Stick it to 'em Donald. They've been taking the mickey for far too long. They absolutely love imposing tariffs on imports, let's see how they like it when the shoe is on the other foot. This could be yet another upside of Brexit. Thank god we left the failing federalist cesspit of corruption and protectionism that is the EU.

Indeed. In Thailand I think they call it "unusually wealthy". What's more, I bet that's the tip of the iceberg. I'd wager the rest of the Biden crime family have sizeable stashes tucked away as well.

I can't stand cats, but this is absolutely ridiculous. What is it about governments that they feel they can control every aspect of our lives? Cats on leashes? 😄 Next they'll be complaining that the rat, mouse, pigeon etc. populations have exploded.

I guess he has misguided sympathy for gun toting, drug taking, prostitute using degenerates, given how his (now pardoned) son turned out. Thank goodness Trump won.

They have to appear to be "progressive". They think it makes them appear intelligent to propose new and better ways of doing things, even if the original way was far superior. That's why we end up with big fat bearded hairy blokes being asked if they are pregnant when they turn up at A&E with a broken hand after a day on the building site. All to appease the 1% of the 1%. Meanwhile, the world laughs at the UK and their inane government.

😄 No chance.

Nonsense. Studies consistently show that men perform better in terms of things like spatial awareness, which is kind of important when flying military aircraft. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6591491/ It's normal and appropriate that men would be over-represented in things like aviation, motor sports etc. Trying to shoehorn diversity quotas into dangerous things ike flying aircraft is not a good idea. It sounds like she was not only female, but also a Lesbian and rumours suggest the reason her name was withheld (while the other 2 names were released) was to purge her social media of her attending PRIDE events with her partner etc. So it would appear that Trump did indeed have more information than members of this forum, as I said he did. Now, to be 100% clear I am not saying Lesbians cannot fly aircraft, I am saying that being a Lesbian should not give you a better chance of getting the gig in order to fill a diversity quota. It should be based purely on ability. Otherwise, bad things can happen. Let's hope the full investigation is honest and open and not an exercise in protecting DEI dogma.

Of course they are. They always break their promises. You can't trust them as far as you can throw them. Starmer is as bad as Biden in that regard, and will suffer the same fate.

No surprise. Starmer has a lot in common with Xi and doesn't really care about Britain's security.

Finally some sense from Trudeau. Nation states should always aim to be as self sufficient as possible and support domestic produce.

2 Tier Keir needs to accept his mistakes for once and remove this charlatan. Rachel from accounts is doing untold damage to Britain. Although I am starting to think that is part of the plan.

Yeah plug in hybrids are a good solution for people who do a short commute and have their own house. Unfortunately many people working in bangkok live in condos where there might be 10 charging stations for hundreds of rooms. These people commute hours every day the last thing they need is an hour or more to charge their car. Just another hour of their lives lost. Ok for retired expats in the middle of nowhere with solar panels on their roof. But they are the 1% of the 1%. A full EV would actually suit me quite well on my farm but it sometimes floods and I just don't like them in terms of the driving experience.

The charge time is the problem. Even 15 minutes is too much for me. As more and more people buy them there will be queues at the stations as well. With gas cars 3 of them in a queue is 5 minutes not 45. Plus they are soulless. Like driving a dodgem. An app that played v8 sounds through the speakers might help. Not too keen on having such a fire risk in my garage either. Even my E mountain bike battery makes me nervous. Ok for local use but not for long trips. I'm happy for others to buy though. Should keep the price of fuel low.

Yeah it's been happening for decades. They just became emboldened enough to admit it recently. They probably should have kept quiet. Admitting their racist sexist policies and even celebrating them was not a smart idea.

Irrelevant. We were doing great until the early noughties. That's when the cultural destroyers (sorry i mean enrichers) moved in. Downhill ever since. Just as you Americam Libs want it. In fairness our own British liberals want it as well. I guess that's why Labour sent 100 people to campaign for you guys. Bad move in hindsight like most Lib moves.

Try Reform. Even if they did 50% of what they are promising it would be a massive improvement.

Homogenous societies tend to have a greater feeling of belonging, compassion and responsibility towards society as a whole. Immigrants on the other hand feel no love or responsibility towards the country that helped them. They are there for what they can get. Second gen immigrants are often worse. They don't feel the occasional gratitude their parents felt towards the country that took them in. That's why we get the likes of the southport child slayer. British in name but a bitter Rwandan in nature. The authorities skew the figures by classifying second gen as "British" or "Swedish" or whatever to mask the figures. Their crimes go into the native category. Paper citizens. The leftists claim they are British or Swedish or whatever because they have a passport but their values are the opposite of the country that helped them. The solution is to halt immigration and deport every illegal immigrant immediately. But only Trump is strong enough. Other western leaders are soft as - a word that rhymes with white.

Her appearance? I think she means how she appeared to the public sleeping at work while representing her constituents in Parliament as an MP paid for by the taxpayers. If she had any decency she would quit her position as an MP, not X. But that would cost her more than a virtue signalling post. I would also recommend she lose some weight, not for aesthetic reasons but chronic obesity is not good for the health.

I disagree. Other countries like Thailand have a huge (bigger) wealth gap but there is less discontent because there is a feeling of belonging. There is a national identity. A national pride. There is a sense of belonging. Same as most homogeneous societies. In Britain the indigenous people rightly feel that someone off a boat is prioritised above them. The feeling that the government hates the country and the people. They are deliberately trying to destroy it. This cannot continue. It is a recipe for disaster.

It's a stupid award. Look at past winners. The EU won it once 😄 Musk is a great man. A pioneer of technology and free speech. If he wins he should refuse to collect it. It is not worthy of his name.

Mugger would sum up the UK right now. A crime ridden cesspit. More likely to get jail for posting about a crime than actually doing the crime. I'd go with MEGA. Make England Great Again. If the heart is healthy the limbs will follow.

In my very recent experience the trouble with young people in Britain is they have been infected/brainwashed by the Woke mind virus. On one hand they are pro immigration and on the other they complain they pay too much tax, can't afford a house or get an nhs appointment. The virus prevents them seeing the link between the two. It was confusing to me but then an hour watching the bbc, itv or channel 4 makes things clearer. The state propaganda has had a terrible effect on the country. At least sky (sly) news is going bankrupt. One down...

Democracy isn't failing. The trouble is we elect parties based on promises and then they do the opposite. Like the Tories on immigration or Labour on just about everything. That's why reform are leading the polls and will win the next election. Let's hope they "do a Trump" and do exactly what they promised. Mass deportations number 1.

Yeah good point. There are some benefits to Diversity. For example, I never used to be offered marching powder at the local barbers. Diversity certainly solved that problem.

Don't worry. He/She was sneering at hod carriers on another thread. Quite the snob it seems.
