  1. We laugh at Russia for arresting people holding up paper. Something is very wrong with Britain.
    440
  2. The lack of generational change is the worst thing. The world is run by deluded geriatrics, from China, the UN, India, Iran, Russia to the US. Old men all.
    163
  3. Yes, I thought of that quote, too. This post truth age is rather irritating.
    134
  4. Respect to Carol. She's got a heart and is grounded.
    106
  5. We need to forget the USA, and build a European army together.
    72
  6. Ferrari's part of the problem, going on about immigration all the time. Talk about job creation or something.
    71
  7. I wouldn't waste my time. Macron and Merz are meeting in Paris. We should join the grown-ups.
    70
  8. His demonisation of people seeking asylum, and nauseating attitude to the most vulnerable elements in our society like the homeless and disabled should cure you.
    48
  9. He made English the official language. Surprised it wasn't Russian.
    44
  10. Biden won't go. Leaders have this nasty habit of regarding themselves as indispensible.
    37
  11. His wife is encouraging him to continue, and, like some leaders, he has convinced himself, that he is indispensible.
    34
  12. Have you ever considered the possibility that the consequences are desired.
    34
  13. Improving public services and addresing the housing crisis will stop reform. People will be comfortable with immigration if they see that things are improving.
    33
  14. Or on 163,000 k+ a year.
    32
  15. Stigmatising people is always bad. Towards a more tolerant inclusive Britain.
    24
  16. He finds reality hard to accept.
    21
  17. ​ @petertheboomscott2104 he ran the crown prosecution service, and he got there on merit. He's from a modest background.
    20
  18. You couldn't make it up.
    19
  19. Absolutely, his mocking laugh was repulsive. It said everything about his soul.
    18
  20. The heritage guy says exactly what Putin says in every way, on every subject. It's pretty clear what Ukranians are fighting for.
    17
  21. Sailing on a ship of fools.
    17
  22. He snubbed the USA too. It was at Omaha beach.
    15
  23. The gammon won't like this.
    15
  24. ​ @SuperJinxter It's okay if Ferrari doesn't do both interviews. One each would have been fair.
    15
  25. The Workers Party of Britain might be interested to know that trade unions are effectively banned in Russia.
    15
  26. She never challenged the result. She conceded on election night.
    14
  27. Tories are history. Nobody under 40 votes for them.
    14
  28. ​ @johnpreston7231 a lot of fascists out there.
    14
  29. They think, that they are the experts because they listen to a few bloggers.
    13
  30. The national debt was 65% of GDP in 2010. Today it's 100%.
    13
  31. Rayner was independently investigated. That you do not like the result of that is not Angela's problem.
    12
  32. This is the age of hyperbole and clickbait. Moderate opinion is drowning in it.
    12
  33. I'm 57, and senility hasn't hit yet. Not voting Tory nor Reform of course.
    12
  34. As fascism disappears from popular memory, it becomes more alluring.
    11
  35. It's why Sunak lost to Truss.
    11
  36. Parkinsons. Clinging onto tables is not usual human behaviour.
    11
  37. Have you ever heard of the Roman, Mongol, Macednian, Egyptian, Ottoman, Persian, Byzantine, Russian, German, French, Spanish,Dutch, Belgian, Swedish, Portuguese, and Danish empires? More than two, and plenty of genocidal behaviour in there.
    11

    10

    10

    10
  42. Blame mendacious politicians and media outlets, who have been fanning the flames for decades.
    9
  43. It's better to keep away from it. It makes people weird.
    9
  44. It is pretty offensive.
    9
  45. Deference and submission are in their blood. Depressed.
    9
  46. A new public school political correspondent.🤔
    9
  47. It shouldn't matter. She hasn't committed a crime, unlike Trump.
    9
  48. The end of voting along class lines has revealed the kind of people we are, people who lack any empathy and respect for anyone unlike ourselves. A very intolerant and divided society.
    9
  49. That attracted a lot of bots. You must have touched a nerve.
    8
  50. ​ @soccer21928 The US spends 2, 75%. Poland, for instance, spends 4%. A handful of countries pay less than 2%. Shoukd Poland complain about others not spending 4%?
    8
  51. Dale hated the brexit connection.
    8
  52. It's called a sense of entitlement.
    8
  53. Complete security for 2% of GDP is a bargain in this world.
    8
  54. The members won't like the choice very much😮
    8
  55. Nice one Ivan. English people use the verb to be.
    8
  56. And it wasn't the dog.
    8
  57. I wouldn't be at all ashamed of supporting John McCain or Mitt Romney. They were gentlemen of character btw. I'm a democrat voter.
    8
  58. I can welcome them. If you want to be rude, that's your choice.
    7
  59. Would he pass the citizenship test?
    7
  60.  @dolmen6613  I lived in Germany for 15 years. It was a very well functioning society. Which Europe are you talking about?

    7
  62. The banality of evil personified.
    7
  63. Fantastic journalist.
    7
  64. Green energy creates jobs. Tyce needs to visit Pittsburg someday.
    7
  65.  @jdavies1296  if he is intelligent, why does he believe in trickledown , although it has been debunked by IMF studies amongst others. What literature did he read?
    7
  66. The EU is the scapegoat for Britain's nonimperial status, amongst those who miss the British empire.
    7
  67. Like fascism, ypu mean?
    7
  68.  Laura UK   Democrats respect the democratic institutions, they don't ignore elected regional leaders. They don't lie because democracy relies on reliable information and informed discussion
    7
  69.  @wyrmie84  pr, elected second chamber, abolish monarchy, decentralise power, ban lobbying. More democracy in the workplace wouldn't hurt either. The class system hurts us a lot.
    7
  70. Delusions of grandeur here.
    6
  71. It's sickening to think that 14,000,000 people buy into their hate speech.
    6
  72. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The Dems will lose if he stays on. Biden has to put the party and country first.
    6
  73. He's their man.
    6
  74. It's hard to let go of the reins of power once you have them. Biden's tragic flaw.
    6
  75. They chose it. They're fools, but it wasn't forced on them.
    6
  76. Join Bluesky instead. It's like twitter.
    6
  77. He will anyway. Brexit taught them they can lie with impunity.
    6
  78. He didn't, and he didn't have the power to make such a decision.
    6
  79. He did a bit of canassing in Belgravia, and a photo op in Henley.
    6
  80.  @AB-zl4nh  he is a tory, but not all tories are bad people. He probably grew up in a tory environment, but kept his basic decency.
    6
  81.  @bereal6590  lab win, pr, end of the extremist stuff hopefully.
    6
  82. I don't recall her talking about Bush's trickledown failure.
    6
  83. They will aways exist; the class system depends on them.
    5
  84. Please vote for someone with a spine who will stand against this, rather than seeking pragmatic trade relations with dictators.
    5
  85. I wouldn't have done it. Johnson avoided Andrew Neill.
    5
  86.  @williamdew7143  theyre in the Tory party.
    5
  87. ​ Tom-tz2jz you'll find out when he privatises health care and you can't afford to see a doctor.
    5
  88. ​ @rb1062 you were lucky enough to miss the 80s then.
    5
  89. Starmer's confident now. He can handle these people, which makes him look more priministerial. And as the polls get closer, it will start dawning on them that he's going to be the boss.
    5
  90. ​@HamishM22both, they joined the war in June 40 on the German side, and changed sides in October 1943.
    5
  91. 45 million Ukranians will notice.
    5
  92. Yeah, question time's gone downhill. I don't watch it anymore.

    4
  94. He's a child of apartheid.
    4
  95.  @iberian5319  keep digging.
    4
  96. ​ @Torch4ya explain the logic of that statement
    4
  97. Donald fixed it! badges all round.
    4
  98. This is the man who wants to privatise the NHS, talking about representing the poor.
    4
  99. Nah, Oswald Moseley isn't to my taste
    4
  100. It's called being stateswomanlike, and showing some dignity.
    4
  101.  @nathanfurnival8724  are you at primary school?
    4
  102. You know them all do you?
    4
  103. It's not incompetence. It is a deliberate policy with known consequences. Unfortunately, as James said, many millions of people think this party serves their interests, when it actually doesn't.
    4
  104.  @armandobarbers3827  I'm not sure brexiteers get out much.
    4
  105. Not only young people were hurt, but thank you for having the honesty to admit the failure of the Brexit policy.
    4
  106. Nice one Wales❤
    4
  107. You should listen to the russian ambassador.

  108. You seem to like this channel, and yet you watch.
    4
  109. Are these guys KGB plants?
    4
  110. It's not a bear, rather a rabid dog. Angry and insane.
    4
  111. Taxes did rise, they were duped, and they gave em 14 years.
    4
  112. Londongrad on Thames.
    4
  113. Afrikaaners are known for that.
    4
  114. ​@TheOutsider840 did he ask rhys mogg for evidence, nope. Browser is a giant compared to rhys mogg.
    4
  115. Where is Lettuce???
    4
  116. The Middle east conflict doesn't affect working class people. Trade union rights etc. do.
    4
  117. He needs reading glasses, but tough guys don't wear 'em.
    4
  118. I would say that annexing someone else's territories for their human, agricultural and mineral resources is 100% wrong personallly. And I said it in an academic way. The reality is sheer horror.
    4
  119. ​ @Jamie-uk2zh which is your small town?
    4
  120. Can't we just rejoin. They are all we have left.
    4
  121. Wise???
    4
  122. @Heather Moore they caused brexit. It was their policy.
    4
  123. They literally erected a gallows on the Capitol to lynch their own vice-president.
    4
  124.  @fundyden4771  if you can't beat the message, attack the messenger. O'brien would dismantle everything you believe in in 5 minutes
    4
  125. Don't get your hopes up.
    4
  126. ​ @bxxmb80 There's a big troll farm in St. Petersburg. The guy who's aircraft was brought down after the coup opened it.

    3
  128. Do you know the average life expectancy in the UK?
    3
  129. The brown ones you mean?
    3
  130. He should bring the civil service letter. And read it to the camera slowly, and repeatedly.
    3
  131. ​ @MaMaOurs you didn't. We even left the cutoms union. Even non EU counteies are in that. You got total dislocatuon of trade, hurrah!
    3
  132. Gavin Newsom can't be her running mate, as they both represent the same state.
    3
  133. 71. Not long left.
    3
  134. ​ @igame6823 no it isn't, all countries have licencing rights over weapon components. We have to ask France as well.
    3
  135. Super busy bots today.

    3
  137. You answered it.
    3
  138.  @dolmen6613  they take more in. I guess you know that, right?
    3
  139. Not one single major party in Ukraine stood on an anti-EU platform. They all advocated close co-operation with the EU, both in 2014 and 2019. The idea that the majority of Russian speakers in Ukraine want to be part of the Russian Federation is a lie.
    3
  140. It is indeed mind-boggling, and there is only a leaderless Europe left to stop it.
    3
  141. Not another Tory councillor.
    3
  142. No, but it will be a gradual process. I can see a Norway arrangement inside 15 years.
    3
  143. You disagree that Russia is expansionist. It's very big for a country which doesn't like to expand.
    3
  144. Why? We did migrate. We called it bringing christianity.
    3
  145. The man down the pub has many faces.
    3
  146.  @heliotropezzz333  true. Its easier to be right-wing. You just point your finger at people rather than considering the underlying causes.
    3
  147. Impotence. Compensatory behaviour.
    3
  148. It's the pent up rage in the guy that gets you wondering what caused that in him.
    3
  149. Once the government has the power to define extremism, and to then punish it, democracy is well and truly dead. The tory Party are just a bunch of old people who hate everyone because they are, well, old and embittered.
    3
  150.  @Straightedgefish  they like to see themselves as winners, and see the tories as the party of the said. Thd truth is too painful to accept.
    3
  151.  @resistancefighter9009  I think you will find that Ireland likes eu membership.
    3
  152. The Workers party guy went from talking about talking about having solidarity with eastern Europeans to saying, why should we send troops to defend other people.
    3
  153. And the fishermen lost too. Tell them that. They will be delighted to hear your wisdom.
    3
  154. If we weren't sovereign, we could not have left the EU. It is precisely the power to determine such matters which makes a nation a sovereign legal entity. It's not rocket science. The ability to choose demonstrates we always had it.
    3
  155. ​ @BrockSamson-i1i the research says yes.
    3
  156. The EU was too modest.
    3
  157. Wannabe Tory party candidate for Tonbridge Wells is back pretending to be a neutral public service broadcater.
    3
  158. ​ @Stabe1981 she doesn't. She's the equivalent of the head of the civil service, but whatever.
    3
  159. James is cool.
    3
  160. I cling onto the fact I'm a quarter Norwegian to keep any self respect.
    3
  161. The border poll can't come soon enough.
    3
  162. On Putin's birthday in fact.
    3
  163. Your first comment in 5 years🤔
    3
  164. Ferrari is an Enoch Powell fan. Squirming when faced with a normal human being.
    3
  165. Double down he will.
    3
  166. It doesn't work without enablers. Thecheadlines shoukd be. Liar!
    3
  167. ​ @Isclachau tell me a lie starmer told last night.
    3
  168.  @socillizt4life  slavery has gone, and press gangs.
    3
  169. You don't know many British people.
    3
  170. So Ireland and Norway are islamist states?
    3
  171. ​@jeffsimon9594nothing wrong with shandy.
    3
  172. You're on the wrong website Ivan.
    3
  173. Yeah, the extremes are pretty deranged.
    3
  174. Brexit, like russian nostalgia for the soviet empire, is generational. A new generation of Britons will return to the European family,
    3
  175. The gag is, that Trump's tax policy favored the billionaires.
    3
  176. Why would a career spent betting against the pound etc. prepare you well for running state public services.
    3
  177. Which ones? Liberalism and the enlightenment come from Britain.
    3
  178. As he admires apartheid, it's not really surprising.
    3
  179. ​ @robertmaslin3844 HQ told the Labour candidate to campaign elsewhere. They're teying to stop Farage by giving the Tories a free run.
    3
  180. It's called being bought up to have manners.
    3
  181. Populism means offering one policy to solve the problems. An example is Brexit. Another example is to stop immigration. Populism has to create enemies to function. That's why people like Farage make it all sound so easy, but it doesn't work of course. It just makes matters worse.
    3
  182. I think you're prejudiced. Americans don't think they are inherently better, they do think thst they need to be ahead of the game. Nor are they forced to love their country, because how can you force people to love a construct which means different things to different people.
    3
  183.  @SouthwesternEagle  just ignore. Its one of our prejudiced conservatives. They hate everyone. It's what makes them tick.
    3
  184. No fascism please. It's not very British.
    3
  185. Just like in the EU negotiations😂😂😂
    3
  186. Richi was keener to leave the beach than the Germans, and they were under naval bombardment and being attacked bu 150,000 assault troops.
    3
  187. We've turned into a nation of Enoch Powells😂😂
    3
  188.  @pocolol8424  I had the same experience. I feel depressed by people who deny human agency. Like most people in the UK there's a bit of the humanist in me, and I'm not comfortable with the idea that people are just the playthings of invisible forces. Generations before us fought bravely for the rights we have, and it denies their sacrifice.
    3
  189. It's getting harder to stay away. Will probably work on Vietnam, just to stay away. I really don't want to live in the same country as modern British tories.
    3
  190. @renideo people are given responsibility in democracies, it is in dictatorships that they can only blame others because they can't affect anything
    3
  191. Success attracts people. I would be more worried if nobody wanted to come here.
    3
  192.  @vinny6967  saying you don't believe in monarchy is.
    3
  193. You csn do what you want with a working majority. You need a 30 seat majority.
    3
  194. Wants to pull up the drawbridge.
    3
  195. So disgenuous. Many wars are won and lost away from the battlefield. Russia is highly susceptible to change in oil prices, and the US can do a lot there.
    3
  196. Sunak does not mix.
    3
  197. I hope so. But will the media call him out?
    2
  198.  @britnatzaredemocracydenier5922  we defeated the USA once, but I wouldn't expect you to know about that. We defeated you too.
    2
  199.  @ClannCholmain  it won.
    2
  200.  @parametr  do you know stalin? That guy said that without American machines the ussr would have been defeated by Germany. But what did he know that you don't?
    2
  201.  @duncanbain3786  russia didn't join the alliance, it was stabbed in the back by its ally.
    2
  202. But Caesar is not an honest man.
    2
  203. He's a conspiracy theorist type. A victim of social media.
    2
  204. And plenty of disillusioned Brexit voters.
    2
  205. Madness to stop fascism, not in 1939, and not now.
    2
  206. ​ @pjhgerlach The weapons use American components.
    2
  207. Suggesting a conspiracy.
    2
  208. Just as his economy was on the verge of collapse. How considerate the USA is.
    2
  209. They are probably orangemen. Who else would care that much?
    2
  210. Nuclear blackmail cannot be allowed to work. It will never stop.
    2
  211. Hi! You must be very pleased you had the American Revolution at this moment in time, even the old loyalist HQ, New York.
    2
  212. Zero likes, oh well.
    2
  213. Houses were far cheaper back in the day.
    2
  214. Maybe he wants the Tories to collapse leaving a far right party asxa main opposition party.
    2
  215. We've got a grand total of 144 tanks. Spain has 540. We're not spending much.
    2
  216. 1 in 3 did.
    2
  217. Probably had to agree to not ask certain questions to gain access.
    2
  218. The problems with public schools.
    2
  219. Facts are being drowned out by fake outrage for political power.
    2
  220. ​ @moonshine9902 Kier was decent enough to honour the D-Day sacrifice in a statesmanlike way, not run off. Maybe Sunak's green card was running out.
    2
  221.  @pjwhitlock4198  the vagueness is the dangerous thing.
    2
  222.  @johnatkinson7126  bismarck introduced social reforms, and Disraeli was also a reformer, but not because they believed in it, but to limit social change.
    2
  223.  @eightiesmusic1984  the working classes abandoned Labour, and voted for thatcher. 25 percent of them in reality, which was enough to give her power.
    2
  224. He was a teacher??
    2
  225. That's the elephant in the room.Lots of casual rascism out there.
    2
  226. Musk's personal wealth is the same as the Italian government's annual budget, the world's 8th largest economy.
    2
  227. Probably he would.
    2
  228. Well said!
    2
  229. Let me guess, RT.
    2
  230. His first language is Afrikaans.
    2
  231. ​ @Varley-k1n he's part of the problem.
    2
  232. Provocation is not an excuse for invading a sovereign state. It's BS anyway. Eastern Europe doesn't want anything to be under Russian control. It provides them neither security nor prosperity.
    2
  233. Are you scared of little Ukraine? We're not.
    2
  234. And they see poverty as a moral choice, which is actually quite perverse.
    2
  235. ​ @shedhead400 birds move from one place to another when summer and winter end. Blame the democrat bird moving Goddess.
    2
  236. Starmer shouldn't have done a head to head. It was bound to be like thst. Sunak's desperate and will say anything.
    2
  237.  @carlsummers2316  you must love Liz Truss. She likes cheap insults too.
    2
  238. There is one conspiracy theory they don't like mentioning; that Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987.
    2
  239. The education system and media let us down.
    2
  240. Energy prices have risen 4 percent in France. Can any tory voter please explain this? Anyone of the 14,000,000 who did that.

  241.  @fifiadan  another prejudice working well. Labour's basic reason for existing is to make living in a capitalist society a bit easier for working people. This is why it believes in funding health and education properly, does not agree that austerity is necessary, I mean, only Britain did that to its citizens after the financial crisis, everyone else increased spending, labour is very mainstream in fact, unlike the tories who are so far right they can actually be regarded as fascistic with their demonising of powerless out groups and all that global Britain nonsense.

  285. It's the word "provoked". I heard Putin use it to justify Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939. The provocation was, in Putin's words, that Poland refused to cede territory to Germany.

They don't have an empire, Russia is an empire. And so he regards neither Ukraine nor Ukranians as having their own identity, and he calls their language a Russian dialect, and them "little Russians".

    1
  576. Well; even saying "the west" is buying Putin's propaganda. We use it to identify countries with western institutions, which included Russia till recently.
