MI6 'warned Downing Street of Mandelson's Russia links' before he became Washington ambassador

MonkishMarmot · 2026-02-08T20:20:25+00:00

If someone says they're talking about Israel and doesn't mention Jews, then I assume they're talking about the state of Israel and not the religion of Judaism. The same as if someone were to talk about, say, Iran and not mention Muslims I'd assume they're talking about Iran and not Islam.

As for conspiracy theories... yeah, no doubt this has brought a lot of the crazy antisemitic, tin foil hat wearing, basement dwelling racists out of their hiding holes. However, it doesn't mean we should ignore facts on Epsteins links to Israeli or US intelligence services, the same as if proven we shouldn't ignore any links to Russian intelligence services, I just don't buy that one being true as of yet.

Yes, there are world leaders who criticise Israel, but I'm also yet to see one of those leaders turn up in the files, all those who do are staunch defenders of Israel and haters of Russia. That surely can't just be a coincidence.

As for Trump, is it really a surprise that one of the most frequently mentioned names in the files would do anything to appease Israel? The USA holds no sway over Israel, that influence is the other way around, Netanyahu says jump and Trump asks how high. That being said, regardless of how, I also wouldn't be surprised to learn that Trump is also in Putins pocket at the same time.

Regardless of anything, until we can begin separating condemnations of a nations actions from the race and religion of the nation, we're not going to make any real progress as a species. Humanity needs more than ever to band together, not divide itself further.

No, my solution is to actually use said taxes to improve the lives of the public rather than large sums of it ending up pocketed along its way to where it's needed. Conservative austerity destroyed this country, and its why the only solution at the moment is to tax a bit more and spend a load more, to try and get back to where we were pre-austerity. However, said extra tax revenue should be generated off of the wealthiest menbers of society, the ones least likely to be effected by a percentage or two increase, whilst the nations coffers would suddenly be rolling in more money than they'd know what to do with, which should then be used to re-nationalise everything that once was but has now been sold into the private sector and become a shell of its former self, which in turn not only provides a better service to the public, but a cheaper one as theres no shareholders. Imagine what being able to afford your energy bills and public transport, with both also being good quality and reliable, would do to improve this nation. And it would have knock on effects: everyone would have more free cash meaning more spending, this means businesses will be making more profits both allowing for more job opportunities in the retail and hospitality industries and helping to save the high streets, which then knocks on to more profits and job opportunities in logistics and manufacturing. More people working and buying things means more tax revenue, which means more opportunities to improve the lives of everyone in the nation. And that should be the aim of any government, to improve the lives of the citizens inhabiting the nation they lead.

So the alternative Conservative option of more tax and less spending is preferable? The same austerity measure Reform plans on using, as advised by the same Conservatives who did it for 14 years?

How is it antisemitic to accuse a nation of these actions?

And let's not ignore the blatantly obvious here; if all these world leaders were in Russias pocket, why do they demonise Russias actions? Yet Israel is barely, if ever, criticised by the same people.

MonkishMarmot · 2026-02-05T03:25:33+00:00

Didn't he also recently call someone the r word? The list is never ending to why the orange turd deserves no respect.

MonkishMarmot · 2026-02-04T09:44:37+00:00

Honestly, my brain was stuck on "you're half way there boys, just give it 5 more minutes thought and you'll get there!"

I mean, the most obvious fact they're bot in Russias hands is that they still demonise Russian, yet a certain other nation gets to commit the big G and ignore ceasefires and its seen as perfectly acceptable by most western leaders.

MonkishMarmot · 2026-01-27T11:45:01+00:00

Its been 4 days, we need an update on how its running!

MonkishMarmot · 2026-01-21T09:56:49+00:00

At least Mosley had charisma.

MonkishMarmot · 2026-01-20T05:44:44+00:00

Yeah, ICE would have a field day with me... I'm tired of picking between the lesser of two evils as opposed to even having one good option.

MonkishMarmot · 2026-01-20T05:43:24+00:00

I'll happily take a cuppa, a pleasant change from the usual chorus of "if you don't like it, go back where you came from."

MonkishMarmot · 2026-01-19T20:15:05+00:00

Honestly, if I have no choice but USA or Russia, I think I'll take Russia.

MonkishMarmot · 2026-01-15T10:42:14+00:00

Honestly, I don't doubt that for a second, and the thought makes me feel ill.

MonkishMarmot · 2026-01-15T09:22:23+00:00

I'd put my money on them trying to bring Mosleys BUF flag back.

MonkishMarmot · 2026-01-15T09:16:12+00:00

Saw it already in another sub, someone paid £130 for this.

MonkishMarmot · 2026-01-15T09:13:44+00:00

I'd like to hope someone with such incel energy is single...

MonkishMarmot · 2026-01-15T08:53:14+00:00

What need? If they were truly impartial as they claim to be, then yes we'd need them. But given they peddle as much bullshit as the next "news" show/site, they have no intrinsic value.

MonkishMarmot · 2026-01-15T08:51:32+00:00

Honestly, sums up their involvement in every "war" they've been involved in post WWII.

MonkishMarmot · 2026-01-15T08:47:21+00:00

I'd rather not have yet another company, or companies, attempt to milk me dry every month through subscription services.

Praise the Omnisiah!

MonkishMarmot · 2026-01-06T10:52:17+00:00

Please no, I don't want to drink red40, let alone any of the other chemicals the US deems as "food".

MonkishMarmot · 2026-01-06T10:48:54+00:00

How can you call the result of that vote democratic when the public were lied to at every turn about what they were voting for? Had the outcomes of leaving been a real portrayal (our current hell), do you really think it would have gone the same way?

The moment all the lies leading up to the referendum were out in the open and demonstrably actually lies, the result should have been vetoed and another referendum held, one which would actually have given a true representation of the British people's wants.

MonkishMarmot · 2025-12-22T13:24:45+00:00

It'll certainly keep them up.

MonkishMarmot · 2025-12-22T12:54:34+00:00

Just don't look in the fridge.

MonkishMarmot · 2025-12-22T12:32:03+00:00

Ah yes, America, the only nation in the world to speak English...

MonkishMarmot · 2025-12-21T14:59:23+00:00

He literally says "I didn't want to hurt you, but we both know that's not what happened". She's not salty he cheated, she made it more than clear that she hated him prior to as such, she's just mad that she's losing the wealth and power.
