I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,939

Its ridiculous

It would be more understandable in a way , if this Labour government was rabidly left wing and ultra socialist - but it's not!

Not even close

In fact I keep seeing people dismissing them a "just red Tories"

This amount of unadulterated venom and bile aimed at a government that has been in power for mere months is ludicrous

And of course the rabidly right wing newspapers in this country are always absolutely appalled at the very notion this country would even dare to vote for anybody other than the conservatives

Your claim that Trump isn't massively pro-Putin has been the biggest joke of all.
Everyone else has been perfectly sensible.

Don't bite , some contributors only angle is on a par with the kid in school who use to eat worms to get noticed .

"Following Elon Musk's open support for the AfD, Tesla sales in Germany were down 76% (SEVENTY SIX PERCENT) in February, compared with a year earlier "

In other words - screw you, you creepy weird, nazi scum bag

"empathy is the fundamental weakness of Western civilization

As long as you are happy with all the dead young Ukrainian men to come, keep on with the pompous stance.
They're not your relatives after all, are they?
There comes a time to settle things and lick your wounds.

How can you really support Putin's aggression?

Our relatives can worry about this, thanks to Trump's reckless actions:

"If war is what the US wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we're ready to fight till the end," China's embassy said.

Hope he doesn't call JD a f**king bitch again and mess it up.

He did no such thing.

I heard the Russians were coming first in 1976.
A friend who was in the army told me it was imminent.

Would your friend be in the same army that JD Vance mocked despite those that fell while fighting as allies ? Asking for a dead Royal Marine Commando that had stood in my home on many occasions and who was killed in Iraq.

That Mike Johnson is a gutless little turd too

A Christian?! Don't make me laugh

And you being a shining example and all.

I believe the pro-Trump talking point is that the war must be stopped in order to save lives, correct? Well, the United States just stopped feeding Ukraine with intelligence, and that intelligence includes data that Ukraine uses to warn its citizens of impending Russian missile attacks. Putin will be emboldened to attack Ukraine with even greater deadly effect on its innocent civilians. Way to go, Team Trump.

The UK and all of Europe should be sharing ZERO intelligence with the United States, until that crook is out of office

We can't trust him one inch - end of

Not only is he corrupt and wouldn't bat an eyelid before handing it over to the Russians, he's also an incompetent senile moron who stashed boxes of top secret classified documents in the rooms of his tacky house in Florida where any Tom, Dick or Harry could steal it and sell it to our enemies

As far as security we need to treat your country the same way we treat Iran, Notth Korea, China and Russia

Which is a ludicrous and sad state of affairs

Hopefully one silver lining from all this from our perspective is that we will get back to being a closer partner of our real allies again - the Europeans

Like before imbeciles like Bojo the clown wrecked everything
