@Sunstorm you’re happy to defend Alex Jones, a man who claims a “Jewish mafia” controls the planet?

I’m not looking forwards to this.

Shame. He absolutely deserves being booted out.

I was “throwing shade” (as the kids say) on failed Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Unfortunately, in Britain it seems that most people who declare themselves to be an “anti-racist activist” are antisemites who doesn’t believe antisemitism to be a form of racism, mostly likely because they don’t consider Jews to be actual people.

Amnesty International for using what could be interpreted as a pro-Russia position that the ongoing war is Ukraine’s fault for not having unconditionally surrendered the second that Russia starting shelling their cities.

Wankers.

Reminder of how jive Brexit is.

The trains in Germany are ultra luxury and ultra reliable compared to the ones here! ;) And ludicrously affordable. Believe me, I’ve compared. The €9 rail ticket deal sounds incredible as someone who has to pay the equivalent of ten times that for a return rail ticket to London Waterloo from...

Unions are ridiculously better in Germany by all accounts, in terms of what they offer as benefits of membership and being better organised…

Both Tory leadership contenders have said that they want to ban unions from striking. Not sure how I feel about that, seeing as trade unions all wanted Brexit, which inevitably was going to lead to the Tories scrapping our employment rights (most of which derived from EU social legislation)…

Retirees and working-age tourists both do that – it’s basically the default British behaviour when travelling to, or living in, non-English speaking countries.

Brexiteers actually told us that Brexit would only stop people coming in, and wouldn’t affect British people going out. You know things are bad for Brexit when the BBC News admits there’s a problem.

It seems unbelievable by modern standards that the governments of the world acted so decisively about banning CFCs, rather than ignoring the damage and/or turning it into a culture war issue... Those truly were different times.

The British media are raging about the long delays at British ports in Kent caused by Brexit, which they’re blaming on France. (Passports didn’t need stamping when the UK was in the EU due to freedom of movement.)

Looks like the UK will be next in line to ban abortion.

Highest ever recorded temperatures in the UK, and the media are calling us snowflakes for noticing the dangerous heat.

IIRC, the Labour Party has more registered members, but that’s more to do with Labour membership being given to people who join affiliated trade unions.

Oh, remember my local Tory MP said Britain needs to start reversing Brexit by (re)joining the EEA? He’a just got kicked out of the party conveniently while he’d been sent to visit the president of Moldova.

Yeah. Was a bit weird. I guess it’s reinforcing the idea that the Tory party = British state in some way. Apparently less than 200,000 people are Tory party members, which is a small proportion of a country with seventy million people in it…
