[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.

What on earth is the point of that?

Labour just saying any old performative thing so that they can avoid taking a genuine stance, or putting their own cowardly arses on the line for what's right.

I don't know, but I detect a little panic in Philipson's statement. Perhaps Labour are hoping the greens will back pedal to their previous level of anti semitism to make life easier for everyone.

Its quite a lengthy statement, I just posted the bit that stood out to me tbf.

Dd found it on X and sent it to me.

Jeremy Corbyn on ✖️ thinks it's wonderful and about time too

Of course he does 🙄

That doesn't sound good. Is it on X? I haven't seen anything yet.

I've just seen this on X - a huge amount of anger. Gosport locked down and the police out en masse to transport these men safetly to wherever it is they are taking them.

Actually, that seems a pretty decent statement.

Still don't see much pointing asking them to say it won't be their position, when they've just said it is. But I guess they felt they had to actually ask.

Thanks for posting that.

Found this on local press. The local ambulance service say they are not there to assess the migrants, but to support police.

Yeah, I don't see the point either. They've made their position clear. Wishful thinking on Phillipson's part perhaps.

Was watching the livestream from Gosport as local to where my parents live.
Locals are desperate - these are working class people who’ve always assumed that the police are fair, that the law supports those who obey the law.
People are bewildered, hurt, confused, angry.

USA have withdrawn all of their bombers from RAF Fairford. Not good.

I would feel the same if this was happening on my doorstep.

Anyone else have the sense we're living in the authored-by-Lionel-Shriver timeline?
Everything is both so shitty and degraded, and so incredibly stupid.

There as got to be more to this story than what the press are able to report.

Utter wanker.

Everyone is tying themselves in knots trying to come out of this smelling of roses.

Perfectly put.

I lost faith in the police many years ago, which is sad.

My OH son is in the Met - utterly disillusioned - joined wanting to be an actual policeman but the management is either cynical or incompetent or both.

Labour need the greens to look paletable for possible election collab

Also….
AB Man City links.
Man City corruption.
UAE investment in Man City.
Lots to see here.

There are so many worrying things about the state of this country. Not least the fact that every day we are importing hundreds of people that we know nothing about and absorbing them into communities, housing them, giving them immediate access to the NHS etc. I just despair. Especially when the Conservatives were in power for so many years and did nothing.

They can’t do much about it as the Green members determine policy. Listening to Vox pops outside the conference I’m not surprised at the voting on it.

Whilst I’m on a rant this morning, this ugly rise in anti-semitism totally sickens me. I have a friend in London and a few years ago when all the marches started, I said this is just going to lead to ant-semitism.

we can do nothing to influence what is happening in the ME. Absolutely nothing. We are a country that can’t even control our own borders. Weak.

And whatever one thinks of the Man City situation, we will no longer get be seen as a “friendly” country by the UAE. Goodbye to billions in inward investment that will go elsewhere. Realpolitik.

…And the American planes have gone….
