News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 25 [1141]

Stupid Russophiles on here still insist that Russia is winning

Generally it's a good idea to look at whatever r*SSians say and assume the opposite is true.

Right now, their official line (and much huffing and puffing) is t9rubbish the Tomahawk missiles that Ukraine have been sent. They're also making veiled threats against the donors. Proof positive that they are very very scared.

And other good news is that Ukraine's counteroffensive is inflicting particularly heavy losses to orcs in a counteroffensive in eastern Donetsk. Mostly incinerating them in drone attacks.

Far less than is extracted from the country every year by private companies who profit from running public infrastructure.

Blame the conservatives for both things; they happened on their watch.

Do you know any other "influencer" like this? No, you don't.

Yes. His name was Horst Wessel.

a connection between pot smoking and the ancient Slavic God.

Very good too. It was interesting to read.

nstead of leading the nations to success, they stumble around in a pot-induced stupor

More likely booze back then.

Off-Topic / What is a woman? [592]

How can anyone get THAT fat???

The diet over there is very high in ultraprocessed foods; plenty of additives that aren't allowed in more developed societies due to health risks and a lot of something called corn starch.

A lot of the stuff in supermarkets there, even well known brands, are on the level of the stuff we only see in food discounters like Iceland and some of the ones that you probably don't have in London but plague the large council estates in the north, companies like Fulton or Heron.

Female obesity there is particularly bad. It's sort of the opposite of Europe in the Medieval period or parts of Africa now, except rather than the rich being fat and the poor thin, over there it's more common that the rich are thin and the poor fat.

Immigration, healthcare, and the cost of living etc are the issues people worry about most a

THose, and industrial development, are what the government is busy dealing with. Those are the issues (rather than migration, a topic which some here seem to obsess on, that and transgender people) that the voters have said are the biggest problems.

No, they do, but they don't know how to

Remember the 14 years of Tory chaos. Lots of soundbites aout Rwanda and nothing happened except an increase.

It's pathetic that a bunch of knee jerks are suddenly concerned about gay rights or anything other than their own egos.

It's less about anyone's human rights (some of them have suddenly become fanboys of that lowlife bigot Kirk now he's the MAGAT movement's Horst Wessel) and less about the geopolitical intricacies, history and conflicting/competing power struggles around the Middle East than it is about their own particular inadequacies.

If that is a popular demand

It isn't. It's whipped up by their regime like the rest of this.

A very useful distraction.

Norway has it, U.K has it and until recently U.S.A

In America, that has been declining ever since corporate life became more desirable for the most talented. They more often nowadays work in big business rather than public service.

The thing with Labour is they don't want to stop the boats,

More fantasy.

The Tories started them, Labour are trying to g to stop them.

If the truth be known, the Muslims will probably ignore Labour and vote for their own Muslim candidates

One reason that it's a fantasy that Labour are somehow OK with the current wave of migration.

How come 3500 have come

Anyone who has "come in" has nothing to do with the 1 in 1 out deal, have they...

Ah, that old chestnut! Many of those were deported when the Torries were in power

No they weren't. That is the number for a year to 1/9/25.

, is 6 out and 3500 in

Under the deal with France, if 6 go out, 6 ome in.

You obviously believe the propaganda, largely coming fromn malign state actors.

tories

History. Sadly, history that has had devastating effects.

ignoring the demands of the citizenry.

The demands of the 'citizenry' were for a Labour government. The biggest issue among voters polled is the Health Service, something that still works despite being deliberately run down.

Kirk went to both the Oxford Union and Cambridge Union and got his arse handed to him at both places

He got slaughtered and it's no surprise his team tried to conceal that.

When push comes to shove, he was just some YouTube student demagogue.

'one in one out

That's barely started and is neither here nor there.

How many have been sent out?

About 35,000.as of a month or so ago.

The Dublin mechanism collapsed years ago and

Yet the failed Conservative government buried their heads in the sand, leaving it for their successors to sort out. It is a complex task.

Their mere presence in the UK is evidence of criminal intent

My feeling too, however thanks to the United Nations, if they claim asylum, their case has to be considered and they have to be accommodated. The accommodation is in dumps (I have been in one) however to hear the righturd moaners, you'd think they were living in luxury.

uses his fake rehearsed spiel about how repressed he is at home?

Denial of that

Denial of that was what the conservatives were doing. Partly through incompetence and partly because they knew they'd be out of office for a decade and wouldn't have to deal with it. Now, asylum applications are being processed and visa overstayers are being deported.

Do you happen to have any data to support the claim that more than 50% of migrants are criminals?

Of course not.

Some of them are actually disappointed when a serious crime hits the breaking news and the perp turns out to be white.

interpretation of history suits Putin

Do Merkela and other German conservatives even believe that themselves?

Ukrainians set a new record for a deep strike inside North Nigeria - 2100km to bomb another oil refinery

maybe we are rather made for following a King or Queen than a party?

Or just deliberately evolve a system resistant to sudden change or political foibles. And above all resistant to American PR techniques.

What's the Rwanda Plan?

Dead. A failed conservative initiative.

Evidently we are.

As you know, populists say things to grab attention. Many have done so and many will.

In an extremely stable electoral democracy of course, it takes a lot more than that,

So basically you agree with me; what that party is saying is just PR and what matters is the votes.

You can easily appreciate that the imminent problems mentioned will very much act against that party.

But it also doesn't mean that shifting sentiments in the present

Nor of course does it mean they do.

We've been there before, several times. The reform thing is nothing new and the only system that matters works against such organisations.
