Yeah I agree; politicians in the centre ground need to do much more to engage people’s concerns, instead of brushing them off as right wing nutters. Because if they don’t people get sucked in by the actual racists out there who are happy to fan the flames of people’s genuine concerns.
Here's a new one. My eldest sister is 76, been working at the same place for over 40 years, she's a manager there. Before Christmas 3 of her staff retired, they replaced them with 2 young girls, one started, as soon as they got back in the new year, the other one a week later. After my sister showed her around the floor and introduced her to her new co workers, she said 'most of the other workers have been here a long time and all get along, there is some good banter but no one takes it too far' My sister was called in by upper management on Friday and was told the new girl was upset at the prospect of being ridiculed by the banter she may encounter and was told to tell her staff all banter is to stop with immediate effect. She laughed, walked out the office after telling them to tell them themselves. Tomorrow morning could be interesting.
Yeah, that’s definitely an issue, too. I agree with that. My personal concern is that my eldest daughter is in her 20’s now. In another 5 years or so she could be starting her own family. Maybe that’s prodding me because I don’t want my future grandkids growing up in where society is now heading so I’m speaking out more and less concerned about what people think of me. Trump came in and whether or not he follows through with his rhetoric or not about deportations and strengthening his countries borders to allow no one else in while he secures the mess his country is in (see the popping up tent cities) regarding some of their states, appeals to me. I believe that’s what we need here. So if a politician from any party over here stands up and says the same for the UK, they’ve now got my vote. Immigration is now my main concern. To clarify, I don’t want ‘no more immigrants’ but I do want the population reduced starting with the millions who are here illegally and unvetted, then after that go back to numbers of approximately 30k net migration which has always served us well. Current estimations is that it’s now over 500k per year. Our small island can’t cope with these numbers and we need it reversed.
Weak and entitled. To easily butthurt. She’ll still be in probation. **** her off. This is just another example of how we now pander to the minority at the expense of the majority. Our culture and way of life is being eroded with this ****.
Same. I really don't know what the truth is but i have my own opinion on it. I also cannot be bothered to argue, happy to discuss and debate but at the end of the day i can't be bothered to "sway" people. You can't beat someone around the head with this stuff and also i don't think it will also make a difference either although i do find this stuff sometimes interesting. What will be will be
I was going to type it, it's easier you just watch it and you read the subtitles, especially when he gets to the empire bit... Fooking hell.
I think the point you’re missing is that Musk is pretty obviously a Hitler loving fascist. And I’ve got your number btw.
Lukashenko has said many times his country is all but controlled by Russia and he is a governor. Zelensky said that he received phone calls from Lukashenko after the invasion apologising but he can't do a thing. He only gets annoyed about this stuff when a Western country which confiscated his bank accounts talks about it. This is classic Lukashenko, he is asked a question about HIS countries democracy and uses it to reply "ye well **** u" but in some nonsense wannabe Putin malarkey.
Polls are nuts rn lol. So inconsistent for one, but also vote splitting is intense. Labour are bleeding numbers to Liberals and Greens (who haven't seen a polling drop off post election). Both those parties are polling around 14% - 10%. Then you have Tories who are obviously battling Reform everywhere. The issue that Green and Reform have is they don't have a base ground. Reform especially has support across almost every single seat and collected in some specific coastal towns. Lab, Con, Lib have specific places they know for a fact they can win seats.
Well at least Musk cleared up any confusion over that salute gesture by giving a speech at a rally for neo-Nazi's
He said that they should 'get over' it. As I said to @Saf can you imagine the furore if somebody had told the Jews to 'get over' the Holocaust.
well the Japanese have not shown any remorse for their atrocities and apart from Korea and China no one seems very bothered about that
They are still at it - just a bit more subtle - got the world eating dead uncooked fish ffs... utter bastards
