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

Israel has every right to be involved in any decisions on Gaza, it was their gift to the Pallys in 2005 after all, and what a pig's ear they've made of it. Incidentally, Netanyahu resigned from the government in protest at the withdrawal and dismantlement of the settlements, even back then, he knew.

You mean he knew eventually he would be able to rig a traumatic experience and justify blowing Gaza to bits and steal the West Bank using settler violence? Spot on mon ami.

I knew as well mon ami, I said 20 years ago you couldn't expect that lot to run a chip shop. As usual, I was right. In fact they're such a set of numpties they're going to ship Tony Blair in to run it for them. Say no more.

Saw a US news report that Blair is not going to get his ego brushed

I have relatives living in the USA but my interest in what is going on there is very much centred on family matters and welfare. As for politics in the States I leave that for the citizens there to decide. I am much more concerned with what is going on in my hometown of Radcliffe, in Bolton and Manchester and the rest of the now disunited kingdom. People have had enough of failure by successive Governments and are demanding real change. They are not far right, they are not Nazis and they are sick and tired of being labelled as such. They are watching the breakup of communities all in the name of some multicultural diverse Utopia which is in fact becoming a nightmare.This didn?t happen overnight but has gone on unchecked for too long. Starmer and his Labour Government just want to take this to the next level. End jury trials, bring in digital id, curtail free speech and legitimate protest. target pensioners and farming communities, open borders, sack people from their jobs who have opposing political views and call them an unhealthy influence on children. The danger of course is our political system will deliver something too extreme in response to the years of neglect and contempt for what once was referred to as ?the man on the Clapham omnibus?.

I totally agree with you Sir Outwood. I can sadly only envisage Farage and Reform UK will exaggerate the problem rather than alleviate it.

The crazy son of a bitch man-child now insists that visitors to the US, from countries including Britain, will be required to provide their social media history from the past five years.

This will be “mandatory” for tourists and other arrivals, even if they have a visa, and will be part of the application for an Esta (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation), according to the notice published on Tuesday by Customs and Border Protection.
Trump’s State Department also sent out a memo last week to staff telling them to check visa applicants for anyone who has been involved in “fact-checking” or activities including content moderation and online safety.

I’m not going to be able to visit Disneyland in Florida anytime soon.

Have you been engaging in anti-American activities mon ami, if not you'll be fine, if you have then they're quite right not to let you in.

Just to have form for criticizing the Orange man-child on social media means a person is not getting a Visa. Frankly I don't give a pfhuck because we have already booked our 90 day allocation to go to /Spain where we are always made welcome.

Tourism is falling in the US like a brick breaking through thin ice.

The Orange man-child is I fear, on the brink of a mental breakdown.
