Talk about tone deaf, I guess we'll be seeing Prime Minister Farage on our TV screens shortly ☹️

Only one of those three was reacting to an imperialist power invading his country though.

I think the correct response from any honest aide would have to be: "Yes, your bullshit."

I'm not mansplaining anything, but I bet I know more about "equestrian subjects" than you ever will - I'm an ex-jockey who's worked with horses on 3 different continents.
Bye-bye.

Nope, just an interesting discussion. If you're not interested in a discussion I can stop, I'm not massively invested in it.

Maybe in the case you're thinking of, but horse/human burials were common from the Bronze Age forwards and they can't all have been 'voluntary' interments?

Not sure how great of a story that is, since it's unlikely the horse would have been allowed to die peacefully in their old age before being buried with the owner?

Agreed. I can remember before the internet was colonised by the market, it was a lot more fun than it is now, even if you did have to queue at the bank.

Nope, but I do see a bunch of frustrated and impotent 'progressives' (who really aren't as 'progressive' as they'd like to think they are) crying because Starmer isn't paying attention to their political genius. Anyone who thinks think Carney is not a neoliberal apparatchik isn't very smart.

Last time I looked, neither Canadians or Australians were eligible to vote in the UK?
"Progressives" have been threatening Starmer for years, they haven't stopped him yet. He's sitting in number 10 and Corbyn's crying as an independent.

I've been reading posts like this about Starmer since he ousted Corbyn. I've no love for Starmer, but he's a very professional politician who knows how to play the game, and you're, err, not.

I did, the question stands.

Proof?
The only reason I ask is that Starmer is sitting in #10 with a massive majority and you're, err, not.

So previous Labour voters who chose Reform this time are somehow 'progressives'?

By posting a picture of books which do exactly that?
I understand the intent, I disagree with the execution.

It was just as oligarchic when Biden was President, the difference is simply that now it's on show.

Starmer is completely useless, he should be using his majority to set out bold, progressive policies, not indulging in the petty insular politics of the Reform fascists.

You can't have rebellion without censorship, if there's no limit to cross then there is no rebellion.

"revere scientists"?
You do realise that it was science that got us into this mess? No science, no climate change.

Clearly there's no IQ test for 'space flight'.

Not you, I was talking to the other poster.

That's completely irrelevant, unless you have a time machine there's no point to your question.
Trying to make people feel bad for not protesting Trump last year just makes you look like a pompous twat. We are where we are, no point in looking backwards now.

When Trump is gone Bukele needs to be next out the door.

Very true.

Can we borrow your time machine then please?

Do that on a Monday and you've got a General Strike.
Only Americans would protest in their own free time!!
