Imagínate lo horrible que tienes que ser como ser humano para votar en contra de que se investigue la violación masiva de niñas.
Ese es el Partido Laborista 🇬🇧
Preguntad en vuestro entorno, fuera de Twitter, a ver cuánta gente sabe que en Reino Unido había una organización de musulmanes violando niñas durante décadas con la complicidad del Gobierno británico.
Two small island economies blew up in 2008. Iceland and Ireland. Their names differ by one letter, and their handling of the crisis differed by everything that matters.
Iceland's three big banks, Kaupthing, Landsbanki, and Glitnir, had grown assets to roughly ten times the country's GDP by 2008. Pure credit-fueled madness. When the music stopped, the Icelandic government did the unthinkable: it let them fail. Bondholders ate the losses. The state refused to socialize private bank debt onto 320,000 citizens who never signed up for it. Capital controls went up, the króna collapsed, and the politicians actually prosecuted bankers. Twenty-six of them went to prison. Sigurður Einarsson and Hreiðar Már Sigurðsson, the men who ran Kaupthing, served real sentences.
Ireland took the opposite road. In September 2008, the Irish government issued a blanket guarantee covering the liabilities of its major banks, including Anglo Irish Bank, a property-lending casino that should have been allowed to die in peace. The taxpayer absorbed the bill. By the time the rescue ended, Ireland had poured around 64 billion euros into its banks, roughly 40 percent of GDP. The state took on private gambling debts, then went to the Troika in 2010 hat in hand for an 85 billion euro bailout, and accepted years of austerity to pay for losses it had no business owning.
Both economies recovered. Both eventually grew again. The difference is who paid and who learned. Iceland made creditors and reckless bankers bear the consequences of their own decisions, which is the entire point of capitalism: profit and loss, not profit and bailout. Ireland protected the people who made the bad bets and handed the invoice to schoolteachers and shopkeepers.
You will hear economists call Ireland's GDP rebound a triumph (much of that "growth" is multinational accounting fiction, Leprechaun economics, but that's another lesson). What they skip is the moral architecture. When you guarantee bank liabilities, you abolish the discipline that makes markets work. You tell every banker in the country that downside is optional.
Iceland jailed its bankers. Ireland reimbursed theirs.
11, 12, and 14 years old.
Raped for days by more than 20 Pakistani immigrants.
Tortured—one had her tongue nailed to the wall to keep her still while they raped her.
The police ridiculed, insulted, and ignored them.
The feminists turned the other way.
If it hadn't been for Elon Musk, who publicly shared the trial testimonies, sparking outrage from Reform UK and internal investigations, no one would have known anything.
You're not angry enough.

Her name is Luana Zaratti, an Italian bus ticket inspector.
She was 26 when, during one of her shifts, she asked an illegal Egyptian immigrant for his ticket.
He had none. His answer was a violent headbutt straight to her face, so hard it shattered her nasal septum and caused severe head trauma.
Luana collapsed to the ground, blood pouring from her nose.
That single blow destroyed her life.
It left her with permanent brain damage and lifelong disability.
Years bedridden, almost vegetative.
But her willpower pulled her back to a shadow of the life she once had.
The attacker was sentenced to just 14 months in prison, but he never served a single day. He disappeared.
Luana, declared unfit to work, now survives on less than €1,000 a month.
President of @vox_es@Santi_ABASCAL calls out the socialist government:
"Nothing works. Not the roads, trains, hospitals, or education..
..But what works perfectly is the Ministry of Finance that one never fails!"
Only VOX can save Spain.
@PabloH_A@GarethDennis You are allowed to be Self Thinker or Critical Thinker and forget about the hate the have embedded in you and be able to truly see the situation for what it actually is
@PabloH_A@GarethDennis Looking after the tracks
But forget now about the private companies. We know already. Same money spent in the tracks in the past 5 years but the use of them has increased by 5 times
That means if 100 trains were using a route before in a week, now is 500 trains
@PabloH_A@GarethDennis Do you understand companies linked to the State did reparations with shitty materials right? Dont you think a true clean competition to gain a contract of Top companies is better for Spanish citizens rather than companies picked by them? It is healthy having private companies
What utter rot that undermines any investigation. The Adamuz crash has a clear and predictable mechanism, triggered with very high likelihood by a broken rail at a weld. This failure can ONLY be because of inadequate inspection and maintenance.

This is the same Country that jailed a teacher for “misgendering” a student earlier this week.
