When I was at uni in the UK many years ago all "conservatives" spoke exactly like these young GOP Nazis when sure no one non-white was around. Some went on to have successful careers in politics and business, just becoming a bit more diplomatic for public consumption in the politically correct years

The real terrorists that threaten the peace, security and stability of the UK and the world are all on the far right, including Reform and frankly Tories given all the racist bile and ECHR withdrawal shit. But let's use terror laws to arrest grannies with signs who oppose genocide

WW2 key lesson: Expansionist warmongering genocidal states must be stopped and dismantled and their leaders tried for their atrocities. When US was antifa not profa

Sometimes Starmerite apologists pop out. Easily swatted with even the most basic reasoning. More persistent are cultists of the old Lexiteer Corbyn who think he'll come back and save the day when he's 80. Though to be fair Corbyn was right about Palestine

Is any of this stopping Israel's genocide? WW2 wasn't about dealing with the resistance. Weren't lessons learnt then about the need to terminate the expansionist genocidal regime that was the root cause and try its leaders for their atrocities? But back then the US was antifa instead of antiantifa

So make Brexit work didn't work then?

A ceasefire plan when only one side had real weapons to fire and was using them to commit genocide, which it clearly has no intention of ceasing

An isolated high tax economy is sadly a road to complete disaster for the UK. Reversal of Brexit by any means possible (joining SM and CU at very least) should have been Labour's top priority. Things will only worsen further from here with real risk of descent to full-blown fascism

Brexit is an utter disaster and unsurvivable by the UK, as anyone who isn't racist and has a brain knows. So what did Labour do? Persist with Brexit, bash the poor, ape and embolden Reform, and aid genocide. Brilliant!

It's vaguely comforting that Trump probably realises as he hopefully enters his last few months that, if the Christians are right, he'll be going to hell for eternity

If MAGA types are Christians and God depends on them for saving, it's a great advert for atheism

When (not if) Trump becomes almost as reviled by history as Hitler, giving him the Nobel Peace Prize will stain that award for all time and likely the entire Nobel award system itself

Impose ridiculous, ever-changing tariffs (against all sound economic advice); screw up all your markets; people you trade with say fuck you; and they're the ones being hostile? And your answer then is to threaten to fuck things up some more for yourself and them? Why hasn't Trump been removed yet?

And will Israel be forced violently to disarm its genocidal military too or is that different?

Personally I don't understand anyone who's Scottish not voting for the self-determination and independence of their country from a Brexity, bigoted and potentially full-fascist so-called UK (basically England)

So the thousands of Palestinians (many kid) abducted and tortured by Israelis aren't hostages? They don't count? But then what's new? It's as if one side are barely considered human and fit only to be dispossessed and genocided. Wonder when this sort of thing happened before
