Francophone German speaker, actually native Brit but citizen of everywhere - it's nice to be anywhere at my age. At ease in Argentina, France, Spain, Germany and even in good old Blighty. Questing after unknown unknowns.
McSweeney is the main problem.

McSweeney is his Wormtongue.

The idea that a bunch of Dulwich alumni all got together to thwart the Rise of Reform......

This 'politically motivated' nonsense drives me mad.

Everything Farage does is politically motivated but if anyone criticizes him it is 'politically motivated' and therefore false.

But Starmer doesn't want to upset those who bought into the Brexit lie.

'We must respect them,' he says. But we can still respect them whilst telling them we think they were wrong.

He does annoy me when he talks what he knows is nonsense.

It is genius writing - I wouldn't dare be that adventurous.

Mine or Ed's.

He is terrified of the RW media, of course.

This is the McSweeney line.

Creeping fascism.

Yes, they take a Telegraph or a Mail headline and quote it as if it's the truth, or they use it an an angle, and how much time do they spend scrutinizing wannabe PM Nigel?

I wouldn't say 'harlot'.

Just 'scoundrel'.
December 1, 2025 at 2:51 PM
That is a choice.

Who knows?

Problem is, Starmer is like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

And voting for this.

We have to start somewhere.

The MSM are symathetic to Farage and therefore give him an easy ride.
November 28, 2025 at 1:09 PM
Jokes are fine, but he must be investigated and - ultimately - his supporters shamed. I am sick of the Glasman / McSweeney approach to bigotry (don't upset the bigots - they are decent people).
November 27, 2025 at 7:07 AM
Or traitor.
November 27, 2025 at 7:01 AM
That is the only way forward.
November 26, 2025 at 2:55 PM
That is one reason he has to go.

Just one.

Your NATO policy us all that puts me off joining.

Blackheath, Hampstead, Chiswick - there are plenty all over London and indeed the home counties.

Not to mention Kensington, Mayfair.
