I bet you'd never even heard of it or knew what the acronym stood for before the trumpists and that tìt Musk started on about it.

Wrong again, I knew about it long before you even knew what woke meant.

I'm not, since my stats are accurate and up to date whereas yours are tripe from a far-right tabloid.

Jon your opinion on stats have no credit on here, and it would be too hard for you to give an unbiased answer.

You mean apart from the obvious?

Please do tell, what is the obvious?

@Lazarus

but you can apparently tell who is and isn't genuinely entitled under UK law to asylum just by looking at them.

It's easy to tell if the dinghy people are entitled to asylum. Short answer no, they are criminals for coming to the UK illegally, and should be sent straight back to France.

Although the NHS has 279 managers (thanks to Thatcher)on over £200,000. None, not one at all, are 'DEI Officers"

Goodness, you're out of touch even more than I thought

Johnson praised for her courage in transitioning.

He wouldn't do it now, the SC ruled that a transwoman is a man.

we're now starting to puncture the Channel dinghies and return unwanted migrants (which the Tories never did),

"We're" didn't puncture anything. When the cameras were on, the French police stuck a knife in one of the dingies. In general they do nothing, just help them to leave France. So far the government has paid them £700m, for doing sod all.

we have increased the minimum wage by 7%, benefitting 3 million British workers

You forgot they also put up the NI for employers, meaning lots of workers are losing their jobs every week because employers can't afford it.

@jon347

and made a £22.6 billion increase to NHS spending

The NHS don't need more taxpayer money pumped into it, it needs to be reformed. Get rid of all those DEI officers on £200.00+ salaries first.

@jon347

cut waiting lists for 5 months in a row

This is propaganda, they give patients appointments, then cancel them a month later.

Starmer signed a one in, one out with Macron four days ago, the real truth is it will be one out and 17 in, if the amount agreed is 50 per month. What kind of stupid deal is that? Incidentally, since the deal was signed, 1400 illegals have crossed which will cost the taxpayer £40000 a year for each one. Starmers bs of "smashing the gangs" hasn't happened, in fact the gangs have smashed him. 46000 so far have come in since two tier Kier came to power.

Jon, you don't live here and don't see the everyday mess-up by Labour. You only see the left opinion in those online news rags that you read.

How did he become your leader? A coin flip?

He won by default, 75% of the country didn't vote because the Tories are just the same as Labour, just have a different name.

If it has to be explained to you, there is something lacking in the brain department... Good enough explanation?

Yes that's a good explanation, because Sir Kier Starmer need 6 SC judges to explain to him, so you're correct about the brain department

What don't you like about the current one who has a supermajority and will be in office for the next 9 years?

Like your sense of humour, Jon. In reality, he would be lucky to last to the end of the year, as Labour are imploding a little bit more each day. This man was never meant to be a leader, and has left the country in a terrible mess. God knows what it will be like in 4 years time if a general election isn't called for soon.

What law allows the gov to gag the press?

The PM can get his judge friends to create an injunction to gag the MSM. He has also taken out a "Super Injunction" which means you can't even mention the injunction.

And his father is irrelevant.

Perhaps if Starmer had refused his visa those 3 young Stockport girls would still be alive, and not murdered by his off spring.

The Times?

The Times calls itself centre right, but all newspapers have a left wing narrative, and are sometimes gagged by the government not to report on certain things. I haven't' bought a newspaper for 10 years or so, and don't intend to. They're all full of yesterday's news anyway.

What 'attempt'?

Police say it was not a terrorist attack, but a copy of "Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants: The Al-Qaeda Training Manual", was found in his home as well as a banned toxic substance. It also transpired that two tier Kier helped his father, back in the day, to get a visa for his father, who was a migrant from Rwanda. The public were taken for a ride on this one, no wonder there was a lot of tension. I would not expect you to know this, as you don't see the day to day running of this country. Those leftest rags that you read won't tell you the full story. Try to find some independent news outlets, they will be closer to the truth.

however if someone with a large social media following exhorts their followers to burn women and children to death in hostels and some of those followers go to a hostel and start a fire with the intention of doing that,

There is no proof that her post made people start fires in hotels. People were furious about the murders of three young girls, and the attempt to cover up the identity of the murderer. These rioters were thugs and done this off their own backs, without any help from a tweet. The damage to the wall, by the musk, was rebuilt by kind British workmen for free.

It really isn't.

Jon, you don't know what it's like here daily. Shoplifters not arrested, no burglaries arrests, activists breaking laws every weekend the woke and captured police don't want to know. But if someone says some hurty words on social media, you can guarantee 6 cops will turn up and arrest them. I would add that there are probably some good cops out there as well who will face dangerous situations.

Hope there is a big smile on your face today. Not the best match but right result.

Yes, of course, and it's about time we won something. Two bad clubs this season, and a scrappy goal, but we'll take it.

The system, though not perfect as we on the left know, has evolved over centuries and is very adaptable to circumstances.

The system since Labour came to power is a two tier system. One rule for certain ethnic Minorites, another for British white men and women. I forgive you for not knowing this, as you don't live here.

News / France and Germany plan to flood Poland with illegal migrants. [199]

If you watch or read rightwing propaganda online,

If you read snippets from the bias BBC online, and the "captured" MSM, you may have missed many small businesses have folded due to Labour increasing NI employers contributions. With energy prices at an all-time high, you might also have missed many shops and pubs going out of business because they can't afford the energy costs. I could write about 2 pages of the stupid things he has done in the last 10 months, but he's not worth my time.

"the country you haven't live in, for decades"
So 2021 was decades ago?

It might as well be for you, as you live and work abroad. You haven't lived here under this Labour government, and won't notice that the cost of food has nearly doubled since Starmer came into power. It's shocking walking around a supermarket each week and seeing something you bought last time, 50p more expensive.

Righwingers

As usual with the left, anyone who doesn't agree with their narrative is far right. How many times has that been used to shut down a debate. Labour are running scared after
Reform won about 700 seats in the local elections, a bi-election, and 2 or 3 mayors. This is the blueprint for the next GE, the Tories are done as a party, and Labour are all but done as well. Roll on 2029, if we don't have a civil war first.

News / France and Germany plan to flood Poland with illegal migrants. [199]

not only do we have the strongest mandate in decades but we are also unpicking the damage done by 14 years of Tories

This is the worst government in living memory. Starmer has completely ruined the country with his authoritarian stance, and is the most hated man in The UK at the moment.

All the buy to let "landlords" are selling up. Plus we're actually doing something about migration,

Starmer wants landlords to "boot out" long time native renters, and pay them (landlords) to install illegal migrants in their place. That's his solution about dong something about migration. There has been more illegal migrants arriving in the past 10 months since Labour took over, than there was with the Tories in the same period last year. It is costing the British taxpayer £4.5 million per day to put them in 4-star hotels, and to give them clothes, money, phones, driving lessons and entertainment. How is that sustainable?

This time we're in charge.

Who is "we're"? You have gone on record as saying you live in Warsaw, and work farther afield in another Continent. Where do you get your news? The bias BBC, or some other "captured" MSM? If the truth be known, you haven't a clue what's going on in the country you haven't live in, for decades. If there was a general election tomorrow, Labour would lose heavily, and I think you already know that. Thank goodness, this government is only in for one term.

News / Flood in Lower Silesia in Poland - looks catastrophic [94]

The melting ice sheets in Greenland will significantly weaken the Gulf Stream and so cut temperatures in the UK.

The one thing that will cut temperatures is clouds blocking the sun, and later turning to heavy rain. There have been many reports of cloud seeding or geoengineering going on in many countries around the world, and recently they are being more open about it, saying it is a £ billion business. bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-30197085

Global warming is as good a name as any, and yes, temperatures are rising long term everywhere.

I wish Global warming would hurry up and get to the UK. Despite what the met office will tell you about the warmest record months since records began, It has been rather a cold year, with less than 14 days when the temperature got over 24C.

News / What will Britain's Labor Coup mean for Poland? [100]

From some of the more right-leaning commentary here is the States the verdict is that it wasn't so much Labour winning as it was the Cons losing.

They are spot on. This is also the consensus here, 40% didn't vote because they knew the Tories had lost as soon as the election was announced.
