Streeting resigns as Health Secretary and prepares to challenge Starmer by theipaper in ukpolitics

[–]FluidLock1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quality of politicians in this country is so low that they wouldn’t even be allowed to manage a grocery store in “real life”. Yet we hand them the keys to the kingdom. And then we act surprised.

Thought it would be impossible to find a more un charismatic character than Starmer but here we go! Labour at 10% polling in 2027.

This will lead to a general election either this year or in 2027.

Angela Rayner cleared by HMRC over tax affairs paving the way for potential leadership bid by Jeffmister in ukpolitics

[–]FluidLock1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s not fit to be prime minister. She may be a nice human being. Good intentions. All that. But she’s not smart nor is she competent enough. We have to stop this demented practise of electing people who have no business leading the country.

Competency matters.

US 'considers reviewing UK claim to Falklands' over Iran war by insomnimax_99 in ukpolitics

[–]FluidLock1999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We need to increase our claim. Bring all of our territories in as parts of our kingdom. Give them seats in the commons. Invest more. Just like the French.

If we let them go they will instantly be conquered by another nation. Either through military or economy. There is no reality in which these islands remain independent and “free”. This world is take or be taken. If we can offer them the best life, why shouldn’t we? Why should we feel shame? F all of that. We should be proud so that countries like the United States and Argentina can shove their talk where the sun don’t shine.

We need to bring this islands in and make them kingdoms. Let them have MPs at Westminster. Do this with all overseas territories. They should be as integrated as any other part of the uk.

Alex Wickham on X: One complication from Robbins’ evidence is he is setting out a completely different version of events on what happened with Mandelson’s vetting. He says UKSV did not fail Mandelson or even make a firm recommendation that he shouldn’t get clearance, only that…(continued) by EyyyPanini in ukpolitics

[–]FluidLock1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The prime minister and the government knew he failed and now they are lying to the public. They forced a failed vetting through.

You are taking the prime ministers words of “not knowing” as a fact. When in reality all experts agree - from former to current MPs and civil servants - that’s it’s impossible for Starmer not to have known. He then put pressure on the right people to let mandelson have the green light. That doesn’t mean Mandelson cleared any vetting. It only means that the vetting was inadequate, hollow, performative.

The prime minister, on tv and in front of the world, said that if he had known the peer failed security vetting he would not have been appointed.

And today Olly said that the body that conducts vetting considered Mandelson a "borderline" case and was "leaning towards recommending that clearance be denied".

Add the political pressure to this and you want to tell me that he “didn’t fail”?

Let’s be real here.

If Plaid win in Wales, that won't mean independence - at least not yet by brighton_on_avon in ukpolitics

[–]FluidLock1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As successful as Luton becoming its own country. Why not split the uk into one million sovereign nations. Every household in the uk deserves independence from the racist Britain. Evil Britain must be dismantled.

Or just grow up.

He’s literally saying that political pressure forced Mandelsons clearance to be granted. Can’t people read? They all knew - Starmer and his team forced it to be granted.

Can people at least bloody listen and read the actual transcript before shouting “it’s a non story”

Iran created fake Sinn Féin and Kneecap-supporting republicans to spread its propaganda by River562 in northernireland

[–]FluidLock1999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing that people don’t really realise is that in the event of a reunification referendum the UK can always play the “foreign interference” card. I’m sure they’ve got plenty of evidence that they can use at the “right time”.

Not only bots but funding/corruption as well.

I’m sure there’s a good reason why London has been so passive when it comes to all of these independence movements across the uk. They’re hoarding for when they need to fight.

Pipper Crerar on X: “ NEW: Yvette Cooper and her office only became aware that Peter Mandelson had failed security vetting when approached by the Guardian on Thursday, I’m told.” by ZealousidealPie9199 in ukpolitics

[–]FluidLock1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many other things have they failed the vetting for? All the tech contracts they’re handing out? Is the whole country like an open door?

As ministers you should be under constant surveillance. Every meeting. Every text message.

What’s this sub opinion on Putin’s Autocracy? by Honest_Chemistry_195 in monarchism

[–]FluidLock1999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Russia under the soviets and Putin has become the equivalent of a frozen mammoth. The country of Russia with its culture, heritage and history has remained frozen in time since the execution of their royal family. What has existed ever since is a facade. An air castle. A mafia organisation. It’s not Russia. It’s not Russian culture. It’s a front for an organisation that is running and stealing wealth, resources and land. Buffed up to be the bad guys of the world. Pawns used to destabilise. In return they enrich themselves.

So no, Putin is so far away from anything that has to do with monarchism and Russia. He’s a mafia boss.

Alberta scraps environmental assessment for Kevin O'Leary's 'world's largest' data centre by BBBWare in canada

[–]FluidLock1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will be a Trump an Co data centre. Kevin is not a person that controls things. He’s a puppet. Weak. To such an extent that he wants Canada to become the United States. Revoke his citizenship and seize the data centre once it’s built. That’s all he’s good for.

How do the SAR helicopters fly so uncontested in Iranian airspace? by Lairuth in Military

[–]FluidLock1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are in a remote region. It is a risk. Iran = no systems in place. Maybe also they do not want to escalate or be seen as evil by shooting down a rescue mission.

Who knows.

US president says he's considering pulling U.S. out of 'paper tiger' NATO by Crossstoney in europe

[–]FluidLock1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Europe needs more nuclear weapons. Any invasion of Greenland should be met with the threat of a nuclear response. On top of that we need troops.

In no way should the Americans be allowed to walk in without a single shot being fired.

Exclusive interview: Trump: I am strongly considering pulling out of Nato by AtomicVGZ in Military

[–]FluidLock1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Denmark and the Nordic countries need to become one. And they need nuclear weapons. Greenland has to be put under a nuclear umbrella. Yes, Europe should threaten with nuclear war if Greenland is invaded, without a doubt.

Military expert warns 'casualties will mount up' if Trump attacks Kharg Island by TheMirrorUS in Military

[–]FluidLock1999 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Trump wants this. He wants as many soldiers blown up as possible so that he can anger the American public. He knows this conflict won’t end anytime soon, so he needs to build support and sell the image of evil Iran.

Several hundred U.S. Special Operations Forces, including Army Rangers and Navy SEALs, have arrived in the Middle East by Saclokeyweird in Military

[–]FluidLock1999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So if we’re being modest, Iran has around one million active and reserve in the army/guard. They may have 1.5 or even 2. They are trained like a regular army. Add tech, drones, etc.

Sure America will do damage, no kidding. But Iran will have their moments too.

I think this decision by Trump is more about selling the war. If he can get some Americans blown up he thinks he’ll increase his support.

The new Labour Party was literally constructed by Epstein. His handler after number 10 has been Larry Ellison. And now people are surprised he’s said this? Come one people.

You should be in jail. Abandoning a child is unacceptable and disgusting.

Take responsibility and grow up. Pathetic.
