In Faragist-occupied County Durham
Isn't designating Foreign Terrorist Organizations supposed to be in the State Department's remit?

Or they just hate Europe for being unenthusiastic about the War on Islam which they crave.

I suspect Phillips would be surprised to find a lot would come to the conclusion that Western civilization isn't worth defending: their response to her claim that we are in an existential war would be something like "better dhimmi than génocidaire".

And if they view Israel as a genocidal villain for killing mere tens (or hundreds) of THOUSANDS of Palestinians, how could they expected to respond to someone suggesting they need to kill hundreds of MILLIONS of Muslims to save Western civilization?

And the mad mullah with a hook for a hand would of course be Islamist rather than "left wing".

I'm guessing by "incompatible" he means Muslims.

Younger MAGA Republicans like him are creatures of the War on Terror, and see Islam in much the same light as the German Nazis viewed Bolshevism.

(Pete Hegseth is an even stronger example with his "Deus Vult" tattoo!)

In her eyes Palestinians are more like Nazi zombies than human beings.

Except that it's not 2010 any more: the goal is not to "create jobs" but to fix our dilapidated public services, re-arm to face the Russian threat, and invest in green energy.

It is Ukraine that is currently defending the West (from Russia), not Israel (from Islam)!

I suspect also a case of the geographically-immobile being jealous of the geographically-mobile.

The Government needs to free up real resources (such as labour and managment expertise) to fix our public services and invest in green infrastructure, and taxing the paper wealth of the rich will not do that.

And this attitude also goes a good way to explaining the politics of Kemi Badenoch.

In Northern Ireland they were called "Diplock courts".

What do you think a Labour government should be doing instead, if the goal is to minimize the number of people who will vote for Reform or similar parties?
November 26, 2025 at 2:44 PM
They've been duped by claims that such policies beat back the far-right vote in Denmark, when in fact it just split that vote between multiple far-right parties.
November 26, 2025 at 2:41 PM
My suspicion is that a lot of the hatred of immigrants in left-behind places is a case of the geographically-immobile envying the geographically-mobile.
November 26, 2025 at 2:37 PM
Just checked: where I have the misfortune of living actually had the highest Reform vote of all.

Why so much hatred of refugees in places like this?

After all, it's not as if refugees shut the pits...

You may be interested in this video about the village with the highest Reform vote of all (where I have the misfortune of living) in case it's any use to you.

"These post-industrial areas are now the breeding grounds for the Far Right in the US and Europe. Communities which once voted for economic self-interest are now rallying round what is said to be cultural issues."

"But it isn’t culture really. It’s the past."

I think the real profiteers in US health care are the pharma companies and the doctors more than the insurance companies.

Given that President TRUMAN was planning universal healthcare for the US (only to be shot down by Dixiecrats) wouldn't it be more accurate to describe the US as the _racist_ outlier?
