    Amazing scenes in Belfast.

    https://x.com/RachelMoiselle/status/2029200277551640995

    This makes for extraordinary watching.

    An Irish keffiyeh-clad man accuses Iranians of being ‘puppets’ when they try to tell him that the Islamic Regime has killed more Iranians than anyone.

    An Irish woman tells the Iranians to ‘go back to your own country’, which is just astonishing for an Irish ‘refugees welcome’ leftist to say (I suppose that welcome does not extend to refugees who challenge pre-existing biases about the Middle East). She also denies the tens of thousands killed by the Regime in recent weeks, which visibly upsets an Iranian woman.

    Totally off topic... the new base Apple laptop looks like it could be really great value, with some very sensible compromises. Just a shame it only has 8gb or RAM rather than 16gb.

    Laptop? Are you a time traveller from times gone by?

    Starmer's epitaph as PM: Present but not involved

    https://x.com/CDP1882/status/2029196167699943892

    Western officials have told GB News that the US has NOT launched any attacks on Iran from British bases since Starmer granted permission... but this is anticipated to change soon.

    American bombers are expected to start arriving at RAF Fairford for strikes.

    As you're their only viewer I'm surprised they bothered.

    Reform a small swing from finishing fifth or sixth in seats
    And they were 'second in 54 seats' in that MRP.
    Lol
    Farage really has to get his finger out and name his candidates, for both Holyrood and Senedd. election day is 9 weeks tomorrow! We can all see they are hand picked, the tactic of holding off naming or sake of old social media posts will backfire badly.

    I was pretty sceptical about the MRP which has SNP as high as 67 seats, we will see some variation across Scotland and party support will be quite concentrated.

    People are finally starting to click that a list SNP vote is wasted, so I expect the Greens to get 2 MSPs in most regions.

    The Tories should be pretty concerned with recent polling, maybe even more than Mr Sarwar
    The voting system in Scotland is absolute shit
    "It's shite being Scottish..."
    Do you have tourettes?
    GB News right..

    Is Beverly Turner going to sit on a bomb and glide down to immortality FOR Donald, St George and GB News.

    Far far more likely to be refuelling fleet any way.
    Bev Turner? Where?!

    The Iranians should chin the fat prick.

    I have to say after two years in charge this is the first time I have been proud of our British government. I've just listened to Pete Hegseth and 'The Rest Is Politics' and who would believe that we've finally got ourselves a PM who believes in the rule of law and has higher values than the current US administration and two of our own opposition parties.

    Starmer refuses the use of US airbases and then 48 hours later grants permission for the US to use them in offensive bombing in Iran

    Spain refuses the use of US airbases, full stop

    Can you not see the difference ?

    Saw a report on a GOP rep losing a primary. Their main crime? Acknowledging Biden won in 2020.

    Probably more to it, but the lack of Trump endorsement still kills careers, so no independence in Congress to come.

    Not unexpected, but dumb.

    FON seems to be prompting regularly now, for Restore, and Your Party.

    Without such prompting, Reform would likely be on 25/26%, and the Conservatives on 18/19%.

    Reform UK: 24%
    🟢 Greens: 20%
    🔵 Conservatives: 17%
    🔴 Labour: 16%
    🟠 Lib Dems: 10%
    ⬛ Restore Britain: 7%
    🔴 Your Party: 1%

    Restore Party. I forget which right wing lot is that, Rupert Lowe or the Ben Habib or somebody else? If I don't know who the f##k they are, I am a bit suss the public do.

    YourParty definitely fumbled the ball.
    YP included one leader past their prime and the other not yet with sufficient profile. Then their incompetence cemented that Polanski surge was the new game in town.
    YP is for those who think the Greens aren't left wing enough, which is a small constituency tbh.

    Your definition of offensive bombing seems to be very different from Starmer and indeed Trump

    The voting system in Scotland is absolute shit
    Wales is showing the way going fully d'Hondt.

    Scotland should follow.
    Devolution should be reversed as a failed experiment.
    Scotland is stuck in political purgatory. Nothing gets done whilst power is further centralised away from councils. Second rate politicians fill the seats at the Temu Parliament and third rate councillors are left doing f-all of worth either singing for or blaming the SNP. Meanwhile the SNP act as an opposition/protest party fighting WestMonster (tm), kept there by a voting system that fragments the unionist vote and consolidates the indy vote.
    Everything gets worse
    Nothing improves
    But stick *Scotland after (insert institution name here) and we'll all feel better about not being English.

    Devolution was sold as “power closer to the people” and delivered “more politicians, fewer outcomes”. Scotland now gets the worst of both worlds: centralised control with local accountability. If that’s the success story, I’d hate to see failure.

    utter bollox, only independence will ever sort Scotland's problems. As long as we are a miniscule add on to England there will never be change here as all the power and money is done in London.
    As an aside grow a pair you snivelling cur.
    Calm down, dear!
