[Nuthatch26]

A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government. 🥀

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Oh wow. Why was that deleted fgs? Its getting silly now.

I often wonder if something is looked at before it's deleted.

Re ai accusations. I just assume that the poster has a good grasp of the English language and can spell.

I don't use AI ever for the same reason I won't drive a modern automatic car etc. I'm trying to hang onto the skill set I learnt in my youth. This dumbing down does concern me.

Speaking of recent arrivals, who else has seen the footage of the father(?) just dumping a tiny half-downed child with a rescuer and fucking off at speed to the waiting dinghy? He's like "seeya prick, off to Blightly", no idea if the little child is even okay or not and clearly cares less.

Wish I knew your comment. Always appreciate your insights.

I love that I recognise you and Eastern Standard and Nuthatch, etc.

Me? I keep name changing.

Me.
Another real gem of humankind headed for our shores, actually probably already here.

Where's the outrage?

Really? God thats vile. I'm not on X as you know. I couldn't cope with viewing videos like that. POS.
I still haven't got over the images of the baby being dangled by one arm. But yeah, they're all lovely men asylum seekers fleeing France war and persecution. Be kind.

Do we ever know what happened to the baby? I know there wasn't the same furore over that as there has been over a dinghy being slashed.

I don't know, but I dread to think what life he/she has had up to that point.
Of course there wasn't the same furore on MN. They're too busy defending the men.

I genuinely hope the poor mite is now safe with French social services and that they fail to track down his excuse for "parents" and he is fostered/adopted by a lovely couple in France.

These men will still continue to be protected at all costs.

Taken into care in France, I believe.

But a slow puncture of a boat... empty until someone 5 seconds previously stepped onto it from another boat which was still sitting there... someone clearly very relaxed and in no danger... is far, far worse than abandoning a toddler bobbing in deep waves, in a scrum for a boat.

<crickets>

Oh I've just been told but last year, there was an entirely different outcome with another child being saved by the parents! The denial of the scale of the problem with these crossings is unbelievable.

What on another thread?

There will be little, if any condemnation of the parents on MN. These men are always the victims in their eyes, no matter what they do.

Yes. Deny and distract.

A depressing and worrying perspective.

Frightening but isn't that the plan?

Totally.

Lionel Shriver’s take in the Spectator:

I am always impressed how she articulates common sense…and yet we live in a world where you have to be brave to express it.

The Spectator keeps me sane. No wonder Douglas Murray often features.

I subscribe, but the don’t give me share tokens, so I have to find the articles archived to share with you guys.

I keep feeling quite depressed (or is it angry and helpless) when I look at the newspapers. Usually it's the contrast between headlines next to each other.
Yesterday - telegraph. Bond sell off continues alongside Andy talking about letting football fans drink again. Excellent tacking the really big problems Andy eh.
I mean between that and the bus fares, you've nearly got it all sewn up.

How wonderful would it be to wake up to headlines - 2000 brits employed to protect our borders or Defence spending raised to 5% in budget or Face to face interviews with all benefit claimants to eliminate fraud or £100bn allocated to investment in UK. You get the drift. Strong actions for important problems

I didn't have high hopes for AB anyway when he got in. I mean he looks like a nice bloke who just wants to keep everyone happy. Not a good quality for a PM.
I'm honestly starting to think he is not going to last long at all.

@HowIMissTheMinersStrikes those headlines would be amazing!
