Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Brilliant, they detained and then booted out some EU woman not long ago as well. Israel actually minds who enters their country, unlike the UK, the dustbin of the world. As Sub says, WTF are our MPs going to Israel for anyway, they surely have enough to occupy themselves with our own problems.

The Sun Bed King's lackey and your latest hero Nigel Farage has deserted his post on at least nine occasions since he was elected MP for the seaside resort. Not surprisingly not a single word of complaint from you mon ami when Perma Tan's mate shows up in Miami.

Orwellian Britain is alive and flourishing and some people either are not aware of it or simply don't give a pfhuck.

As per my lifestyle and feelings of not worrying about anything I can't influence your last five words describe my feelings exactly.
PLenty of folk to worry about what may or may not happen and who can't cope when it does or doesn't happen. Guess who they turn to for help to deal with things?

There's no help coming from this Red Tory government mein freund. Tax increases up next.

We know that BT, however, I wasn't talking about government because they turn to us who do things instead of worrying about things and we do our best to help even if it is only advice.

Sir Nigel of Farage is not a member of the government, therefore nothing he can do about the ship of state drifting onto the rocks. On the other hand, the two returned empties do bear some responsibility for this sh1tshow and their time would be better spent trying to sort it out,
instead of grandstanding and virtue-signalling in the Middle East's one and only democracy.

I think Orwell was trying to warn us of greater dangers to our freedom than the Old Bill trying to stop a few halfwits and crackheads banging a drum in the middle of Manchester and trying to put Barclay's windows in.

I thought the job of an elected Member of Parliament was to look after the people of the constituency who voted you in, not have a dozen trips paid for by the Sun Bed King and his cronies to fly you into Miami.

What a quaint idea, so 1950's, which is where I sometimes think you're still existing mon ami.

So you claim it's OK for the head of a UK political party to be so obviously in the back pocket of the Sun Bed King? Dangerous times mon ami.

More to the point, mein freund, is just whose back pocket does the Sun Bed King occupy? Dangerous times indeed and the UK is just a minnow in the whole situation.

It is scary mein freund, how in the name of God did the Yanks vote this nefarious clown in again.

I have relatives in New York and Ottawa who are asking exactly the same question BT and I think the citizens of the USA & Canada have more to worry about on their plates at the moment than we do. Some people will be making enough sums from the stock market crash Trump has engineered and they will be getting rich while others go to the wall. Liberation Day indeed!??

For the leader of a British political party, and quite possibly the next PM, to have an amicable relationship with the President of the most powerful economic and military nation on the planet, is a very good thing indeed.

I would have thought that was just stating the bleedin obvious, but not it seems for Leftys. Trump Derangement Syndrome, it's one hell of a powerful tool. I believe Big Pharma are trialling vaccines but without much success.

Of course anyone is free to short stocks if they want, but seeing as in most stock markets around 95% of the wealth is owned by the richest 10% of the population, I fail to see how any market sell-off or crash benefits the richest. Elon Musk, for instance, Trump's big buddy, is not a happy bunny at all, it's costing him billions apparently.
