  1. What is so f...ing difficult about saying: Sorry. I was wrong.

  2. Maybe the King should warm up the Tower of London again. Accusation: Threatening his Commonwealth (Canada).

  3. I'm not willing to surrender the world to Elon Musk.

  4. "Healing" does not start by burying the Truth and decide not to talk about the problem. Any solution starts with the acknowledgement of the problems. Not talking about the problems and pretending everything is alright is preventing this and potentially leading to the repeating of everything.

  5. I love experts. Especially those who can explain complex things comprehensible in a short form.

  6. Here some actually facts Trump said or posted last week: - He wants everyone but America spend 5% of GDP not 2%. - He wants Americas own spending reduced from 3.4% (current) to half of that. Does this sounds like a reliable or even serious NATO partner?

  7. Hey Ali you not did your homeworks there. The guy asking about Zelenskyy's suit was the boyfriend of MTG he works for an ultra-right wing channel called real americas voice. And what Zelenskyy is wearing is military cloth to honor his tropps and and signal that his country is on war.

  8. Starmer can raise taxes - and he should - on those who have the money. The rich and superich. He should at least go back to pre-austerity levels.

  9. You just have to see Trump as a Mafia-Boss. Then it makes all sense. His cabinett. His foreign-policy. His domestic policy. His wish to be unaccountable and unchecked and unlimited. The wish to bribe and be bribed. The wish to be seen as a benefector/daddy. The wish to get tributes. The wish to be treated with respect (fear). And the bullying. His personality flaws are like a catalyst for all this.

  10. I think Starmer made a mistake yesterday saying Britain needs America. He practically signaled Trump he has leverage over Britain. This is a terrible thing to say to a narcissist because he will exploit it.

  11. Trump has the same problem most of the Brexiteers had: A simplyfied view of reality. They only saw the 17 bn costs and the 5.4 bn floating back and decided "we lose money there". Most of the benefits of EU membership were indirectly which cannot easily be seen, e.g. because of cost saving because of agencies the EU done for the UK, standards, controls, trade deals and negotiations etc. which made trade smoother and increases safety and investments. It's really hard to quantify this stuff. But now that it's gone you feel it and you begin to have to pay for this stuff yourself and suddenly you realize the 17 bn was a bargain.

  12. "The pigeon knocks over all the pieces, poops on the board and then flys away claiming that it's won." Perfect analogy for Trump. Thank you for the laught. It's rare these days.

  13. Since Trumps inauguration the US stockmarket lost 2000 points already. Not all at once but gradually because everytime Trump messes around with tariffs consumer and investment confidence is going down. The uncertainty makes every decission harder or impossible. And I would not be surprised if Trump keeps playing with this instrument. I would not even be surprised if Trump cancels the tariffs before april-2. He is like a little kid playing with a lightswitch.

  14. Tariffs as a political tool? Idiotic! This is like setting your own house on fire in order to extort concessions from your neighbour.

  15. It hurt and I felt pity and sadness through the whole segment. This is terrible ... we really need to fix that. Please someone help the caller deal with this 1st class cognitive dissonance!

  16. It's the same effect we see on climate change. The wish to pretend it doesn't exist because it is so overwhelmigly problematic.

  17. I've listened now to Brexiteers for months. Immigrants have often more decency, empathy and humility than most of them. I don't care about where someone is coming from but how they behave to me, to others, to society, if they work diligently or just waste time if they are friendly or rude, selfless or egoistic, criminal or lawful, caring or ignorant. UK's problems with work poverty and simple daily survival matters made them protective of themselves and their families, egoistic and uncaring for others to protect what little they have left in life and I can't blame anyone of them for that, but getting rid of immigrants is not solving the issues and neighter is getting rid of the EU, the problem is the impovering policies of the government and the distribution of wealth in the country. Anti-Immigrant behaviour would not be an issue if people would have less or no anxiety about their own future.

  18. Yes. All of Europe should have already in 2014 when Putin tested Europe ... and failed.
    32
  19. "What is in it for me" is also a central viewpoint of Trump for everything he does. From his perspective America belongs to him. Like a company he bought. Sometimes I even get the feeling he thinks he is America. And when Trump not personally benefits from something it has no worth for him and he is not interested.

  20. Excellent impression of Boris Johnson. I laughted so hard.
    27
  21. "I find find it for you" / "Or I will come back to you" ... Translated: Never
    26
  22. James O'Brien picked up on this topic as well. It's even worse there was someone else who held up an empty sign and they still arrested her. The same what happened in Moscow to Anti-War protestors.

  23. If you want to understand Brexit I recommend to also listen to the things Danny Dorling, Professor of the University of Oxfort has to say about the change of Britain over the last 50 if not 100 years especially on the aspect of Income Inequality.

  24.  @mariogmajner6549  Which?

  25. Some remarks regarding Aldi which people should know upfront. Aldi is not a Food Manufacturer, they only buy food in gigantic amounts and resell it. It is not necesarrily copying by them. It's known for a longer time in Germany that Food manufacturer make one product and sell it to let say "more expensive supermarkets" and Aldi at the same time ... with slight alterations to make it not too obvious and of course the price. But the quality, smell, taste, everything is the same. There are even lists and YT video about what is what out there. The problem is, due to the large selection of products in "more expensive supermarkets" the products tend to sit longer on the shelf. Aldi on the other hand often has only one variation two if you lucky. Meaning it sits very little time there and is usuallly fresher.

  26.  @themanftheworld8439  There is a massive shortage in workforce while unemployment is low. Even if you convince all families to get 8 children it will not solve this problem before 2045.

  27. I think this was combination of two things: 1) Trump genuinely thinks of Putin as his friend or perhaps even "daddy". And Trump was really offended about calling Putin out. 2) Trump's peace deal failed because it was more of surrender and he tried to extort Ukraine with the resource agreement. It failed too and Trump needed a way out to explain away his inability to negotiate.

  28. To avoid having complex visas requirement the EU would legally able to have for each country in the EU you pass through they offered a simpler solution: You can stay in the EU for 90 days within 6 months. But how can you check that if you not check-in or check-out at EU borders properly? The UK might not be willing to control their border, but the EU sure does.
    13
  29. Trump: "How can you be so mean to my best buddy? He really took so much s**t over the last 9 years."

  30. There is this strange law allowing coppers to arrest you for "offending people". This law leaves a lot of interpretation and wriggle-room to the coppers to arrest people to be brought before a judge to determine that. Think about this. They can just arrest you for stating your opinion in public. If you are right or wrong or justified or not doesn't matter because you are removed from public space and may need to wait months for a day in court so a judge can make a decission if the copper was justified or not doing this. If this is not discouragement of protesting and stating your opinion publicly and dare I say it - limiting your Freedom of Speech - I don't know what is.

  31. There is a reason why London has the nickname Londongrad. It has the highest percentage of people in Europe related to russian oligarchs or actually be russian oligarchs.

  32. "Woke" is common Decency. Why are we even discussing it. Of course I want to deal with decent human beings not with greedy, dishonest and corrupt people who see Decency as a weakness.

  36. @ Who cares absolute numbers? Everyone invests into their own military as percentage of GDP. Americas GDP is also 6 times bigger than Germanies.

  37. Don't be surprised if Tories and right-wing media now try to prolong Covid.

  38. Have you noticed everytime James O'Brien is off duty monumental things happen.

  39. Why do I unusually often stumble over former british military officers with Pro-Russia and Putin talking points?! Are they all bribed by russian oligarchs in britain to "advise" the british government in a certain way that helps Putin? Plus the body language of Chris Parry was really strange either he is really ill or he feels very unwell saying the things that he does. What's wrong? Is the pension not high enough so you need extra income?

  40.  @amaan8123  The money always comes from central government. Meaning the Tories for the last 11 years. If you were Tory in Westminster and hate education of the masses and Labour in particular would you send funds willingly to a Labour council? Keep one thing in mind: For Tories the normal people should have enough education to be profitable but not one bit more.

  41. This guy is complaining that he has to be political correct again and put his predjuces back into the drawer where Trump pulled it out from.

  42. Lol the playback at 10:00 - Salmond should make a career of story telling and reading for audiobooks. Not politics. His career is over and with his advanced age, but as a story-teller for kids he might be brilliant. EDIT: Oh and Dale was right the only thing missing was shouting "Freeeeeedoooommm".

  43. I think the consequences of Brexit far outweight the problems of the inheritance tax which are not even a problem for you anymore when it becomes an issue.

  44. One in 43. That's almost like putting chips on a number in roulette (1 : 37).

  45. And for that very reason the EU created the EU customs union so all 27 countries have the same tariff regime.

  46. But this would literally be the oppossit of appeasement. Either you are a liar or a fool.

  47. This would not be peace but surrender. What concession is Russia giving? And it's not up to us to decide anything only the Ukrainian people and their leader can decide that ... or Putin just turns around and goes home of course. P.S. There were at least 2 different attempts at peace talks. Both failed because of ridiculous demands by Putin.

  48. You call that "crying"? That is "I told you so" and you don't even recognize it.

  49. Listen to the Brexit Best-offs between 2015 and 2019 ... LBC had worse/less believable. When people allowing instinct and emotion to take over reality, truth and logic leave the room.

  50. Probably even more because it was a Labour Constituancy.
