@mattletiss7 It’s crap. I’m largely disinterested in the groups, as all it’s going to do is get rid of the teams that shouldn’t have been in the finals in the first place.
The world cup effectively starts next week.
@ActivePatriotUK Poor policing, but I have zero sympathy for the girls. Behave like that to the police and you deserve to be forcefully dealt with, whoever you are.
It genuinely amused me that people think replacing Starmer will make things better.
From Boris Johnson's election onwards, we've been shuffling the bollards on the Titanic.
You have to actually change direction if you want to avoid crashing into the iceberg:
- End Net Zero
- Make business viable again
- Get welfare under control
- Fund defence
- Ensure equality under the law
- Arrest criminals and keep them in jail
- Deport illegal immigrants and close the border
- Bring the civil service to heel
Burnham will become as unpopular as Starmer within months since he isn't going to do any of that.
@kelvmackenzie Stop trying to make a difficult process even more difficult, as it will lead to less adoptions - which is a bad thing.
Preston died because of evil men and incompetent people in authority, who ignored all of the warnings.
The process isn’t the problem. People are!
@sfjlobe_8 I go to watch women and girls football multiple times a week, and my daughter plays at a good level. So you guess wrong
So I support womens football, but I also know what level it is compared to men. You appear not to, or are being deliberately ignorant. 🤔
@sophielouisecc I won’t listen to her after she said Cape Verde’s draw was “a victory for immigration”. She can stick her woke politics up her arse.
To add, DEI is discrimination and we resent lower level footballers and managers being put on our screens primarily because they are women.
Lara Logan just broke down a pattern that hits different once you see it.
They keep creating problems that can never actually be solved: racism that’s “unconscious,” masculinity as inherently toxic, CO2 as the enemy even though we breathe it out, and differences turned into permanent grievances.
The goal? Issues without end. Skin color can’t change. Breathing can’t stop. Masculine instinct doesn’t vanish. So the problems stay… and so does the control.
It’s not about fixing anything. It’s about keeping the fight alive so we stay divided and easier to manage.
Once you spot the tactic, everything gets clearer.
What “unsolvable problem” have you noticed getting pushed the hardest lately?
@Artemisfornow I can speak of personal experience, and the truth is that too many social workers are incompetent and not equipped to make good decisions.
And as you point out when they badly mess up, they face no consequences. 🤨
@AllisonPearson@Bants15481 The epidemic of mental health problems is primarily down to parenting and how our culture has changed.
Kids are overprotected and over-controlled, and taught to be fearful of hurty words, the climate, etc.
And then they can’t cope when exposed to the real world.
Here’s the problem. The liberal political class wants us to treat atrocities like Belfast as single, random, isolated incidents. “Yes, it’s horrific, but don’t overreact,” they say. “Let the police do their job. Justice will be delivered. Let’s remain united,” and so on.
But the public can see that such incidents *aren’t* random or isolated. They are, in fact, all the consequence of massive state failure in the area of asylum and immigration. All roads lead back there.
That’s why people are angry.. They are sick of the platitudes that get trotted out after each fresh incident. They don’t want to hear them anymore. They know that the decisions of establishment politicians have brought us to this current pass, and they don’t trust those same politicians to fix things, especially when some of them refuse to even recognise that the public’s anger is justified.
There has been a huge vibe shift in recent years. Imagine - God forbid - there were another 7/7. Does anyone think the public response would be anything like as restrained as it was then? We are in really dangerous territory.
The public don’t want flowers and candles and “Don’t let them divide us.” They want someone who says, “I recognise that the state has failed abjectly. We have allowed far too many people to settle in the country without knowing who they truly are. It has disrupted your communities. Your anger is justified. And I will do everything in my power to put things right.”
Any politician unwilling to articulate that message, fully and sincerely, is effectively sanctioning more years of growing social disharmony and discord. Things cannot heal until those in power recognise the extent of the problem and what it will take to fix it. And, on both counts, most of them don’t.
That’s why the next few years are going to be very, very turbulent.
The core part of the Henry Nowak murder (the part we must not forget and must seriously engage with) is that his killer and family instinctively thought to fabricate a racism narrative because they knew it would give them an immediate advantage and invert the roles at the scene. And it worked exactly as calculated.
It has struck a raw nerve because it makes visible in the most repulsive way imaginable what many have long sensed, that accusations of racism have become a powerful, paralysing force in modern Britain eventually leading to a dying boy being sidelined while the system instinctively prioritised accusations of racism.
We really have reached Soviet levels of gaslighting.
A man is murdered, and somehow, the real problem is that people are angry about it.
Children are gang raped, and somehow the real problem is that people keep mentioning it and “dividing communities.”
This is moral inversion.
No. Crime divides communities. Institutional failure divides communities. Cover-ups, euphemisms, cowardice, and elite contempt divide communities.
@Conservatives@KemiBadenoch A good response overall from Kemi, but don’t criticise Farage or anybody else for stoking that anger.
It’s the lack of anger that has allowed anti white racism to run riot through British institutions. Polite discourse has failed, and continues to fail.
Here are two other UK power records:
1. Highest industrial energy costs in the world.
2. Second highest domestic energy costs in the world.
As E Miliband says, we’re setting an example for the rest of the world. Indeed we are. Which is why nobody is following us.
