What is that "mate" of mine Sadiq Khan trying to achieve ?

 

You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

Isn't not up to me 

Fuck me, as defences go 

Why are you talking to yourself? Are you ok? 
 

Like I said in the post you replied to which I don’t think you read, there’s 100s of people on here so why is it up to me to post every parties u turns? What I will say is I live in a Labour borough in a country run by Labour. Their u turns are more in the spotlight. I’m sure the first I heard about reforms u turn on taxes was on here. Now if it was I’ll have a £100 bet to any charity that whoever posted about it wasn’t questioned by you about other parties U turns. 
 

Over to you 

Reform haven't broken any promises- as Farage detailed in person.

The tax cuts were based on the situation presented at the last election. Had Reform won, then cuts would have been made.

They have changed, so those cuts wouldn't be possible now.

I'd call that openness and honesty.

By the time of the next election, he may decide they could be cut.

I doubt that will be the case though.

Yes but but but someone needs to call something out…..apparently

Nice deflection 

I was simply asking you,  as you are quite vocal on these things, to say what the u turns that other parties have done that you have highlighted 

Did you highlight the Reform ones? 

The key word is you

No, why would I? it had already been done on here before I knew about it, as I’ve already said. Did you pick up the posters who highlighted it? 

Farage's most recent U Turn

I did not say those racist things at school

Ok, I said them but I didn't mean them

They're all the same, those MPs and their U turns

I know some have mentioned it before but it's really heating up in Iran, fuck knows what's going to happen, if anything of course but some are thinking this could be big.

Could be, and a rare positive from Trump - threatening to bomb if they shoot protesters.

Though, tbf, if any in the Iranian regime have a sense of humour they should threaten Trump with the same.

Regime change in Iran could be seismic. Denies Russia of another ally in the region (after Assad's fall), potentially ends funding for Iran's proxies (Hezbollah, Hamas, etc) ... which could in turn negate Israel's rationale for kicking the fuck out of everyone.

Could be very very positive this.

(caveat - could also be a shitshow depending what comes next)

Twitter is telling me this isn't getting any MSM coverage in the UK? Which seems very odd. 

Malevolent superpower in the Middle East, that is justifiably hated by Israel. Funds Hamas and Hezbollah. Also a Putin ally.

There seems to be a revolution brewing that may get rid of the lunatics in charge is surely very newsworthy.

As an aside, we'd be forgiven for fearing Iranians due to those lunatics, but met a few in NZ and Australia. Really lovely people.  

 

 

It was on the news last night. If the Don stopped playing Jack sparrow and Dirty Harry it may get more attention.

interesting on x only person seen decry the protests is a reform councillor

Agreed. Mind you, all the ones I have met want the return of democracy under The Shah.

Lovely people indeed.

Many I've met and worked for mate, came here since the revolution in the late 70's, they own numerous town centre buildings now and have done very well indeed

Like you say, lovely people indeed 🇮🇷

Yes mate, I knew a good few in Bolton in the 70's. One in particular became my regular partner in the Pool League doubles comp.

Hard working, kind and generous people in my experience.

Absolutely pal. Sadly witnessed a few arguing with the Iranian extremists in London the other year, sad to see

The nice thing, though it won't go down well on here, is the amiable relationship between normal Iranians and the good folk of Israel.

Why won’t that go down well on here? And who with?

Farage is open and honest.

Should go down very well on here. Most normal folk just want to get on with other normal folk and live a normal life. Sadly there are nutters and bigots on the planet who make this difficult.

I think I'm with Spider with this one mate. I worry you've got most of us wrong (if not all). 

If I've understood it correctly and you're saying that in general Iranians are nice people, I think most people on the site would agree with you.  And if you're saying that you saw some who taking Islamic extremists to task. I think EVERYONE would welcome that on here. It's exactly what we need. Resistance from within the Islamic community to extremism. 

Ultimately - that's what will rid us if the problem. As opposed to bombing the idea out of them if you know what I mean? 

I still don't think we're that far apart really. Any of us. Including the Trumpers. What we want is a safe, secure world, where we can go about our business, doing what we think is right and what we enjoy, and providing we're not harming anybody physically, or preventing them from getting on in life through the way the system is put together, then happy days. 

We don't need to hate each other for having different ideas about how to get there. 

It's a bit like the Greenland thing I was talking about the other day I suppose. If they can agree it with the people of Greenland and Denmark without using force or just making life so scary and unbearable for them that they have to give in. I woundn't have any ideological reasons why the US shouldn't administer it. 

In fact - in a secure, friendly and genuinely co-operative NATO that really was built on a collective need, maintained a defensive posture and (I'm with Trump on this one) everyone contributed. I think I might even welcome it. And I never thought I'd here myself say that 24 months ago. 

I can see the idea behind what the US are trying to do. And while I don't always agree on the methods they use - I can see the strategy. And why they think it ultimately might make the world a better place to live. IE - dismantle the non nuclear powers in the other axis and kind of geo-politically cripple China and Russia to within their own 'spheres if influence' or whatever you want to call them. 

So we might lean a bit towards the left. But it doesn't mean all of us are idealogicly opposed to everything all the time. And I don't want to stop anybody living their life in the way that they want to (again given the caveats I spelled out earlier. 

Sorry - I've gone off on a tangent here while I wait for my flat pack cupboard to be delivered! 😁

Trumpy is himself one of those nutters and bigots.

I agree, though I guarantee it won't when normal Iranians and normal Israelis become friendly.
