So called ‘British patriots’ really are a confused bunch…
Imagine siding with a Russian tyrant who invades sovereign countries and poisons British people on British soil
Whatever next?
The 3 worst things ever to happen to the UK in its history.
1. Thatcher - privatisation.
2. Cameron and Osborne - austerity.
3. The clown Johnson and his hard Brexit.
There you have it - 3 Tory extirpations and essentially extinctions of UK society - nothing more to be said.

Oldest trick in the book:
1 Proclaim some minority or other is invading/attacking/replacing "us" & causing the problems "our" nation faces

3 Get your flags out
4 Get votes.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.
Two days a go people were hurling abuse at me for suggesting this very scenario. A dirty backroom deal is about to happen. It truly is a new world order and it's as predictable as it is chilling.
