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

"It was in a plush central London office space lined with leafy wall plants that Reform UK chose to make its big economic announcement today. Attendees were warmly welcomed with a lavish spread of wraps, canap?s and even beer on tap – before Nigel Farage and Richard Tice cut to their news: ‘We will scrap net stupid zero.’"

That will be another couple of million votes for Sir Nigel and Reform then, it's just so easy, or as the Donald says, 'it's just common sense'.

Sounds like a CLP meeting in Hyndburn does that. In a plush central Accrington office space lined with leafy wall plants that the CLP chose to make its big economic announcement today. Attendees were warmly welcomed with a lavish spread of wraps, canap?s and even beer on tap. Not!

USAF B52 bombers reported on the tarmac at RAF Fairford. I wonder where they are heading for ?

And it won't be Gaza.

Here we go. The US policing the world again.

Only time I ever agreed with David Cameron who understood the threat from Farage and Co and dismissed their followers as "fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists". Spot on Dave.

It is exactly that arrogance from our two main FAILED parties that is fuelling the rise in support for Reform. Substitute angry for Cameron?s list and you may be getting nearer the truth. Brexit succeeded because all the politicians/bankers/luvvies we didn?t like kept telling us how wonderful the EU was. In plain fact the EU made a disastrous expansion into Eastern Europe that in part provoked Russia to invade Ukraine and has with its freedom of movement and porous borders left us prey to criminal gangs and hordes of migrants. A great number of voters in France, Germany and elsewhere have come to the inescapable conclusion that the EU is being run by charlatans. I doubt whether any of those who are switching their political allegiance are so gullible to believe that any crop of politicians will necessarily herald a new dawn. What they are saying is they are fed up with being treated as second class citizens in their own country. Pensioners stripped of their winter fuel, farming communities threatened and the services (education,health, utilities) in crisis just for starters.

Stop making a drama out of a crisis mon ami, The US is just going to destroy Iran's nuclear bomb making facilities, and make us all much safer as a result. What's wrong with that ?

God bless America.

No concern for the harmless Iranians as usual sinkov.

No harmless Iranian citizens will be harmed in the strike on their nuclear facilities, which are mostly underground and not inhabited by civilians. So stop your mithering.

The US jets are probably going to bomb Ukraine. Trump said he'd end the conflict, he has, he's brown nosing Putin.

He’s done more damage to the Ukraine in a week than Putin and his North Korean chums have managed. He won’t need to send the bombers. They must be ltao in Moscow and Pyongyang.

Now I know you're on another fishing expedition with this one mon ami. The aggressive attitude of the UK, USA and Nato towards Russia is the main reason Putin invaded Ukraine, as you have pointed out on here before. Stop the Nato eastward creep and Putin will stop worrying about Ukraine. You know this, I know this and so does President Trump.

Trump's new mouthpiece Pete Hegseth also announced this week that America was no longer “primarily focused” on guaranteeing European security. The Germans have already planned for greater spending on defence. If Trump doesn't Pfhuck Ukraine up the Panzer Corp certainly will.
