Omg. Patronising me now. Did someone hurt you once?

You wanted masculine energy on the streets. Not feminine.

Tell me, have you always been this afraid of women?

Huh?
According to you I don't get to share my energy in the streets? Not fair.
Sick of this crushing of public female energy

Apart from the fact that Badenoch wouldn't pass the required Immigration English Language test, there's also the fact that the Conservatives negotiated for Britain between 2016 and 2020.

And look at what we got.

I notice the BBC hasn't halted its regular programming for the Tory Party Conference as they did for Reform's recent gathering of racist knuckedragging flagshaggers.

Not far enough right for the BBC Board, obviously.

With Israel Katz announcing the intention of building a "security city" on the ruins of Rafah, to contain ALL Palestinians, we are seeing them saying the quiet part out loud.
They are building concentration camps.

There were a lot of folks here insisting yesterday that weather service cuts had no impact on Texas flood deaths. There’s zero way you can draw conclusions like hours later. Important follow up here. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

Why are there no videos of ICE deporting MS-13? We only heard about that gang everyday during the campaigns yet all we see are masked man in full war body armor throwing 13 year olds around inside court and grabbing babies from mothers on the street?

we're gone from "90 deals in 90 days" to whatever the hell this passive aggressive nonsense is

To show people how spoiled Countries have become with respect to the United States of America, and I have great respect for Japan, they won’t take our RICE, and yet they have a massive rice shortage. In other words, we’ll just be sending them a letter, and we love having them as a Trading Partner for many years to come.

Donald Trump looks like an idiot. He got a shitty parade disaster.
He made up a ceasefire.
He got caught making shit up about destroying all Iran's nuclear capabilities.
His murder bill is coming close to 30 trillion to the debt.
No Nobel Peace Prize buddy.

World leaders see a big loser.

Bravo, Macron.

Like in 2003 with the Iraq War - France is calling it out.

Macron slams US strikes on Iran as lacking legal basis - Euractiv

Macron condemns US strikes on Iran as illegal and counterproductive, warning forceful regime change has never brought stability.
