Once again, I’ll refer you to the history of appeasing tyrants.

I came across a very similar argument on RT. “Sorry, but Ukraine isn't worth 7 billion dollars of my country's hard earned taxes. ” Opinions differ. I personally think it’s a very small amount to pay to keep Putin under control. Far cheaper than appeasement. ’Peace in our time’ - Look it up.

I think the correct terms are ‘empowered’ and ‘validated’.

Putin would probably agree. Which brings up an observable truth, ‘supporters of America’s rightwing and the last Republican president take positions which align remarkably close to those supportive of Putin and his illegal war on Ukraine’. It’s a thing.

Zelenskiy is also the President of an independent nation, diplomatically he has equal standing to any other President.

The trade barriers erected by Brexit between the UK and its closest and largest trading partner are in place and causing increased costs, choking market access and supply chain restrictions to the Uk economy. While these remain in place they will continue to inflict damage on the UK economy, that’s what trade barriers do.

My wife and I spent an enjoyable evening sitting out in the garden with a bottle of wine watching the Geminids meteor shower. We counted over thirty meteors in an hour, some very bright. Also clearly visible in the night sky over Thailand this month are Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

So there’s some imaginary border, not nation, within which nations can ‘dictate to each other’, outwith which they must not? Where’s this border, where’s the dictating?

They might hate Washington but it’s not uncommon for people receiving cash handouts to hate those giving them money: https://smartasset.com/data-studies/states-most-dependent-on-the-federal-government-2022

It’s a gift to the DOJ. They have an easy to prove crime with which to nail people at the very center of Trump’s WH administration. Cutting a plea deal means giving up all crimes and knowledge of crimes. The first to cooperate gets the best deal. The prisoners dilemma at play.

Conspiracy to commit perjury. The committee are very right not to release names, just pass it on to the DOJ (evidence and testimony are being routinely passed to the DOJ) and let the wheels of Justice grind away. The unnamed witnesses know they are being referred to and they know the best thing they can do is cooperate. Good luck with your ‘Hardly going to be submitted to a real court’.

*Deleted post edited out* You are correct, while he himself doesn’t accept the fact, he’s not even President anymore. He no longer has his hand picked corrupt USAG running cover for him and neither does he have a GOP controlled Senate voting down his impeachment for crimes and abuse of power committed in plain sight. Look on the bright side, he is at least getting to keep this one campaign promise to release his taxes, even if we had to wait for the Democrats to help him do it.

Helping Trump keep his 2016 Campaign promise.

Erm, Hanukkah, it’s a Jewish festival.

Your assertion that Biden is not talking about ‘all antisemitism’ is based on your ‘wild guess’.

You presume!

What does anyone expect after 12 years of Tory mismanagement.

I wonder how many immigrants the UK can send to Rwanda before somebody in Rwanda asks ‘why is one of the richest nations in the world (GDP $3Trillion +) sending it’s immigrants to Rwanda (GDP $12Billion)? Smacks of dumping the UK’s problems on Rwanda, Colonialism 2022.

How fortunate for your argument that ‘your friend used to process claim 20 years ago’.

Once again, the Rwanda scheme is only applicable to people who are having their asylum applications considered. It is not illegal to enter the UK to seek asylum.

Oddly you give us a regurgitation of the view from the gutter press. They stoke this garbage to increase sales, the gullible fall for it.

The arguments for a British republicanism do not need to rely on racism, misogyny or any other form of hatred. In truth they’d be far better made without such hate.

Let’s do the math. 40,000 people crossed the channel in the past 12 months. The Rwanda PR stunt allows for 200 of which to be deported to Rwanda. Assuming all 40,000 were caught then the odds of being deported to Rwanda are 0.5%. This is a PR stunt, it has one objective, to distract from the Government’s failings and it’s means of doing so is by enacting a policy based on cruelty. It plays well to people within the Unitary Circle Venn Diagram.

It doesn’t surprise me at all that you and a few others here found Clarkson’s vile comments funny or otherwise excusable. I would have predicted as much.
