And incase anyone was still doubting the BBC was run by Lefties, their Bite Size teacher guides for kids describes Communism without mentioning dictatorships and mass killings of actual communist regimes, while describing Capitalism as exploitation of workers. Surprised they don't just stick a red flag on top of Broadcasting House. 🚩

Nice to get an insight into the other sites you visit Alfred, I agree the would do to mention the horrors of enforced communism. But its fair to point out the horrors of capitalism. We have oligarchs sending their girlfriends and her mates into the clouds on billion pound rockets they own. Meanwhile he stays on the ground to make sure that non of his workforce form a union to stop people on 12 hour shifts and minimum wage with no toilet breaks having to piss in bottles.

A few points worth pointing out:

1. Capitalism can have its ugly moments, but it doesn't begin to compare with the horrors of communism which has killed tens (hundreds?) of millions of human beings.

Capitalism: No horrors; occasionally ugly and a bit unfair. Communism: Horrific, brutal, and murderous.

2. The stupid suborbital spaceflights are a waste of time, money, and fuel, and I'm OK if someone wants to make fun of the vacuous celebrities who take the ride. But the rocket didn't cost billions, and if a rich person wants to spend their money on exotic toys, that's their right. And I'm sure everyone is aware of the lavish lifestyles enjoyed by top party members of communist parties.

3. Bezos doesn't always stay on the ground. He's flown on the rocket developed by his company.

4. Amazon pays much more than minimum wage, and federal law mandates regular breaks. The company also offers free university tuition for its employees.

What has Starmer been up to with Ali?
His wife has bugered off, he's buggered *** and there's video apparently.
No denial and an emergency HQ mystery meeting.
Is it big or BS, you decide.

BS.
Have you seen the *video*?
It's laughable.

It's not going away like the usual shit spreading rumours.
No legal action against those claiming it's true.
Time will tell.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
Don't ask Starmer, he doesn't know one from t'other.

Let's hear your definition of a woman then?
Go on. If it's so easy...

Trump threatening to walk unless Ukraine accept loss of their sovereign territory to the Russian aggressor,
Talk of "building a stronger" Russia FFS
So, when he said Peace on day one, he meant Surrender on day 100.
He's going to go down in history.
And not in a good way.

Baldrick: Woman - not India Willoughby.

I was doing a crossword yesterday and one of the clues was "What all women used to be". The answer was Girls. Seems to sum it up nicely.

Or have young men needlessly die every day ad infinitum.
Land grabbing has gone on since man picked up a rock.
Think about the word 'kingdom in the United Kingdom.

This is rich, coming from you, the sniper in chief!
You repeatedly mocked the Prime Minister for struggling to answer a question which you have proven totally and completely unable to answer yourself.

Eh?
So war is both terrible and futile but also inevitable and perfectly natural? Last bit makes no sense either. Yes, the UK has a king. So what?
