Not a word in response to the points I made about the illegal tactics Australia have used that would be impossible to use in our waters

Liz Truss posted this today, perhaps to remind her constituents what she looks like. Has she actually spent more than a week in her constituency in 2024, I doubt it. Far more interested in touring the world to spout her batsh*it cray conspiracy theories, surely this sort of abandonment of her duties as an MP requires her to be censured at the very least. I hope the voters in SW Norfolk take note of the utter contempt Truss has for them. https://x.com/trussliz/status/1784169842439770406

Nah! He said "great" career, not a mediocre career that disappeared in a blaze of far-right buffoonery.

Even David Cameron admitted in an interview that Brexit had ruined the best opportunity we had for dealing with boat arrivals. The Dublin III regulation allowed us to return immediately anyone who turned up on our shores from whence they arrived. Brexit brought the Dublin III regulation to an end.

The Australian navy have faced serious accusations of driving boats out to sea and letting them sink. As for the asylum seekers offshored, it is done under appalling conditions on an island at a cost of more than $2m per person. None of the aspects of the Australian execution of their system would ever be acceptable to the UK.

It's interesting how few are the people who actually know anything about the Glorious Revolution. Yet it seems to me it is probably of the first importance in understanding the constitutional arrangement between the power of the head of state and parliament. Arguably, it is precisely because of the GR that the monarchy has survived to this very day. By accepting the authority of parliament over their own "sovereignty" William and Mary gave the monarchy a degree of legitimacy that remains to this day the only real argument for preserving with a monarch as head of state.

Weren't they supposed to be there CELEBRATING St George's day?

Try this if you want something a little different

The Ubermensch in court today 🤣

That's a shame. Fingers crossed for the remaining one.

Irish Republicanism is non-sectarian. Wolfe Tone, the most iconic of all republicans (still celebrated every year in the movement), was a protestant.

Did any of them attend a private party in a foreign country, say Italy for example, thrown by a chief spy of an enemy nation?

Slay dragons. That's why Truss, Patel, and Braverman have gone into hiding.

I would have done but posted my message calling you an idiot on the wrong thread.

LDI markets have been a source of concern and scandal for a long time (see the many articles in Private Eye). But I refuse to let that distract from the fact that Liz Truss is entirely to blame for pursuing her pig-headed, ideologically insane budget. Like Trump when he became president she rid herself of, or ignored, ANY advisor she considered would provide resistance to her objectives, and listened only to feeble-willed sycophants applauding her on. A perfect example of the moral of The Emperor's New Clothes.
