What Is Happening To Our Country?

[whelk]

Should dispense with due process and just close everyone of these places down. Repossess making the property council assets so they don’t just reopen the next day. Oh and deport the cunts and their families

If he’s tried to stab the officers as well, then I’d go with the defence of making sure he wasn’t in a position to have another go. 

Only in this fucking country would you get a terrorist go round stabbing people and people worried the police weren’t too nasty too him when they arrested him

I certainly wouldn’t criticise the officers, and after prosecuting the terrorist I’d deport him the same day of eventual release.

I was just reflecting on how I’d present it if I was their union rep in the Met.

Looks like Polanski is leading the charge against them.

It wasn’t aimed at you, I’ve seen some “activists” bleating on social media about it that’s all. Probably the usual badge wearing placard waving oddballs who jump on every virtue bandwagon

He will regret that retweet. Brits tend to be on the side of the police over terrorists, sorry mentally ill British man..

Likes of Polanski would piss his pants and run in that situation. Lucky we have a little more courage from our coppers. Makes my blood boils these liberal cunts.

Two Green candidates arrested. The deputy of the party called their comments "abhorrent" No mention if she was asked about Polanski's comments. With Labour's struggle with anti semitism, are the Greens now the home for these people, where they feel emboldened?

I see other headlines talking about an emergency over antisemitism. It should never have got anywhere near being at that level. No wonder Starmer was heckled, as many will see his words as far too late.

Please don't go all American and confuse liberals (centre left) with left wingers with odd views. 

But yep, Polanski has done himself no favours.

Banksy's statue - wow.

Blinded by nationalism.

It’s exactly where the Corbynites have gone. There’s the populist left being anti-Semitic - not liberals @whelk - and there’s been plenty of it in local election materials from both Greens and Reform.

And then plain old anti-black from Reform at al https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn8p70xpyzeo

Corbyn must be gutted. He led quite the long chant of "Free, Free Palestine" as he was announcing the Your Party launch.

It's not enough to roughly know where you are on the political spectrum and vote accordingly. Now, you have to check which bit of them is just ahead in their internal back stabbing contest. That makes quite a difference in broad parties.

Then you have to check to make sure the people you thought you were voting for haven't formed a new party or defected to another one. Then check to see which fringe outcasts and hate mongers have been infiltrating your party of choice, and see what they're likely to get away with, in all the in fighting and possible coalitions ahead.

All for the privilege of being disappointed by their conduct, ability and delivery of anything except failure.

Add in another ingredient with the newspapers each with non-doms with different and very partisan axes to grind plus the sheer toxicity on social media and we are getting the culture we deserve.

I haven’t been pro-Royal until very recently but that speech by Charles in Congress was ace. Reminded me of what being British is really about.

Not the populist hate-mongering scum on the far left and far right. I know people want to give Labour and the Tories a kicking this month but giving these wankers more encouragement is poor judgement.
