@claire_adams694@mask1 I wonder if there's going to protests about this, probably not if she is Pakistani. Unbelievable, how some people are treated differently because they have a different religion or skin colour, to cause protest. We are all united as humans, no divisions. It just leads to hatred.
@Nigel_Farage Because he's a WEF puppet like every other Prime Minister we've had, puppets need scripts, and don't speak from the heart for what they believe in.
@Nigel_Farage Have just voted Reform. Fed up of this two party system full of liars, warmongers, hypocrites and broken promises. Enjoyed using my pen to put the X in the Reform box, one uppercut to the nose of the establishment.

@BritAbroad66@BOTE1414@therealmissjo@chalky237 But it may be different for you from an outside perspective, as you don't look Asian with brown skin. I have Hungarian friends in the UK and they are lovely people. Maybe my brother visited a part of Hungary which is racist.
@BOTE1414@therealmissjo@chalky237 My brother went to have a hungary and experienced racism. When on the bus he was told to get up off his seat by the conductor so that a white person could take his seat.
@bbcquestiontime@Nigel_Farage We live in a democracy, so I welcome Nigel Farage coming on to represent Reform UK. They are third place after the establishment parties in the opinion polls, so there is a large number of the British people who should be able to hear what they have to say. Even beating Lib Dems.
@EnterThePug@picard_ricard@CBoneuvre@Nigel_Farage The world made technological advances with funding on the back of colonialism. Many Asian and African countries were exploited for their resources. The money was used to accelerate the industrial revolution. Agree it's not only the British, it is more nuanced.
@picard_ricard@CBoneuvre@Nigel_Farage The railways were just used for the purpose of moving goods from one area to another for trade purposes for the British. Not for the people of India. India had over 30% of the world's GDP before Britain invaded, when the British left they had single digit GDP. Britain raped India
@UjuAnya They'd have to fabricate some humanitarian reasons for the invasion first, perhaps that they're trying to protect the local citizens from heart attacks or something along those lines.
@PapaJohnsUK I'm not holding my breath. I said the same thing in 2014 and also in 2019 and got the same response then papa johns took the pizza off the menu. Do they only sell tandoori spice every 5 years? Make it permanent on the menu!
@walkers_crisps bought this six pack of sensations 150g size from Costco, and there were only 5 packs in there. There were 3 Thai sweet chilli and two roast chicken packs. I thought I was getting a bargain by buying in bulk, but not so when I opened the box.
A WAR OF LIES
The war in Ukraine is based on lies — lies about how it started, how it’s going, and how it will end.
We are told that Ukraine is winning when in fact it is losing. We are told that the war makes NATO stronger when in fact it is depleting it. We are told that Ukraine’s biggest problem is a lack of funds from the U.S. Congress when in fact the West can’t produce enough ammunition — a problem that will take years to fix. We are told that Russia is suffering greater casualties when in fact Ukraine is running out of soldiers — another problem money can’t fix.
We are told that the world is with us when in fact the Global Majority believes U.S. policy is the height of folly. We are told that there is no opportunity to make peace when in fact we have rejected multiple opportunities for a negotiated settlement. We are told that if Ukraine keeps fighting, it will improve its negotiating position when in fact the terms will only get much worse than what was already available and rejected.
Nevertheless the lies will succeed in dragging out the war. Congress will appropriate more funds. Russia will take more territory. Ukraine will mobilize more young men and women to feed into the meat grinder. Discontent will mount. Eventually there will be a crisis in Kiev and the Zelensky government will be toppled.
And then, when the war is finally lost, when the whole country lays in smoldering ruins on a funeral pyre of their own making, the liars will say “well we tried.” Having prevented any alternative, having smeared anyone who told the truth as puppets for the enemy, the liars will say “We did our best. We stood up to Putin.”
In fact, they will claim, we would have succeeded but for the fifth column of Putin apologists who stabbed the Ukrainians in the back. Then, having shifted blame and patted themselves on the back, they will blithely move on to the next war, as they moved onto Ukraine after their disasters in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The lies are comprehensive — but they will work.
@HouseIntel@RepMikeTurner Sounds like they are trying to scare the members of the house of representatives into voting for giving US taxpayers dollars to the bottomless pit Ukraine.
