The orange one (and no, I'm not a hater) seems to be quite happy to fuck off America's allies.
I do wonder how that'll turn out when the old allies realise that siding with the yanks really isn't worth the ag.
Less Chryslers on the streets of London, no bad thing.As a US tax payer I see things differently.
Fair enough, I respect that.

They have a point of course. It’ll be interesting to see how much pressure, if any they apply for change.
Change could be on the horizon.
He performed so well in the campaign against hostile interviewers and that was legitimately a good political speech.

They can’t even string a coherent sentence together. Their lack of intelligence and ideological beliefs make them dangerous, and we can thank the wonderful Tories and Labour for allowing large numbers of these people to move in on mass and destabilise society with their dogma and victim mentality, aided and abetted by said parties.

Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
So, Gaza...just a pure thought experiment, how long realistically to make it habitable?
UN numbers estimate 160,000 residential building destroyed, 275,000 severely or partially damaged. 90% of the house stock as best I can tell. Home to 1,800,000 million?
I'd guess all supporting infrastructure is fucked and given the amount of terrorist tunnelling much groundwork will be needed to fix that.
So, the whole place is essentially gone at this point. We still had some areas of London undeveloped after the blitz visible in the 80's.
Rebuilding the place even to the shithole it was, 2 generations at least. No population can survive in those conditions for 50 years, they'll be dead of cholera, typhoid etc long before.
There's no need to forcibly remove anyone, 6 months time when reality hits home anyone with any sense will leave.
If you're Gazan the best case scenario is the US deems all residents equal stakeholders of the land and then negotiates a buy out so they can resettle elsewhere with enough capital to put a roof over their heads and support any family.

IF the apple story is true I suspect they will tell Starmer to fuck off and pull out of the UK. I seem to remember a similar thing happening with whatsapp a few years ago,

Claims of Labour ditching their online safety act over Trumps tariffs. Hopefully the Chagos deal gets scuppered next and Starmer gets a full labour revolt for being such a pointless fanny.

I'm sure on his head it sounded good, but he must be barking if he thinks they're willingly going to leave now.
His main political stance is consistently America first and no foreign aid, so why would his plan be to spend billions doing it up, then hand it back to the Palestinians?they're not doing it for free are they?
there will be lucrative contracts for US businesses in the rebuilding, and then US businesses when the place becomes a functioning destination for people to live/visit.free or not is a moot point now, he's confirmed in his most recent interview that the Palestinians will not have a right to return, and the US will own it outright
I’ve not seen that. Be good if you could share it.
I’d assume the US would want ownership of some land, either as US property or belonging to US business. Then the land gets sold or rented. If the original occupants are getting a brand new house for free I don’t see the problem. If it’s different to that then I see the issue.

No they can't, that's the problem if there was a valid threat, if there was a legitimate threat and the courts deemed it important to access, currently no one could help anyway

This is government overreach, probably under the guise of some sort harebrained way of tracking terrorists or enemies of the state in their case, while being able to snoop at anyone's data.
Kier Starmer is an absolute rotten cսnt, and heads a rotten party. They can fuck off, and anyone of the opinion 'well if you've got nothing to hide.'
Apparently, Apple can't see users encrypted data anyway?

Re: The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)
Its not quite as you made it sound though, they would still need a court order to access an individual's data, they wouldnt be given access to freely look at any and all person's data, so absolutely no different than it is now with pretty much everything else
They just asking for ADP to be at a level where its possible to decrypt if it was court approved, currently that wouldnt be possible.
US government has also asked for this a few years back.
not that I agree with the above but just giving context, and what with the likes of PRISM, a much bigger overeach in breaching people's privacy then surely every party is as rotten another, they're all the same

lol no it's not true, they may ask for it and you'll always get the usual suspects supporting their claim but the government are never going to entertain it.
