If you give the other side everything they want, apparently they stop trying to take it by force. Huh.

Press: "What kind of concessions are the Russians going to have to make?"

STARMER’S REFUSAL TO GET BREXIT UNDONE IS UNFATHOMABLE - OR IS IT?
Britain is being destroyed by Brexit. People are poorer because of it and Britain has been diminished by it. People don’t want, but Starmer does. Why?
NOT GETTING BREXIT UNDONE IS DOING PUTIN’S WORK.

If instead of Ukraine, it was the UK, and some fucking foreign tyrant had stolen Scotland, why would that tyrant be any part of a peace deal? Oppressors without humiliation will continue to oppress, and their oppression would not stop at the Scottish border.

I feel sick reading Labour’s asylum policy. They’re setting fire to their base and the scum they’re pandering to despise them regardless.
It’s simple. Process and let asylum seekers work and pay tax.
It’s indefensible despicable shit.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

It is painfully and astonishingly obvious that to correct course we need a few simple things.
A wealth tax followed by gradual tax rises for the wealthiest.
Nationalisation of industries that should never have been privatised.
