CLV can you post links to the above?

Reports of Walkie talkies going bang. This is likely to escalate things further as a lot of these devices will be in the hands of civilians i.e. emergency workers etc. This might be a step too far..

A great article in the FT about loads of private jets leaving the UK. I'm planning to do the same. I'm not rich but feel the need to leave. Rachel Reeves is a joke. Politics of envy....

Where are Russo Robots? Gone quiet

It is possible that the Russian military is in an even worse state than it appears, it's possible that what's in Ukraine is pretty much all they've got left. If there is a 'palace coup', the whole house of cards could collapse, the Russian Federation collapses into a dozen+ autonomous regions - wit...

Why does an illegal immigrant have more right to a roof over their head than a homeless person who was born here? Someone should put that to Starmer next time he starts wanking on about right wing thugs. Indeed. Did anyone see 'Sir' Mark Rowley grab and damage a journalists microphone after he was ...

Lone white male attacked by non white folks. Ralph. You need to use your brain constantly....

Folks, Labour are looking to be much worse than I was expecting. Cutting winter fuel payments to pensioners, which could easily be affordable. The 6.5 billion is roughly the same as housing undocumented migrants . I give this government 2 years max depending what happens in the US.....

So Labour calling all these idiots 'far right'. No, they are mindless thugs who could be agitprop or just a bunch of mindless dickheads. Could be anyone.....

Amazing how they are somehow looking to run 24 hour courts when the justice system is overloaded. Hmm . Folks, you've been had.....

The "stand up to racism", "stop the far right" and general anti-fascist movements seem well organised today, significantly out numbering the would be rioters. Police look to be getting a lot of overtime tonight! Lol - police ran away from the Muslim riot at Manchester airport lo...

This is just the start.....

To my naive brain, Tory & Reform = Right of Centre (RoC); Labour, Libs & Green = Left of centre (LoC) That is way too naive. The old left-right spectrum as a model for politics was already badly out of date before this election, and it is even more so now. Firstly, Labour may traditionally ...

Thanks UE I was partially joking in a previous thread but you've beaten me to the punch

I think the debate around electoral reform will grow and grow. I remember we had a referendum in 2011 to change from FPTP to Alternative Vote (AV) but it wasn't that well advertised and I believe the turnout was low. Even on the Laura Kuensberg show this morning someone mentioned how can a party tha...

The presidential debate was amusing, to say the least. Plenty of stuff online from the media sources of your choice. Democrats openly panicking about Bidens performance.
