This an interesting take. Maybe save for later:

Yes, why not? More affordable housing would also help in many places...

Time for Scotland to be given the power to set our own immigration levels.

No, it's disgusting. The sooner Scotland detaches ourselves from an England lurching towards the far-right, the better...

Of course, but I meant the HQ and the location of the key assemblies. It really should meet in a safe neutral country. The US no longer meets those requirements.

Haha! I know what I meant. 🤪

It's probably not very easy to do, but I believe it may be time for the UN to relocate to a more congenital country...

Never underestimate the Tories. They are very good at rebirths. All it will take is a credible leader.

Not really. Claiming that "the main parties are all the same" is a far-right delusion that I don't share. Labour gov'ts are objectively fairer than Tory ones. Given a binary choice I would vote against Tories every time.

Yet, look at the previous gov't. Sunak was weak and corrupt, the NHS, prison system and the economy were all starting to collapse. I think Labour has begun to fix the basics. We can pressure them to do more.

Basically, Micheal Foot's position.

The activities of Cummings and the various Mercer funded anti-EU campaigns were enough to swing the vote. Targeted ads deceived some voters that Turkish entry was imminent, while left-wing voters were assured that the result was 'in the bag' so their votes were unnecessary. The referendum was a sham

Winning is important, but I've more or less written off the English electorate. A socialist Scotland is much more likely if we dissolve the Union.

Perhaps Yvette Cooper would have won the GE. 🤔

I believe it was far more serious than we were told. However, I accept that I have nothing to go on except rumours. I'm not a conspiracy theorist kind of guy.

The US did have a BSE problem but it was hushed up.

He will end up costing US taxpayers more money. The Federal jobs being axed will still have to be done, but now they have been privatised and will be done less efficiently and for profit.

Yeah, some ordered their roadsters 8 years ago and paid upfront for them.

You joke, but when the US falls, the militias may well adopt the African invented "technical" armed vehicle.

Yeah, it's hard to say how much Bobby is high on his own supply, but he's been caught in lies repeatedly.
Speaking of sources who've long studied him, have you seen this thorough but concise production by @therealtruther.bsky.social , another great source?

Different shades of fascism? Franco or Hitler types, for example. I agree that it isn't confined to the US. My main concern right now is defending Europe from this anti-democratic trend.

Yes, there are now at least 2 factions (in the US) vying for control. The TBs and the Christo-fascists. There's some overlap, but they have fundamentally different aims.
