So now Zack Polanski is comparing Starmer to Enoch Powell. 😬

EasternStandard · 12/05/2025 16:17

What a day. Enoch Powell and Starmer, tube out in London, crossings still up and Macron’s tissue 😬

twistyizzy · 12/05/2025 16:20

And now Starmer's door is on fire!!
Very suspect timing with today's announcement, will be blamed on far right wingers I imagine.

Upstartled · 12/05/2025 16:23

I just saw that but it looks like the fire was started late last night. Apparently it's not unknown and has happened a few times before. It's absolutely dreadful, none of our elected representatives should have to live like this. I hope they catch whichever thug did it, whatever they think they're protesting.

twistyizzy · 12/05/2025 16:24

He doesn't even live there though!! Suppose it's not as easy to get to No10 or Lord Ali's though

Yeah, I know, it's menacing though, isn't it? I don't like it when there's anything like this, with any of the politicians, it's totally uncivilised.

Fucking shocking comment. You should be ashamed.

Upstartled · 12/05/2025 16:31

Absolutely, it's poor form. We have had enough harmed politicians in our history to be wishing for more. Fuelling political intolerance is, well, it's shit. You should have that comment removed, I have no truck with that.

I spent more time than I deserve on hot noisy busses because of the bloody tube.

If Keir only did something about the fuckers who play noisy videos and music then I might even consider voting for him. —not really—

Upstartled · 12/05/2025 16:35

Yvette Cooper about to address the commons. I wonder if this will be a a hold my beer moment?

EasternStandard · 12/05/2025 16:41

If they out-Reform Reform then why put up with Starmer at all.

I’m not that desperate! 😀

Agreed.
Ferret you need to report and get that removed. Not cricket.

@TheNuthatchyou gotta get The Telegraph app. It has the best pics and visuals for content. I can say this on this thread without the usual Labour lot landing on my post.

Macron hid a tissue on a train with his hand and there was mention of it not being cocaine so maybe X ramped up on that. Made me laugh, it looks like a snotty tissue.

I just googled it. God that made me laugh 🤣🤣. The comment from the Elysee 'This is a tissue. For blowing your nose'. 😂😂😂
Can you imagine Macron, Merz and Starmer having a cocaine party!
The Russians are having a field day!

I laughed because I’d probably get rid of a tissue if filmed or photographed at work.

Apologies. No offence was meant; my comment was badly worded and didn't come across in the way I intended. I see it's already been removed.
