    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I love the way you use this one as if it somehow makes me stupid and you smart when the truth is if you had have spent 5 minutes on wiki yourself you would see how stupid and inaccurate your straw man argument was in the first place.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    In fact, if you look into it Russia has a bit of history of shooting down commercial airliners. They shot down a 747 travelling from Korea to the USA in 83 killing almost 300 people. Straw man arguments in attempt to justify Russia shooting down commercial airliners because they’re no worse than...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Ahh that one. From about 25 years ago when Russia had a Vichy government in Ukraine so had no interest in invading it. Wondered WTF he was going on about for a moment. Wasn’t it launched from a Russian military installation based in Ukraine? So essentially it was still the Russians.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Errr. Pakistan? Another yank in power with absolutely no idea what’s going on in the world. Perfect VP for Trump.

    The Tory ban only came in last year and was essentially an election gimmick as they thought the electorate was made up of nimbys. On a wider level it was part of their phoney culture bollocks , we’ve scrapped 7 bins etc because only woke believe in climate issues. It was a cynical policy in the...

    She’s an absolute lunatic. How was she ever let anywhere near government let alone the top seat. It wasn’t even a secret before she was. Mad as a box of frogs seems to have been a label that’s followed her around her whole life.

    Raising the threshold is an excellent and easy way of closing the inequality gap. I’d say that’s very left wing. The spending cuts were always coming under a Tory government, the raising of the tax threshold wasn’t. Lib Dem’s made that happen. Happy to be corrected but my memory was the triple...

    For a socialist to be concentrating on that as the crux of your argument is a weird one. I would have thought that raising the tax threshold to £10k would have rang your bell. Wasn’t it the Lib Dem’s that got the triple lock through on pensions too? 2 very left wing policies that otherwise...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    India, especially Modi will lay in bed with anyone. Modi has just invited Starmer to India. It doesn’t mean that the pendulum has suddenly swung back the other way again. It’s just Modi laying in bed with anyone. All he’s interested in growing India into the biggest economy in the world because...

    Not compared to the anti reform vote. 95% of the country didn’t vote for them.

    Not sure about that but I do remember that they got their pledge to raise the tax threshold to £10k implemented making everyone noticeably better off in their pockets overnight, especially if you were on a lower income. Think I’m right in saying that it was the single biggest ever jump.

    Could have been worse, could have been the Tories with no one sitting on their shoulder whispering in their ear. I dread to think how much harder and faster they would have gone on austerity had they not been in coalition with the Lib Dem’s. It was the best possible outcome for the country if...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I have to say though I think that’s their fault. There seem to be a major misunderstanding what being in a coalition means. It means a negotiated combination of 2 (or more) parties policies with some policies inevitably falling by the wayside. Sorry but anyone who thought that voting Lib Dem...

    If Braverman and BadEnoch are the final 2 the Tory memberships heads are going to explode trying to pick the craziest out of those two.

    It is, but they didn’t address that with the money saved.

    The last 2 years aside though our spending in real terms has gone down for over a decade and our military has shrunk considerably in terms of personnel.

    Didn’t it come out last year that pretty much every boss Ofwat has ever had was either a former director of a water company or went on to be a director of a water company when they left? I think the current Ofwat boss is the former from memory.
