Violent invaders, intent on conquering and subjugating Europe to Islam, are coming in everyday and the Westminster traitors are helping them do it.

Seeing all these riots in Britain is no surprise. Islam is not compatible with the Western world and mass immigration is destroying British culture. A bunch of hostile foreign people hell bent on subjugating natives to their religion/culture is a recipe for disaster.

Citizens who vocally fight back are being jailed for their speech.

And this:

It will get to the point where if you criticize the party they will ban the content and police the speech. Guaranteed to happen.

Wow. I thought Starmer was an idiot and he would ruin whatever is left of the UK but I didn't think he would manage it in like 3 weeks.

They have an immigration issue. They agree they have an immigration issue. It's one of the things both parties agree on. They refuse to fix the problem.

Brexit happened in large part because of immigration issues. Know who is crazy tough on illegal immigration? Immigrants, they hate it.

The West really needs to start saying "no" to immigration, however, our economies are consumption based and we stopped having children so you have to import your consumption.

London is currently a minority city. Virtually colonization in reverse. If the UK doesn't start to stamp out Islamism they probably aren't terribly far off from some very terrible problems. Interestingly, they are in a much better position than France, for example, as the problem is near out of control there.

Also, blame the conservatives, they had 12 years to fix these problems and did nothing. Labours overwhelming win is backlash from that.

Seems like the same thing Obama wanted a few years back. To make it illegal to speak bad of Democrats in office. Or something like that.
Don't question authority because "we " are always right.
These politicians with this mindset are what's wrong. They need to be out. The power hungry demonizers. Terrible.

Sure except labour just destroyed conservatives in their election a month or two back. You get the government you vote for.

Cuban just said the quiet part out loud - acknowledging the fascist-authoritarian butthurt about Musk's Twitter is it can no longer manipulate disinformation Orwellian-style.

Sir Winston Churchill said it best:

"Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage."

Socialists are just willing indentured servants of the government. It always leads to oppression of the the people by the government. It's sad how many here actually see it happening and yet still support it, all the while knowing their children will be less free. They don't care, because they are lemmings of the media and numb to reality.

I feel what you are saying but Chruchill over saw the end of the British empire (wasted lives and money on two foolish world wars)

While Ben oversaw the British empire reach its peak of power

He was the best PM of the UK

Reasonable opinion.

But Ben didn't have to deal with the likes of Stalin or Hitler from a position of weakness.

Churchill was actually a complete POS. Hitler made several peace offeriings and wanted to avoid war with Britian and he rejected all of them. He was paid off to push Britian into war.

Its true, though. Hitler let Britain get away at Dunkirk. He wanted to kill the bolsheviks and didnt want war with Britain and the US.

Naturally

Hitler was pushed into invading Czechoslovakia.
Hitler was pushed into attacking Poland.
Hitler was pushed into invading Denmark
Hitler was pushed into attacking Norway
Hitler was pushed into attacking Greece.
Hitler was pushed into attacking Albania
Hitler was pushed into attacking Belgium.

Yep, all Hitler wanted was 'living space'.

Of course he needed to liquidate millions of the current residents of that 'living space '.

That mean ol Churchill just kept getting in the way of progress.

Churchill hated Hitler and thought he was a buffoon (he was). He quite liked Stalin and thought very highly of him.

I have to say "Churchill was a POS" is a take you sure don't hear very often.

I think Stalin, Roosevelt, Hitler and CHurchill were all POS's. Patton was a good guy, though.

Good grief

Churchill did not 'like' Stalin. He feared the sociopath as a ruthless Bolshevik.

Churchill knew, without a doubt , that if giving the opportunity Stalin would have executed him, his family , and every member of the British upper class and aristocracy.

Churchill was furious when Stalin signed the non aggression treaty with Hitler. Realizing full well the agreement gave Hitler a free hand to invade Poland.

However when Hitler later inexplicably invaded the Soviet Union; Churchill ( the eternal pragmatist ) immediately sent what aid he could spare to Stalin. Churchill tolerated Stalin as a necessary evil; a means with which to fight Hitler.

' The enemy, of my enemy , is my friend. '

Who Churchill did 'like' was Roosevelt. Because convincing Roosevelt to bring the United States into the war ; provided eventual victory for Great Britain.

Excellent discussion about Churchill here (there is a podcast version if you don't have 2 hours to watch but it's worth it). I'm not saying they were golf buddies I'm saying he didn't think of Stalin like he thought of Hitler. He had a really really low opinion of Hitler.
