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

[The Bedlington Terrier]

We really are involved in an internal, domestic political war. Starmer is going after Farage big time and George Galloway and his wife were detained by police under the Counter-terrorism and Border Security Act at Gatwick airport on Saturday.

The former MP was stopped by counter-terrorism officers after arriving in London from Moscow, via Abu Dhabi, according to reports.
The Workers Party of Britain, the party Mr Galloway leads, said the detention was “politically motivated intimidation” and demanded he be freed. The couple were later released without charge.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said Mr Galloway and Putri Gayatri Pertiwi had been detained under schedule 3 of the Counter Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019, which allows officers to stop, question, search and detain a person at a border area to determine if they have engaged in hostile activity.

It's reported over 1000 people arrived on the south coast today by dinghies, why were the Counter Terrorism and Border Security agents bothering George and not manning the beaches in Sus***?

Can't be arsed to find out exactly why, but in Portland the ICE building and agents are attacked and abused every night, so are any local citizens who complain about the disturbances and noise in the locality, but the Police stay away. They just won't turn up, ICE and the general public are on their own as Lefty thugs run riot. Beats me.

Of course Antifa exists mon ami, just because they organise themselves into tightly knit, independent cells doesn't mean they don't exist. It's nothing new, the French Resistance did the same in WW2, and they existed alright, ask the Gestapo.

My God this bollox is straight out of Trump's playbook. Do you read it every night mon ami?

No idea what you're on about, every word I posted is factual. The Portland Police do not respond to any calls from the vicinity of the ICE building.

I have a very old & cherished friend who lives in Portland and he says Trump is taking the pi$$.

Officials in Portland have pushed back against the decision and rejected the president’s characterization.

“There is no insurrection. There is no threat to national security and there is no need for military troops in our major city,” said Oregon’s Democratic governor, Tina Kotek.

He also said during a 20 minute 'phone call last night that the MAGA boys in New York's Ryder Cup are a "disgrace" to the United States and the great game of golf. We are whupping their arses anyway!

He said POTUS has no class and it shows wherever he goes and contaminates. Strong stuff from a committed Republican.

Just racked up in a Taxi at Manchester airport delivered via a so called reputable Taxi company. Taxi driver was Pakistani and spoke pidgion English, on approaching the airport he put a bobble cap on and put his hoodie over his head and cap.

Says to me he was working under the radar and claiming benifits. These legal and illegal immigrants are taking the piss, they are ripping off the tax payers.

We need to go down the Trump route with a similar snatch squad to ICE and clean the country of this garbage

The Mayor of Portland and the Democrat majority City Council says so, that's who. Portland is a Sanctuary City and as such the Mayor has prohibited any contact or co-operation between Portland Police Department and ICE.

You really need to widen your knowledge of what's actually happening in the USA mon ami, don't be mug enough to believe that the Lefty media will give you the full SP.

I trust my old mate mon ami. He says Trump is a crazed Orange Buffoon with a granddaughter who is already a "self-made millionaire" at the age of 17. Orange Buffoon? His words not mine.

And Chicago? Used to be my favourite City in the Whole World. Now Trump wants to fill it with the SS and FBI. And troops too# The man is a deluded power crazed crackpot.

I'm sorry ballcock I can't believe a person would admit to benefit fraud to someone in the back of a taxi.

What I can do is take you to a really cracking Asian restaurant and I know for a FACT 11 out of 12 of the staff are either here illegally or wrongfully claiming benefits. The food is bloody wonderful so I really do not give a $hit.

This is going to get very nasty and soon.

Thunberg's aid convoy, organised to deliver supplies to the besieged enclave, came under assault near Crete when multiple drones dropped irritant chemicals and stun grenades on the vessels.


Thunberg and fellow activists reported suffering psychological trauma during the strike, claiming their ship's radio signals were hijacked to blast ABBA tracks in what they described as psychological warfare.

The dramatic scenes forced Italian and Spanish naval ships to intervene, escorting the flotilla under heavy international scrutiny.

The incident has triggered a global firestorm, fuelling outrage among activists while deepening tensions with Israel, which has long accused Gaza flotillas of being political stunts rather than humanitarian missions.
