Starmer Pushes for Closer EU Ties 'In National Interest'
There you go with your grievance fixation and scapegoating immigrants. And of course your completely off topic and totally baseless ‘racism and antisemitism’ slur. The average cost of a first time home in the UK is not £450,000 and with hundreds of thousands of empty homes across the UK it’s obviously not simply ‘a shortage of houses’. Almost 40% of welfare recipients are working, welfare supporting businesses paying low wages. But OK get behind cutting welfare from those people, they could always work two role three more jobs. Sorry to hear your nieces chose not to get an education because other people were no longer paying for it. Do the free education and grants you received as a student count as welfare I wonder or is it a handout you ignore when patting yourself on your back for having pulled yourself up by your own boot laces?

Labour are not governing, they are ruling. Labour are not taking the UK back into the EU or ‘giving up sovereignty’.

Which would all be believable if you were not so pathologically bitter. From my own experience, I’ve never met anyone happy with their own life who vomits hate on those less fortunate than themselves, conversely I’ve met many looking for a scapegoat to blame for their own failings. “Being white wasn't a disadvantage back then for job places either so I got a great opportunity based on merit.” I don’t know what being white has to do with things other than ‘white grievance’ being such a thing these days, oddly amongst those who claim to have made a great success of their lives.

It’s the Tory’s neo-liberalism and trickle down economics that robed you of all these things. But go ahead blame immigrants if it makes you feel better.

Terrifying anti-Semitic neo-Nazi group prepares for race war
Have you not worked it out yet? NAZIs hate Jews. You might want them to hate Muslims and be delighted if they do but they’ll eventually get back around to hating Jews.

Trump: oil companies 'reimbursed' for Venezuela spending?
Trump’s domestic supporters gave him their vote, oil and gas companies gave him dollars. Let me know if that’s not clear enough yet.

Etiquette for Americans when meeting non-Americans abroad ...
Here’s an insight. In the week after the J6 attack on the U.S. Capitol I attended a dinner party hosted by an American and at which there were 7 Americans and a handful people of other nationalities, Swiss, German, British and Australian. Over four hours of eating, drinking and chatting together. Not one American mentioned the attack on Capitol, though the absence of the subject was being quietly discussed amongst the other nationalities. [edit] all these people have known each other for a number of years and regularly socialize together. They are not strangers to each other.

Fake Admiral Exposed
It might not be as daft as it seems. There’s plenty of Brits in Pattaya and they’ve been conditioned over centuries to tug their forelocks when in the presence of ‘their betters’. Social hierarchy in the British expat community of Pattaya. Perhaps a fitting subject for an ethnography.

Trump - Being generous with US taxpayers’ dollars
“Donald Trump has suggested US taxpayers could reimburse energy companies for repairing Venezuelan infrastructure for extracting and shipping oil.” U.S. Oil Companies on the taxpayer’s tit. Welfare by any other name. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jan/06/trump-us-taxpayers-oil-firms-venezuela-investment

No they did not. They definitely included leaving the EU and remaining in a customs union, the ‘Norway Model’ being an example, but there are a number of nations in a customs union with the EU that are not members of the EU.

He’s a clue, it wasn’t anything to do with leaving the customs union. Try the B12 you might recall.

How is a joining a customs union un democratic ? Nobody voted to leave the customs union.

In the meantime the UK can join the customs union, call it a version of the ‘Norwegian Model’ if it helps sweeten the pill that will help cure the UK economy.

UK Slams Trump’s Maduro Arrest as Global Law Crisis Grows
Being accused of cowardice by a guy who gets off on watching a woman being slapped. It’s as ridiculous as your baseless claims.
-
UK Slams Trump’s Maduro Arrest as Global Law Crisis Grows
Yet more deflection Jonny. The meaning of your freely expressed love to see a woman slapped is clear. Rather than manning up about it, you try to deflect. Though of course manning up is a bit of an ask when, by your own admission, you get off on violence against a woman.

That too but that’s doesn’t excuse Jonny’s love of seeing a woman slapped either, or your acceptance of it.
