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.

I may have been in support of Trump when it came to his policies on illegal immigration and all the DEI nonsense but fuck me, both he and the Republicans are looking like  massive hypocrites when it comes to free speech and the  media.

He also believes some democratic senator married her brother to get into the USA and wants her impeached for saying stuff he doesn’t like, yes she is a fucked up lefty but again Trump is a massive hypocrite given some of the shit he spouts, don’t like it then don’t dish it out.

USA, dogs etc

ABC immediately and rightly pulled the plug on the Show because he clearly lied to an audience broadcast on TV and online.

Right now in the USA there is a double standard in play regarding free speech. As an example a tv personality says something that Trumpettes don’t like and immediately the media outlet that broadcast the programme is leant upon to suspend or dismiss the individual concerned. There is a slow but inexorable movement stateside to suppress and eliminate anti Trump opinions and it is being done cunningly without recourse to any law but instead by using influence on the major media outlets.

At the same time major American politicians and one notable billionaire are complaining about UK laws which are in place to curb incitement. Here in the UK we are free to voice opinions against political leaders but in the USA it looks, from this side of the Atlantic, that free speech is under a growing threat.

The situation is uncomfortable for some, so let's brush it under the carpet.

Yep, some struggle with facing reality, especially those on the Left in a manner of ways.

All the speculation about Tyler Robinson's motivation is pointless at the moment, unless the point is to argue for argument's sake, as we don't know yet for sure.

 

Apart from all the evidence and witness statements from his family. There's nothing to speculate about.

Nailed it.

The Guardian appears to be going all out to destroy Reform's credibility, they've literally printed a non-story trying to discredit them re-donations, they've gone as far to try intimate that a late filing of accounts is somehow fraudulent by pointing to the HMRC website for some sort confirmation... desperate journalism  scraping the barrel.

All I've seen regarding his family is that they're a “good normal family".

Where have you got that impression of them, Sven?

[Massive Attack]

Why do you think his family are nazi's, Sven?  Where have you got that from?

Or is it just more misinformation you're posting again?

From the surname Robinson. Clearly distant relatives of Tommy Robinson.

[Fauxstralian]

Suspect his family saying Robinson subscribed to left wing ideology means he stopped joining them on family goose steps & failed to return their Nazi salutes

Question time was a good watch last night, it was a Trump special edition with Piers Morgan and some crazy little American lady.

[Mad Dog]

Wow.  Just... wow

[Ceasar]

Starmer at it again...

Further reports

"His family has collectively told investigators that he subscribed to left-wing ideology,"  Kash Patel said.

Ammunition found with the suspected rifle was also reportedly engraved with antifascist writings.

[Fauxstralian]

Can someone explain what Tyler Robinson ‘became left wing’ actually means?
he was knobbing a trans . Is that it? 
Seems to be a view that anyone who is gay or trans is left wing
As I said earlier in a world where the Republican Vice President wears mascara obviously that’s not true

ABC has indefinitely suspended "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after host Jimmy Kimmel's Monday monologue inaccurately linked the suspect in conservative activist Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting at a Utah event to Donald Trump's MAGA movement. The move followed criticism from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who suggested potential regulatory action, and decisions by affiliates like Nexstar Media Group to drop the show, prompting Disney to halt nationwide broadcasts. Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, filed a $40 million defamation lawsuit against ABC


Good girl. Rinse the cunts.

The schools are lying to us

The history is written by the victors and is bollocks

Teach the children critical thinking or the media and the schools will make them know nothing puppets
