There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

If you listened to the gentleman you'd know that he is not ranting. You are basing your entire opinion on one misspelled word in Caps. Sounds a bit pompous of you as well as closed minded but that's not my problem. However I will listen to your recommendation too, I'll keep my mind open.
Lastly I think you will find the Gentleman speaking is not the person who posted the tweet.
So if the poster does not know how to spell does the affect the content of the message of the speaker?
Or did you not know that anyone can add captions to video content on x?

It’s often said of religion that the biggest factor behind people either converting to a faith or losing it isn’t a rational assessment of the arguments on each side, but rather the respect they have for those making the arguments.
I haven’t listened to the video, although I’m broadly sympathetic to concerns about mass immigration, including the implications of a Muslim majority being reached. But if you’re going to campaign on the issue and try to raise awareness, it makes sense not to leave yourself wide open to ad hominem attacks about your literacy, since the perceived respectability of those making the case tends to matter more in changing minds than the content of the argument itself.If you’re a pedant…….There I finished the final sentence for you.
I don't think it's pedantry. A good chance I would agree with some if not all he had to say. But I didn't listen to it because putting 'SPEACH' in capitals tells me he isn't very bright and I won't have much to learn from him.

The state will fucking love this. Political fuckeries to distract the media while they quietly get on with rolling out their country-fucking policies and processes.THUNDERCLINT wrote: ↑12 Nov 2025, 09:26 So the labour party civil war is now under way after Lucy "grooming gangs are a racist dog whistle" Powell fired the opening shot this week.
Looks like the parliamentary MPs have cottoned on they need to move to the right to keep their seats but the grass roots will only vote for a candidate further left that Kweer.
The budget will sink their approval rating into single figures.
We're moving towards a poll tax moment. Likely that the protests against the illegal gimmigrants will evolve into a movement to remove the government as it now becomes more and more disfunctional.
REFORM 2027.

Call me racist, Islamaphobic whatever the fuck you want, I don't care. But the Muslims are on a crusade the sooner people wake the fuck up the better.
Ban Sharia Law should be the first step, stop all the handouts, deport all the illegals and all of those that have committed a crime. Any rapists need to be deported along with their immediate family members. Any cսnt that shows up in a boat gets deported and permanently banned from ever being allowed in.
Ban the Burqa and ban Islam from being taught in schools. Monitor all the Imams and Mosques and Ban praying in the streets.
Any cսnt like Goose who throws their arms up in the air screaming racism throw them in Jail for being a mincy wanker.
That's what I'm hoping Farage does when he is elected.
Fingers crossed.

Maybe I'm missing something but do those that govern us really think that this army of young blokes will be eternally grateful to them for accommodating them? Or is it a case of they'll be protected by their money or dead from old age so whatever goes off will be of no consequence to them. There has to be a reason why this is being allowed to happen but I'm fucked if I know what that reason is.
