  2. The point of Truss is the same as was the point of Johnson, and will be the point of Starmer: keep the people occupied with nonsense while their economy is flattened and they are transformed into serfs.

  4.  @MrNovember41  UK referendum votes in and is immediately acted upon. UK referendum votes out and is thwarted by parliamentary and judicial wrangling. Clear-cut case of the EU one way ratchet in action.

  5.  @flankspeed  If Swinson had gotten power, she would have denied the democratic vote. That's fascist.

  6.  @MrNovember41  And yet, the referendum of 1975 which kept us in the EEC that Heath had signed up for already, was adopted without question, immediately. Funny that.

  8.  @peterbarnard631  Swinson proved to be domineering and intolerant of others; she was in favour of overturning the vote in order to satisfy her desires. That's the root of fascism. If Corbyn had won, the whole nation would have had to live under his rule. I'm part of that nation.

  9.  @imedi  There is no requirement to take power by force to qualify as fascist. She was domineering and intolerant of the leavers' viewpoint. That's how fascism bases its claim.

  10. The level of dog-whistle Russophobia in the comments, shows just how effective the propaganda machine has been.

  11.  @chaosflower4892  Think for yourself based on nothing that is going on around you; listening to no reports of situations distant from your own and being able to form no conclusion based on reports? How is anyone going to think everything for themselves without outside influence?

  13. david Ukraine never had any nukes; they were part of the arsenal of the Soviet Union, merely sited on Ukraine territory.

  14.  @peterbarnard631  Oh I see 'a vote for us 16.2 million...' That's how democracy works is it? Select the sector of the electorate likely to return the decision you want? Nice.

  15. At first sight and at all levels, what's happening in Syria is a catastrophe. Firstly, for so many who live there, extreme violence is upon them. Just what is to happen beyond the initial phase is hardly likely to get any better.

  18. Andrew Marr, when responding to Putin's plea to recognise nuance, sees Vicky Pollard. This is where the British journalistic profession has taken itself?

  19. She is sly. She claims to be open-minded while her condescending, dismissive gestures indicate clearly that she regards his concerns with contempt. His argument is that simply the rate and the magnitude of the influx is unmanageable. He is right.

  22.  @peterbarnard631  This was the deal: we were asked as a nation, do you want to leave the EU or stay in the EU. We chose to leave. There's the deal; I had a say in it. In doing so, I took away nothing.

  23.  @peterbarnard631  As a common citizen, I would not have 'adopted' policy, I would have watched from the sidelines and waited for the next election to try once again. Fascists disregard such observance. They have their view and that will be imposed by whatever means...my friend.

  27. Russia has conducted itself in a very constrained manner in Ukraine; hence their insistence on referring to a Special Military Operation. They have chosen not to wage a total war. They can do this because they are fighting a much smaller force: lesser manpower and fewer resources. Were they to be faced by the whole of Europe, then all out war would need to be prosecuted. In that situation, the whole of Europe would be very swiftly decimated. From the outset of this operation, the governments, the media and the bovine public, have underestimated the fighting capabilities of Russia. To blithely trundle along towards a total war between the combined nations of Europe and Russia is extremely irresponsible. Repeatedly we are portraying Russia as having designs on the takeover of Europe when there is not one shred of evidence of such plans. Why do we not talk of ways of returning to the situation whereby Europe presented no encroaching threat to Russia with the siting of bases and missiles ever closer to its border? It is either that or a huge conflagration which would leave Russia and America gravely damaged but ready to rebuild - and a Europe totally destroyed.

  38. Compulsory? How do you force someone to pick up a gun? Even turn up? Thankfully, people have a bit more sense than to go and fight and die so that some rich people can get even richer. It took us a long time but we had two world wars to bring us to our senses.

  41. Whether or not one agrees with the handing-over of the Chagos Islands; what is disturbing is the total absence of any public discussion in the lead-up to the decision. It was just landed on the public as a fait accompli. This is in no way a surprise. It is a clear signal as to the manner in which the Stürmer government intends to exert its power.

  43. Even here: " ...as much as we understand the protest that is going on..." Do you understand that the protest is in support of Black Lives Matter - the organisation led by self-described 'trained Marxists'; the first aim of which, as stated in their declaration, is to 'dismantle capitalism'?

  44. "Putin needed to feel the pain of losing on the battlefield, and we were working our way towards that..."....."He's [Putin is] losing a major part of his army everyday..." Think about that statement - how mathematically untenable it is? Mr Townsend is in a very sorry state resulting from his mindless consumption of the blatant and bared corruption of basic on-the-ground facts. "What is Putin gonna give up?" This isn't a board game, it is war and at the end of a war the victor is under no compulsion to give up anything. What did the allies give up when they met with German command after both world wars? The truth is that this conflict had no need to arise. Had the UK/US pact and its NATO front not embarked upon its scheme to destroy and plunder the Russian Federation over the course of the past thirty years; then Russia would not have needed to re-arm to such an extent so as to defend itself. The delusion of the Western MSM has been smashed - not before time - against the brick wall of reality.

  47. For Russia, this fight is existential - if they lose in Ukraine, they lose their sovereignty, their land and everything in it will be owned by the Western oligarchy. For that reason, they will fight with everything they have. For the West, this has been from the outset a commercial adventure from which they can turn at any time and go home to carry on as they were. This is what they have done before in other peoples' lands and that is what they will do in Ukraine.

  48.  @Payteer  Please do some research into why Russia took the decision to invade. This was the reaction, after decades of pleading, to the relentless march toward Russia's borders by the UK/US pact.
