I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,996

Well, less patriotic, in the traditional sense of the term it appears, yes. Look around you at today's society. The old Great Britain is being torn apart by people in power who are ashamed of it and some of them actually hate this country.

We get lectured regularly on this forum (usually by Billy Bunter, bless him!) that just because someone has a problem with immigrants doesn't mean they're racist, which I have no probklem with. By the same token just because somebody questions or is critical of some aspect of Britain's past (some of which is a bit dodgy) doesn't mean they somehow hate Britain or ashamed of it. It's ridiculously reductive.

I predicted two arrogant buttholes like Trump and Musk would fall out after about six months

Musk just called Trump's new tax cut and spending bill a "disgusting abomination"

My point exactly.

Is this what Vance meant by "free speech"

Miles Taylor: I Criticized President Trump. Now He is Accusing Me of Treason

I served in the first Trump Administration and sounded the alarm about the abuses of power I saw firsthand, first by blowing the whistle anonymously and then publicly. I warned that if Trump returned to power, he would use the presidency to punish his critics. This warning was not rhetorical. I said it would be a "revenge machine" against individuals and institutions alike.

Since then, the Trump White House has been busy proving my point.

The President issued his order on April 9 suspending my security clearance and instructing DHS to conduct an investigation of my time in government. As he did, he suggested that I was guilty of treason--a crime punishable by death--and that the Attorney General should likewise investigate. Trump teased years ago that he would punish me for speaking out, and now back in office, he has followed through on the threat, indifferent to First Amendment protections.

But this is much bigger than me. This is about whether we will allow the President--any president, of any political party--to criminalize criticism. That's why this Inspector General complaint matters.

I've been forced to step away from my job because the blacklisting makes it impossible for me to carry out my work. My family faces the prospect of financial ruin because of legal costs, so we've had to set up a legal defense fund. Threats have rolled in against us, including from stalkers who have harassed and doxxed us. Friends have distanced themselves for fear of retribution. A top DHS official was even fired after photos were circulated showing that in 2019 he attended my wedding. And the Justice Department has used the President's order against me to justify the removal of protections for journalists, making it easier for authorities to get search warrants against news outlets.

Speak out against the President- and get threatened with jail, even death and your life gets destroyed

F**king nazi pigs

There has been a 'Free Palestine' march in Leeds every Saturday since the evil Hamas jumped over the fence and murdered over 1000 innocent people.
If they are filmed or documented, they get nasty.
If any other march appears with Union Jacks, they chant Nazi scum get off our streets. They follow that with chants of 'from the river to the sea.....
Which literally means, kill every jew.
The irony is off the scale.

It literally doesn't.
Interestingly in Likud's first election manifesto it states " ...between the sea and the Jordan there will be only Israeli sovereignty",
And these Union Jack holding marches that 'appear' - they wouldn't happen to be there as a counter demonstration, would they?
People who have specially. come out to antagonise the pro-Palestine marchers.
In which case they would expect a rather frosty reception, wouldn't they.

It literally does - they say it.
The chant is obvious what it means, but it is still chanted every Saturday in every big city.
You can't make excuses for every lefty act.
Nazis off our streets - who historically cleared the streets?
Clear out Israel - don't pretend to be naive

To be fair, Lofty, the world and his wife predicted Trump and Musk would fall out. I myself did a rather good Dexter gag about it, but modesty prevents me from reposting it now.

Although to be fair to Musk (which we shouldn't be because he is horrible), it does sound like he was completely off his tits on ketamine when he boarded the Trump kamikaze express.

Hesgeth (the drunkard in charge of the US military) has ordered the navy to rename a ship, named in honour of Harvey Milk , a gay rights activist who was murdered

He waited until Pride Month to do it to cause extra offence no doubt

If you're not a white heterosexual Christian who wears a stupid f**king red baseball hat - f**k you, that's the message from the fat racist shithead in the Whitehouse

I repeat, f**king filthy Nazi pigs

Their actions on October 7th - murdering, raping, and killing more than 1200 men, women, and children - speaks for itself. Just this week there were two targeted attacks by their supporters upon Jews in the United States, so the blood lust isn't confined to Israel. Setting an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor on fire is not a peaceful protest.

Hamas is not supported by people who want to live in peace with Jews. It is supported by people who want to kill Jews.

Clearly Hamas are murdering swine.
But we're not talking about Hamas, we're talking about the Palestinian people and those who support their right to have their own country.
I don't believe a whole people can be judges by the actions of one group.
I wouldn't dream of judging you by the actions of your President.
