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.

@Vincent
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. [157]

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. [157]

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.

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.

Some people simply didn't vote, but if they had, they would have voted for him

How did you figure that out?

40% of the population didn't vote because the Tories and Labour are two cheeks of the same arse. Ones as bad as the other.

Won. With a supermajority.

Labour won by default, Tory voters voted for Farage and many stayed at home.

Most people don't obsess about migration, and fewer than one in five voted for that fascistic grifter Farahe.

80% of the country didn't vote for Starmer, that's 4 out of 5 of the population didn't want Starmer. Let's see how happy Labour voters are when this government run the country into the ground over the next 4 or 5 years.

UK, Ireland / "Strange " English language.. [255]

Apparently she's from Bolton

At least we weren't a million miles away with our guesses.

UK, Ireland / "Strange " English language.. [255]

That's my gut feeling.

I used to visit some friends in Stoke quite often, as well as my aunt in Stockport, and somewhere in between, I've heard that accent.

she's a bit closer to both Mancs

I would say that also. BTW she has a wicked sense of humour and I can't believe I've never heard of her before.

Hard to say but probably somewhere driveable from Macclesfield and south Stockport.

I think you hit the nail on the head there.
