eliminate poverty, these people would never leave their home countries in the first place - no-one does that lightly, and you do it when there's no choices left.

Stop voting for these racist shitheads. It's just causing a "doom spiral", where it gets worse and worse and worse.

Yes the True Finns are now in the government a proper load of nazis.

That explains the parties:

"In his testimony, Vallance said that during the pandemic, then-prime minister Boris Johnson struggled to understand data shown in graphs. This problem was not unique to the UK government, Vallance said"

Argentina joining the experimenting countries.
I just watched Javier Milei stating he has a shock plan that is the only way to solve all their economic problems.

I hope he is not as bad or worse than Bolsonaro.
