News / Was Charlie Kirk popular in Poland? [568]

Prior to his assassination he was largely unknown outside the US.

YouTube and X give him a large following outside the US, so he wasn't largely unknown.

More a far right

Far right is what the left say when someone normal is telling them the truth. It's an easy way of shutting down a debate.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 17 [606]

I'm more interested in the shockingly bad behaviour of the Yank audience at the golf tournament; it seems standards of behaviour have plummeted there.

A little bit unsporting, but at least the POTUS offered his congratulations to team Europe. Well done, Mr Trump.

It only started a week ago.

Because you don't live here, you wouldn't know it started some weeks ago. The first one was an Indian man flown to Paris. Was that not included in your Labour monthly newsletter? Anyhow, it's not going to work, anyone can see that.

starting to deal with migration

Since he signed the "one in-one out deal" with the French, there has been 6 out, 3000+ in. What a shambles, how on earth did he think that was going to work?

Johnson praised for her courage in transitioning.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

I understand that 40 of the population did not vote, i.e. approximately 60% of voters voted. That seems like a lot to me..

Your argument is flawed, it was the lowest turn out since early 2000. People working abroad can vote by post, if they are sick they can get someone (officially), to place their vote. There is no way someone would forget about the election, it was in the media 24 hours a day for 6 weeks.

You mean vote for Labour? A clear majority of those who bothered to vote in 412 constituencies put an X next to the Labour candidate.

These poor souls were just foot soldiers for Starmer, put an X to the Labour candidate box, and you get Starmer and his crew in number 10.

So no, capitalists and Socialists are not "two cheeks of the same arse".

The two main UK political parties were both singing from the same hymn sheet, no doubt there was some higher authority pulling their strings. let's remember to visit this thread in 4 or 5 years time, to see if there are any changes.
