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

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I'm about to sign off for the summer, Spain is calling, so now Keir Starmer and Labour’s right wing face political oblivion because of their sheer incompetence, vengeful factionalism and dishonesty, we are witnessing a richly deserved political demise that is drenched in cronyism, career centric self-interest and a pure hatred of socialism.

Now deeply unpopular across the British electorate and possessed of no discernible vision, a lack of any distinct principles or morals beyond short term political survival, Starmer and his cohorts who run the British Labour Party who gleefully suck up to global elite wealth, revere Israel and that odious State’s allied US political power base.

Starmer got to where he is by manufacturing and weaponizing false claims of Jeremy Corbyn’s alleged anti-Semitism. The electorate of England, Wales and Scotland have shown their disdain for this deceit and duplicitous way of operating and are about to show him the door.

The well-known maxim “nature abhors a vacuum” cannot save the Conservative and Unionist Party despite Badenoch’s sterling efforts to protect her beleaguered and defunct party to survive and fill the hole in Westminster that Starmer will leave.

To fill the political vacuum the electorate in England seem willing turn to the money grasping grubby racist called Nigel Farage or the Green Party with a leader who is now in the telescopic shooting sights of a hateful and vengeful right wing controlled British media.

Meanwhile, the useful idiots must put up with rising prices in food stores and at the petrol pumps. In the immortal words of the Motown maestro Marvin Gaye, “What’s Going On” and can someone please step up to the plate to save us all from our deeply entrenched political paucity and mediocrity? Enjoy the summer all.

I get the district impression that your flirtation with the Greens will be short-lived mon ami, nothing more than political expediency, which is disappointing, what happened to principles ?

Have a good summer, going to any bullfights, it's 13 years since my last one, I miss them.

It's my birthday today and this piece from Australia is too good not to share:

“Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us..
Hey Mc****itty-****-Face! ������
Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, *****phile protecting, **** star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your ****ing mouth.

Better than a slice of birthday cake.

I think he's a bit biased, or just eaten a bad pie. Incidentally, I love the idea of an Aussie complaining about someone else being a big-mouthed gob****e. Has he never seen his own cricket team ?

God bless America.

People from all across the globe hate Trump mon ami. I know you are a serious fan of the Orange Gob$hite and you will inevitably fall back on your default position that anyone who questions his health or mental faculties simply suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome, a made-up disease used by Trump to attack his critics. This clown is a real threat to global security and we all know it .

TDS is not made up mon ami, millions of people suffer from it, many of them unknowingly. The endless confection of lies and mis-information spewed out about him by the media may be simply Lefty bias, or hatred/malice but the sheer derangement of Democrat politicians and Lefty journos comments about him point to something deeper, they are simply rendered incapable of rational thought, or acknowledging empirical evidence, and the vast majority of people listening to or reading this cascade of garbage actually believe it.

How many people, for instance, still believe that Trump inspired the Jan 6th so called insurrection, because they heard the irrefutable evidence on the BBC. The splicing together of the tapes by TDS infected BBC employees (why else would they do it ?) to make it appear he was calling for an insurrection when he most certainly was not, is the tip of the iceberg, I could give you many more examples that the gullible public has fallen for.

Melanie is not in China and here's probably why...

Blockbuster report reveals that Trump’s ultra-devoted young aide and rumoured paramour is the secret fuel behind his unhinged late-night Truth Social antics!

Donald Trump is widely perceived to be spiralling out of control on Truth Social late at night, but he isn't doing it alone. He’s being indulged by a much younger female aide more than willing to stay by his side all night leading to long-standing rumours of an affair.
According to a new Wall Street Journal report, executive assistant Natalie Harp is the driving force behind many of Trump’s most unhinged and offensive late-night Truth Social rampages.

The 34-year-old former One America News host brings the 79-year-old president stacks of printed posts (often conspiracy theories, racist content, and AI slop), gets his approval, then logs into his account and blasts them out while he should be sleeping.
Harp has unprecedented access to Trump. Senators reportedly text her directly when they can’t reach the president. But her extreme devotion has sparked years of affair rumours inside MAGA circles.

Reports reveal she once went so far as living in the ladies’ locker room at his Bedminster golf club for more than a month just to stay close to him after she was shut out from normal accommodations.
Harp has reportedly written gushing letters to Trump saying things like “You are all that matters to me” and that she only wants to bring him “joy.”
Gossip aside, Harp is the enabler who encouraged Trump to push out the racist video depicting the Obamas as apes and the bizarre AI image of Trump as Jesus Christ, both later deleted after backlash.
While Trump’s inner circle is reportedly fed up with the chaos she helps create, Harp answers to no one except Trump himself. She bypasses the chief of staff and communications team, feeding the president’s worst impulses at all hours of the night.

Since taking office, Trump has posted a staggering 8,800 times, with frequent all-night posting binges that suggest he’s barely sleeping.
So here we have an ill-rested, elderly president obsessively rage-posting into the early morning hours, allegedly enabled and coddled by a young, clearly smitten aide who is frequently in his private quarters at all hours, a privilege afforded no other staff member.
The entire spectacle is embarrassing, dysfunctional, and completely unfit and inappropriate for the White House. And its results speak for themselves.

The greeting at the meeting with Streeting was noticeably fleeting and I can only hope this is farewell Keir. Disastrous as the Human Rights lawyer has been for this country if Keir is in fact to be replaced I can guarantee that the Labour party will continue to ignore everything the electorate has been telling them. Borders will not be closed (except to people whose opinion they do not like) and they will surrender to the EU.

A blind man on a galloping horse saw that the Orange Cretin instigated the January 6th insurrection. It's lamentable to deny he didn't.
