If you want an independent view this is interesting, should hit a million soon.

 

Also a few mention of other Starmageddon issues.

I doubt it. He’s got another four and a half years before he has to call an election, and Labour has no-one with any name recognition left to supplant him. The last thing the Labour Party wants is to look like the Conservatives and change the head honcho.

It is going to be interesting, the Cons were in such a state I would think it will take them a long time to get their act together and have no leadership of consequence.

 

Labour are going full fascist, dissent is certainly not allowed, where they go next well who knows.

 

To quote a Civil War saying a pox on both their parties.

 

Yep Kier has a mandate, he got 34% of the vote.

I think that "Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too" is more accurately "Tippecanoe and Get Wet, Too!"

Leaflets in London:  'Every Zionist Needs to Leave Britain or Be Slaughtered'

 

What is happening in Britain today could all too easily happen here, and that's why every American should note the rising tide of antisemitism there, and particularly its frankly and unapologetically menacing edge.

GB News reported Wednesday that "leaflets with the writing 'every Zionist needs to leave Britain or be slaughtered' were found spread around the streets of Hendon, a predominantly Jewish neighbourhood in north London."  The message itself was bad enough, but the fact that it has gotten so little attention was a disquieting indication of how much antisemitism has already become normalized amidst the left's relentless propaganda campaign to isolate and demonize Israel after the Hamas massacre of 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023.  [...]

British Army would be destroyed in six months if it had to fight Russia, says veterans minister

 

The British Army would be destroyed in "six months to a year" if it had to fight Russia, the veterans minister has warned.

Colonel Alistair Carns, a former marine and current reservist, said it would not be possible for the UK to sustain losses like those suffered by the Kremlin's forces – estimated at 1,500 troops per day in Ukraine – in the event of a war.

Speaking at a conference on reserves, he said: "In a war of scale, not a limited intervention but one similar to Ukraine, our Army, for example on the current casualty rates, would be expended, as part of a broader multi-national coalition, in six months to a year."

 

The British Army currently has 72,510 full-time troops – its smallest size since the Napoleonic era.  [...]

There may be some of that, but the majority remain the same professional fighting force the UK has always maintained. 
 

I remember tha last time international opinion of the UK military was so low. Going into 1982, the Soviet intelligence opinion of the UK armed forces was best described as dismissive. Six months and a small war in the South Atlantic later and Soviet intelligence had reassessed the situation and rated the UK military as the most capable in NATO.

 

Then there are the UK special forces, still rated universally as the best there is. Mainly because they are all completely barking mad. ☠️

'Allahu Akbar' Replaces 'Cheerio, Mate!' As Most Popular UK Greeting

 

LONDON — A recent poll conducted by the University of Oxford just revealed that "Allahu Akbar" has officially replaced "Cheerio, mate!" as the most popular greeting in the UK.

The results of the survey show "Allahu Akbar" beating out "Cheerio mate" in what experts are calling a "flippin' landslide, old bean."

"It's not really that surprising, what what?" said Baxter Edwin Bartleby III, a senior pollster.  [...]

Why Again Do We Still Have a Special Relationship With the Tyrannical UK?

 

[...] Great Britain has always had a fraught relationship with freedom, at least regarding people who aren't British.  In its glorious imperialist era, when its colonialism brought the light of civilization to a huge swath of the world, it presumed to tell us Americans what we could and could not do.  At Lexington and Concord, 250 years ago this spring, a bunch of redcoats tried to take our guns.  We shot them.  And we kept shooting them until they went home.  But no hard feelings – they even burned down much of Washington, DC, during the War of 1812 as a gesture of friendship to the American people.

 

Still, our special relationship was built upon a shared reverence for the basic tenets of freedom that the British themselves pioneered.  From the Magna Carta to the rise of Parliament and the restraining of their inbred royal rulers, the British set the template for freedom, and we Americans took it to the next level.  We wrote our Constitution with a Bill of Rights that addressed some of the presumptuous impositions the British had tried to inflict upon us Americans.  The First Amendment was one of the key rights.  So was the Second.  The Brits had been jerks to us until we shot them and they went crying back to their godforsaken moist and frigid island, but they largely treated their own people well.  You could speak freely.  You could say things that offended the elite.  The idea that you might be tossed into the stony lonesome for sounding off was completely alien to them.  And that unique reverence for individual rights was why we could have a special relationship with people who have terrible teeth and food and insist on calling a car's trunk a "boot."  [...]

Because we’re the biggest, least sinkable aircraft carrier in the U.S. Air Force. 😎
