So Labour are the same as the Conservatives are they matey Really what have you been drinking And the Republicans are the same as the Democrats So your analysis suggest Trump is a modern day JFK ! You need a new playbook but try one with joined up writing ! What a Dumbarse post!
I wonder how many agree with me that our current system of so called ‘democracy’ does not work for the people it just works for a few self proclaimed ‘elites’. ?
The political leaders in our country and the parties they claim to represent are all bought and paid for by the same powerful vested interests , which mean whoever you vote for makes no difference when all the trains are heading for the same destination, some faster some slower. Our institutions are corrupted as are those of our brothers and sisters around the world.
It’s time for a radical change we need to move to a direct democracy system , where the real power lies with the people. Politicians have shown time and again that they can’t be trusted. Time for reform has passed, radical change is needed , perhaps a great reset but not the one the global elites had in mind.
Please repost if you agree.

Please note that this is not a minority view ! Its ust exactly how the majority of normal thinking people in Europe perceive the ultimate threat posed by MAGA.Let's unite in opposition The right wing extremist Coup carried out in Washington is straight out of Hitlers playbook!
BREAKING: German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius brutally shreds J.D. Vance for his utterly shameful speech attacking Europe at the Munich Security Conference: "This is unacceptable."
This is a historic takedown of an American vice president...
"We fight for your right to be against us, that is one of the mottos of the Bundeswehr and it stands for our democracy, this democracy that was just called into question by the U.S. Vice President — and not just the German democracy but Europe as a whole," said Pistorius.
In a vile MAGA-coded speech, Vance attacked our European allies for allegedly ignoring the will of their people and failing to curtail illegal migration. He ranted about abortion rights and religious freedom, and avoided talking about the security issues that the conference was designed to address.
It was part of a concerted effort by Trump, Musk, and the rest of the MAGA movement to export their fascism around the globe.
Pistorius didn't hold back in his rebuttal—
"He has spoke of the annulment of democracy and if I understood him correctly, he compares the condition of Europe to the condition that prevails in some authoritarian regimes," he said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not acceptable," he added, to a round of applause.
"This is not acceptable. This is not the Europe, not the democracy where I live and where I conduct my election campaign right now and this is not the democracy that I witness every day in our parliament," he continued.
"In our democracy, every opinion has a voice and it makes it possible for parties that are partly extremist such as the AFD and they can campaign just as any other parties. This is democracy," he said.
"And if the vice president had the opportunity to switch on his TV set when he arrived yesterday he would have seen one of those candidates in primetime TV," he went on.
"By the way, we even admit media that spread Russian propaganda and the representatives of the federal government answer their questions. Nobody is excluded," he said.
"But democracy does not mean that a vociferous minority will automatically be right and they cannot decide what truth is. It does not mean that anyone can say anything and democracy must be able to defend itself against extremists that try to destroy it," said Pistorius.
"I am happy to live in Europe where this democracy is defended every day against its internal and external enemies," he continued. "And therefore I would like to explicitly contradict and oppose the impression that Vice President Vance suggested here that our democracies oppress and silence minorities."
"We not only know against whom we defend our countries but what we defend it for. It's for democracy, for freedom of opinion, for the rule of law and the dignity of each and everyone, ladies and gentleman," he said.
Pistorius then switched to English to hammer home some final criticisms—
"Ladies and gentlemen, but unlike the vice president I would also like to focus my speech on the most pressing questions of European and Transatlantic security," he said.
"The last few days have confirmed what many have speculated for months. The United States are pushing for a quick peace settlement between Russia and Ukraine and they expect Europe to take the lead in securing any agreement that follows," he said.
This is what electing Donald Trump has done for America. We have alienated our allies, weakened our security, and made ourselves a laughingstock on the world stage.
Thankfully, world leaders are not afraid to stand up for the incompetent bullies working to destroy America.

@afneil stop acting like an economic stooge for the last Tory Govt .....that was failure writ large ! At least Reeves is not Liz Truss threatening to bring down the complete economy Or BJ who prologued parliament to end democracy Politics and Economics have Linkage Silly boy !
Rachel Reeves thinks she can create more headroom to spend more by fiddling the fiscal rules to allow her to borrow more.
She won’t be the first Chancellor to try that. But for her it will come at a cost.
She will have to pay more to borrow more. There’s already been a sharp rise in the UK’s long-term borrowing costs, with the 10-year gilt (bond) yield climbing from 3.75 per cent in mid-September to 4.21 per cent yesterday.
The gap between yields on UK gilts and German bunds has also reached its widest in more than a year.
Net interest payments on the national debt are already expected to cost £73.5 billion in 2024-25 (OBR). Way above the defence budget.
@campbellclaret It is quite possible Alistair that GB residents don't have an appreciation of the significance of the debates The Nixon v JFK debate clinched it for Jack ! Also Trump supporters usually lack finesse ! And any intelligence !!! Keep up the good work 👏
The first debate saw the end of Biden’s campaign. Feels like the second one may have sunk Trump’s. His performance even worse in the cold light of day.
I had a typical lawyers discussion with an Accountant yday and said the displacement of the Native Americans in The USA demonstrated how the West was Won and posited that economic success was a classic e.g of the need for immigration He replied what about Brexit.I said exactly !
PPS - there may of course be other reasons for strict migration control. But on the *specific* arg of "migration cannot be more than X per year to avoid diluting the capital stock" it doesn't seem tenable to argue X is fixed or independent of natural increase.
When Junior Doctors are on £16 an hour and MP's are on £46 an hour.
And raising the Junior Doctors pay by £4 an hour is unaffordable, even though they just raised MP's pay by £5 an hour.
It's hard not to see the lie.
RT if Junior Doctors NEED paying.
Something vaguely pleasing about the convuluations going on inside the Tory ranks ! More squirming please and still no mention of the mistakes made How Ironic next up the old chestnut Labour wouldn't have done any better Well matey they couldn't have done any worse !

Remember Boris took only 6 months to turn things around as a new Leader - from only 9% in June 2019 to winning 80 seat majority in December 2019. Can be done if you get right leader and right policies in place. This is all about getting back our own Conservative voters who are on strike just now.

Still going on with the lacklustre 3 times loser Cameron ....the Tories answer to a tailors dummy ! Joining the May pole to make the three unwise monkeys !
In just 20 trips as Foreign Secretary Liz Truss used £1.8m, £90,000 per trip.
Because she used this 350 seater jet as her ‘private plane’.
Like if the she needs to pay it back.
RT if the lettuce needs to go to jail.
Discovery and inspection of documents is an important part of the Civil Litigation process in GB and US it reveals the evidence that is used at trial. But Prince Andrews torment surely is hyperbole only !
He was a m8 twas common knowledge
Guilty by association maybs..of what?
Prince Andrew is said to be "totally tormented" by the prospect of his name being included in a list of 170 of Jeffrey Epstein's associates that's about to be made public. https://t.co/4d7hTdSIVo

MT agree to reduce waiting lists by working overtime
Stipulate income must be untaxed
LT increase no of Doctors
Vote Lab not Tory!
@Phillip98337265 Thanks you Phillip - I hope you are on the mend.
Agree the waiting list is a scandal, and sorry you waited so long. Waiting lists are entirely a political choice, and fixing pay / retention is crucial to it.
