What it means to be British, :hmmm: let me think :hmmm: is it "because we can post internet images correctly" or maybe not, :har: :har: :har:

your image link is an mp4 and not a gif, that's why it isn't working. :up:

Ouch. :haha:


You forgot the British propensity to drive on the wrong side of the road and eating cucumber sandwiches. :D

Sarah Everard vigil and Political Correctness Gone Mad.

This was a time for the mourners to remember that this young ladies life was taken away from her by apparently but not yet convicted serving police officer. The police had the opportunity to have a massive Public Relations Propaganda hit on their hands by handing out free masks to anyone who hadn't got one. As usual the top brass don't have the brains to see this for what it could have been and not for what happened, the scenes plastered all over the newspapers is a stark reminder of what is to come from these muppets.

MET Police chief Cressida Dick and her assistant Commissioner Helen Ball should be removed immediately from their positions as they've been promoted into a job that far exceeds their abilities, the Commissioner of the London Fire Brigade Danielle Amara Cotton was another one promoted for there gender and not their experience level and we all know what happened at the Grenfell tower fire.

London mayor Sadiq Khan should fall on his sword too but he won't do, the useless bastard will never take any of the blame and that folks is why we're always going from one ****up to another, the real culprits are the Lefty Woke pillocks who are promoting the likes of Dick, Ball and Cotton, into positions that they can't handle.

Bloody hell!, Dick, Ball and Cotton?, there's a massive joke there somewhere, we're only missing the kitchen sink and we would have had a Full House. :haha:

^ yes the "picture is not working" because there is an "mp4" ending at the end of the external link. Congrats!

re "The Sun" = "where the misled go to get misinformed" :yeah:
There was no way to kill the fire because the type of highly inflammable insulation was used, so blame the firefighters? Blame the mayor? Or blame your company-friendly politics that do not care for people?

The main impression I get from the Tories regarding the SNP seems to be waiting for the Nats to implode and hoping that SLab makes a comeback in Scotland whilst also tacitly supporting any anti-SNP movement.:hmmm:

Are the SNP going to get a majority in May's Holyrood election? Probably - I wouldn't give the polls much credance at the moment but based on observation once Glasgow and the surrounding areas start voting for a particular party they do so mindlessly until another lot promising "bread and circuses" comes along.:doh:

As the Clyde Valley conurbation contains 40% of Scotland's population any political party that hopes to control Scotland has to control that area.

Mike.

That's how I've been seeing things as well, the Central Belt, which includes Greater Glasgow, Ayrshire, Falkirk, Edinburgh, Lothian and Fife will decide who is going to win the election.

The Tories or Labour are going to have to use underhanded tactics and they'll need to focus in those areas above, I think the poison dwarf will still win but she'll have an even tougher time to make any gains for the SNP which she desperately needs.

This election the other parties will be muck spreading as though it's going out of fashion and it's going to be far more brutal than she's ever faced before.
Whether she can come out of it smelling of roses all depends on her ability to slap down all the slurs that are going to be thrown in her direction, and I think this Salmond inquiry might have opened some wounds which they could exploit.

If I should go after what have been said in some of the video clip you have posted here in this UK Politics Thread

I would say we are on the brink of a war(I think is the correct phrase)

Markus

Not a military conflict though.

@mapuc you do not really believe what Russia posts in those videos?

"Northern Ireland protocol is solution, not problem, says EU envoy to UK"

^ Now this part (below) is probably the closest to the true/real reality.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...y-more-than-40

The UK planms to play it serious with its foreign and defence policy. Trident cap is to fall, increase of 40% planned. The focus shifts from Russia to China as main threat, the playing field more being the pacific region instead of the North Atlantic.

Watch and learn, EU. Some lessons to learn in that.

Will be not working out however the moment Johnson does not get re-elected. I expect any follow-up government to scrap the plans immediately.


P.S.

Including a German article I read I get totally conflicting news on whether the UK puts the threat rating of Russia over that of China, or the other way arounds. Well.

I partially agree, though the whole situation is artifical and bad since so much decades.. Would it be such a problem in today's view, to just let Ireland unite and become independent as a whole? Who is against it?

Quite some of the Northern Irish, I would say. Religion, history, all that.

That's one hell of a bold statement, if they can't get the Unionists to play ball on this it's doomed to fail.

As Sky correctly states, the sizeable portion of the Northern Ireland population.

It was a bit of a rhetorical question; with demographics and the general behaviour i think that it might not take too long.
I take it catholics will soon be the majority, and there even seem to be some more supporting it. I guess(!) that in case a hard brexit had happened, it could now have been underway.

Of course not.

These videos seem to paint a devil on the wall, where there in fact aren't any.

Markus

Sometimes so and sometimes not so.
