Not if it allows the current shower to remain in power. That issue will be sorted by the next election. I'd imagine one or the other will agree to remove candidates in certain areas where the split could lead to a Labour seat, and we will end up with a Reform/Conservative coalition. The only question is how much damage Labour can do to the country they despise before then.

Turns out he was reported to "Prevent" 3 times before he did the murder. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/world/europe/trial-southport-stabbings-uk-axel-rudakubana.html I guess the police were too busy with other things like policing social media for hurty tweets.

Nice puff piece in there with the obligatory "first day at school" picture. 😄

You have to scroll down about 3 pages to see it, and even then there is no picture (for obvious reasons) and they refer to him as an "18 year old" before mentioning the riots. The only surprise is they omitted the phrase "far right thugs" from the headline. Less important than weight loss drugs apparently.

Funny how the BBC are so quick to mention that this monster of a child killer was "from Lancashire". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y7g01682go Yet on the same page, all round nice guy and England international Cole Palmer was somehow "Made in the Caribbean" because he has a grandfather from St.Kitts who came over in the 1960's. 😄 https://www.bbc.com/sport/extra/en7wd155d9/cole-palmer-made-in-the-caribbean Gotta love the BBC and their narratives. I wonder when they will be running their "Made in Rwanda" story on Rudakubana? Oh that's right - they won't. Their double standards are breathtaking.

I understand the terminology. It is misleading. "Jailed for life" does not mean you will actually be jailed for life.

Probably be a hero to all the gangs of other terrorists in there.

So not jailed for life then.

Not necessarily. This is the UK "justice" system we are talking about.

So I guess it must be Empathy and Compassion that you do not understand. That makes sense actually.

I assume you know the difference between "We" and "I"? We, as in defenders of women's rights to safe spaces. We, as in opponents of racism/sexism in the form of DEI/CRT. We, as in people with a conscience who oppose the Woke mind virus.

He pled guilty. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y7g01682go Buried under the media storm re. the Trump inauguration, naturally.

Totally irrelevant. A silly deflection. I don't personally suffer from blokes in skirts being allowed into women's prisons. Does that mean I cannot oppose it?

Very rare. Had one teenage girl cashier in a Korat gas station 711 a few months ago count out the correct change, then look up at me with a guilty smirk and remove a 100 Baht note back into the till before handing it to me. It's was so obvious it was almost amusing. I didn't even count the change, just left my hand there and told her to give me the other 100. Which she promptly did (sheepishly). Generally they are very honest. Maybe less so in the bar areas.

Me too. Let's hope more leftist parties are removed in Europe and we can have MEGA (Make Europe Great Again) as well as MAGA.

The left went way too far. Trump will put them back in their box.

He's just pardoned the Jan 6 protestors. https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/trump-pardons-jan-6-rioters/2025/01/20/f2ecf74a-eb98-4157-bf57-e48c6370b5c6_video.html

Great news. The WHO has proven itself to be a corrupt, inept organization.

The left massively over-reached with their loony "Progressive" policies like discriminating against men and white people under the guise of DEI. Allowing Men to beat up Women in a boxing ring under the name of trans rights. The list goes on. This is simply a natural correction of such racist and sexist policies favoured by Liberals. Long may it continue (and it will).

Covering their own backs, especially Starmer's.

If they keep pushing products that people do not want the industry will have big problems. I'll never buy BEV. I'm waiting for Toyota's new Hilux based on the Tacoma. Hopefully with a 3 litre twin turbo Diesel.

Indeed you were Donald. Please go even harder this time around.

Let's hope he rejects it. Labour need to be humiliated on the global stage.

Good to see the rats turning on each other.
