Ukraine is obviously a massive part of UK foreign policy, so a perfectly suitable topic for this thread in my opinion.

forkboy84 posted:Not really, because every Ukraine thread I've seen is absolute loving dogshit. And tbh I would rather talk about it with UKMTers rather than braindead liberals, for example. But if the thread doesn't want to have it then fine, we can stick to safe ground where everyone agrees on like Boris bad. Most leaders have short man syndrome or some similar chip on their shoulder giving them that desperate, sociopathic edge over the competition.

Lucky sunak is also of normal height and no efforts are ever made to fake this fact in photography because it is a fact and doesn't need faking.

People talk a lot about how Boris is “more cunning than he seems” or how his persona is “carefully managed” and so on but it’s bullshit isn’t it. That photo is trump taco bowl levels of embarrassing. He skates by on sheer audacity.

I mean it's a call in show so it's a trash fire because the public are a trash fire, and the presenters are also generally garbo because you can't run a talk show where you're actually right or knowledgeable about things because you would do nothing but scream at idiots on the phone.

Nick Ferrari is an insufferable Tory boomer and in the past they've employed Nigel Farage, Katie Hopkins and Maajid Nawaz among others but the current crop of presenters all seem mostly-ok, at least as far as talk-radio hosts go. I concur that as a whole the station was/is very anti-corbyn, but that's kinda what you'd expect from a mainstream talk-radio station. blunt fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Oct 22, 2022 |

A couple of weeks ago a guy I work with was complaining that none of the top government jobs was held by a white man. We truly are the forgotten underclass. Not surprised he isn't running, looks like he'd be winded walking up a small flight of stairs.

One of the fascinating things about historical events is that liberals who opposed them at the time pretend to have supported them after the fact. Everything from the Iraq war protests to the civil rights movement. Hindsight huh. Brendan Rodgers fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Oct 22, 2022 |

Conservative right-wing racist twitter is on fire tonight with angry tweets about Boris not standing, and the strong chance that Rishi may end up as PM by default. If he becomes PM, the party will really start to implode... but not for any racist reasons, oh no, of course not....

If he becomes PM, the party will really start to implode... but not for any racist reasons, oh no, of course not.... I'm Indian and I know a lot of Indian right wingers, the Tories would gain a lot of votes if they accepted Rishi. Class is the key thing, and a lot of asians in the UK consider themselves in the upper class now even if the English aristocracy would never give them the time of day. Doctors and lawyers especially. A lot of words could be written about the caste system in India and the countries around modern India, but it is essentially just classism, just more codified. They may lose more votes from white people than they gain from brown people of course.

That's about £1 per commuter and surely if someone is going to buy a poppy they'll still buy it just maybe not in London on Nov 3rd, maybe on Nov 4th or Nov 1st or whatever, or even on Nov 3rd but jut not in London. So I don't see how they will actually lose anything at all. Either you're a poppy buyer or you're not.
