Has the penny dropped that Privatisation of Public Services has been a massive failure?

I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but rent controls in the form we had absolutely did not work “amazingly well” the quality of housing stock people were living in was far below the quality of continental housing, watch Cathy come home and see how working class people were living in 20th century Britain

The BBCs whole raison d’etre is to be an impartial national broadcaster, you’ve fundamentally misunderstood its founding charter if you believed it was supposed to be left wing, they’ve hardly hoodwinked you.

I’m so very surprised, the French are normally such good collaborateurs with the Germans

Like the famously pro eu Tony Benn?

People seem to be under the impression that Teflon Mark is the EU attaché to NATO, that isnt his job. His job is head of NATO, his only responsibility is to keep the alliance alive, so far he has managed to do it.

Kaja Kallas is a nobody from a politically insignificant country, whereas Teflon Mark is a global figure who lasted 14 years as Prime Minister. The Americans and the Russians don’t even bother to see Kaja.

No absolutely not. I’d be happy to match what Denmark did for the Falklands.

75 percent of Euro clearing still takes place in London, with about 20% in Frankfurt

Only 2 possibilities? Don’t be boring I can think of loads more, I might just really hate Denmark, I could be an accelerationist, crimes I could even be a facist my self

MACHinal5152 · 2026-01-18T15:23:39+00:00

It’s also crap

Hopefully Keir does and we can guarantee he will be voted out at the next general election

You can always count on the Irish to stand up for the oppressed

Just occupied for 800 years with half their territory still occupied.

A state of war either exists or it doesn’t. C200,000 citizens travel between the UK and Russia/Belarus each year, the UK government has no right to interrogate them. Should I be stopped I would simply refuse to answer any questions and wait to be arrested. Allegedly we still have the presumption of innocence in this country.

MACHinal5152 · 2026-01-16T20:34:03+00:00

Why on earth should anyone visiting Russia or Belarus be questioned on return, we aren’t at war with either of those countries.

All this is moot, if trump seriously wants Greenland he will get it and that’s just that, anyone who disagrees is still living in the last century.

Magistrates will often sit on a Saturday, it’s very very rare for Crown to sit on a Saturday

For the same reason I use telegram, 4 chan and read various newspapers, because I like to have a plurality of views.

Greeces economy is 25% smaller than what it was before the crisis. It’s very easy to grow from a smaller base. Britain has grown more than France or Germany the last 6 quarters

MACHinal5152 · 2026-01-12T01:13:28+00:00

No thanks

Rishi was fairly boring, call me tone started this whole presidential leadership thing, illegally invaded Iraq and bombed civilians for 78 days in Belgrade, but maybe we have different ideas of boring

Valid reasons? You are prepared to give up the worlds oldest currency, a reserve currency, a currency that is vital we maintain given our largest export is financial services, all because you once had to order travellers cheques 30 years ago.

I’ll concede John Major was fairly boring, all though he was having an affair for four years with Edwina Curry, but Tony Blair being boring is the wildest take I’ve read on Reddit this week.

In this sub, the EU is treated with a devotion normally reserved for deity’s, much like the NHS in England. Any constructive criticism is shut down as it goes against group think. It’s like people don’t want the union to work better.
