Starmer wants his war. Blair had his. Why should Starmer miss out. Not fair.

This is what happens when you import middle eastern conflicts onto British streets. But just keep repeating the mantra, Diversity is our greatest strength.

At least it's official now. There in black and white (pardon the pun). Should stop the gaslighters.

The likes of Dianne Abbott have plenty of money to send their children to private schools even with the VAT. Didn't do much good though. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7842415/Diane-Abbotts-privately-educated-son-28-charged-11-new-offences.html

Yes, that's why hate speech laws are so dangerous. Because what constitutes "hate"? Who decides that? Currently the lefties are happy because if I refuse to call a man in a dress a woman, or even worse if I poke fun of that man with a humourous tweet on X, they can call it a hate incident. Send the police to my house to correct my wrongthink. Possibly arrest and jail me. But maybe the people who decide what is hateful change? Maybe it becomes hateful to label someone who supports Trump a Fascist/Nazi. Then all the lefties are the victim of the same laws they created. It's very dangerous and not a road the US should be following the UK down.

Yes they should open up specific tourist areas that are excluded from these silly religious puritanical practices. For example, beach areas in Phuket/Pattaya/Rayong/Hua Hin, Sukhumvit 2-24 in Bangkok, the moat area in Chaing Mai etc. It makes no sense to invite people to your country, then ban them from having a beer or a glass of wine with their meal because of a religious day of a religion that they do not adhere to and a "prestigious day" that they have not even heard of. The same applies to elections, and the stupid 2pm - 5pm ban. Even if you don't drink, it affects you because many places choose to close that day, or if they do open they are pretty much empty and devoid of atmosphere.

Nobody believes a word she says. Typical rich kid who wants to play the victim by claiming she had a rough upbringing when the opposite is true. The fact she continues down the same path suggests some form of mental illness. At the very least, a pathological liar and a narcissist.

Careful, you're starting to sound a bit right wing there. I actually agree with you in theory. People who are able to work should work. However, genuine claimants will no doubt get caught up in this just as pensioners who genuinely needed the fuel allowance had it removed. I just don't trust Labour to get it right. I believe they will target specific groups and ignore others. My main concern is that the money saved on this will not be spent on the UK, but given away to foreign countries under the pretense of "climate aid" or "saving Ukraine". They need to get their priorities right, secure our own borders before securing another countries. Look at the amount spent on housing foreign nationals in the UK before cutting off the welfare of UK citizens to pay for them. In many countries like NZ the indigenous people are given special rights. In the UK, the indiginous people are bottom of the food chain and many like me are getting sick of it.

Exactly. If you get a lefty area they'll end up classifying the national flag as a symbol of hate and Hamas propaganda as support of freedom fighters. That's where we've ended up in the UK. Best Americans stay well clear...

Yes, it was obvious to all but the most rampant Liberal Trump hater that Musk was indeed telling the truth. Good to hear it straight from the horses mouth. The Biden administration would hog-tie their own mothers to a satellite in geostationary orbit if they thought it would help them win the election. Shameful.

Awww - I didn't mean to offend you. If you prefer Jill Biden I totally understand. Lots of people are into glamorous grannies these days.

Exactly. Let's hope Apple wins this case. The tyranny of this Labour government must be challenged at every turn.

The BBC lost trust years ago. That heart stopped beating a long time ago, Samir.

No surprise to see Starmer front and centre, sucking up to the EU leaders. Good to see Trump have left these muppets to wallow in their own mess. Of course they will fail. The notion of European unity is a myth. A fantasy of European federalist technocrats. Meloni has shown that. https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/italian-prime-minister-meloni-rejects-troop-deployment-to-ukraine-calls-it-difficult-and-ineffective

Entirely predictable. Labour are the type of party that would jump in a swimming pool and then be shocked they were wet. A stunning lack of insight.

Of course, someone has to pay for all the overseas ego/profile boosting projects/wars that Labour are throwing the British taxpayers money at. And who better than the poor, the elderly and the sick?

I think you are over-estimating the maturity of the Democrats, Melania. She is brilliant. Stunning. "If Carlsberg did First Ladies". From Joe and Jill Biden (and Kamala Harris) to Donald and Melania Trump (and JD Vance). What an upgrade!!! Not to mention the upgrade from Jean Pierre to Karoline Leavitt. Great times for the US!

The Dems must be so proud, ruining women's sporting dreams and allowing biological men to beat up women in a boxing ring. 😄

Yes, because I'm sure the only thing they ever needed to spend money on was a mortgage repayment.

Ironic from someone who was claiming Biden was sharp as a tack while he rolled around on stage and referred to Zelensky as President Putin. 😄

A silly comment. In the unlikely event there is no excess on the policy, it probably wouldn't be worth losing your no claims bonus for. Not to mention the inconvenience. Let's hope they weren't on their way to an urgent appointment.

It was a great speech. So good. Just so good. Probably the best speech ever.

Al Green ejected for yelling during the speech. 😄 https://www.wsj.com/video/rep-al-green-removed-from-chamber-after-yelling-at-trump-during-address/4B52394F-218C-48A3-9F0A-780488A1A8DA?mod=policy_videos_pos4 These Democrats have zero class.

He did great. The Dems were as salty as ever. 😄 https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cdxqvxwnyr5t

Not Markle either. Apparently she thinks her name is Meghan Sussex now.😄 https://www.today.com/parents/meghan-markle-last-name-sussex-rcna194543 I don't think she's quite got the hang of these "title" things.
