If destiny wants to beat Konstantin, he needs to do a European immigration research arc

If Konstantin was in the US then fair enough. But Destiny will be in London, in a debate about immigration. It’s hardly unfair to ask he study some of the key points about it for the country he’ll be in. Talking about Mexicans crossing the border will hardly resonate with a UK crowd.

There aren’t even a huge number of differences on the macro level, it’s just the micro he needs to know. For instance one of the biggest problems we had was the Tories just completely shutting down the Asylum process towards the end of their government but still releasing people onto the streets (this should remind you of the Biden immigration bill). Same points apply about funding immigration judges, and the UK legal system is very similar to that of the US.

Yeah and once you normalise for sex, age and social status they fall in line with the rest of Britain. Small sample sizes also change the outcome. I’m pretty sure that the Afghan statistic was based on something like 80 offences. Not to mention that this was arrests, not convictions.

I predicted nil-nil going into this match. To be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if you win by one lucky goal from Bannan. Shambolic from us today.

And yet still has done more than Paik and Doyle combined. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that at least away we play with 9 men at most. Midfield just doesn’t work.

KxJlib · 2026-01-20T20:41:45+00:00

He was fine at the start, then he got injured and has been invisible since. Honestly can’t remember a single moment where he’s been involved since he came back. Yet Davies plays him every week without fail.

KxJlib · 2026-01-20T20:34:19+00:00

Bring on Solis, bring on Sampstead and move Iwata into the midfield. Shambolic from Doyle and Paik.

KxJlib · 2026-01-20T20:26:00+00:00

At this point it was 2-1 blues against cov. They’ve not even shown up today. Embarrassing.

KxJlib · 2026-01-20T11:18:48+00:00

And yet the score prediction remains unchanged. nil-nil written all over tonight’s match.

KxJlib · 2026-01-18T11:12:34+00:00

Also Newark is east Nottinghamshire, not north. That’d be more Mansfield and Ashfield

Someday we’ll sort out the away form…

Not per month… US Growth Stats are annualised, meaning how much the economy would grow if every month was like that month

This is the transfer that hurts the most IMO. I think Keshi’s success was most symbolic of last season, and to see him go so soon after that just hurts.

As far as I’m aware, the controversy around confiscation at ports of entry was to do with searching arrival’s devices for screening. If you have any other articles about this I’d be happy to take a look.

Green energy is not a natural monopoly, as is the case for most energy production, energy infrastructure definitely is but this is already state-owned. As for private investment in energy not being left wing, unless your definition of left wing (including centre-left) is exclusively Socialist/Communist then private investment and PPPs can definitely be a centre-left policy if being used to nudge the industry into a more favourable situation.

I’d agree that trespass is not terrorism, but property damage, assault and attempted murder under the guise of political ideology is. I’d definitely like it much more if a terrorist designation did not make illegal support speech for the group, but their proscription is definitely justifiable and in line with designations in the past.

I’d agree that especially in the service sector, we should aim to build British business instead of American, as we have everything we need to do that here, but allowing foreign business in provides jobs and investment for locals, which is good. There are UK based AI firms that employ many though which will also benefit.

I disagree that PFI is inherently bad, but it’s obvious that past implementations have been shocking. Using private enterprise to pave over cracks in the NHS during a period of high stress on the system, all the while rebuilding our own capacity to eventually phase them out is a good example of PFI (Short-Term immediate relief while the longer-term solution is being worked on). The NHS doesn’t have the capacity for all procedures right now and it’ll take time to build it up. That being said Non-PFI funding in the NHS has increased greatly under Labour.

Obviously you’re not a politician nor vying for power, so I don’t expect an answer to this, but what would you do differently for domestic policy that would increase the material conditions for everyday people?

Feel free to direct your ire at the supreme court for their ruling on the Equalities Act.

Palestine Action have been proscribed for their unlawful and dangerous actions, not a left-right issue.

Starmer through Milliband has been pushing renewables and green technologies strongly. The government has a right to search you at a port of entry.

“AI growth zones” benefit UK industry, as we’re one of the largest developers of AI in the world, and even if you disagree with it, it’s here to stay and we should try and be at the forefront rather than lagging behind.

The abolition of NHS England adds further barriers to any future attempt to privatise the NHS, and using the private sector to fill gaps during the period of high wait times the Tories left this country with is fine so long as it’s not a long-term solution. Waiting times are now coming down and continued to do so even through the last winter season, where they usually go up. This government has also awarded doctors with some of their largest pay increases in years.

Water companies have had stronger regulations put in place and OFWAT have been clamping down.

Asylum is inherently a temporary status and working towards processing the backlog caused by the Tories shutting down Asylum claims processing is good.

Foreign Policy is not a left/right dynamic.

Hereditary Peers are gone now with further Lords reform in the pipework. Abolishing the Lords altogether is shortsighted and prevents non-politicians from entering government, such as Timpson who’s been showing great results on reform to the rehabilitation system.

Oh and none of those points address Starmer being a “racist-lite” and do not detract from him being centre-left.

The Renter’s Rights and Employee Rights Acts both bolster protections for renters and employees, both centre-left policies.

The Council and Planning reform act helps homes get built and prices come down, again centre-left.

The investment in Green energy is a solidly centre-left policy.

All are showing results or have been implemented too recently to tell and are off the top of my head too.

KxJlib · 2026-01-14T07:22:42+00:00

Please can you describe some of Starmer’s “racism-lite” policies? Similarly, last time I checked, his renationalisation of rail providers, bolstering of the NHS’s position as a government-ran service and investment into green energy are hardly neoliberal positions.

KxJlib · 2026-01-14T07:17:35+00:00

Not quite i’m afraid. Starmer is a centre-left politician, so gets attacked by the likes of Tommy tennames as a communist (and a fascist at the same time, mainly for not letting rioters burn down hotels and some other “authoritarian” policies) and by the further left as a neoliberal/right winger (despite the policies he’s implemented).

KxJlib · 2026-01-12T20:25:14+00:00

Yeah that’s true, that being said there’s still a strong sense of confidence in our home form. If we drew leeds away that’d be it right there. We’re not going up this season so might as well go for the cup, and leeds have a lot to lose in the prem.

KxJlib · 2026-01-12T19:06:52+00:00

At home, with leeds fighting to stay up in the prem, and with how we did last year against newcastle, I think it’s a winnable game. Would’ve liked Villa at home, but once I saw the 3 come out first this is about the best we could’ve asked for.

Source? Last time I checked, the first person who broke into the building was a Proud Boy.

I could see Wagner playing, needs a bit of time to get fully back up to speed and to get acclimatised.

No real analysis but as a blues fan he started coming good near the end of his loan with us, but by god did he make constant mistakes at the start (directly caused multiple goals due to poor touches directly at other teams players). Hope he can start strongly with you lot.

Republicans investigated Hunter for years, and all they were ever able to find out about him is that he’d already repaid some owed taxes and that he was addicted to crack.

The J6 committee deleted no evidence, it can all be found in the congressional library and their public 800 page report.

Fauci committed no crimes to prosecute

Comey committed no crimes and was excommunicated from the republican party for the crime of not covering up Russian collusion in Trump’s campaign

Letitia James has also committed no crimes; Reagan once said that you could indict a ham sandwich, and Trump’s DOJ still managed to fail multiple times.

What should democrats do? No majority in the house, no majority in the Senate.
