  1. Note to Americans who are overseas: You’re not in Kansas anymore.
  2. It wasn’t me who introduced the wildly irrelevant 2nd amendment to this thread. look closer to home for the stupid usual nonsense.
  3. So let’s put that to the test: If ‘those [STEM students] aren’t the one’s anyone is talking about’ does the halt to new student visa interviews and social media vetting exclude applicants to STEM program? Or is your claim nobody is talking about those [STEM] students a fabrication of your own misunderstanding of what the Trump administration are doing?
  4. A very odd thing to say in this particular thread. Are we now to expect Trump to demand Americans be afforded the right to bear arms while abroad and sanctions against any Government that denies that ‘right’?
  5. It’s not an entirely free market. The Renters’ Rights Bill addresses many of the problems of rent rate fixing/gouging. A piece of legislation that, when it comes into force later this year, will positively help millions of working class tenants across the UK. Adding local rent controls to that legislation would be a very effective means to prevent landlords passing the costs of improving their assets on to their tenants.
  6. Which Americans have had their free speech restricted in the UK by PM Starmer?
  7. No it’s not a mistype. King Canute* ordered the tide not to rise. https://blogs.bl.uk/digitisedmanuscripts/2016/11/turning-the-tide.html *edited by Elwood to use the normal English spelling and avoid offense.
  8. Jonny, the subject of the thread is not ‘rape gangs. As PM Starmer doesn’t send anyone to prison, that’s the job of the courts, and they aren’t imprisoning anyone who is a political opponent of the PM or for criticism of the Government’s policies. Nothing Yaxley Lennon has to say is anything to ‘go by’, he’s nothing more than a habitual law breaker.
  9. Explain to me why it’s a bad thing that some foreign graduates of Ivy League universities who predominantly study STEM programs remain in the U.S. after their graduation, often with Masters/PhD degrees?
  10. Change the law to stop landlords passing on the costs of improving their asset value to their tenants. Jobs a good ‘un.
  11. That assumes the aims stated by the habitual liar Trump are the actual aims.
  12. U-turning on his tariffs is indeed a good move. And he does it so very often.
  13. Please provide evidence of these pensioners that you assert froze.
  14. My current favorite is Trae Crowder (AKA Liberal Redneck). I fell asleep the last time I heard a right-winger trying to be funny. The subject OP gives an excellent example of the reactionary stuff nobody wants to listen to.
  15. The fact that all the best humour is leftwing doesn’t mean there’s bias. It’s just that the rightwing humour is dominated by the reactionary stuff nobody wants to listen to. This issue of GB choosing to pull the plug on a ‘comedy show’ is simply market forces at play, the ‘power of the market’ being yet another cornerstone of rightwing ideology to be abandoned when it goes against the rightwing need to be offensive on TV.
  16. What a very curious suggestion, I wonder what brought that to your mind?!
  17. “Something strange is going on here. Not convinced we are not being gaslit about something about this character, but no idea what as in the videos he for sure looks to be a white guy. At the very least I'd like to know what drugs he is taking as whatever he is taking he looks way younger than 53. “ I think I know precisely where it is that that ‘something strange’ is ‘going on’.
  18. Nah, it’s a desperate wish. There a curious switch in the behaviour of the customary grievance mongers. Robbed by the swift police announcements of the opportunity to engage in perjorative speculation targeting immigrants/muslims they are now feeding their need for sullen grievance with the baggage they carry around in their own heads that has absolutely nothing to do with this awful incident. I do hope they don’t get carried away, we absolutely do not need riots targeting middle aged white British men, their businesses, property, places of worship and neighborhoods.
  19. No but they do investigate public complaints. It seems a the show’s audience didn’t find it funny.
  20. GB News is a private company, it seems they’ve produced a comedy show that’s not funny.
