Trump Booed at Libertarian Convention ‘No wannabe dictators!’
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Ross Ulbricht is who Trump says he will release from prison back into the community. Tells you much of what you need to know: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Ulbricht -
I know a couple of normally Democrat voting women who stated they refused to vote for Hillary because she didn’t divorce Bill after his Lewinsky affair. I am sure this was a factor for many women. But I think a bigger factor is the U.S. is not yet ready for a female President, too many voters have their heads stuck in the 1950s.

Rishi Sunak vows to bring back National Service

Doomed, doomed, we’re all doomed. -
I think you’ll find, I and others, have been discussing the failures in UK policing for a number of years now. In posts following my own months long visits to the UK I have frequently mentioned the total absence of police officers outside of transport hubs. Zoe lost her phone and an opportunist thief took advantage of her loss, it happens. Welcome Zoe to the reality of crime millions live with up and down the county. If only somebody had warned the Tories that reducing police numbers and decimating community policing would result in an increase in crime.

Rishi Sunak vows to bring back National Service
Chomper Higgot replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
I would certainly agree that the Tories have failed to grow the economy. Offering National Service funded by taxes in place of real jobs with real training and of course zero hour contracts. Sunak and his failing party are stone tone deaf. It’s time for a change. -
Rishi Sunak vows to bring back National Service

Sunak’s idiot idea is being roundly mocked from all quarters: Nigel Farage, the honorary president of Reform UK, told the BBC that the proposal was designed to appeal to his voters but ultimately a “joke” and “totally impractical”. Although Farage seems to also be implying that Reform voters are attracted by ‘joke’ policies that are ‘totally impractical’. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/26/rishi-sunaks-national-service-pledge-is-bonkers-says-ex-military-chief -
Rishi Sunak vows to bring back National Service
Chomper Higgot replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
The whole idea, which isn’t going to be implemented anyway, is being roundly ridiculed in the media. Maybe a few of the octogenarians who saw national service think it’s a good idea, or at least those who thought it was a good idea when they went through it. Anyone with any critical faculties left will ask the obvious question - where’s the money coming from? -
Precisely there are no elections Therefore no claim to Hamas being the legitimate representative of the Palestinian people in Gaza. Polls - your having a laugh. Hamas have the people of Gaza in an open grip of tyranny. Hamas frequently murder Palestinians who speak up against at them. Your poll needs printing on soft paper.

The internet is an example of a platform on which automation has been implemented and thereby stopped out jobs. Online banking, flight bookings, hotel reservations being common examples. -

It just an observation. You mention stuff working. Nothing Sunak promises ever seems to work. I believe voters have noticed. -
Unless you can show me the result of recent free and fair elections I do not accept they do support Hamas. Hamas has an iron grip on the people of Gaza, they are not free to choose. Not an argument that finds favor with those support the continuing carnage and collective punishment of Palestinians in Gaza but very clearly Hamas hold Palestinian la in Gaza under a brutal regime of control.
