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

[outwoodclaret]

Cyprus is ripping about the way the UK government have handled the situation, leaving them undefended. We even asked Spain to send a frigate because Starmer couldn't be arsed getting his arse into gear. By the time 2TK changed his mind (once again) the RN were a 7 day sail away, and even now haven't arrived to put our shield into place.

The countries reputation is in tatters and we are the laughing stock of the world. The country is a disgrace ran by a tin pot socialist government who can't run a bath. Unemployment on the rise, with the young suffering the most in low paid jobs.
We have uncontrolled immigration and a crazy net zero agenda that is destroying our industries and businesses with the highest energy costs in the world.

We have 9 million people claiming benefits, with a welfare system that doesn't encourage work and is far to generous.


The country is in a bloody mess

Frankly bc I think it is worse than that. And what is on offer to end the disorder? An anti-hostility Tsar for Islam. That should do the trick. Along with offering up to 40K for illegal migrants. It is heartening to know that, as 2TK said, the sensible people are now in charge. You’ve never had it so good.

Espana llama (Spain calling): If you’re wondering what politically incorrect warfare looks like, the Evil Orange Emperor of the New World Order and his pet gimp Benny the Pole, gave the go-ahead to bomb 180 civilians at the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls elementary school in Minab, southern Iran. The victims were killed in an US/Israeli missile strike on the first day of the unprovoked attack, most of them schoolgirls between the ages of 7 and 12 years old. The Hague beckons.

Please no repeating what the Evil Orange Emperor of the New World Order said, "the Iranians did it"

They did kill 30,000 of their own people though, just for protesting on the streets. No Hague for the Mad Mullahs and IRGC though, they've been tried and sentenced in the Court of the IDF, dead men walking. Has anyone seen the new Ayatollah recently, and does anyone know if he has one leg or two ?

[Balan]

I presume they're from Hezbollah Balan, soon sort them out.

Yes, from Hizbullah, Here its 'siren then bob' into the air-raid shelter every now and again, we have quiet a few scattered about in my village, and I seem to ' bob' inside the one behind my house daily! ''Luckily'' I stay inside just about 10 mins each time ,with about 10 others joining me. After all I am about 30km's from the northern border with Lebanon.

Iran is a suspected terrorist mon ami so what happens in their enclave happens. The Evil Orange Emperor of the New World Order is a vile, narcistic, despotic, lying hypocrite, so too is his pet sidekick - Benny the wicked Polish Jew and they just deliberately bombed 200 kids. The Hague is calling.

Might not even get a mention in the UK press sinkov but when the reports re-surface which have been withheld and were previously sent to the FBI including accusations that Epstein, President Donald Trump and at least two other people were accused of ***ually assaulting a thirteen-year-old girl get uncovered and substantiated, the brown stuff will seriously hit the fan.

The child alleged that she was told to engage in oral activity with Trump, who allegedly forced her head down. She bit him, and in response, he punched her in the head. Not forgetting Trump is also a convicted felon.

Other night two Yanks were in the same bar as us and Trump was saluting six dead US soldiers while wearing a white golf cap.

Turned out they were two Vietnam veterans, I swear to God if Trump had walked in that bar he was dead.

Saw that mon ami, did occur to me the lad has no class, but at least he was there. I still cannot believe that the Dems were sitting on evidence against Trump in the Epstein files for 4 years and did nowt about it. They are quite happy to lie about him and make stuff up, so why would they ignore real evidence ? It just doesn't make sense.

Anyway what are you doing wasting your time on here ? Get yourself back to your sunbed and San Miguels and have a good holiday.

I'd love too mon ami, but it's raining and windy, we might as well be in Skegness!

This is not mine I promise, it is copied and pasted:

Accused pedophile Donald Trump says that girls have to be “of age, like above six years old,” in a completely bizarre and very disturbing dementia rant at the Republican retreat!

In what appears to be an appeal to Congress to pass his election-stealing “Save America Act” which would make it wildly difficult for married women to vote, Trump went on a deeply insane tangent in which he appeared to claim that he considered young girls above six years old to be “of age.”

“And I put that down as a top three. Look, no mail-in. Now, you have the exceptions for the military, and I would even say foreign-based military. But for the military, for disability, for illness. And if you're traveling, you know, you have an excuse. And I was lenient on that. But those three things. Then I added two more. These are best of. You know, best of. These are called best of Trump…” rambled the president.

“We should also add on to this bill. And so what I've asked Mike to do is to draw a new one with these few things added. And let's go for the gold.”
Then he got very, very, creepy.

“Let's not just get one like voter ID, but, you know, it can be given to you by your daughter. You know, your daughter, she has to be of age, like above six years old, she's allowed to say. You had to see some of this stuff is so bad. They're doing everything possible.”
What the f*ck does THAT mean?
Is this the most damning Freudian slip of all time?
Trump has previously spoken of his “age limit” when it came to girls…in that he doesn’t have one. In an interview with Howard Stern in 2006, Trump said “If I- No, no, I have no age–. I mean, I have an age li… “I don’t want to be like Congressman Foley, with, you know, 12-year-olds.”
Was he sanitizing his ***ual appetites for the media and now letting the truth slip in the throes of dementia? In his birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein, he said they “shared certain things,” and Epstein was notorious for his hunger for very, very young girls. Is that what they shared?

Even in the most generous reading of this statement, it makes no sense whatsoever.

So either the President of the United States is demented beyond comprehension, or he’s a demented pedophile beyond all comprehension.

The Dems would be better off if, instead of fixating on Trump, they got themselves sorted out with some sensible policies and a vision for the future of the USA, preferably one that does not include fruitcakes like Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsome, Chuck Schumer, Tim Walz or Hakeem Jeffries. More fruitcakes and eco-loons per square mile than our LibDems and Greens have, and they're thronged with them.

Ha ha. That's why I am in Goa. The Canaries is far to cold in the winter and early spring.

Temp round the pool 32c and on the beach a cool 28c with a slight wind, not a hurricane like you get in Fuerteventura

Brilliant place is this, cheap as chips. The food is amazing and the beer and vodka cranberies are flowing from dawn to dusk

Two golfing mates of mine shot off to Dubai for a fortnight of frolicking, they are still there wearing flak jackets and tin hats. Trumps a pfhucking star!

From a Yank on Facebook - Trump be damned…
Listen here you bone-spur, spray-tan mess of a commander-in-tweet.
You’re standing there in your red tie like a bloated jack-o-lantern telling oil tanker crews to “show some guts” and sail through the Strait of Hormuz like it’s some damn episode of The Apprentice.
Bitch, those are real human beings.
They’ve got families. Kids. Mortgages. Lives.
And you’re over there barking orders from a gold-plated toilet seat in air-conditioned comfort, acting like courage is something you can demand from other people while you’ve spent your whole life dodging it.
Let’s talk about guts.
You dodged the draft with “bone spurs.”
You’ve never been on a tanker.
Never stood watch in hostile waters.
Never had missiles pointed at your ass while trying to keep a ship and crew alive.
But suddenly you’re Admiral Cheeto Christ of the Seven Seas, telling sailors to risk getting blown out of the water so you can puff your chest out on television.
That’s not leadership.
That’s cowardice wrapped in a flag and dipped in self-tanner.
Real leaders don’t gamble with other people’s lives like they’re chips in a casino.
Real leaders don’t sit safely behind a podium telling working people to “show guts” while they’ve spent 70-plus years showing nothing but ego, ignorance, and the emotional maturity of a feral toddler with Wi-Fi.
If you want guts, pumpkin, here’s a thought.
Put your own orange ass on the tanker.
You sail through the Strait of Hormuz first.
You stand on the deck.
You take the risk.
But we all know that’s never happening.
Because the only thing you’ve ever sailed through is bankruptcies and bull****.
So spare the world your tough-guy routine, you cowardly, loud-mouthed, spray-painted mascot for bad decisions.
Until then, keep your mouth shut about courage.
Because the people actually risking their lives out there have more bravery in their pinky finger than you’ve shown in your entire damn life.
Girl bye.

You certainly have some serious issues BT

Lots of Brits who have connection flights home via the middle east are now stranded out in Goa, and are having to pay extortionate prices for direct flights to London from Mumbai. Fortunately we booked on a direct flight with Tui Manchester/ Goa return, so have no issues.

The resort is now very quite with the hotel running around 25% occupancy. The beach gets quiter every day, along with the shacks and restaurants. Locals saying that there is around 3 weeks supply of LPG left which they cook with

This place shuts in 4 weeks time when the rainy season kicks in and the migrant workers go home. Lots of Nepalese work the bars and restaurants here, and when the season ends at the end of April (rainy season May-October) they all head home for the treckin season and then back out in the autumn
