Imagine having someone doing a sieg heil as your avatar whilst (no doubt) claiming to be a patriot.

I’m sure your parents or grandparents would be very proud.

He’s taking a hammering because this board seems to be full of utter bellends.

Thankfully away from the internet dwellers, most people still value common decency and can see that what Musk (and Trump) represents is a million miles from that.
Bellends FFS, why do people have to resort to this sort of dialogue!!!
Is it a lack of education and respect?
 
Only a couple of posters resorting to insults and abuse, with the same political leanings it seems, people tend to lash out with insults and abuse when they cant get their own way. I can accept other peoples beliefs without labelling them but when they start throwing insults and abuse around I cant take them seriously.

I thought it was frowned upon to call people thick?

I just see a load of people rounding on one poster whilst saying nothing, or actively supporting, another poster with someone doing a sieg heil as their avatar. So, aye, bellends. Don’t be such a snowflake, it’s hardly the most mortifyingly offensive term.

Don’t make the mistake of support for Trump and Musk or otherwise being a left v right wing thing.

There’ll be plenty of a right leaning persuasion, who at least still value decency to some extent, and on that basis will abhor the pair of them.

Exactly marra,when grown adults can’t debate without insults and abuse, I would question their decency and respect, just no need for it

Never called anyone thick that’s your assumption

I was thinking the same of you, what with the crying and being precious about being called a bellend. That’s what you’d call snowflake behaviour.

Your two posts above (the one above that quoted and then the one quoted) read consecutively are priceless by the way. Just a tad hypocritical mind.

I’m not offended,takes some doing actually just wondered why you would insult people for no reason

I’m saying nothing about the avatar because it’s obvious what Musk was doing to me, I don’t wear a tin foil hat so I don’t assume everything has meaning behind it. Barron Trump positioned his fingers together at one point and people were saying it’s illuminati man :emoticon-0102-bigsm

I think the point is the person commenting spouts absolute bollocks and resorts to insults, which is fine if you can take it back. But he doesn’t he goes off on a tangent as if you’ve said something below the belt without provocation.

I mean I didn't, but carry on.

I like a lot of his policies (disliked a lot too) but always considered his anti-semitism and sympathies with some pretty awful states and individuals to be fairly abhorrent.

Also, that picture isn't the gotcha you seem to think it is even if I was his number 1 fan.

I don't like Trump one bit but it's this kind of attitude that leads directly to people voting for him. Call people's beliefs stupid and they'll double down on them, becoming more entrenched and opting for a party/politician that reflects those beliefs more strongly. Trump and his ilk aren't the problem with modern politics, they're the natural result of it.

Answering the last line I think it’s both. Money levering influence stinks, we’re at risk of people like Musk owning everything, but politics becoming an entity that relies on it is dreadful and should be controlled and also I think politicians not tackling the issues head on like redistribution stops people thinking it makes a difference.
On dumb opinions people are defending vulnerable women and defending the misogynist sex offender trump and Musk. It’s pretty dumb. I’m sure I’m getting pelters from people who think I’m bothered but most are on ignore and have been for sometime for good reason. Of course they’re defending them two.

Away from US domestic issues, Russia says it is open to negotiating nuclear disarmament.

Moscow will engage with Washington, but only if the nuclear arsenals of the UK and France are included, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said, according to Russian state media outlet TASS.

This follows comments by US President Donald Trump yesterday, where he said he wanted to work towards reducing nuclear arms. Trump suggested that Russia and China might also support scaling back their weapons.

Responding to Trump’s remarks, Peskov told TASS: "We are certainly interested in starting the negotiation process as soon as possible."

But he also added: "In the current situation, all nuclear capacities need to be taken into account. In particular, it’s impossible to hold a conversation without taking into consideration the nuclear capacities of France and the United Kingdom. The current realities make it necessary."

Don’t worry about me mate. I don’t give a ****. They have opinions and ways of being I can’t respect so they won’t get any and in return I clearly don’t expect any back. I think this board is largely great with great people. Just a handful of arseholes like anywhere in life. I don’t tend to give my spare time to arseholes, hence the ignores.

Why on earth would you be lauding an intervention that directly calls into question the UKs ability to maintain a credible level of defence?
