Holly Valance from neighbours has donated 50k to reform. The mind boggles.

Used to be a fan and loved the last episode of neighbours where she was in London.

Stop the world I want to get off.

"Stop the world I want get off"

Please.

@TheThingIsYeah

she hasn't been back since the OP, so maybe she did

TabbyBeast · 22/06/2024 17:29

Every time I see her I just remember she's a cousin of Benny Hill and that's all I can see

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is under fire after reiterating he blames the West and NATO for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Surely, that's the same argument made by Seumas Milne in 2015;

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/mar/04/demonisation-russia-risks-paving-way-for-war

Six months later, Seumas Milne was appointed executive director of strategy and communications for the Labour party - a post he held for nearly five years.

Did Keir Starmer and friends complain at the time?

I thought it was a pretty mainstream view that the West’s actions had contributed to the Ukraine war?

Absolutely not. It is propaganda by the genocidal despot Putin whom Farage is in thrall of used as an excuse to invade a sovereign nation Ukraine.

So weird, to suddenly dislike someone because of their political opinions, this is why discussions are difficult to have because of people's irrational responses.

It’s not irrational as a woman and mother of sons to dislike somebody who says rapists and sex traffickers are great role models for teen boys. It would be more irrational to overlook that.

Do you know them personally? I have no opinion on her, I liked her song when I was a kid and that's all I can say as I don't know her.

No, I don't know her personally, just judging the demonic gremlin on her own words.

It’s not propaganda, it’s been reported in the broadsheets. The West is not wholly responsible for Putin’s expansionism but we have contributed by supporting Putin’s opponents.

That’s pretty much the USA’s MO innofticular.

Sorry, had to Google what you were on about.

I dont think you can agree with politicians 100% of the time. For example; Corbyn had some reasonable policies and some very unreasonable ones. The amount of rubbish he spewed in-between on his personal opinions, made him dislikeable but like Farage, they say controversial things to get frame.
I wouldn't actively dislike someone who donated to either candidate.

No, I’m talking about from 2+ years ago, not Farage.

If all you can fall to is standard insults then you're not worth arguing with, don’t waste my time.

And if you’re going to correct typos, it’s broadsheets, not boardsheet.

2+ years ago when when Putin invaded Ukraine. So what does that tell you?

You misunderstand. I wasn't correcting any typos. I was just quoting you. You mean 'tabloid' really.

How can you be quoting me when I said broadsheets not boardsheet?

You crowing about typos shows your petty mentality. Don’t post more petty responses to me, I’m not interested.

And yes the articles from 2 years ago tell me there was an acknowledgement that the West’s actions had contributed to Putin’s expansionism, rightly or wrongly.

blueshoes · 22/06/2024 19:26

@countcalculia you are finding offence where there is none. As this is not the thread to debate Putin, I shall leave you to it.

Livelovebehappy · 22/06/2024 19:35

coffeandteav · 22/06/2024 12:57

It is because the leader wasn't democratically elected.

Neither were Sunak and Starmer.

Holly Valance? Who gives a shiny fuck. She's married to Nick Candy ffs. Confused

Possibly because Reform are just BNP with a barely there veneer of respectability

Possibly because their leader thinks Andrew Tate and Trump are good eggs

Possibly because their policies look like something written by a racist school boy who never studied maths never mind economics

To be fair, a lot of Americans think Trump is a 'good egg' too. The polls are putting him miles ahead of Biden. But then again a goat would look like a better option than Biden. It's a disgrace that the man is still president.

We are all free to vote for a party that we believe in - no judgment

Yes of course you have a right to judge someone for their political beliefs. That's how free speech works.

No educated Americans I know think Trump is a good egg. I spend a lot of time there and they are all deeply embarrassed by him and appalled that people vote for him.
