That is because the media is owned by the same billionaires backing Farage and Reform.

The European Parliament can veto decisions of the Commission by qualified majority vote and individual member states retain a power of veto in specific areas within the Council of the European Union, although most decisions are by majority vote.

The UK finally banned capital punishment for murder in 1969, after a 5-year moratorium in a 1965 Act
For arson in a royal dockyard in 1971. Treason and Piracy with violence were banned in 1998 by the Crime & Disorder Act.
All capital punishment was banned in the same year, with the Human Rights Act.

Not the average gullible Reform supporter.

Go to Canada instead.
Or stay home and watch on TV!

Only 4 of those related to the "right to family life", much quoted by Reform and Rupert the Racist!

The USA is already regarded as a "flawed democracy".

If killing survivors is a war crime, someone in the US is a war criminal.
It is not the first time the US has committed such a crime. They did the same thing in WW2.
The USS Wahoo sank the Buyo Maru and machine-gunned surviving Japanese crew and the Indian PoWs it was transporting.

Some of us cannot have surgery, due to other, pre-existing conditions.

"Government gives way to pressure from the CBI" would be a more accurate headline.

For ICE, read GESTAPO.

Sounds a lot like a severe case of dysphoric disorder.

It is the iniquitous steal-th tax introduced by the Tories, freezing personal allowances.

Time for the 25th.

In the UK we have universal healthcare, free at the point of use (with some minor charges, like £9.90 for each prescription drug or charges for dentistry).
I seems the US is the only country where someone can go bankrupt for medical need!

Now, how do you explain what a gynecologist is to the people in Alabama?

Tories spent 14 years ripping off this country.
Now they are making no secret of their plans to Carry On Ripping!

I also read Shirer, years ago.
We can see history repeating itself.

Farage is an enemy of the people.

To be fair, Americans can't spell anyway - they normally forget the U in words like "colour" and "honour"...

Chump has done the most damage to the White House since Aug 24 1814, when the British burnt it down!

You mean join the civilised world and have universal healthcare?
October 20, 2025 at 8:23 AM
In your shoes, I would also be angry!
If you had universal healthcare, you would be healthier and you wouldn't have to fund dividends or CEO bonuses!
I had a heart attack 2 years ago. Ambulance free
2 stents free
2 nights stay, with meals, free
8 drugs every day free

US - $500k+ $105/mth drugs.
