    I dread to think of the sort of degenerate that would publicly support them over here.
    Can't be many university students that are open about being conservative, let alone that far right.
    I'm guessing religious nuts, future MPs and young men that look about 40.

    Would it surprise you to hear that Laurence Fox and Calvin Robinson have both publicly supported them...?

    Not remotely, but has anyone in their target demographic done so?

    The one time this phrase - which he and his minions repeatedly denied he used - was justifiable

    It's such a silly comparison to make.
    The Nazis weren't the first rabid Antisemites and they certainly won't be the last.

    I'm guessing there's reasons people didn't vote for Brian...

    He's a grifter. Failed as a Democrat, so he switched sides and instantly started spouting nonsense.
    His opponent currently has nearly 75% of the vote in a two horse race with 93% counted.
    He got annihilated.

    This is a long read, but should be headline news and the subject of the highest level of Security Service investigation.
    Frighteningly though, this all comes as no ****ing surprise whatsoever <doh>

    Oh, I think the Parliamentary Standards Committee would be interested to hear that the haunted chimney has a stake in GorillaBelch News, considering how it doesn't appear to be on his registered list of interests

    Here's the numbers without the click

    Braverman, the actual Home Secretary, appears to have gone rogue - almost XRW domestic terrorist level rogue! <doh>

    Sunak won't/can't sack her and now her 'supporters' are getting vocal.

    Now, I know I haven't lived in the UK for the last few years, but I don't remember a 'Remembrance Weekend' existing before. :huh:
    Just Armistice Day on Saturday and Remembrance Sunday, when actually the special day should be 11/11.

    This is more powerful and more worrying because it comes from a Tory peer. Braverman is not naïve like Truss she has calculated what she said and wrote. These are precisely the tactics used from time immemorial to create insurrection. These are the tactics of a politician who calculates the loss of the next election and decides that desperate situations call for desperate measures. The last politician in England to use such tactics was Oliver Cromwell.

    Thatcher went to war with Argentina over a rock in the mid-Atlantic. That must be up there in desperate electioneering tactics! <laugh>

    On a serious note, I really find this latest 'hate-stoked' Tory rhetoric to be very disturbing.
    Not sure exactly why this has hit more of a nerve than any of the other extreme policies and scandals, but there is something really disgusting and dangerous about it.
