The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)

[Come On You Irons]

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

Part of the reason my boy jacked in the Met, grew sick of all the bollocks he had to put up with

Is this “Police overreach” story anecdotal or has someone some context to add to it?

Have Old Bill seriously not got anything much better to be doing than dick about wasting precious time and resources on fake accounts about social media posts made by little girls.... This shit aint difficult.

Rapists, murderers, muggers are currently pissing themselves at the same time of committing their crimes.

More Police overreach - Forcing their way into someone’s home because a kid viewed a post online that the thought police disagreed with. Forced entry with no warrant, and in truth no crime, and attempting to apprehend a device too. I would nail them for trespassing, coercion and attempted theft. 

Tut tut. They clearly aren't West Ham fans then. Because if they were they would have taken a leaf out of Paquetas book and launched the mobile in to their nearest river. 🏞

It’s just to calm down some of his backbenchers who invested in this issue & think he is a dithering twat
Trying to stop the push for Andy Burnham to come back into parliament & replace him
Noone REALLY cares about Palestine & their terrorist overlords Hamas
Though the genocidal Israelis doing their best to lift support for them

[Mike Oxsaw]

Starmer really cares about the Palestine or just an attempt to stop the London marches and reduce/remove the cost of policing them?

Big financial government black hole, remember.

Here's a good old boy that gives a clear example of what the Left get up too and exposes it..

..."The law left loopholes"...

Of course it did, either through sheer incompetence, deliberate ambiguity, subject matter ignorance or simply ensuring future lucrative work for lawyers & law makers.

The ultimate in job creation and no oversight when it happens. Who oversees the ultimate overseers?

[THUNDERCLINT]

What sort of education process churns out people who can be so influenced by the opinions of others, whether or not they find them agreeable?

An MK Ultra inspired one...

[Fauxstralian]

It’s another nutter with easy access to a gun
There are crazies of all stripes who can easily deal with their imagined outrages by getting their hands on automatic weapons and killing people
Given the political temperature at the moment there will be more people killed
Its probably too late in the MAGA land where people believe they still live in the days of cowboys & Indians to restrict guns
America is a crazed cesspool & it’s not getting better

[Sydney_Iron]

Well this made me laugh, well once you get past the German (think he's German?) presenter to the content its quite amusing!!! and at least SOME on the left have a sense of humour

FMOB. After killing Charlie Kirk, the left are now targeting ABC over Jimmy Kimmel. 
 

the guy was upset at losing his job by all accounts, facts huh

The alleged gunman, a former health policy analyst for the California Indian Health Board, posted on X the day before the shooting, seemingly wishing for Trump’s death, the outlet reported.

“Where is a good heart attack when we need it the most??” the post read.

"Please Join in my thoughts and prayers for the physical demise of our fearful leader.”

'A man has been arrested after a drive-by shooting into an ABC affiliate TV station in Sacramento, according to police.

Anibal Hernandezsantana, 64 years old, was arrested early Saturday and charged with felonies that include shooting into an occupied building, assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm, the Sacramento Police Department told NPR in a statement.'

Don't worry, Fauxstralian will be along in a minute with his gas lantern to claim it was yet another Right Wing nutter.

As a weird side note I used to date a yank bird from Roseville not far from there.

To be fair Fauxstralian, I don't think you should shut up. I'm happy for you to continue showing yourself up with the gaslighting you're doing.

[Fauxstralian]

All I have said is there is no concrete evidence as to Robinson’s motive beyond his disgust at Kirk’s contempt for trans people
Does just that make him one of the vermin left as Trump would call him?
 
Thanks for your respect for free speech & opposing opinions
Speak for YOURSELF M Dog 
You are almost as presumptive as dead C Kirk in imposing your opinions on others
 

[Mike Oxsaw]

Watching all the political shenanigans going on in the west, I'm starting to feel that the three points on the political spectrum (far-left, centralist, far-right) are inadequate and that there are actually 2 points on the spectrum that many, if not most, closely associate themselves with.

These are effectively  political LaGrange points and there are two of them - one mid-way between far-left and centralist, and the other mid-way between far-right (whatever the fuck that is) and centralist.

These people gravitating to such points (and it's possible to gravitate towards either depending on the subject under discussion) show some alignment with centralist and whatever extreme their chosen LaGrange point sits closest to, but not rabid foaming-at-the-mouth support for that extreme.

But these people are a major constituent of "the silent majority" and it is these who need to find their voices and make it clear that neither far-left, far-right or centralist actually speak for them.

[Mad Dog]

Faux, I think I speak for most of us when I say "please, shut, the fuck, up"

Sick of hearing you cherry picking bits of quotes  to twist to your narrative and I can only assume deliberately coming out with horse shit like the shooter was further right than kirk because he has family members to be antagonistic because surely nobody is that stupid

 

[Fauxstralian]

Kirk says people shouldn’t use their colour or sexuality to paint themselves as special or superior
Having made a ‘career’ bemoaning black people taking ‘white jobs’ and demeaning anyone who isn’t heterosexual 
Same old inflammatory nonsense from the dead bloke

[Massive Attack]

HaHaHa, sulky Zultanas suing Jezza...

[Massive Attack]

Corrected?
Mr High Hair reckons finding God is the answer
Then accuses the Democrats of being extreme left



 

It's almost as if you (purposely?) ignored what Kirk said in the clip, like so many online that can be found.
