What cracks me up about the thick cunts in charge, is they (Labour and many EU Leaders) don't even make a serious attempt to try and look like they're tackling the issue. So it makes it more likely for Starmer and Labour to be removed, rather than give the soppy proletariat something to cling on to thinking they're making a difference even when they know they're not. And in by doing so, they will be out of power for an incredibly long time the way it is developing, or indeed the eventual collapse of the EU which has been struggling for over a decade now. Proper thick strategy as the people in my opinion will eventually rip this entire political sham up and put even more unpalatable characters in power they really dislike.

The people across the continent have clearly had enough with huge protests popping up all over and in the biggest Countries of them all like the UK, France and Spain. In a way now, I'm kind of pleased their arrogance to the situation has exposed themselves so everyone can see what's really going on and will vote accordingly in future. I don't see either the Labour Party or the Conservatives getting back in to power in this Country for a very long time.
 
 
imho, immigration has been ignored by the Establishment & MSN since Bliar opened the doors in 2003, everything & everything was the excuse to allow unfettered immigration (jobs that Brits wouldn't do?), when in fact it was a political construct to keep New-Labour in power (as admitted by Ed Milliband in 2011/12). The Tories oversaw another steep increase in immigration and blamed everything on the EU.

Then the EU vote came along, for the first time in decades the the Council-Estates & the Disaffected turned up & voted and Brexit happened (immigration was the main worry)... the Establishment then doubled-down ignoring peoples concerns.

Still the Establishment are using every trick in the book to not do anything, they blame the ECHR, the far-right (what far-right?, the Antifa fascist?), France, bigots & racist. People think Farage is the answer, imo, he's a one-trick pony (Brexit) who is coming out with some batshit ideas. By allowing former 'failed' Tories into the Reform ranks, you kinda know same old, same old bullshit will reign supreme. Notice Farage has gone quiet over the TR-Event, he can't claim it because he wasn't invited.

I'm not a lover of Tommy Robinson but fuck-my he lit a fire on Saturday... the Left are doing their utmost to discredit the Event, by dissing the number of people in attendance & call violence started by the Plod a right-wing uprising comparable to the National-Front or British-Movement from the 70's. Farage is in a state of panic, he has a rival party it would appear & it's not the Tories.

You ignore the people at your expense or political demise, the Establishment are about to learn some hard facts... it's the people standing-up and finding their voice, where it will lead?, who knows.

Is there a definitive motive for Tyler Robinson yet?
Yes given he grew up in a gun loving fanatical Trump MAGA Mormon family that doesn’t rule out him rebelling against that and going full on psycho lefty
There seem to be conflicting view on the slogans on the bullets recovered 
Some say they are left slogans 
Others point out they relate to memes & slogans from computer games associated with Nick Fuentes
Dont know him but have read he is to the right of Kirk and he and his supporters think Saint Charlie is a soft cock traitor to THEIR views
The Utah governor (Republican) tells us he KNOWS Robinson was a dangerous lefty
But declines to give evidence
Lets just wait and see what comes out

In the meantime let’s just pray (if that’s your thing) that SOMEONE in power will restrict loonies having guns
Anything else is insanity

Or situations where a war veteran is kicked out of their accommodation (not long after his wife died of cancer), to end up living in a tent in a park, until ending up in a coma in hospital after being kicked to shit.

And whilst they were in hospital, their previous accommodation becoming home to a family of Romanian refugees.

That type of thing also.

Don’t know how old the veteran in question is, but by ‘looking after’ they might mean scenarios whereas 80 plus year olds don’t burst out laughing in a chemist, when advised they will need to contact their GP. Stuff like that really.

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".

It's not that the weasel cսnt has misread it, it's just that he's talking exclusively to potential voters.

He's wasting his time as he'll probably be doing bird for his part in covering up grooming in London the next time it elects a mayor.

The dam has broken now it's just a matter of time before there is a reckoning for the crimes of the loony left scum. They'll show their true colours first and go hard trying to crush the truth but the end is already inevitable.

As Gandhi, probably, never said ; first the ignorey ou, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.

Well, they are fighting and losing, badly.

London’s white population is multicultural and inclusive. Its the nature of a citadel of woke.

London is also the seat of power for the nation and doesnt reflect the rest of the country.

This is spot on.

I often used to be asked what I believed the most important skills were when managing people. Obviously there are many elements but essentially it mostly boiled down to a clear understanding and focus on the objectives and goals you were responsible for, and very importantly a well-developed empathy for those you managed who were tasked with portions of achieving those goals.

Understanding and flexing around their individual circumstances and concerns, was without question the best way to show that you valued their contribution, gained agreement on how they would best contribute, engaged genuine enthusiasm, and ensure that we were all working towards the necessary goals.

If someone’s child has died from cancer the person might express sadness but be relieved inside. I might not know about the relief as the person feels obliged to show social norms not their inner feelings.

if a psychologist analyses someone like this should they have empathy? 

how many people should I try and show empathy for, even if I don't have a clue how they feel and am really just projecting my inner feelings? Perhaps outwardly to project a socially acceptable version of what is currently fashionable? 

I do understand the concept but its utter baloney.

how about I just say “ get a grip you wet lettuce”

As it happens, I make Kirk wrong on this one, but he was mistaken or ignorant of the correct definition, as many are in this case (not least most of the posters on here), not in any way evil.

I would bet if I was beating the shit out of someone they would likely feel pain but just because I think that would be true doesnt make it so. 
My feelings would be based upon me not them. I would know me not them.

I can be sympathetic or altruistic but I cant know how they feel. Only they might know that.
