The hard left will never win power in this country for the simple reason that they can’t be trusted on national security. Objectively, they always end up on the same side as scumbags like Putin.

Jenrick going all a bit Ron Manager here. “Football in the 80s… rough and tumble… Stanley knives and stern bobbies… evenin’ all… jumpers for goalposts.” Superficial twat!

I’ve finally realised what irritates me so much about this ‘No Kings’ thing. It’s the assumed superiority of the American system of government in circumstances that reveal the assumption to be complete bollocks. We mistakenly believe American exceptionalism to be a thing of the right. It isn’t.

I don’t think that’s true. The first witness statement, written under the Tories, clearly designates China a threat to UK security (see below). So do the statements written under Labour.

Two dismal home performances, six points. Not sure what the point of qualifying for the World Cup would be. Big party for the Tartan Army, I suppose.

This guy’s a piece of work. Right-winger, always complaining about the abuse he gets here. I asked, perfectly politely, what he meant in advocating “aggressive integration policies”. Didn’t reply, went missing from 2 days, so I asked again when he came back and his response was a block. Not serious.

Got away with one there. Scotland were absolute pish for most of that game. Still, they all count. Here we go, here we go! 🏴🙌

It’s hard to believe, but immediately after this bonkers rant from Badenoch, the Tories actually debated a resolution demanding stronger legal protection for freedom of speech. As we know, they only mean free speech for themselves.

Shocking levels of debauchery and decadence in Weimar Britain!

The Spectator now lurching towards fascism by analogy, including an interview with Andrew Tate (they’ll regret that). Of course, the Weimar comparison is daft. There’s no interesting culture for a start.

Here’s a previous outing by the same guy, gloating about the attempted murder of Nancy Pelosi’s husband.

So now the Republicans are in favour of strict content moderation on social media, business boycotts and cancel culture in response to violent political hate speech, but only if it’s directed at them. The “fuck your feelings” people are suddenly upset by the “hurty words”.

This is a good illustration of how far right views are being mainstreamed in the UK. Johnson says Charlie Kirk didn’t have extremist views. This is the same Charlie Kirk who said black people were better off under slavery and pushed the far right ‘Great Replacement’ conspiracy theory.

No, Carswell and others like him haven’t been ‘radicalised’. They’ve always thought like this. The only thing that has changed is that they now realise they can get away with saying it out loud.

Pasaran!
From now on, I’m going to post this every time I see Starmer giving a pass to the far right. Might be every day at the current rate.

This is the source used by Grok (or “MechaHitler” as it describes itself) for the false claim on grooming gangs. Try thinking for yourself and verifying information. Don’t just absorb anything thing that confirms your prejudice and regurgitate it on social media.
