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

[sinkov]

Where are we now? The country is dropping down the World Happiness League table like a stone and with good reason. Labour and Conservative have been taking turn and turnabout for decades of inexorable decline. They both stand together against any party that challenges their duopoly of power so it suits both of them to turn their fire onto the Reform party. I have come to have little faith in any political party setting new standards in public morality. Did anyone really think Free Gear Kier and his team were going to be any different when they rode into town? I don’t expect Farage and friends will be paragons of virtue but we need something to shake up Westminster. You have to vote for change. Two-tier got that right.


We are out of Europe now though some if not most days you would not know it and there are plenty still clamouring for us to clamber unceremoniously back into a European state that seemingly wants to ignore the harsh lessons of its failed expansionist policies. The world economic order has been thrown into chaos. Free trade is going out of the window as Trump imposes protectionism on the international stage. Selling off our assets has in the UK has left us with a legacy of critical industries and utilities in the hands of owners many foreign with a record of putting profits ,director bonuses and shareholder dividends ahead of performance and service. It is a mess. No doubt of that and it has put us at a crossroads where maybe we can still choose which direction we go in.

Apart from the above Sir Outwood, what problems do you think this country faces ?

I think I have deal with the tip of the iceberg there. What lies under the surface will probably sink HMS Great Britain when we hit it. Unless the berg melts first of course in which case we?ll probably all drown. Still mustn?t grumble.

Which confirms my philosophy about not worrying about things which may or may not happen ---just deal with things IF they do happen. There is definitely no need to stress over anything in life, just live it to the full and deal with whatever it throws at you whenever, or if, it happens.

I have recently embraced your philosophy mein freund. 4 x foreign holidays with flights already booked and one in the UK with the grandkids all before the New Year kicks off.

Woke up this morning (Thank You God) to read the latest news on Ratbag Reeves in Downing Street and the Sun Bed King in the White House. It might be best to just go back to bed.

The global fightback to the Sun Bed King continues, can our comedy act Starmer & Reeves stop licking Perma Tan's arse please?

Canada’s prime minister has said the era of deep ties with the US “is over”, as governments from Tokyo to Berlin to Paris sharply criticised Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on car imports, with some threatening retaliatory action.

Mark Carney warned Canadians that Trump had permanently altered relations and that, regardless of any future trade deals, there would be “no turning back”.

He told reporters: “The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over.”

Lucky you, you woke up, you could go back to bed, this poor lad won't be waking up again, thanks to your mates, the terrorist scum. When I talk about 'these people', it's the sort of people who support murderous scum like this I'm talking about, people with no moral compass whatsoever.

"Hamas torture protester to death and leave body on family?s doorstep. Terrorist group kidnaps Oday Al Rabbay shortly after he took part in protest against the war"

"Oday Al Rabbay was kidnapped shortly after participating in the protest and returned to his family?s home dead and bloody days later.

"Mazen Shat, a senior police officer affiliated with Fatah from Ramallah and a vocal critic of Hamas, said: ?Uday was martyred by the criminals of Hamas. ?And what?s his crime? He told the truth, because he refused to be silent on injustice, because he did not kneel to Hamas,? he told The Telegraph. He said that Hamas tortured the young man for four hours straight. Images showed open wounds and bruising that left the man?s body swollen and bloody. ?Hamas is oppressing people in a brutal way,? Mr Shat said. ?Like a puppy on a rope around his neck, they dragged him to the door of his house and told his family that this is the punishment for those who complain about Hamas.?

And you support this, there is something seriously wrong with you mon ami. Incidentally, while the Telegraph reports on the scum's latest atrocity, there is no mention of it on either the BBC or Grauniad website. not surprising, doesn't fit the lefty narrative does it, so just ignore it eh.

My dad who had some brilliant one-liners used to say, "Don't $hit on your own doorstep". Perma Tan please take note...

"Airline travel between Canada and the US is “collapsing” amid Donald Trump’s tariff war, with flight bookings between the two countries down by over 70%, newly released data suggests."

The ordinary football fan in the modern money grabbing game shares much the same feeling of powerlessness that the majority of citizens do in our dystopian society. Irrelevant. Like Piffy on a rock bun.
