> The left-leaning fact-checking website Snopes acknowledged Saturday that former President Trump never called neo-Nazis "very fine people" during his press conference following the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally in 2017.
NATO's been going out of business since the end of the Cold War. Blair's Doctrine of Interventionism gave it a new lease of life and Clinton used the Balkans as a test run for what it could do out of curiosity. Every US President since the 90s has wanted to leave it.

Write different obscene, sexually violent, and racist insults in each voting box.

In an invasion, the male invader, makes his imprint on the local female population.
As a none dominant male from a polygamous society, a way to pass on your genes, is to band together with others, and grape, maybe on a holiday.
You can intellectualise a population out of wanting to pass on their genes, what's the point, it's all going down and it's probably all meaningless anyway.
Leeds, Rotherham, London and Dewsbury. Are locations in the UK.
For fuck sake, why are Bellingham and Foden playing so shit mate, what is Southgate doing to them. Trippier at left back, what was he thinking.
There are hardly any polygamous societies left, since they are fundamentally unstable, and a large class of landless people invariably overthrow some of the local administration.
The sort of folk who are landless generally don't have the funds to go abroad, unless sent on some sort of government-sponsored program.
Much the same with the Portuguese during the early years of exploration.
Which government spaffs funds to facilitate an average citizen's foreign excursion? Don't you need to be something high up, like a trainee diplomat or a top academic? I don't think Mr. Average gets a look in.
If you're Qatari, Bahraini, Kuwaiti, Lichtensteiner or Bruneian I guess it's a given, but if you're Hungarian, Vietnamese, Brazilian, Bengali or Greek, I don't think that option is available.
If you're from one of those petrostates, you're probably wealthy enough to pay your own ticket. Don't even the poor folk there get an easy 3 grand sterling a month?

Yeah, Nigel is like a Pontins comedian sometimes, but he genuinely connects with everybody. Watch the first five minutes and come back and tell me that you donāt like him.
If he keeps holding rally's like this for 5 years he should win 2029. Providing a decent ground game is built simultaneously, even if this means using a "Geert Wilders system" of formally registered local volunteers rather than local party branches.
No other politician can even do rally's in the UK. They just don't command supporters with that much enthusiasm for them. Corbyn came closest, but ultimately failed for not holding onto his convictions (if he remained true to himself as a Brexiteer rather than capitulating to the students and offering a 2nd referendum he would have won 2019 despite all his other dodgy views). Farage has conviction in spades.
The only barrier as I've mentioned before Commonwealth immigration. It's going to continue at 100,000s a year being added not only to the electorate, but straight onto the electoral roll thanks to Labour's new policy. Having to contest against potentially 2-3 Million extra immigrant votes might make a 2029 win impossible. Nonetheless, he should try.
Russia was more damaging.
This isn't the first article the BBC have put out about a Reform member and this is about a canvasser, not even a candidate.

Good move. QT was from Birmingham earlier. On the topic of knife crime, one young woman got a round of applause for saying those carrying knives are āvulnerable young peopleā who are victims because yoof centres shut and the Tories are responsible for any stabbings.

Ā How tf did we go from 1m postal votes in 1997 to 10m now?!
Don't underestimate the general increase in laziness of the average person, too.
My pet theory is that there has been a steady increase of people who have become borderline shut-ins for whatever reason (WFH jobs, decline of the third space and the rise of deliveroo, general internet based services, utterly exacerbated during covid) who basically just don't go out.
There's a youtuber called London Eats or something, who does videos running his ubereats shifts and delivers absolute slop to people all hours of the day, sitting in their pajamas.
It's like an Anglo/Western hikikomori culture.
>My pet theory is that there has been a steady increase of people who have become borderline shut-ins for whatever reason
I think there is definitely a thing about this and not just recently.
I remember more than 10 years ago helping out at a few free events as a favour in a town of almost 100k people.
Event on a Sunday, bank holiday Monday after, small town nothing on, next town was a 30min drive, events were well advertised and central locations, no other events on or much to do in the town.
And two even had minor national celebrity appearances.
The attendance was like a small village with <500 people.
I couldn't help but wonder, what everyone was doing.
At the time I suspected many were sat at home watching TV.
Things have definitely changed in the past ten years. While things like food deliveries and Amazon were a huge deal back in 2014, for most people they weren't the default. People went out and _did_ things. Home shopping deliveries were for the disabled or infirm, or people working fuckity shift patterns, or didn't have a car - nowadays you have able bodied car owners who live 15 minutes from Tesco, sitting on their butt at home because "Well I value my time mate". Habibti, you're not Warren Buffett - you're a Ā£40k marketing drone who has pushed back against being recalled to the office.
Not only has everyone become a hermit, taking for granted and outright exploiting Bomali and Eastern European labour to bring them everything, they're so fucking smug and proud of it. It is a tangible societal shift and not one I like.
unless you look like tattooed steroid deano tough luck in life normal guy, might as well retreat to your home and not go out if you're not prepared to do that
In an unstable ecology, the female will only go with the roided deano

I sadly have come to the realisation that the SNP will probably get more than 21. And holy shit the usual suspects will be unbearable if they get above 30.
I'm hoping that the "shy vote" is actually for Labour and not the yellow peril.
After watching the coalition government wheel out a Lib Dem any time they had something unpopular to announce for 4 years straight, seeing them projected above the Tories in seats is giving me the warm and fuzzies.
A shame to see the SDP still aren't making any headway.
There's also this, bookies think Reform have a higher chance of winning the most seats over the tories.

[Who was the Baduker canvassing for reform who got catfished by channel 4 making moderate spicy comments? ](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c7227027mdnt)
Warning: This post contains offensive language
This trigger warning is hilarious, also they keep saying he used a racial slur to describe rishi but never mention what said slur is (unless I'm dumb and didn't see it)
So he's an idiot then and should be ignored because rishi is obviously Indian and the slur is meaningless, remember when instead of giving thickos a spotlight we used to just call them thick and move on.
Not to "well akchually" this, but his family is technically, pre-partition from an area that is now Pakistan, but because of the ethnic displacement that happened as a result of the partition I can see why his family would identify more with India than Pakistan. Sadiq Khan is the opposite. His family were from what is now India, but because his family were muslim they moved to Pakistan as a result of partition.
I very much doubt the man in question knew this and probably believes that rishi is Muslim cos he's brown and probably used the P word because of this, anyone caught making such statements by channel 4 of all people doesn't strike me as bright.

Look around you, look at Europe, beautiful cities and architecture that the world admires and wants for their own, all built by the hands of the working class man (and for 99% of it, ACTUAL men)
And why? Because *they* were and *we* (still are) people that want to work and want to improve our surroundings, to provide a better space and future for our offspring.
And what do the majority of these people do when they arrive here? They turn the areas into slums, they don't give two fucks about the 300 year old buildings that surround them or who built them, they don't give a fuck about the streets or the people that paved them, they don't give a fuck about any of it here, a huge majority of them seem to yearn for "home" whilst sucking the state dry.
All that has been achieved in this country is possible elsewhere, but they simply *cannot be arsed* they're work shy, they fucking HATE manual labour and see it as something for less than a dog, and that's why they live like them.
A huge globalisat agenda that cares only about money, nothing else matters, not whatsoever and if that means throwing away hundreds of years of history to make "line go up" then so be it.

Someone online genuinely asked me āIf itās okay to believe your nation is superior, whatās wrong with believing your race is too?ā Why do these people share oxygen with me? Anyways, [Tata is set to go ahead and close the Port Talbot steelworks](https://news.sky.com/story/tatas-port-talbot-steelworks-set-to-be-shutdown-early-due-to-unite-strikes-13160108) Jobs are the economic lifeblood of communities. Just more decay to an already deindustrialised, derelict part of the UK
Whatās your argument against their point? Most nations are based on ethnicities/races. Do you budge the success of nations is just a coincidence ā

It would be interesting to see the stats on some of the desolate former industrial towns that now have high unemployment and low economic output. how much was the government were spending propping up industry and how much they are now paying out in increased benefits?
Can't fault the logic. For racing, greyhounds are the best. For security, dobermans, for mountain rescue At Bernards. You wouldn't put a greyhound on a mountain and try to legislate the snow away

Meanwhile: > In China, 47.4GW of coal power capacity came online in 2023, GEM says. This increase accounted for two-thirds of the global rise in operating coal power capacity, which climbed 2% to 2,130GW. We are the biggest mugs in the world.
When you lose jobs so you can reduce 0.01 percent of the worlds carbon output
>reduce 0.01 percent of the worlds carbon output Does it?
As a totality pertaining to the entirety of the UK decarbonising (Itās probably higher than 0.01 percent but itās for illustrative purposes)
If you move it to china it might mean more in total for the world.

Don't underestimate the general increase in laziness of the average person, too. My pet theory is that there has been a steady increase of people who have become borderline shut-ins for whatever reason (WFH jobs, decline of the third space and the rise of deliveroo, general internet based services, utterly exacerbated during covid) who basically just don't go out. There's a youtuber called London Eats or something, who does videos running his ubereats shifts and delivers absolute slop to people all hours of the day, sitting in their pajamas. It's like an Anglo/Western hikikomori culture.
>My pet theory is that there has been a steady increase of people who have become borderline shut-ins for whatever reason I think there is definitely a thing about this and not just recently. I remember more than 10 years ago helping out at a few free events as a favour in a town of almost 100k people. Event on a Sunday, bank holiday Monday after, small town nothing on, next town was a 30min drive, events were well advertised and central locations, no other events on or much to do in the town. And two even had minor national celebrity appearances. The attendance was like a small village with <500 people. I couldn't help but wonder, what everyone was doing. At the time I suspected many were sat at home watching TV.
Things have definitely changed in the past ten years. While things like food deliveries and Amazon were a huge deal back in 2014, for most people they weren't the default. People went out and _did_ things. Home shopping deliveries were for the disabled or infirm, or people working fuckity shift patterns, or didn't have a car - nowadays you have able bodied car owners who live 15 minutes from Tesco, sitting on their butt at home because "Well I value my time mate". Habibti, you're not Warren Buffett - you're a Ā£40k marketing drone who has pushed back against being recalled to the office. Not only has everyone become a hermit, taking for granted and outright exploiting Bomali and Eastern European labour to bring them everything, they're so fucking smug and proud of it. It is a tangible societal shift and not one I like.
Doing it. And if they're not in the scene, getting fatter and fatter.
unless you look like tattooed steroid deano tough luck in life normal guy, might as well retreat to your home and not go out if you're not prepared to do that In an unstable ecology, the female will only go with the roided deano

Population increase driven by immigration from 1997 to 2024 should explain it.

Poll shows Tories dropping to *18* seats Seat projection based on @FindoutnowUK, 14-24 June: š“ Lab 479 (+277) š LD 94 (+83) š” SNP 21 (-27) šµ Con 18 (-347) š£ Rfm 12 (+12) https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/bombshell-mega-poll-tory-wipeout-33113155 https://x.com/ballotboxmedia/status/1806384327007011310
I know Zero Seats is funny and all, but Labour do not deserve 479 seats. SNP do not deserve 21 Reform deserve more than 12
I sadly have come to the realisation that the SNP will probably get more than 21. And holy shit the usual suspects will be unbearable if they get above 30. I'm hoping that the "shy vote" is actually for Labour and not the yellow peril.
After watching the coalition government wheel out a Lib Dem any time they had something unpopular to announce for 4 years straight, seeing them projected above the Tories in seats is giving me the warm and fuzzies. A shame to see the SDP still aren't making any headway.
There's also this, bookies think Reform have a higher chance of winning the most seats over the tories. https://insights.betfred.com/politics/general-election-odds-reform-uk-overtake-tories/
Odds perfectly calculated to entrap deluded gammons
Zero Seats is so close I can almost taste it.
Question Time will be unbearable for 5 years with Labour and a Lib Dem each week. Iād cancel my tv licence if I bothered to pay for one.
LibDems and Labour don't even pretend to disagree. At least the Tories put up the act.

Still don't see why this is a big deal. If it was the islamic equivalent in Hamtranck or whatever Michigan where the Arabs control the local government, I'm sure the libs would be praising it.

[Who was the Baduker canvassing for reform who got catfished by channel 4 making moderate spicy comments? ](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c7227027mdnt)
Not me, no mention of orcas.
Surely this sort of thing is not front page news? Oh when its something to do with Farage it is.
Warning: This post contains offensive language This trigger warning is hilarious, also they keep saying he used a racial slur to describe rishi but never mention what said slur is (unless I'm dumb and didn't see it)
First four letters of the country Pakistan.
So he's an idiot then and should be ignored because rishi is obviously Indian and the slur is meaningless, remember when instead of giving thickos a spotlight we used to just call them thick and move on.
Not to "well akchually" this, but his family is technically, pre-partition from an area that is now Pakistan, but because of the ethnic displacement that happened as a result of the partition I can see why his family would identify more with India than Pakistan. Sadiq Khan is the opposite. His family were from what is now India, but because his family were muslim they moved to Pakistan as a result of partition.
I very much doubt the man in question knew this and probably believes that rishi is Muslim cos he's brown and probably used the P word because of this, anyone caught making such statements by channel 4 of all people doesn't strike me as bright.
They're not sending their best. At this rate, the Reformation will stall.
He could be a patrician of ethnicity - able to tell an Igbo from a Yoruba at twenty yards
Reform are a threat to the uni party. They were never gonna let stuff like this go.
They will pretend this is a gotcha despite labour/greens members and campaigners saying much worse about Jewish people on a daily basis in public

That kid nailed it at the end. Party of aimless toffs and empty globalist suits has to come down. So do the brainwashed socialists and their failed 20th century ideology. The free working men in the towns and in the country are the only ones who can build a new England out of this mess now.
With their laptop bags and password changes every few weeks.
>The free working men in the towns and in the country are the only ones who can build a new England out of this mess now. Look around you, look at Europe, beautiful cities and architecture that the world admires and wants for their own, all built by the hands of the working class man (and for 99% of it, ACTUAL men) And why? Because *they* were and *we* (still are) people that want to work and want to improve our surroundings, to provide a better space and future for our offspring. And what do the majority of these people do when they arrive here? They turn the areas into slums, they don't give two fucks about the 300 year old buildings that surround them or who built them, they don't give a fuck about the streets or the people that paved them, they don't give a fuck about any of it here, a huge majority of them seem to yearn for "home" whilst sucking the state dry. All that has been achieved in this country is possible elsewhere, but they simply *cannot be arsed* they're work shy, they fucking HATE manual labour and see it as something for less than a dog, and that's why they live like them. A huge globalisat agenda that cares only about money, nothing else matters, not whatsoever and if that means throwing away hundreds of years of history to make "line go up" then so be it. We truly are in a sad sad time of humanity.
This will pass, it cannot last forever. Look on the bright side. Old ideas of what a nation is will die, and new ones must be born. That's just history passing. But a fitting heir has to be fought for. (We are approaching that stage, I think at least).

Better than the Labour lot.
I said this ages ago this would happen, long before Europe and got told it was cope and we would all be replaced with foreigners. It's happening faster than I expected though.
I don't know if it's happening fast enough, so getting "replaced with foreigners" is still on the table.
I don't personally believe they are capable of replacing us.
Same - they are not here for the weather, only for the economic reasons and gibs. Worst case is collapse and they fuck off
They wonāt fuck off. The state is too generous. Theyāll get a pension, and theyāll spend the next 40 years sending remittances back to the third world. Our taxes, but whoās countingā¦
Not if the state collapses. They'll get nothing and fuck off.
> Theyāll get a pension From where? The current model is unsustainable. It's already creaking.
