UK Federation

To #TakeBackControlProperlyThisTime, level up, to enable PR and play well with EU, UK needs regional devolution - becoming a 12-member UK federation. Remember, give me a follow if you like what I'm saying - there's more where that come from!
Better than letting Russia continue the occupation, bombing the rest of Ukraine, no kids returned, no peace, surely?

If there were no other alternatives, it guaranteed peace and did not stop non-military attempts to win Cornwall back or find those kids, then sure. Wouldn't you?

Well, things happen you know. The future and all that. But that isn't part of the strategy anyway so no need to auto-distract.

The plan is solid. What alternatives are there?
November 23, 2025 at 9:34 PM
Ultimately, the people should decide and that needs peace. Ukraine can pursue the matter peacefully, they can have their claim. Maybe Russia will reform, they all get a GFA and the issue is not so critical.

But in any case, this is the plan that will work. What are the alternatives?

Before writing off Trump's America, Europe should come up with a strategy.
November 23, 2025 at 8:08 PM
1. Ukraine should stop forcing Russia out of the occupied territories.
2. NATO should offer Article 5 level security guarantees but otherwise stay off Ukrainian territory.
3. Europe should help defend Ukrainian civilian population and infrastructure from Russian drones and missiles.

NATO exists forever. Trump won't. The key is to come up with a plan that will work.

What are the alternatives?

If Russia really is on the edge, that just makes them even more dangerous. Europe would struggle because it has a bad command and support structure.

NATO is for ever. Trump isn't.

The key thing is to come up with a plan and strategy that will work.
November 23, 2025 at 5:31 PM
Russia is more powerful than European NATO because they have one person in charge.

That unity is why USA is necessary for Article 5 to work.

No need to break with USA. On Ukraine, what we need is a good plan that will work.

...which of course doesn't even make sense in a world where there's a "reduction from 43 forces to as few as 12"; a force could include multiple LA's ...

In typical Starmerite fashion, they are trying to cover their arses.

"I will introduce new reforms so police are accountable to their local mayoralties or local councils."

i.e. "Police/Crime Commissioners did not have enough power so let's reduce their power even further..."

Not really clear that trying to reverse it will stop Reform, I'm afraid.

Bit weird.

If the problem is kids getting around age verification with VPNs then it's obviously a neat solution.
August 12, 2025 at 7:31 PM
Just have age verification for VPNs.

Option 3: More apartheid and ethnic cleansing (i.e the current situation, what there has been for years - and still is).

Option 4: Genocide of the Palestinians or forced expulsion into third countries with or without compensation).

Option 2: Palestinians become Israeli Arabs (and the Jews will likely lose democratic control of the Israeli government).

There needs to be a neutral force to secure the 2 state borders and deliver guarantees to both sides.

Otherwise Israel will do it and we see the results.

Don't understand why folk aren't talking about this - this is how we stop the conflict - and the Israeli alternatives are obviously much worse.
