Exactly this. You would have to have a heart of stone not to be appalled at the butchery inflicted by both sides against the other on innocent people and the pictures of the desolate remains of the Gaza Strip which stands as yet more testimony against man’s inhumanity against his fellow man. As has been said many times on this thread, there are no goodies and baddies here, just a bloodlust from the extremists on both sides of the divide and piles of innocent dead bodies of the people who have paid the price for the warped ideologies of others. Neither side can claim any moral high ground.

Dumb and Dumber - Trump and Musk both like to spout “alternative facts” when the real facts don’t suit their narratives. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/economy/2025/2/21/musk-vows-to-fix-x-after-polls-show-high-support-for-ukraines-zelenskyy

Which is the big issue here. Safe and legal routes are very limited which is why people are risking their lives crossing the channel. They need to be here to apply for asylum.

It is not illegal to seek asylum here, dummy. They were foreigners escaping persecution. Why didn’t they go the first safe country? You are ok with Ukrainians coming here but not Muslim’s fleeing war torn countries. By the way, you might not listen to Katie Hopkins but you sound just like her in your posts. So…let’s pretend that Putin invades the UK and you decide to take yourself and your family to safety. You can speak Italian and have a support network in Italy. You get in a small boat and escape to France, the first safe country. You cannot speak French and have no support network there. Does it makes sense for you and your family to stay there are to try and get to Italy where it will be easier for you to relocate?

The trouble is in his own reality anything that doesn’t confirm his omnipotence and all encompassing wonderfulness is fake. He is a 100% pure gold narcissist and it won’t even enter his head that he is not both universally loved and brilliant.

This sums up the current situation perfectly. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/19/kyivs-white-house-wooing-implodes-as-zelenskyy-tells-the-truth-about-trump

You spend too far much time listening to the likes of Farage and Katie Hopkins. By your logic the Kindertransport children would have been turned back at Dover. By your logic we would not be liable to take any asylum seekers at all.

Not a day goes by when this moron doesn’t embarrass himself and anyone with any level of basic intelligence and humanity. How does it come to this?

Talking of Dictators… https://www.euronews.com/2025/02/19/trump-calls-zelenskyy-a-dictator-slamming-kyiv-leadership 🙄

For those who don’t believe that Trump is Putin’s puppet. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9814k2jlxko.amp

I may have missed it but where exactly is Rory Stewart having a “hissy fit” and claiming that Rishi Sunak is British but not English? The person in the video is not Rory Stewart.

More far right buffoonery. And people here in the UK lap it up. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/feb/18/nigel-farage-jordan-peterson-co-worship-each-other-in-alt-right-heaven

Ah bless you for being concerned. No need to worry though. I have spent the last couple of hours making a courgette, apple and ginger chutney. It’s my first effort at making chutney so fingers crossed eh?

I don’t know if it is true or not but there is a rumour doing the rounds that, during Trump’s phone call to Putin he said something like…”You run a cool country, I run a cool country. Let’s carve up the rest of the world”. No surprise that he is sending a Real Estate expert to Ukraine and Gaza under the guise of a senior diplomat.

And you have found yours with Turkish.

Is east-stand-nic actually Turkish II? 🤔

So, in Duckieworld, all of the parents who sent their children to the country during the Blitz were cowards for not letting them stay and get bombed? All of the Jewish people who fled Nazi Germany were cowards because they didn’t stay and get murdered? Trying to avoid being bombed or killed is not cowardice, it is called self preservation. There is a huge difference between being a combatant and a civilian.

So Badenoch is hitching her wagon to the Trump/Vance/Musk brigade. No policies just populism. Invent enemies and then whip up the hatred. It clearly works for some. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/feb/17/kemi-badenoch-western-civilisation-will-be-lost-tory-party-fails So our Kemi is intolerant about someone taking the knee against racial intolerance? Are we now expected to take to the streets to fight against pronouns? We have one Farage. We don’t need another one.

As I tried to explain to you before, this was the post that prompted my contribution to this thread. If you hadn’t mentioned me (by association) then I wouldn’t have bother to respond to your stupid comment about vaccines. Get an adult to explain it to you if you still have trouble getting your head around it.

I am currently reading an article about multiple universes and now fear that I have woken up in another one.

I seem to remember him rambling on about what you should do if you are in a boat that is sinking. The choice was go into the water and risk a shark attack or stick with the boat and risk getting electrocuted.

Probably not, but he is responsible for the cash. I can’t speak for him or his feelings of course, but I can’t imagine anyone feeling comfortable in a business where you are judged on the result of a football match once or twice a week and sitting there a few feet away from the thousands of people judging you when you are losing so frequently.

I made the mistake of responding to a MAGA person on another social media platform yesterday. He got very upset when I criticised Trump, Vance and Musk and went on at great length about what a felon Biden is (ignoring Trump’s felonies). He ended up by saying we should butt out of US affairs (ignoring the fact that Trump is currently meddling in European and Middle Eastern affairs himself) but did concede that there were three things that he liked about the UK. Margaret Thatcher, Beef Wellington and Benny Hill.

I posted after you had referred to “SOG 11.” As you are aware, my user name is Sadoldgit, often referred to as SOG. The reference uses my user name does it not? I wouldn’t have bothered otherwise. I know that conspiracy theorists have deep cognitive issues, but surely even a challenged person like yourself should be able to understand this? Maybe not. Just post a laughing emoji if you understand what I have said.

Ah, but you are wrong multiple badgers. I am often embarrassed that I bother to respond to some of the deeply unpleasant people here and on other social media platforms. When I draw my final breath I will regret not taking this advice. Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
