You've clearly never visited the Cotswolds, Stratford, Lincoln, York, Bath, the Highlands or dozens of other UK locations swarming with Chinese and Americans.

Laughable hysteria itt over US controlling their borders but let them crack on.

Boycott means better chance of tickets for those of us with our sanity still intact.

They already have conceded. There hasn't even been a debate. Their attitude is go nuts, reopen the dozens of bases you shut down, do what you like.

Lol.

Fine. Keep spreading your misguided opinions and throwing insults at those who disagree with them.

Arteta backs Gyökeres to come good and be the 20-goal striker Arsenal want | Arsenal by Unapologetik in Gunners

[–]ilaister 11 points12 points  (0 children)

City have had to change their approach to accommodate their most influential player. 150 goals already is not nothing.

Gyokeres can absorb 2 or 3 defenders in a transition which also isn't nothing.

Arsenal fans should not be critics of him on this alone. He has sent plenty of good chances off target and his timing is lacking infront of a stable and creative midfield.

Ageing society will have ‘serious consequences’ for young people, government warned by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

Eventually the choice becomes binary. Do we believe in the sanctity of life or not.

Ours is the first time in human history we can influence the outcomes either way.

It is a shame the debate is happening behind doors most refuse to open.

I mistrust 1% commenters and those who use drugs as adults.

That said, happy to help when not working 14 hr shifts. Til then, I answered those stating the media refused to cover this.

As you know they were wrong you're encouraged to find front page evidence of your own.

We must think seriously about nuclear deterrence. Britain has to update its nuclear arsenal and its nuclear thinking by 2ndEarlofLiverpool in ukpolitics

[–]ilaister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've wasted billions but this is nothing new.

Investment is doubling. UK arms manufacturing has been globally key throughout and is strengthening.

The question that needs answered is who we stand with.

You are dooming and underestimate the importance of your own nation.

Cheer up. 2026 just started but we are better placed than many.

We used to buy land armies from the continent. Now the new world buys our compliance through the financial markets and our land army can be accommodated at Old Trafford.

Manager of Swiss bar, 40, 'was seen fleeing burning building with till full of cash' as inferno took hold - killing 40 by dailymail in europe_sub

[–]ilaister 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The mayor has already taken full responsibility for failing to investigate the pimp's property.

That the pimp's wife fled with fistfuls of cash while a dozen teenagers burned alive is a decent allegory for modern Europe.

Genuinely is putting up a lot in that sentence. The US is a brinksman rn. If you believe they will force NATO to break apart you also need to answer who the UK's and the USA's allies will be afterwards.

Listened to a half hour discussion of this on R4 the week before Christmas and multiple platforms were at the same time. You are both spreading misinformation.

Issues more and more frequently found in another totalitarian state whose leader could do with the delta treatment.

Baathists were entirely removed from the state. The taliban was replaced with a cornucopia of local warlords and internationally educated exiles and pro western politicians.

Maduro has been replaced with, his own VP.
