The UK is led by cowards. Weak knee'd wanna be WWII French cowards scared to speak truth. Even Prince Chuckles can't help but bend the knee and drool on the knob of Islamism. Disgusting.
I don't recall that George VI's mother Queen Mary, the former May of Teck, involved herself overmuch in helping "Winston Churchill save England in WWII." But perhaps if Churchill and His Majesty had lain low, leaving the dowager Queen to make key decisions, then Britain would not have bankrupted itself in a suicidal war. And the Empire could look forward to a future of peaceful, glorious sunlit uplands.
William has drunk the woke koolaide. He and his family will be living in exile by the time Charlie dies. All the Churches of England cathedrals will go the way of the Hagia Sophia, call to prayer will replace Big Ben’s ring and white native Anglo Saxons will be confined to certain areas. Any actual Christians will be long dead.
Probably. Is there any reason to believe William has the ballsiness? They need a Cromwell. I know of one or two Brits who I think would be up to the job.
Blaming this on Muslims is misplaced. That's a different story that deserves discussion but I hardly think the Islamist faction would be carrying water for trans individuals.
No, from my perch here in US flyover country, it looks more like the work of the woke crowd, done on behalf of Muslims, trans, or whoever won the victim lottery that week.
It relates in as much as the Brits of late apparently will roll over and fall for anything. Didn't they used to have a spine and self-respect? What happened to Churchill's people who defended their island against all comers and suffered the bombs until the USA arrived? It truly must be that they abandoned God and were then abandoned by Him.
Precisely right. Do you know the writer, Theodore Dalrymple? That's either his pen name or his actual name, I can't remember which. The following is a good paraphrasing of a sentence he wrote twenty years ago:
"The British lower classes are the most spiritually, culturally, morally, intellectually impoverished people on Earth."
No, I am not familiar with him, but what he said sounds horrible not worthy of a former empire. But then I guess it's always been this way, ie, Dickens.
I think the larger game afoot is end-stage economic suicide.
Let me explain: Increasing top line GDP for a specific country is a safe discussion for politicians and government officials. But GDP per capita is verboten because it has been in serious decline for 50 years.
How do politicians and the ruling class avoid this conversation? You got it, bring in more people to increase top line GDP, while the natives work harder to get paid less. Its all deliberate.
That said, i just returned from London, which was 18 years since my last visit, and it was unrecognizable.
I'm not sure that it isn't all of a piece. Concern against "offending" immigrants is coupled with concern against other favored woke groups.
Recall that the current PM, Keir Starmer, was head of the Crown Prosecution Service when the Rotherham (and other locales) rape gangs surfaced. He declined to pursue it iirc.
He and his like are behind these prosecutions, which are often taken against those that protest immigrants and immigrant crime.
And the spokesman/head of Prosecutions (DPP?) is more concerned for "identified persons" (WTH is that?) than English citizens, including the thousands of young working class white girls raped repeatedly by Pakistani immigrants/descendants of Pakistanis.
Oh, you raise a distinct possibility. That will be the end. They'll be broadcasting Islamic prayers from loudspeakers on the tower of Canterbury Cathedral. Sends shivers up my spine.
This is primarily the speech of a populace who wants their nation back, their safety, their freedom, their property, and their daughters’ safety and justice. They are overrun by illegal immigrants who for decades have not adopted the civility of the British. If citizens cannot speak to one another about their government and the problems it is allowing to fester on their dimes (pounds), a dystopia has been foisted on them. If only the speech laws were limited to the trans population and not a national crisis.
It is truly Orwellian. The speech they are making illegal is anything that threatens the agenda of the parasitic establishment class. They hope that fear of even mentioning certain ideas will extinguish those ideas thus creating a ‘new normal’ for society. Make no mistake it is a totalitarianism regime that people are currently resisting. The desire to homogenize across the Anglo sphere and eventually the globe.
What have WWII French cowards or heroes to do with this. WWII Europe Occupation came after military defeats whereas today’s is only peaceful immigration push. Today’s cowards are submissive remorseful heirs unworthy of their parents.
Fair enough. I should not have qualified "WWII era" French when Macron and his government are turning tail and demonstrating cowardice much like Starmer is.
How these vermin have the courage to walk the hallway to get morning tea is surprising.
More broadly look what America aligns itself against and with. On one side you've got the BRICS. What does America have as allies? Worthless garbage. NATO is a complete nothing burger militarily and over run culturally by immigration. Half the countries in NATO were AXIS forces In the East what do we have? Japan is another AXIS power. And don't forget our crown jewel Israel. America needs to get out more, make new friends, and take out the garbage.
When the police have to run past 10 stabbings in order to track down one mean tweeter, or when you have a "sanctuary state" for child molesters, you may then know your civilization is in decline.
It is utterly ludicrous. I speak as one of many"terrorists" old ladies sitting in Parliament Square with a piece of thick paper. I didn't get arrested- they didn't have the resources.
09/03/25: 1936, Edward VIII was forced to abdicate because his relationship with Wallis Simpson violated his duties as the head of The Church of England. 89 years later, the Muslims are calling the shots. U.S.A. should cancel all military alliances with the UK, in effect tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. Let the cowardly b*stards defend themselves / fight their own wars.
J D Vance: "I was talking with a friend recently and we were talking about... one of the big dangers in the world, of course, is nuclear proliferation... And I was talking about what is the first truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon, and we were like, maybe it’s Iran, you know, maybe Pakistan already kind of counts, and then we sort of finally decided maybe it’s actually the UK, since Labour just took over."
If you can’t display St George’s cross in England arresting comedy writers is a mere bagatelle. England is so far gone you get rousted for flying your country’s colors.
Yes. Linehan has already lost everything in this fight. Those who have come after him (while I am eternally grateful for their participation) had the benefit of knowing what they were in for thanks to people like Graham. He had no idea (and no reason to believe) this would cost him everything. And I do mean everything. No hyperbole here. Poor guy.
I've been watching this happen to the poor guy since 2015. He was made an example of for sure. Many people on the side of sanity stayed sidelined because if you can ruin a successful, famous human, what chance does an ordinary person with an ordinary job and family responsibility have?
The only upside is now the normies are getting peaked.
I'm old enough to remember when England said enough is enough and murdered every Dane unlucky enough to be caught on English sod the night the music stopped. Awe. Remember it well.
And yet trans activist protesters can wave signs crying "Decapitate all TERFs!" and display a model guillotine with absolute impunity in this nation. Aren't women "a protected group," anymore? Or do the British Powers That Be subscribe to the notion that somehow chicks with dicks are more truly women than those who know what it's like to menstruate?
Ah, they are just trying to level the playing field, I mean real women don't have to wear kabuki makeup and dress like a Bratz doll to 'pass' for women. It's so *unfair* (and they genuinely complain about this too...).
The Online Safety Act of 2023 was the excuse for Ofcom (UK Office of Communications) to go after American websites. The DSA is what allowed them to fine Elon Musk/Twitter. We cannot allow foreign governments to regulate American speech, period. One main reason is that our own government will collude with them to do it! I actually wrote about the lawsuit and the history the day before this arrest blew up all over the news! https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/the-uk-advances-global-censorship
If it were up to me, we'd be discussing our "special relationship" and everything THAT entails. The UK is coasting on its old reputation like the ACLU.
It's like i'm a flaming lefty, but the only folks i can potentially count on to look after civil liberties and curbing the war machine and crony capitalism are the likes of Rand Paul and Thomas Massie.
I just wish some people who champion Buck Angel knew that it was her femdom partner that transitioned the Wachowsky (sp) brothers which in part started this whole mess. I really do not trust her either, even though so many people are more than ready to fall for 'grandpa Buck'.
UK Reform added to their platform last week, a 5-year plan to deport 600,000 illegal immigrants that falls under what they call ‘Operation Restoring Justice’. If Reform is elected, would this now be in part, the reason?
I’m not British. I’m American and observing. I’m seeing videos now of British women & children protesting against migrant hotels. It occurred this past week in Canary Wharf (rich community in London) and weeks prior at Bell Hotel in Epping (poor/middle class women/kids).
Things there are reaching a breaking point if your most vulnerable are coming out as the spear tip?
According to the last census 2021 there are almost 4M (6-7%) Muslims living in the UK. They are heavily concentrated in urban centers (15% of London population). The non-voting illegal population is a drop in the bucket.
Oh, the poor Met Commissioner, stuck between a rock and a hard place. And how, exactly, did he let himself get there in the first place? Where was he (or his predecessors) when loonies were drafting and passing such stupid legislation? Perhaps he was looking forward to enforcing these laws? Perhaps he thought it would be popular to do so?
There is an addictive thrill for all of us whenever we get to wield power over others, which is why our founding fathers were so concerned about containing creeping tyranny. ("The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.")
But, Mr. Rowley, YOUR forefathers were equally concerned about this centuries earlier, which is why they forced Magna Carta on the tyrannical King John. As others have noted on this thread, it is impossible to gainsay the cowardice, the hypocrisy, and the self-loathing of Britain's ruling classes. You fell asleep at the wheel of liberty in return for what?
Here’s a link to donate to Linehans’s legal fund. He’s quite broke as his life has been almost completely upended by this kind of persecution over the years. He’s a good egg, taking a hit for the rest of us;
It's disheartening to see the boiled-frog analogy actually proved true. Scratching my head why these tyrannical politicians aren't yet swinging from trees. Maybe it's what they're putting in the food.
Some of it ain't too bad for variations on onions, cabbage and potatoes, sometimes with cheese and beef...
There's an Aussie on youtube called Backyard Chef. He has a lot of British home cooking as well as some good international recipes. Rumbletetumps is actually a very tasty dish.
Healthier poor food than beans and rice and likely more digestible for us of that heritage.
Onion gravy sounds pretty good, at least as a cook, I do the same thing with carmelized onions, like concentrated French Onion soup. Pretty good.
And my son must be living out the mushy peas thing, he adds canned peas to all of his food. I don't get it myself, but to each his own.
My personal brush with English food was having a mom from New England stock. Boiled everything. Which now finding the Brits would fry shit up from time to time almost makes Brit food a cuisine...
faggots with onion grcy. not quite the same as anything french I actually got booted from "the free press" substack for a month for using the word faggot LOL
It's both sad and funny that while America is trying its best to move on from the Social Justice Cultural Revolution, our satellites and satrapies (UK, Australia, Canada etc) have both institutionalized and sacralized it. (When the Empire catches a cold, its vassals get pneumonia.)
It seemed insane 5 years ago when Scotland's Edinburgh University erased their most famous alumnus, David Hume, and replaced him with George Floyd—and they don't even have any black people! And then Canada denounced itself for indigenous mass graves—even though they never found any—and Australia replaced its academic science Depts with indigenous ways of knowing, though I somehow doubt its political class are taking their kids to shamans and witch doctors. And now comes the arrest of a comedian for insulting members of a protected victim class in the UK—thank god Benny Hill is dead or they would have hanged him!
All this ideological enforcement in the name of white guilt and atoning for the sins of our ancestors aka rectifying historical injustice has now been undeniably revealed as a top-down form of post-democratic control.
Chamfort said the real slogan of the French Revolution should have been "Be my brother—or I'll kill you!" and the real slogan of the Social Justice Cultural Revolution should be "Be compassionate and tolerant—or we'll destroy you!"
The West is currently in the process of giving itself an ideological lobotomy on the way to a self-applied euthanasia. Let's make sure to leave flowers on their graves but not jump in after them.
Would be funny to do a remake of Clockwork Orange where Alex is forced to watch Benny Hill! Then he would probably develop a severe psychological aversion to garters...
Thanks for this. “Arrested for looking at me in a funny way.” Not far off from the truth. I especially like it when they arrest people over there for silent prayer.
That short, bald dude Benny used to slap on the head probably didn't meet the medical criteria for dwarfism, but nowadays in the UK the definition would no doubt be "stretched" (pun intended) to jail Benny for violence against a protected class.
I wonder what would happen if Elon Musk organized a massive, million-user offensive tweet about Starmer, followed by several million people here in the US retweeting it back into the UK? Maybe nothing, but it would be fun.
I do that too. When it comes to the limp wristed, panty waisted, effete little todgers who have historically had a thing for young boys going back to their days at 'public school' I tend to be quite rude. Especially about their teeth.
Seems like a lot of Americans died 80 years ago to prevent this from happening then to the UK. We're not coming for this one, you brought this on yourselves
Don't let Rowley get away with this BS. It is painfully obvious that the coppers in England can and do exercise discretion deciding what laws to enforce. Mean Tweets: yes. Shoplifting: no. Gang rapes: only after years when the bad publicity has gotten unbearable.
Yes, they kicked you off social media if you questioned anything. They tried their best to shut any dissent down. I hope that we have all learned our lessons & never trust them again .
The UK is led by cowards. Weak knee'd wanna be WWII French cowards scared to speak truth. Even Prince Chuckles can't help but bend the knee and drool on the knob of Islamism. Disgusting.
How Brits can tolerate this is beyond me.
"We have no choice but to arrest the comedian, but we have the discretion to allow the rape gangs to go free."
I came here to say this
Bravo!
Am I nuts to pin hope on William and Kate, who seem to be mostly normal people who care about their children?
I don't think they'd have enough power even if they wanted to.
Maybe so. But George VI and Queen Mary helped Winston Churchill save England in WWII. Despite having no power.
I don't recall that George VI's mother Queen Mary, the former May of Teck, involved herself overmuch in helping "Winston Churchill save England in WWII." But perhaps if Churchill and His Majesty had lain low, leaving the dowager Queen to make key decisions, then Britain would not have bankrupted itself in a suicidal war. And the Empire could look forward to a future of peaceful, glorious sunlit uplands.
You're calling WWII a suicidal war in which the UK would have had a glorious future if only it had made peace with Hitler instead of clobbering him?
If you aren't being sarcastic--and I hope you are--you're as mad as a bulldog in the noonday sun.
Shouldn’t you be conserving your time to read your 91 Substack subscriptions?
not enough gin the world
They are Disneyland.
In ways the royals are complicit for not speaking out against this travesty. They don't get a pass. They are cowards no matter was protocol says...
William has drunk the woke koolaide. He and his family will be living in exile by the time Charlie dies. All the Churches of England cathedrals will go the way of the Hagia Sophia, call to prayer will replace Big Ben’s ring and white native Anglo Saxons will be confined to certain areas. Any actual Christians will be long dead.
At this point I'd pin my hopes on a couple of card board cut outs in their likeness.
-Bartles and James.
To call a Royal "normal" is probably hate speech.
Probably. Is there any reason to believe William has the ballsiness? They need a Cromwell. I know of one or two Brits who I think would be up to the job.
Let me know if you can think of any normal people here in the US we can pin some hopes on. I'm drawing blanks.
Not unless Charles Rex kicks off in the next month or two.
yes. their children will always be protected..the others?? not so much...
If you are referring to the UK, no they won’t be protected, and young girls have been targeted for decades.
children of the king. oh yes they will
yes...
It's a beautiful world we live in
-Devo
we are not men. we are devo. king charlie
I’ll give it to the Brits on this one: there isn’t one cop in the USA who knows what “semantics” even means.

Tnis is not immigration, it's an invasion by 7th century ideological marauders....and murderers...

Blaming this on Muslims is misplaced. That's a different story that deserves discussion but I hardly think the Islamist faction would be carrying water for trans individuals.
No, from my perch here in US flyover country, it looks more like the work of the woke crowd, done on behalf of Muslims, trans, or whoever won the victim lottery that week.
I think it goes one step further...
The Wokesters are led by the bridle.
Who holds the reins?
The Globalists.
Bingo!
it is diversion. easy to take over when other sre looking the other way.
It relates in as much as the Brits of late apparently will roll over and fall for anything. Didn't they used to have a spine and self-respect? What happened to Churchill's people who defended their island against all comers and suffered the bombs until the USA arrived? It truly must be that they abandoned God and were then abandoned by Him.
Precisely right. Do you know the writer, Theodore Dalrymple? That's either his pen name or his actual name, I can't remember which. The following is a good paraphrasing of a sentence he wrote twenty years ago:

No, I am not familiar with him, but what he said sounds horrible not worthy of a former empire. But then I guess it's always been this way, ie, Dickens.
Unfortunately, that sentence now describes Oxbridge grads even better.
I think the larger game afoot is end-stage economic suicide.

That said, i just returned from London, which was 18 years since my last visit, and it was unrecognizable.
i go once or twice year. agree more women in burkas. more men in beards.
I'm not sure that it isn't all of a piece. Concern against "offending" immigrants is coupled with concern against other favored woke groups.
Recall that the current PM, Keir Starmer, was head of the Crown Prosecution Service when the Rotherham (and other locales) rape gangs surfaced. He declined to pursue it iirc.
He and his like are behind these prosecutions, which are often taken against those that protest immigrants and immigrant crime.
No one said they were. But the two issues are totally intertwined insofar as the law is concerned (or unconcerned).
Your litany sounds like a Devil's version of something from Gilbert and Sullivan. It needs a tagline, though.
"And I foresee a sunni day!"
Not just marauders, but rapists.
And the spokesman/head of Prosecutions (DPP?) is more concerned for "identified persons" (WTH is that?) than English citizens, including the thousands of young working class white girls raped repeatedly by Pakistani immigrants/descendants of Pakistanis.
Wake me when the archbishop of canterbury is moozie.
Will happen sooner than you think.

Oh, you raise a distinct possibility. That will be the end. They'll be broadcasting Islamic prayers from loudspeakers on the tower of Canterbury Cathedral. Sends shivers up my spine.
Who is voting for them? Not just muslims?
Its not about who's voting for them. Its about how many people are resigned to apathy who don't vote.
It is the Umayyads' revenge.

So because Japan, Germany and Italy were Axis we should get new friends? Did you write this while you were hyperventilating?
Because? You expect them to tell you they're garbage? AXIS status is illustrative. It's revealing. Breath.
Found the retard.
I don't hold it against the former AXIS countries. I agree with your last sentence, particularly as it relates to foreign aid.
James Lindsay would like a word.
There's an appearance on Joe Rogan. Guess I have to deem now. Better be good or damn you.

09/03/25: Starmer-Mosley (PM) is proof that Hitler was merely a man ahead of his time by about 80 years.
You talking about two-teir Keir?
Or are you talking about Hauptsturmführer Starmer?
Maybe we should just shorten it to Stürhmer?
09/03/25: 1936, Edward VIII was forced to abdicate because his relationship with Wallis Simpson violated his duties as the head of The Church of England. 89 years later, the Muslims are calling the shots.

The measure also calls for repealing the 1998 Human Rights Act and replacing w/ a new British Bill of Rights.
Time will tell. But these are fresh shoots that are (IMO) only possible because of what is occurring in America.
I wish you well and hope for the best for the true citizens of the UK.. Sincerely.

Wesley Winter (guy interviewing everyone) is what I call a true journalist.
We actually love our British cousins...when they stand up for shared freedoms!
This lot, like the soyboi "Elbows Up!" snow Mexicans to our North...
Well, we've fought several wars against both of 'em.
According to the last census 2021 there are almost 4M (6-7%) Muslims living in the UK. They are heavily concentrated in urban centers (15% of London population). The non-voting illegal population is a drop in the bucket.
Oh, the poor Met Commissioner, stuck between a rock and a hard place. And how, exactly, did he let himself get there in the first place? Where was he (or his predecessors) when loonies were drafting and passing such stupid legislation? Perhaps he was looking forward to enforcing these laws? Perhaps he thought it would be popular to do so?
There is an addictive thrill for all of us whenever we get to wield power over others, which is why our founding fathers were so concerned about containing creeping tyranny. ("The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.")
But, Mr. Rowley, YOUR forefathers were equally concerned about this centuries earlier, which is why they forced Magna Carta on the tyrannical King John. As others have noted on this thread, it is impossible to gainsay the cowardice, the hypocrisy, and the self-loathing of Britain's ruling classes. You fell asleep at the wheel of liberty in return for what?
Shame on them all.
The Commissioner can refuse to enforce such laws...
Here’s a link to donate to Linehans’s legal fund. He’s quite broke as his life has been almost completely upended by this kind of persecution over the years. He’s a good egg, taking a hit for the rest of us;

There's a lot of people donating here as well: https://buymeacoffee.com/glinner
I also subscribe to his substack. He has some very talented guest writers as well.
It's disheartening to see the boiled-frog analogy actually proved true. Scratching my head why these tyrannical politicians aren't yet swinging from trees. Maybe it's what they're putting in the food.
No 2A in UK, leads to diminished 1A
Underappreciated post.
have you had British “food"
Some of it ain't too bad for variations on onions, cabbage and potatoes, sometimes with cheese and beef...
There's an Aussie on youtube called Backyard Chef. He has a lot of British home cooking as well as some good international recipes. Rumbletetumps is actually a very tasty dish.
Healthier poor food than beans and rice and likely more digestible for us of that heritage.
what no fags with onion gravy... LOL. along with some mushy peas...
Onion gravy sounds pretty good, at least as a cook, I do the same thing with carmelized onions, like concentrated French Onion soup. Pretty good.
And my son must be living out the mushy peas thing, he adds canned peas to all of his food. I don't get it myself, but to each his own.
My personal brush with English food was having a mom from New England stock. Boiled everything. Which now finding the Brits would fry shit up from time to time almost makes Brit food a cuisine...
faggots with onion grcy. not quite the same as anything french I actually got booted from "the free press" substack for a month for using the word faggot LOL
Their loss, I suppose.
Due to exposure to public television, I understand English. I got your meaning. Tho 'Spotted Dick' still makes me giggle,
Lol!
It's both sad and funny that while America is trying its best to move on from the Social Justice Cultural Revolution, our satellites and satrapies (UK, Australia, Canada etc) have both institutionalized and sacralized it. (When the Empire catches a cold, its vassals get pneumonia.)
It seemed insane 5 years ago when Scotland's Edinburgh University erased their most famous alumnus, David Hume, and replaced him with George Floyd—and they don't even have any black people! And then Canada denounced itself for indigenous mass graves—even though they never found any—and Australia replaced its academic science Depts with indigenous ways of knowing, though I somehow doubt its political class are taking their kids to shamans and witch doctors. And now comes the arrest of a comedian for insulting members of a protected victim class in the UK—thank god Benny Hill is dead or they would have hanged him!
All this ideological enforcement in the name of white guilt and atoning for the sins of our ancestors aka rectifying historical injustice has now been undeniably revealed as a top-down form of post-democratic control.
Chamfort said the real slogan of the French Revolution should have been "Be my brother—or I'll kill you!" and the real slogan of the Social Justice Cultural Revolution should be "Be compassionate and tolerant—or we'll destroy you!"
The West is currently in the process of giving itself an ideological lobotomy on the way to a self-applied euthanasia. Let's make sure to leave flowers on their graves but not jump in after them.
The only solution for the UK would be to show Benny Hill re-runs on the BBC in a continual loop until the fever lifts. Could take awhile.
Would be funny to do a remake of Clockwork Orange where Alex is forced to watch Benny Hill! Then he would probably develop a severe psychological aversion to garters...
We can't find der sheepen in der rainen
where is the Black Adder when you need him. oh wait. he also complained about free speech..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiqDZlAZygU. a good listen
Thanks for this. “Arrested for looking at me in a funny way.” Not far off from the truth. I especially like it when they arrest people over there for silent prayer.
That short, bald dude Benny used to slap on the head probably didn't meet the medical criteria for dwarfism, but nowadays in the UK the definition would no doubt be "stretched" (pun intended) to jail Benny for violence against a protected class.
I miss Dave Allen.
He was pretty cheeky too.
he was folically challenged...
love that guy!
I wonder what would happen if Elon Musk organized a massive, million-user offensive tweet about Starmer, followed by several million people here in the US retweeting it back into the UK? Maybe nothing, but it would be fun.
I do my part every day.
Fuck these bastards.
I make sure I taunt them like French. Their mothers were all hamsters! Their fathers smell of Elderberries! Come and get me Starmer!
I tend to be more...American in my posts.
Sometimes the Brits need that Yankee "fuck 'em" support to find their upper lip...and their backbone.
I do that too. When it comes to the limp wristed, panty waisted, effete little todgers who have historically had a thing for young boys going back to their days at 'public school' I tend to be quite rude. Especially about their teeth.
And their fashion choices.
Jesus, you've got British fashion... icons like Di and Cate reveled in Made in the UK fashion and you dress like a private schoolboy with no choice.
Shameful for a gay man like Starmer. :)
Don't get me started on the overlong hugs of certain Ukrainian gnomes.
And their fathers smelled like elderberries! :)
I'm sorry, I remembered that line as we were both typing, methinks.
Great minds think alike, LOL.
No doubt. :) Monty Python would never be allowed to exist these days.
Aw hell no!
Every time I hear about a man in women's sports, I can only think of Ken Clean-Air System beating up a schoolgirl.
Absolutely.
Seems like a lot of Americans died 80 years ago to prevent this from happening then to the UK. We're not coming for this one, you brought this on yourselves
You're right of course, but in 4 years there's a chance of a new Govt to stop all this nonsense.
But, think how close the US came. If Harris/Walz had won, what would the US look like?
Scary to comtemplate.
Don't let Rowley get away with this BS. It is painfully obvious that the coppers in England can and do exercise discretion deciding what laws to enforce. Mean Tweets: yes. Shoplifting: no. Gang rapes: only after years when the bad publicity has gotten unbearable.
Like it’s been said…fascism is always falling on the US but always lands in Europe.
We should stop bombing useless caves in Iran & start bombing London & Brussels if we want to be fighting for the cause of freedom.
Twitter meme:
Person A) How's it living in Britain?
Person B) I can't complain.
Person A) Well, I guess that's ok.
Person b) No...I can't complain or I'll end up in jail.
They almost did it to Americans during covid.
Almost.
That's why Trump won again.
Yes, they kicked you off social media if you questioned anything. They tried their best to shut any dissent down. I hope that we have all learned our lessons & never trust them again .
The struggle’s never over…
In America your post is conversation. In the UK a crime.
Right. Becuz bombing wurx. Every time!
