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

More worryingly Sir Outwood is the reality of being imprisoned for disagreeing withe the policies of this pfhucking government.

And of course this sort of rhetoric is helping no-one "unrestricted migration of undocumented aliens". Are you turning into Tommy Mark 2?

'Undocumented' my arse, they're illegal aliens, the overwhelming majority fit young men of fighting age, virtually no women or children. How does that work ? How many have come to scrounge and play the system, how many are potential terrorists joining sleeper cells, Iran has boasted that they have hundreds of agents in Western Europe, just planning, plotting and waiting.

Any sensible government would have them back out of the country almost before their arses touched, but we live in a lunatic asylum.

Not a great fan of Trump as a person but he knows how to deal with a drug dealing tinpot dictator. While I was banging on in my December posts about Starmer turning us into Venezuela without the oil the Donald was working on plans to evict Maduro from his Caracas Palace.

Are the good people of Iran about to get their country back ? Hard to say, but the Ayatollah seems to have done a runner and the IRGC are mostly conspicuous by their absence. You'd hope both America and Israel are giving all the help they can, this chance may not come again for a while, but are they ?

Whilst over here, the BBC and the Grauniad are doing their best to ignore the situation, much preferring their usual role as mouthpieces for the vile Islamist regime.

A very intelligent and truly lovely Iranian guy lives directly across the road from me. He pfhucking detests the Ayatollahs and the whole regime. He wants to go home but his prospects for a long life are not good if he does. Stick or twist.

I often wonder just how many of these people who risk crossing the channel in a small boat are in the same boat as him. No pun intended.

XL Bully Boy now attacks defenceless Venezuela. Stealing oil and land no doubt next on the agenda.

Who is going to stand up to this mad dog? Not Starmer or the EU. China perhaps?

The International drug running scumbag Maduro will be spending the rest of his days in a US Jail. And good riddance.

"Maduro was widely considered to be leading an authoritarian government characterized by electoral fraud, human rights abuses, corruption, and severe economic hardship. Between 2013 and 2023, Venezuela dropped 42 places in the Press Freedom Index.[23] According to estimations by the United Nations (UN) and Human Rights Watch, under Maduro's administration people had been subject to extrajudicial killings and seven million Venezuelans were forced to flee the country.[24][25][26] The UN Fact-Finding Mission on Venezuela concluded that the country's justice system independence had declined; the mission also identified frequent due process violations, including political external interference and the admission of evidence through torture was alleged".

God bless America.

You and Trump are both as mad as a box of frogs sinkov. Whose next? Peru? Mexico? Colombia? Greenland? Canada?

This is imperialism gone mad.

Relax, BT, I'm sure that it won't be Bolton and surrounding district. Mind you, I would stay away from Spain if I were you because Donald might misinterpret something that the Venezuelans tell him.

Geopolitics mon ami, Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world, which are now no longer available to either China or Russia. Sounds good to me.

It's theft on a global scale sinkov. I'm reading the Venezuelan military is intact, the power vacuum will need to be filled by some sort of an institution and there is no way the US can put enough boots on the ground to fulfil that sort of obligation.

Another Iraq is inbound.
