I really don’t understand why someone from Labour hasn’t come out and made a statement about everything people were lied to about Brexit , and who lied to them.
And, equally, the devastating effect it’s had on our living standards.
There’s nowt wrong with telling people they made a mistake due to being lied to, especially since most of the fuckwits that voted for now realise that’s the case.
It’s all perfectly provable, and they could use parliamentary privilege if they were unduly worried about Farage sueing or whatever, because he’s No. 1 suspect here.
Until somebody does the country will remain fucked. Amongst all Starmer’s failings the refusal to tell the truth about Brexit is the most damaging and the most depressing
I fucking despise the cowardly cunt

Also we've spent centuries exploiting Africa and the sub continent. Bit harsh to turn them away now

We live as nation states though. If you're arguing open borders then nah, I don't agree. We had the best arrangement with the EU with FoM. But the EU and UK needs to have external borders with the rest of the world and not allow unfettered economic migration from the developing world.
It's not good for those countries either, us cream skimming their most educated people. Surely the best thing to do would be to pull up living standards in India and Africa? That will also decrease their own birth rate which is needed because of climate change etc.
We had open borders with Europe and that helped raise the living standards in the less well of states. Surely that's the best evidence available that open borders is a good thing
An influx of healthy young workers who send money home then return when they've made some money is what happens in the majority of cases. Not to conflate economic refugees with asylum seekers whom I assume you wouldn't turn away

I'm fairly agnostic to whether it's a good thing or not tbh, but clearly a lot of people don't think it is which is leading to Reform etc. And I'm unsure how sustainable it is, surely a population should be approximately self replacing? Surely it's wrong young adults can't experience the joys (and misery) of parenthood due to barriers imposed so we just have immigration to fill the gaps?
Of course the impact of AI remains to be seen. Fuck knows what the future holds tbh.
The best way to beat reform is to have some policies designed to help the worse off rather than benefit the corperations and protect the rich
The world's population is expanding repaidly, its a mistake to think in narrow nationalist terms

Without indigenous young people, you need to import people from places like India and Africa to fill the gap. Over time this will undoubtedly change the demographic makeup of the country
This would be a good thing in my opinion
There also plenty of Eurooeans who could be "imported"
My kids are both in their 30's. I'd be astonished if either of them became parents

Bit of a minor board maintenance thing but can everyone please check their TT emails are up to date?
With a load of DMs floating about lately for people to get access to the discord the admin mailbox has had a ton of "undeliverable email" notices when people receive DMs and an email goes out automatically.
@Gemmill @Kevin Carr's Gloves @Toonpack & @spongebob toonpants you're the most recent ones I can see a few for.It must have been at least 15 years since I had that email address 🤣

The problems in the ME, like countless wars and conflicts before them, all stem from religion
The problems all stem from earlier British imperialism and more recently USA imperialism, and exploitation of resources mainly oil
The West created these fundamentalists. Same as it ever was

Saw the mighty Osees last night.
The twin drummer thing really works, absolutely mesmerising. It was loud it was propulsive, the audience was jumping. A great night
On the down side I've got a fucking stinking hangover, can't remember getting home. Getting too old for excessive drinking

Aye, exactly. During the halcyon days of Dan Ashworth. Back when people had transfers to talk about in the transfer thread.
It's depressing reading posts from pensioners talking about the music of their youth tbh.
Hey man, you need to get down and get with it

A person who in theory can be removed in an election. A country which in principle is a democracy and part of the international rules based order. Now, these are under massive stress at the moment because elected officials like Trump and Netanyahu are in actual fact autocratic trying to break the system. But there is a chance of reversal here through democratic mechanisms.
What's happening with the US and Israel is very disturbing. But it doesn't change what Iran is. Hive me the option, I'd much rather live in Washington DC or Tel Aviv than Tehran. I suspect you would too.
Iran was a fully functioning democracy before the CI A and the UK staged a couple because the democratically elected government voted to renationalise the oil fields that the UK and the US were exploiting.
They installed a puppet monarch which lead inevitably to revolution
It always comes down to oil in the end

The Giro this year was great because it was competitive.
The Giro was epic this year. Felt for Del Toro because he really deserved it and seemed his team never fancied him and then fucked up tactically big style.
But it was so exciting when Yates went away on the penultimate stage
You're right of course. Much more interesting when you don't know whose strongest. Del Toro cracking then coming back the next day. Carapaz looking like the strongest then Yates sneaking it
Great stuff

I know it's probably wrong, but I love watching Pogacar. Much prefer him to Vingegaard
He's just so much fun.
Based on nothing I reckon they are all on the same sort of preparation these days, I'm not as obsessed by it as I was in the Armstrong days
I'm quite enjoying the Pog, Vingegaard, Remco, Roglic era

How has what they have done made any Jewish people safer, I will never understand this.
It's not about making Isreal safe, it's all about keeping Netanyahu in power.
