woman

She seems a complete nutcase.

Hard to know why she has such an audience.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 25 [1150]

I find no evidence that most russians are unhappy with the current situation.

Indeed, however Putler can't go forward and if he's seen to be weak, his own backers will eat him.

I wish that weren't the case

The West's policy of slowly grinding them down is working. We often forget how competent the combined military and geopolitical strategists in the free world are.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 25 [1150]

And they still try stuff like this in the free world. And they get caught:

"Two men and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of spying for Russia.

A 41-year-old man and 35-year-old woman were arrested at an address in Grays while a 46-year-old man was arrested at a separate address in the town, the Metropolitan Police said.
All three were arrested on suspicion of assisting a foreign intelligence service, contrary to section 3 of the National Security Act (NSA), 2023.
They were taken to a police station in London and have since been released on bail with conditions while investigations continue."
metro.co.uk/2025/09/18/two-men-a-woman-arrested-essex-suspicion-spying-russia

russia's new normal is war (killing and destruction) for the sake of killing and destruction... no aims, no end goal, no victory that would make them happy and want to stop, just endless brutality and violence....

They're in a bind. Can't go forward, can't go back.

For example the way they're so "F*ck your feelings!" when it comes to insulting other people

An absolute lack of empathy and a dog eat dog attitude.

Bizarre, since the person involved's history of guilty verdicts suggests that he's the dog that gets eaten.

when somebody dares to tell jokes about their hypocrisy, they morph into special snowflakes

Basicall very weak people putting on a loud front that they can't live up to in real life.

With ranting loons like that, no wonder people laugh at them.

We really should encourage more US colleges (and high schools) to open chapters of Turning Point

At least it keeps them in one place.

sliding towards a civil war?

If it is, then it's nothing to do with the three police officers killed in Pennsylvania. That was not a political event; it was a domestic crime/ More an effect of their lax laws on gun ownership.

Charlie Kirk will be remembered for generations, there will be battleships named after him.

Maybe a golden statue of him next to Mt Rushmore? A Steven Yaxley-Lennon National Library? A Large Hadron Collider named after that Clarkson guy from Adwick?

When he was asked about it the day after he responded by talking about his ballroom.

Trup was asked "How do we fix this country? How do we come back together?" He replied "I couldn't care less"

because you exist in a left wing echo chamber

That's a very strange assumption to make. Wrong as well.

the scale of the event

Less than the murder of that politician and her husband and far less than a school shooting.

It's being whipped up for political purposes.

As mentioned, most people outside his own country (and millions in it) had never heard of him. Most people don't watch extreme YouTubers or tiktokkers.

Most people aren't that interested and certainly hadn't heard of him before, unless they like watching extreme content on YouTube.

Americans in America. Their malign hand doesn't reach outside.

Imagine if they tried it with people in the UK; the industrial tribunals would go to town.

Anyway, it's factual. He was a YouTuber with extreme views who advocated for public executions and made racist comments.

this is not going away,

Until it does.

this was a

Youtuber shot by someone and which is now being milked. Do you rememebr the Minnesota politician and her husband who were murdered? Where was the attention about that?

I'd advise against doing so in public.

Advise away, the guy was an extremist.

underestimating the depth of feeling

Or how easy it is to whip things up.

Some people are very easily manipulated and the backers of rightwing parties spend a lot of time and effort on doing this well.

Hey, let's bang on about transgender people with blue hair, or have a candelight vigil for an extreme youtuber, or blame migrants in a hostel or joke about Diane Abbott's fat arse. Instead of asking why some 'investors' are making more money from someone's job than they are themselves or why they can't get a hospital appointment or buy a house with only one wage in the family.

Unless you'd prefer to live in a world where inciting mass murder and spreading racial hatred go unpunished (which I'm sure you don't when you actually think about it).

To be fair, there are some appalling individuals holding a minute's silence for a fringe youtuber who was very happy indeed to incite race hate and advocate for public executions.

Unfortunately people are easily conned by gangster capitalists and their rightwing stooges.

Allowing ......grooming

In which dictionary is "allowiing" on the same page as "jailing"?

in prison

The moral of that story is, don't incite pogroms.

I don't think they have a choice at this stage

They can't stop climate change or the disparity in population growth, so time to understand that the world will be very different in the future.

That's a bit daft, especially as new Britons come from all over the world, all religions and cultures, however yes, nothing ever stays the same.

Classifieds / ı want to make commarence abt zyn [24]

you talking about license and some things like that

The people talk about it.

is why I said you don't need to pay tax and you don't need license to sell it while you with your bare hands

So what then happens when you become ill, go to hospital, and have to wait all day because they're short of nurses? Or you're walking home and get robbed because there's not enough police? Or you fall over on the pavement because there's no money to repair it?

I don't see how rejoining would help in this case?

They weren't coming then, since the legal mechanism existed to prevent it, and of course Micron is letting them cross as a form of hybrid warfare.

Everyone whinges about them; nobody has a plausible solution. And when our new Labour government actually try to sort it, the bollock faced gammons all blame them for the failings of the previous 14 years of rightwing misrule that caused the problem and during which the boats started.

quote=Lazarus]the small boats crossings are little more than a distraction from the overall numbers, which are themselves just a distraction from bigger issues.[/quote]
Very much so.

And the thing is, migration to Europe will only increase over the next few decades. And probably increase massively.

Brexit and failure to collect taxes. Brexit has caused a 4.5% drop in UK GDP, but Starmer won't even mention it,

And of course the Tories privatising things. Selling off our national assets to corporate pirates that pay huge dividends and to whom we've also hat to pay 200 billion.

Anyone who thinks there's an easy answer isn't the person who has to fix that. Migration is not the biggest problem.

the thick northern racists

Less of the northern. I may be thick (at least my OH keeps saying "I love how it's so very thick" however it was us who got the Tories out.
