It seems that Iran has moved on to the "FO" part of the equation...

Absolutely. 

Just like the Palestinians, they launch an attack and then cry foul when they get a slap around the chops.

I would think most true British are happy to see Henry gone, he is an embarrassment, along with his wife, an embarrassment.....🥴

 

Stay safe Henry............😉

Let's hope the US allows him to stay. The Democrats, over 200 years after the war of independence still appear quite happy to treat a British Prince as royalty and allow him to walk all over their immigration laws. Probably because he has a Democrat wife who ticks all the DEI boxes.

I suspect the Republicans might not be so lilly livered.

The hatred for a man who simply decided that the organisation he was born into and was expected to uphold was so internecine, so corrupt and so out of date that he wanted nothing to do with it is astonishing, and shows how remarkably adept the palace is at keeping the sheep on side while they bleed them dry. 

Nobody hates him for leaving. His choice. No problem.

It's the lies, the whingeing, the hypocrisy and the backstabbing of his own flesh and blood that most of us dislike.

Good riddance to the toerag. The fact that Meghan left with him is like killing 2 birds with 1 stone. I only hope that the US do not revoke his visa for lieing about his extensive class A drug use on the application.

After a certain change in the not too distant past, I would say that the mods on AN/TV have been handling things very well.

Totally agree. I'm not sure what happened but it's been far better the last couple of months.

Whatever happened, it was a huge improvement so big thanks to whoever made that change. 

I wish the owners the best of luck with the merger.

No, it isn't. It is for gathering information and have discussions, doesn't give you the right to demonize people / groups.

Unless it's Trump or his supporters, obviously. 

In fact, anyone you disagree with. 😃

Excellent news. 

I always love it when someone pinches something I was about to throw out, saves me going to the tip.

Let's hope this leads to his titles being stripped. Long overdue. 

Oirish Joe telling porkies again.

Just like his son died in Iraq, claims he used to be a truck driver, being arrested in the civil rights movement etc. He never lets the truth get in the way of a good yarn.

You'd think he'd have learnt that fact checkers would be all over his false stories by now. Then again, he probably forgot.

Are you questioning accuracy of polls now?

Only when the sample size is 0.0006% of the voting population.

It's about time the majority had a win.

The more we empower minorities the more they want untill the minority dictate to the majority 

Exactly.

If they'd have won this then they'd just want more. A prayer room in every school, desks facing mecca, readings of the Koran during assembly, halal only school dinners, bans on pork in the canteen, lessons in Arabic etc. 

It would never be enough.

A good decision.

Schools are for learning, she can go to the mosque to pray.

1,020 voters? 😃

Off thing to say given the stagnated economy, prices still above the target 2% and the current Government having enacted the highest tax take since WW2.

 

https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/article-12781839/amp/Tax-burden-highest-Second-World-War-44-billion-stealth-tax.html

That article is a prediction. Lots of "will be", "on course to be", "experts have predicted" etc.

Better we stick with the facts on what has happened, as detailed in the OP. The UK doing very well compared to some of the EU's largest economies, like Germany and France.

https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/04/16/germanys-economy-still-seen-to-be-suffering-the-most-in-europe

France and Germany's economies are the worst-performing in Europe, while the UK is seen as doing moderately well. On the up side, Spain and Italy are seeing distinctly more positive signs.

Seems like Project Fear was a load of rubbish. If only someone had said so at the time... Oh, wait a minute...😃

Back on topic, seems like the police did a very good job dealing with this, although if he was really trying to drag her away then perhaps an arrest and charges of attempted kidnap might have reminded him of some fundamental principles.

Good to see the UK continuing to do well post Brexit.

Unfortunately a Labour government looks just around the corner so their "tax and spend" policies will likely undo a lot of the good work.

Giving access to hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees who refuse to assimilate?

They have no desire to assimilate.

They have found a new, soft battleground where instead of facing real justice for their acts of hatred they are enabled by a weak police force and hand wringing liberals.

They can hack people up in public and the authorities refuse to even disclose their religion or their chant during the attack. If anyone speaks up they are labelled far right and if in Scotland, potentially jailed for 7 years. 

No wonder they see this as the golden land.

I'm sure he is deeply, deeply concerned. After all, it was written by Douglas MacKinnon.

 

"Douglas MacKinnon, a former aide to President Ronald Reagan, said on Tuesday that Southern states should break with the U.S. and form their own nation based on values like opposition to homosexuality, and that his former boss would be the perfect namesake.

“For whatever reason the leaders that we’re picking are deciding not to stand firmly for traditional values,” MacKinnon told radio host Janet Mefferd. MacKinnon is currently promoting a book, “The Secessionist States of America: The Blueprint for Creating a Traditional Values Country … Now.”

Oh wow placeholder is back.

Chomps obviously made enough from the 60+ womens charity cycling event to buy a new burner.

Marvellous.
