It is sobering to recall that the British regime installed this ludicrous individual as the governor of its central bank.
🚨BREAKING: Carney claims the U.S. is a significantly greater national security threat to Canada than the Chinese Communist Party. “In terms of the security risks for our partnership, they’re much much much less than the security risks, for example, of the United States.”

The harsh truth is that a second Clinton presidency would have been the same but different. War, tyranny, corruption and foreign interference, just with less of a WWE flavour. When you vote, you vote for the regime - which always has different candidates on the ballot.
Every single person who was intensely upset after the 2016 election is completely vindicated. We said he’d start a war, we said he’d act like a tyrant, we said he’d engage in corruption never seen before in US history, we said he was compromised by foreign powers. We were right.

The regime gets away with so much of what it does because most people still don't understand that all mainstream media - anything on television and any national publication - is now controlled and managed by the regime. It is a constant stream of narrative management. The Telegraph's recent (hardly discreet) pivot to a leftist, globalist pro-EU stance has woken up a few more people to what's going on.
The British state is far more corrupt than people realise. This is banana republic stuff. spectator.com/article/why-is…

A country where allegedly making 'monkey noises' is viewed much more seriously, and publicised much more widely, than murder is not doing well, socially or politically.

A fascinating insight into the regime mindset. If they charge you with a crime, you really shouldn’t have the temerity to defend yourself or challenge the evidence. You should simply accept your guilt and go to prison.
Judge rightly making the point Brand needlessly made his victims go through one further ordeal of cross-examination.

“Magnificent” is not a word that I’d use to describe cheap post-modern architecture and public space that looks like it belongs outside a Florida outlet mall, where sunshine and palm trees would at least soften its cheap and rough edges.
Leeds Station’s magnificent new gateway is now open for business. What a way to welcome railway customers to and from the city! And there’s more improvements on the way too.

How naive you must be to imagine that ‘the government stepping in’ will make any situation better.
The National Trust was set up so people could donate property in lieu of tax they couldn't pay. So if it's going to be run into a morass of tedious rubbish like this by a narrow DEI-obsessed clique it would be reasonable for the government to step in.

The idea that pedestrianisation suddenly caused a surge of international visitors of almost half is transparently absurd - all those foreigners were suddenly moved to come to London because buses no longer serve a stretch of Oxford St? - but the state's propaganda is getting ever bolder, but more careless with it.

It’s quaint that there are still people out there who think any MP can or will take a blind bit of notice of what the electorate wants or thinks.
74% of the Prime Minister's own voters in Makerfield oppose giving up the right to set our own food standards laws - shortly before Labour do exactly that at the 20 November EU summit. Andy Burnham has failed his own "Makerfield test". 👇 Polling via @BritainUnbound.

Given that HM Treasury has run this country like a poorhouse for decades, putting itself in the role of kindly almsgiver (money which it extracts from London and its hinterland) for the regions, this is not remotely surprising.
Not one of Wales's 32 constituencies collects more in income tax and National Insurance than it spends on welfare. Across Wales, welfare spending is nearly double what workers pay in, a gap of £3,062 per adult. That is worse than every English region except the North East.

So very true. The vast majority of people who use this phrase are midwit authoritarian types - the snitches and mindlessly compliant who prop up the state's interference under a cloak of sanctimony - who think that playing the 'paedophile' card will silence all argument.
The “check his hard drive” approach to criticism of antiporn laws is an embarrassment

Tired commentator and regime stalwart paid to step forward to condemn man the regime previously lauded when he preached their narratives. All so predictable.
Russell Brand never had anything “beyond cliche and gibberish to offer”, says Daniel Finkelstein. “The fact that he is now revealed as a dangerous predator should not obscure the other fact that his contributions to public debate were moronic, and he an obvious fraud.”

The British road network is mostly appalling: badly designed and wholly inadequate. But in the same way that Britain lauds its terrible healthcare and pretends it cannot see better healthcare in the rest of the world, so Brits feign ignorance of the fact that the roads are better in any comparable country you care to name.
The lack of motorways in Britain is actually criminal. Living in the US, it’s remarkable how well connected major cities are. I’m often shocked by how quick travelling from A to B is by car. It’s *insane* we back home have refused to connect Oxford and Cambridge.

This naive woman doesn’t recognise slave labour, money laundering and organised crime when it steps up and washes her car. She probably also thinks those ‘Turkish’ (Albanian crime gang) barbers are just young men with a pair of scissors trying to scrape a living.
Every single car wash I have been to in the last ten years has been migrant run or migrants washing my car. They work hard, long hours and quickly. If they all go, who will wash cars because I do not see English people washing cars ever in London Hertfordshire, Essex, Surrey, midlands etc Why don’t English people wash cars ?

Because the Pashtun tribesman who arrived a month ago is just as Scottish as you, Iain MacDonald of Inverness whose family has lived in Scotland for centuries. If we don’t get rid of these people, these people will get rid of us. They aren’t hiding it now.
No matter where you were born, who you worship or who you love, all of us have a contribution to make to Scotland's story. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

One presumes that if eBay, Vinted and Depop were owned and run by Pakistani men, the government would be encouraging children to use the sites?

Just assorted regime mouthpieces having a scripted 'conversation' for television. It's beyond parody.
Sunday Morning panel 08.11.26. A former editor of the Financial Times & a current journalist at the Financial Times, with a Sunday Times columnist hosting. And for balance a journalist who once upon a time worked for the Lib Dems.

When the history of this period comes to be written, I think it’s fair to say that, in assessing the outcome of America’s constant interference and military adventures in the Arab world, one side did rather better than the other, and it wasn’t America.
“Michigan is the capital of Arab America.” Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed makes the claim during remarks in Washington, D.C., pointing to Michigan’s large Arab American population.

There isn’t supposed to be any ‘upside for the UK’. That is never an objective of the British government; hasn’t been for many years. The only thing Whitehall and Westminster worry about is improving what they perceive as a wider good for the world. It’s remarkable how many commentators fail (or refuse) to see this.
🇪🇺“It is one of the most one-sided agreements I have ever read. There is no upside for the UK; the few benefits are negated by the massive cost and regulatory straitjacket the UK will find itself bound by,” writes @CeeMacBee
