British Politics
Been on holiday for a few weeks, surprised to find no general discussion of British politics so though I'd kick one off.
Well, that could come back to haunt him.
Romania have a three tiered judicial system, so if they're anything like Italy's, this could drag on for years before they're extradited, assuming they're acquitted.
Not surprised Farage endorsed him. I wasn't aware Galloway apparently did also.
And Cat fetishist.

If Romania works like Italy extradition is something you ask before the first round, then yes it could take forever to reach a definitive verdict but that's a different topic from extradition being requested

My point was that multi tiered judiciaries tend to take literally years to reach, as you said a definitive verdict, so this will probably drag on for ages.
Despite the party's poll successes, Reform UK chairman Zia Yusuf resigns, saying he no longer considers it a good use of his time to get a Reform government elected. He may be annoyed about a Reform MP calling on the government to 'ban the burqa', and he may possibly have decided that Reform is host to a lot of Muslim-haters.
Quite an indictment on him if it’s taken him this long to figure that out.
Meanwhile Badenoch is still under the illusion that the Tory party doesn’t dislike black people anns immigrants and isnt using her to do its racism for them.
I am old enough to remember when "replacement theory" was considered a conspiracy theory.
One Labour MP said: “I have had time and again people say to me: ‘We are fairly happy with paying more, why don’t you just ask us to pay some more income tax?’"
jesus ****ing christ
That is absolutely true if you’re talking about some highly paid people (not all of them of course) paying a few pence more in income tax for much better public services: I heard it said in City pubs and was pleasantly surprised at the time.
These policies have polled well for some years.
A far right vermin like you wouldn’t approve, of course.
They know that Badenoch is black and as long as the message is still anti-immigrant they won't object. Same applies to Tate.
When I was at school one of the National Front kids was a mixed race kid.
I always prefer the train but if there's a few of you the cost can be insane compared to even hiring a car (I dont own one).
Needs to be treated as prized national infrastructure pursuing excellence and being subsidised. The return on that subsidy is massive.
In 4 weeks time I'm about to grace the UK with my presence and cannot believe the cost of catching the train between cities. Even with the time saved (albeit it is about 1 to 1.5 hours depending on where I am going) it is far cheaper to catch a coach bus. I found that 15 years ago when I was last there and things haven't changed and in fact have got much worse there are no saver tickets
There are tickets called Super Off-Peak if you're able to travel at those times, but the bus is always much cheaper.
Coaches have always been a lot cheaper than trains which is reasonable when they usually take a lot longer.
No that doesn’t explain sky high gas prices, and Germany is also very high up the green energy league.
It doesn't seem to be due to costly renewables, or not wholly, because Germany generated 60% of electricity from renewables last year, to the UK's 50%, but charged lower prices to business users. And it's not due to the price of gas used by power stations, because that's determined by world spot markets (apparently). So it may indeed be to do with private energy suppliers price-gouging. The government's vague and blancmangey proposal for a national 'GB Energy' overlord, which will regulate instead of taking over as a state monopoly, suggests that they know what the problem is but can't afford to buy out the mainly foreign private firms. Unlike the railways, it's not a matter of time-limited franchises that can be nationalised at no cost when they run out.
