@survivingalmost@ofgardenthe It’s the peace and quiet, comfy seats we book for. The bonus is having a few glasses of wine and reasonable food. But compared to whats on offer outside of the lounges it’s much better imho
@amcey3@ofgardenthe Yes it’s annoying when they make it too cheap tbh. Defeats the object. One airport I use then opened up a second more expensive lounge once the cheaper one got a bit chavvie. I only fly inter-uk or short haul so haven’t had the pleasure of the long haul ones yet.
@ofgardenthe@mixedrace95@DavidJa51216245 It does seem odd because no airport lounge I have been in to date has allowed a free guest. Always have paid per person.
@GeraldAnd4729@afneil Good God, either you are living in a parallel universe or running interference for our worst performing govt; in terms of benefit to wider society and the future of our country. Tbf all previous govt for decades have been setting the scene for this final destruction.
Just to remind these same folk:
You’ve not lifted 1/2m kids out of poverty. You’ve just moved them over a bureaucratic line on a Whitehall spreadsheet.
Your ‘workers rights’ are destroying entry-level jobs, hitting young people disproportionately, where unemployment is now over 16%.
You have not transformed the NHS. It’s still the same old wheezing leviathan, just with a lot more dosh and still dismal productivity.
And you’ve nationalised steel and rail before. It was not the prelude to an economic or industrial miracle. Plus you will now have to include their demands for capital/subsidies among all the other priorities already crowding in on the public purse.
Other than that your reminder was useful. Thank you.
Media today:
When middle class liberal women were having their knees stroked by leering CEOs, it was worthy of a global movement.
When 12 year old working class white girls are having broken bottles and baseball bats inserted into them, it's not worth bothering with.
Now you know how we feel.
We don't see colour = we're racist.
We see colour = we're racist.
We're proud of our country = we're racist.
I don't care any more, Zara.
Call me what you want.
Stick me with whatever labels get you off.
I don't care.
Massive damage has been done to our women, our children and our country by people we have welcomed and tried to accommodate.
No more.
We're done being civil.
We're done being polite.
Okay, here's the thing, Zara.
I'm going to talk to you as a rational human being here, which is more than you deserve, given that you're a champion of Islam and the way it treats your fellow women (not to mention ours, but more on that later). Nonetheless, I will do you the courtesy of addressing you with some respect.
10 years ago, I was as liberal as they came. I had absolutely no issues with Islam, or Muslims. Hell, I even defended Muslims to real bigots and racists. I was in favour of multiculturalism and thought it enriched us rather than destroyed us.
Then, I started seeing men (just men) wearing life jackets in dinghies arriving at our shores. At first, I thought they were fleeing some terrible atrocity. How wrong I was.
Then, I saw Islam slowly taking over our towns and cities. Bradford. Birmingham. Rotherham. Manchester. Crowds of Muslim men on the pavement, slowly claiming each area as their own, telling white people to leave their territory.
Then, I heard and read stories about women and young girls getting harassed, attacked and r*ped while walking the streets by men who spoke very little English and had a middle-Eastern appearance...
Then I started reading and hearing about the Asian grooming gangs, and how our women and kids were tortured, raped and, in some cases, killed so that some of your more perverted and depraved men could get their sexual kicks.
And then today, with the release of this report, came a final realisation - almost an epiphany: Islam is not compatible with British values, customs or culture. In no way, shape or form.
I am not a right-winger. I'm not a racist, Islamophobe or whatever name you want to call me. I'm just a bloke who remembers how it was, and wants to to be that way again. I'm just a bloke who loves his country and his history. I'm just a bloke who wants the future to be a bright one for the British people.
I'm also a bloke who you would gladly see thrown from the top of a building for something you find an abomination. The true abomination is how your men have treated the most vulnerable in our society - our kids and our women.
I'm also a bloke who loves dogs. They're the most lovable, faithful and beautiful creatures on God's earth, but you consider them unclean.
That's the difference between you and us.
It's nothing to do with the colour of your skin. It's nothing to do with where you came from.
It's to do with the fact that you don't belong here. Multiculturalism was a massive failure. The experiment was cataclysmically flawed. You won't integrate. You won't respect us, our culture, our past or our heritage. You just want to turn us into another Islamic country.
Not gonna happen.
And you, in particular, do everything you can to bait us, then play the victim when you receive pushback. I see you. 👀
You have 57 other choices, Zara. Pick one. Be happy. Leave us alone. Do all of that, and I will truly wish you well.
I don't care how offended you get. I love my country, and I will never apologise for it. 🇬🇧
As you were.
We know that Pakistan is a deeply misogynist country, with customs verging on the ridiculous, such as the brother of a rape victim being ordered by a judge to rape the sister of the rapist to bring justice and balance the honour between the families.
The Left insist, with a straight face, that when these men come to Britain they somehow become more Western than actual Western men? That they aren't over-represented in horrific misogynistic sex crimes against girls they've been told by their community leaders are "infidels" and "free game"?
Anyone else find it strange…
A couple weeks after the internet exposed the UK trying to hide the Henry Nowak murder the UK is pushing internet censorship?
I’m sure it’s a total coincidence.
It's interesting that for the 22 people killed by an refugee at the Manchester Arena we're told "don't look back in anger", but for Jo Cox, we're told to constantly look back in anger.
🚨THIS IS JUDGE LORD JUSTICE TIMOTHY HOLROYDE
This is the judge who REFUSED Lucy Connolly her appeal after she was convicted for a social media post.
Meanwhile this very same judge CUT the sentence of Labour's Lord Ahmed by THREE YEARS after he was convicted of child sex offences. His sentence was reduced to just two and a half years from five and half years.

Tommy Robinson has just walked out of court with a victory that is already being called one of the most explosive free-speech moments in Britain.
The terrorism-related case against him — linked to his refusal to hand over his phone PIN to UK police — was thrown out after the judge ruled the stop unlawful and reportedly said Robinson had been targeted because of his political views.
This was not just about a phone. This was about power, politics, journalism, and whether the state can treat someone like a national security threat simply because it dislikes what they say.
Robinson says he refused to unlock his phone to protect journalistic sources. The state treated it as a terrorism matter. The court, according to Robinson’s reaction, saw something far more disturbing: political targeting.
Then came the detail that made the story explode worldwide: **Elon Musk reportedly helped finance Robinson’s legal defense**, stepping in where others stayed silent and turning the case into a global battle over free expression. Robinson thanked Musk publicly, asking why it had taken an American businessman to fight for justice in Britain.
“First of all, thank you, Elon Musk,” Robinson said, before adding that he was targeted because of his political beliefs and that counterterrorism police were allegedly used to get access to his phone as a journalist.
For supporters, this ruling is a brutal warning to the establishment: if terrorism powers can be used against controversial speech today, who will be next tomorrow? Critics will still call Robinson divisive, but this case has forced a bigger question onto the table — do rights only apply to people the government likes?
I was attacked, mocked, insulted and my character dragged through the mud for daring to suggest that the Government tried to control the narrative
Now we know there's an entire bloody department for it!
Our Government lie.

43000 Muslims on the Terror Watchlist and the government/mainstream media are trying to make Tommy Robinson the face of terrorism.
They think we’re all stupid.
They’re playing an old game in a new world.
The times have changed wankers, we see you.
