I give up, though i did get one comment deleted.... though that then got another 3 out of the woodwork.

This is the conclusion that I had already reached when I took the decision to stop reporting and let them drown in their own bile.

Just had to post this!

😂

MN is becoming a parody of itself.

There is yet another thread on the imminent collapse of the UK. It is now heading into benefit bashing.

This is what it is leading to

Village idiots verbally abusing an influx of "illegal immigrants" at a campsite in Newbridge, Wales

They were a group of Scouts from Scotland

Anti-immigrant rhetoric has consequences

Statement from Scouts Cymru

"We are aware of a racially aggravated incident targeting under-18s"

@DuncinToffee that is sickening, and we know what those people would have been saying about anyone filming their children and putting it online.

I wonder what flags these morons were flying ? I bet not a single one of them even knows the Welsh is a language, let alone speaks it.

I think the abuse was online only, not in person, thankfully.

Knuckleheads.

Eta: slightly more readable link that the Argus one.

She's as thick as mince and utterly repulsive.

When Guru-Murthy pointed this out to the Reform mayor, she responded: “We’ve got to document them, process them, send them to their country of origin. Send them to other countries. We want to start closing down these hotels so people feel safe.”

In other words, do exactly what the current government is doing. 🙄

I think the abuse was online only, not in person, thankfully.

One way to quell 90% of these gobshite "protests" would be to use Google Maps to locate refugee housing as far as possible from a KFC, McDonalds and Weetherspoons. If it means having to walk a mile uphill from the road so much the better. I would suggest somewhere cold, but a lot of these protesters are clearly well prepared for a long freeze.

Jenkyns’ body language during that Ch4 interview was fascinating. Hands lunging and grasping, invading K G-M’s space, eyes constantly flicking to the left giving the tell to the fact even she didn’t believe the guff she was spouting.

Quite a few of the less bright politicians (I think the clever capable ones are all sitting this out right now) are realising that they have painted themselves into a corner. They are now being directed by the beast that they arrogantly assumed they would ride. Probably because it all seemed so easy when explained in pictures.

There was a massive case study of this situation and its effects last century. Let me see if I can remember who did it (googles). Oh, yes, it was the allied court at Nuremberg between 1946 and 1949

I’m normally proud to be Welsh (in a non-nationalistic fashion). This has made me feel a bit sick and ashamed.

Truss isn't getting that message

Wow. Truss is in such profoundly skewed denial.

Claiming that the Olympics' focus on the Queen, Bond, and the NHS doesn't speak for "normal" Brits. Openly embracing authoritarian Project 2025. Thinking that rural areas love her politics, a year after she was kicked out by her own rural voters. ~AA

In a post on the thread about dogs, poster "GCAcademic" made the following suggestion

It's got to the point where we need a board called "Room 101" where people can go to start threads on the things they hate.

At the very least, move threads from Chat to AIBU - which is already well known for it's choppy waters.

Meanwhile, an interesting development. Annoyingly this is the one thing I would say Trump (or his minions) are 100% correct on. And it will be interesting if the Home Office can be reigned in on this one and accept the reality. Or will they drag another government into the fight against reality they seem to have made their mission now ?

With the OSA already coughing up blood and smelling like something next doors cat left in your garden, this is (yet) another easy win for the Reformistas.

As one wit noted: It took Donald Trump to do what common sense couldn't

@DuncinToffee you can see where she's coming from Paddington was from Peru and his visa status has never been adequately clarified and the late Queen was descended from immigrants. But this rural voter thinks her policies are nuts.

I hope they were told ' Away and boil yer heids , ya wee jobbies.' by the scoutmaster.

More batshit

Reform is planning to blacklist Mauritius over the Chagos deal and Tice is calling for more men patrolling the street to protect women.

Since it’s men we normally need protecting from that seems counterproductive.

Epecially the 'concerned' citizen types

The sort of men who would relish this role are exactly the sort us women need to be protected from.
