There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

What did you have for lunch today? 
A mega bucket from KFC, 4 big macs, 5 kilos of Haribo, and joyo's mum's minge.

Nice part of the world, North East Essex. Sorry to hear the biggest problem you've got over there is a few too many fat people. Must be a nightmare.

Fauxstralian » 13 Sep 2025, 22:58You seem very anti free speech there F129cause problems for the PoliceTommy Cholmondley-Warner won’t be happy with you
Just read your assinine response to my post. Why couldn't the far left fascists have held their infantile chanting of absolute drivel the following day? Why cause problems for the Police just to make arses of themselve and be provocative. Don't forget it is our tax money that pays for all this policing..

Why are they always allowed to turn up at migrant hotel protests and even helped there by the police.  Why are they allowed to get away with calling ordinary concerned people Nazi scum  surely that is hate speech. Many of the flag waving crowd lost relatives fighting nazis. The far left behave like Hitler's Brown Shirts and call patriotic English people fascists I'm sure most of them are only there for a good time.and most of them will grow out of it, but many are  Corbinesque old farts who have never grown up and if they could they'd still be blocking the roads.

Back in the late 60's/early 70's there was a weekly "newspaper"  called Reveille (I can still "see" the sky blue banner/badge on it's front page).

Basically full of insignificant news clips keeping the pictures of scantily clad young women apart.

It was very popular though; being a paper-boy at the time, Thursday's newspaper delivery was always half as heavy again as the rest of the week (Except Sundays & all the fucking supplements).

The Daily mail has morphed into an exact clone of this.

I'm mostly offended you would think I'd bother with Tik Tok there, GUMBO.
OK I'll apologise Tubby for tiktok,but you're admitting you suck up to Putin's propaganda and meth taking Mong Musk bollocks?

Have a quick listen to Trevor Phillips about his experience of it (he's quite a big deal in the reporting world if you also haven't heard of him).

 
 
Sky News are Raynerite/Starmerite left, along with C4 News, the Guardian and the BBC. Not quite so far left as Corbyn, but pretty damn close. ITV News used to be a bit better, but are sliding down to meet them. The Mirror is now mentalist hard left and the Indie is kind of Greenie/Lib Dem. All independent radio stations seem to take their news bulletins from Sky, so are left as you like.

I would put the DT and Express as centre right and GB News and Talk as full on right (not fucking far right) I barely count the Mail as a newspaper any more - it's just like OK or Hello or some other celebrity obsessed shit now.

When you are marching along with Tommy Robinson, Katie Hopkins , Lawrence Fox & a hologram of Elon Musk do you wonder about the company you are keeping?
Many valid points for people to march but it’s dominated by some odd people 
Hope you didn’t beat up any police just doing their job
I didn't go on the march because of the people you mentioned(Except Hopkins) but would imagine most of the people there certainly didn't go to keep company with a moron like Fox but making a very valid point about illegals 
As for anyone wanting to beat up the police that march was on August bank holiday in Notting Hill

North East Essex.  My point wasn't particular to where I live.  As a nation Obesity is massively on the rise and a huge added strain on the NHS.

He makes some valid point about illegal immigration but why does he expect the country to "look after" himself and his veteran kids? What does he mean by "look after"?

This is the problem with modern society. So many people expect freebies and are not willing to graft and contribute to society. They just expect to be takers and to be "looked after".
 
Expect his son was on a waiting list for housing.   Don't want to pressume but if his son was also suffering from mental health problems there are sometimes long waits for services.   

Yes there are immigrants on those lists but this country's health service is clogged up with fat lazy unhealthy people who can't be arsed to work and want enough money given them so they can afford their deliveroo from McDonald's.

Look at archive footage of this country pre 1990's.  Barely any fatties about.  We have followed in 🇺🇸 footsteps and it'll only get worse.
 
What a load of fucking bollocks.

Do yourself a favour, go to any hospital in London and the outskirts. The people you are attacking, will very much be the minority, by some fucking distance. Wanker.
 
 
Betting you don't work in the NHS.

Yes every march has opportunists who tag along with their own nefarious motives
This however was sold as Tommy Robinson’s march and am guessing Hopkins & Fox were expected 
I believe Musks appearance via a screen wasn’t pre advertised 
Havent heard what his call for overthrow of the government & exhorting of violence went over but presume it wasn’t rejected by the concerned locals trying to make their valid non violent points

I was actually standing a few rows behind these chaps near the scaffolding on that building to the right that people climbed on. Remember that mans face although didn't actually hear this. The song was very moving too just as the heavens opened.

You say "let's see the evidence" but are quick to be convinced he must be so far right he makes kirk look like greta thunburg

You have not posted the full empathy quote.  You have deliberately misinterpreted it and as I said ignored the "I prefer the term sympathy" part

I said I understood why people may have gone.  I also think people like kate Hopkins and fox are fucking morons.  I cant see myself ever going on a political march.  The one against the board Saturday i do plan to be at however

I'm not right wing, but im definitely not left wing.  Frankly Both are deeply flawed.  But one thing I  am vehemently against is the extremes of both sides. The racist cunts on the right, and the purple haired nose ringed screaming imbeciles on the left.  I try to see oth sides and make my own judgement.  I'm not beholden to anyone else's views.  I think what I want to think, not what im supposed to think based off an idology

And no, violence isn't the answer to this.  What IS going to happen is reform will be voted in by a lot of disenfranchised people who feel they are being ignored.

“As said a march with some valid points has been hijacked by those with extreme motives”

every protest, march, demonstration is going to have headbangers on either side. Do you just cancel because they join in?
