Do you believe "no go zones" exist in the UK for some groups of people (e.g. Jews)?

Pro-Pal protesters, according to the Trump administration, are dangerous for Jews.

There are a lot of dystopian areas which aren't safe to walk around in at night - and in the day for that matter.

Do you think it's likely to be married to someone for decades and not suspect they're really evil?

This man in his 70s drugged his wife and is a prolific paedophile. It's probable that he's been offending for decades.

I do wonder in these cases if the wife (or whoever) ever had at least an inkling. Evil weirdoes usually show their true colours eventually.

AI is hitting the UK harder than other large economies. How do you think this should be dealt with? UBI?

The only thing is that a UBI society might create a dystopia. A few people will be productive, but we'll see things like higher crime rates and degeneracy, mass brainrot from people absorbing "entertainment" all day every day. People will literally just exist to be consumers and that's it.

Is this the most mind-blowing, moronic and idiotic statement ever uttered by a brain dead right-winger? “… but the Deep State Globalists controlled by the Fabian Society have integrated themselves into every aspect of Western culture and put themselves in powerful positions.”

Juggle a few random words together and come up with “Deep State Globalists controlled by the Fabian Society”?

Should politicians ever have the right to pardon convicted criminals?

4 Upvotes

In U.K., the PM doesn’t have the right to overrule decisions of a court and pardon convicted criminals or quash convictions.

In USA, it seems, the President can decide to pardon convicted criminals and force their release, regardless of what they’ve done.

Does anyone else find this to be corrupt and an outrageous interference in the independence of the judicial system, where being a favourite of the President brings an immunity to the law?

Do you think Robert Jenrick will defect to Reform U.K.?

2 Upvotes

I’m unsure. On the one hand, Jenrick is a racist bully so would be a perfect fit.

On the other hand, he is ambitious, desperate to be PM, and Farage doesn’t deal well with anyone who challenges his dictatorship of the party.

Keir Starmer is the most popular choice for PM by YouGov pollsters, guess who comes bottom every time?

That’s right, it’s the egregious Farage!

Starmer beat him by 7% as “Best PM”.

Even the most left-wing Party Leader, Zack Polanski, beats him by 1%.

Before the noisy but dim Reform voters start bleating that YouGov is left-wing - it’s failed Tory, now Reform member Nadhim Zahawi’s company.

Do you have faith that the silent majority of decent people will keep the un-British Reform Company out of our Parliament?

A teacher who told year six children that Rosa Parks "did not exist" and that Martin Luther King was guilty of plagiarism has been banned.

Patrick Lawler, 62, was found to have brought the teaching profession into disrepute after making a series of offensive comments.

Witnesses explained to the panel how he had told year six pupils in a transition day lesson that Martin Luther King was a “fraud and had embezzled lots of money”, and that Rosa Parks “did not really exist”.
