Pull up a chair for some friendly chit chat about politics and beyond

Taxes optional but greatly appreciated.

I live quite locally - wish I'd been out to see it 🤣

What was the arrest charge?

DuncinToffee · 17/09/2025 09:17

Suspicion of malicious communications.

Hmm

So it's apparently ok for Musk to incite violence and insurrection on a big screen in the UK but it's not ok for an individual to display filming in public that puts senior US and UK citizens in a less than good light?
Hmmm

Two tier policing, it seems 🤔

placemats · 17/09/2025 10:00

So the four arrested displayed images that are indecent and grossly offensive? On that I agree!

I am not a fan of the Royals, but this photo of Charles and Camilla made me warm to them for a moment. Their expressions say so much.

Poor Camilla was too sick yesterday to attend a funeral. She was obviously resting up for this. Putting on her game face.

MsJinks · 17/09/2025 14:13

Why is melania in black? And why does her hat match the orange one’s tie?
About the best/politest I can find to comment on in relation to this abomination visiting the U.K.

Sorry you’re ill @BIossomtoes Sad

They have that expression you have when you're waiting for the bus and the guy stood next to you stinks but you're too polite to say anything.

PandoraSocks · 17/09/2025 15:11

Oh no @BIossomtoes hope you feel better soon.

I have a question. Is the Fabian Society the latest subject of far right conspiracy theories?

I have seen it mentioned here and there on SM in a negative way and was puzzled, really. Then I saw a tweet from Yaxley-Lennon which read:

We unite against the insidious and cancerous forces of the Fabian Society.

Which might explain things, but it is a new one on me.

BIossomtoes · 17/09/2025 14:48

The video is even better. Check out the King’s face. It’s entertained me as I’m confined to our hotel room - only I could get ill on holiday.

Sorry to hear you're ill, rubbish at any time, let alone on holiday!

Yes, I've noticed the proliferation of the Fabian paranoia theory.

Why choose a landlord to lead this "report" ?

Trumps speech to the journalists on his flight over told me everything I needed to know.

For Trump this is a “everyone loves me” photo OP.

He’s becoming more of a slime ball everyday of possible

PickAChew · 17/09/2025 15:37

I'm sitting on a rather hot bus that ain't going anywhere due to a bust wing mirror 😩

Sorry you're ill, @BIossomtoes - rotten timing.

I had a little Google and all I could really find was what seems to be a self-published book by an "independent" historian. The blurb is definitely on the paranoid side!
