I say “Hurrah” for any nation which continues to allow democratic parties snd elections. In the UK we have been shocked by the cancellation of elections and the persistent attempt to do so again; only the intervention of Farage and Reform forced the local elections this year.
Political parties which do not support the elites are trashed by the state broadcaster and the Prime Minister. Investigations into them are based on trivia whereas substantial, material breaches by them are dismissed with minor financial penalties, if at all.
"Political parties which do not support the elites are trashed by the state broadcaster"
We in the USA have a snide trope that a government that denies Second Amendment rights under the rubric of, "Citizens don't need guns, that's what police and the army are for," will invariably proceed to, "Citizens don't need independent media, that's why we run CPB/NPR/PBS for you."
GB has had non-state media for longer than the USA has existed and there is no movement to get rid of it despite that it implemented gun control 30 years ago.
The biggest problem is Ofcom's censorship apparatus, but literally every country other than the USA has censorship problems, and let's not forget how pliant your newspapers are. No government intervention was necessary to convert your entire media ecosystem beyond Fox News and the NY Post into gray leftist goo.
There's no bile here, just cold realism. Americans must NOT become complacent or get distracted with irrelevant things. The idea gun control automatically leads to the end of independent media is false. Focus on what's true.
I stress this point because fighting over gun rights has been catastrophic for the American right, sucking up huge amounts of energy and making it far more dangerous to be openly right wing there, for zero political benefit. Which side is actually grabbing their guns to overthrow perceived tyranny, again? It's the left, who have lots of martyrs willing to actually die to take out Republicans. Meanwhile the Republicans sit politely at home and ask the police to do their job, no different to the situation in Britain or anywhere else.
I am an American, I live here and I'm an endowment member of the NRA- National Rifle Association. We regular citizens have donated billions of dollars and spent countless hours defending our gun right very successfully against the hard authoritarian leftists and the wanna be fascists in the Democrat Party. Further our gun rights are ensconced in the 2nd Amendment of our U.S. Constitution.
Your arguments seem weird. Uninformed. I assure you we are not sitting on our asses in our armchairs distracted or complacent. Far from it buddy. We are well aware of what the political tyrants on the left are up to and we are winning in the courts, at least for now.
These same bastards, are the ones who acted like dictators and tyrants during the scamdemic, with their hard censorship and drug injection mandates, firing the unwilling. They are also the same un-American schemers who are behind the 30 million illegal aliens we now have to spend huge amounts of dollars to collect up and deport. And... who have rigged our elections in several of the so called "blue states". We know the issues over here. Frustrating as they are.
Let me add this. We grow weary of listening to all the nutty things Starmer and his fools are up to. They seem to have lost their Western values. We are beginning to wonder if we should want the UK as allies given the direction your fascist wankers are taking you, and the citizens apparently going along like sheep. They can't jail all of you. I'm for chopping you off. NATO as well. I'm not alone. Our leftists are bad enough on their own. We don't need them feeding off of the madness, tyranny and totalitarianism happening in the UK.
Starmer and the the jerks who are under him have destroyed freedom in Britain. Why hasn't the population stood up and run him off? Now what's he doing, as their economy and manufacturing industries fail, begun to look at every photo about to be published on social media? Good Lord.
Those of us outside the USA are somewhat bored by the USA view it is perfect.
You and I know it is not.
You and I know Europe pays the USA through the nose - not a single bullet is 'free'.
You and I know the USA 'assisted' in blowing up Nordstream 1 and 2, leading to some of the highest energy costs in the world... supplied by, why, oh my, the USA! Who knew?
What Alistair writes is the truth.
Oh, and yes, we are getting rid of WEF UN loving trash, the Labour party.
Believe me, many of us in the states realize how far from perfect we are here,but at least we're putting up a fight. It remains to be seen how it will end up. The most disheartening thing to me is watching Britain fall so easily.
Also The state of Kansas today said that the state no longer has transgender people ..because they don’t exist ..and just like that they don’t . By tomorrow everyone in Kansas will be either a man or a woman . If you are a man , you can still wear a dress into the men’s room to urinate although you may feel a bit uncomfortable if it was the men’s locker room at the club .
*no personal pronouns used in the following rant are directed towards any individual. I'm just spitballing*
Just think how fucked we'd be if the population wasn't well armed. Just like Britain and France. Pretending to freedoms they never had and probably never will. One day, their grandchildren might realize that uncontrolled immigration was a really bad idea, just like mandating the population take an untested bio-weapon mis labeled as a vaccine - to treat a bio weapon mis labeled as a naturally occurring virus. Or how about the bail-ins in Greece? Anyone remember those? Coming soon to a banking system near you - or hell, we'll just deplatform you for not adhering to our employee code of conduct. Sorry sucker, keep your opinion in line - or else.
You have to be brain dead to accept European politics as anything other than a giant mind fuck. The delusions of pathologically narcissistic sociopaths run rampant in fever dreams of unbridled greed and contempt for life itself- enabled by people who for some reason can't do anything about the fact that they sold the rights to their future to a bunch of lascivious ass clowns. They're not just stupid, they're mean. That's what I say about the Democrats here in the States. I live in NY. Hochul is a nut job, an incompetent ninny and Maddumi is laughable. What a cretin. And what a cretinous people to allow ranked choice voting in the first place. Crikey. It's a good thing many of us a well armed and trained.
I cannot fathom what is going on in the heads of the 'establishment' in the UK. It's as tho they think Britain is solely their domain. Forget about what the citizens want. I'm praying - and pulling for you, Brits. Tommy Robinson was just in the U.S. - so glad to see him get the warm welcome he deserves. He is one of Britain's brightest lights.
Didn’t you guys give us the Magna Carta ? Whaaa happened ? Is it true ..no more trial by jury ..like Kafka “ The Trial “ . Are the pubs re@lly shutdown due to being a hotbed of ..fun? It seems England has the haunting fear that somewhere someone might be having fun .
"They had such clear proofs of all the Evil Nazi Fascist Hitlerism lurking within the AfD that they could not even reveal them. Doing so, Faeser said, would compromise the mysterious sources and methods of her highly sophisticated political spy agency."
Don't underestimate the sophistication of highly sophisticated national political spy agencies.
Kristi Noem just revealed today that she discovered that:
1. Her own "employees" installed spyware on her devices to spy on her and record sensitive meetings
2. They were operating a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, an entire room dedicated to intelligence communications) that was off the maps and unknown to Cabinet-level appointees, filled with information and evidence not available to anyone else in the department.
And she doesn't even RUN a spy agency, just a federal cop agency.
There are so many deep-staters embedded in every federal agency trying to obstruct Trump's reforms that I'm surprised that Trump's cabinet can get anything done.
That may be due to the fact that lifetime bureaucrats tend to do very little except writing memos and seizing every emerging opportunity to shorten their working days. Or as Professor Parkinson put it:
"That people should live by reading each other's memoranda is regarded, in official circles, as perfectly natural."
(C. Northcote Parkinson: "The Law of Delay", 1972, p. 10)
Curtis Yarvin met with Vance and Musk in 2024 to discuss RAGE ..Retire all Government Employees. It was too radical then .. But 2028 that’s what Vance will propose . As Yarvin says “we are good at printing money , so give them all generous retirement benefits “
This was why Curtis Yarvin came up with RAGE several years ago . Retire all Government Employees.. JD Vance and Heritage were in touch with the reclusive Yarvin . Musk backpedaled a bit with DOGE . But Yarvins model was Germany 1945 . You just pay all the German employees,even the Stasi their pensions but ..you must go . Yarvin proposed 2 years salary plus full pensions and then close all agencies and Create new ones ..like FDR did . Initially encouraged by the demise of USAID , Yarvin says they blew it and all the tech bros are now waiting for Vance to say “ Uh we tried this democracy thing but time to try a Monarch ..an accountable every 4 years
Actually, I seem to remember that at one time -- back in the 1800s -- Presidents had the authority to fire anyone they wanted upon assuming office. That must have been abolished with the typical arguments about "continuity" and "stability", but considering what we have now, it could not have been all that bad.
Worked just fine, until our first Democrat president (of course!) overreached and "spoiled" it for everybody.
The reaction was a "merit-based" civil service. In grade school, we were taught this was a "valuable reform," while all the time it was mutating into the bureaucratic Deep State right under our snotty little noses.
More proof that there isn't a governmental system known to man that can't be perverted and turned to corruption and tyranny... and in politics, if something can be, it will be.
If their opponents had not been stupid, lazy, and irresolute frauds, the AfD would not have been in trouble and Germany would not be as messed up as it is. Stupid, lazy, and irresolute people always bring about their own downfall. The problem is that they can do a lot of damage in the process.
Thank you for reading through that 1000 page nothingburger pdf last year too! That gave me a few laughs.
I wonder what happens when the AfD wins its first mayorship in a not-small town or city. Everyone else refuses to work with the mayor? The AfD sells out? An actual successful follow-through? Time will tell.
I just finished listening to your interview on Calmversations, and very much enjoyed it. I'm 'Murrican and so I don't really understand German politics, but I can say: Many Such Cases.
Everything about this post was fantastic! From AfD's preliminary win in court (thank God there are still judges using their brains), to your first-hand experience of the highly ambitious and driven Afghan migrants just itching to contribute their share to the German economy.
This is proof the system is compromised. Evil is working against our democracy at the highest levels. The uniparty must redouble its efforts to identify internal saboteurs.
Curious, I looked up the Ramadan fast. Lasting over four weeks, it sounds pretty impressive. You're supposed to refrain from eating drinking smoking and sex...
*During daylight hours*.
Many of us do something very similar voluntarily – it's called intermittent fasting.
And yet no one will ever apologize or face consequences for calling them against the constitution. Get arrested for calling a politician bald but not for wrongfully saying a whole party should be made illegal. They never talk about the proliferation of fake news on social media or elsewhere when it is them spreading it... Make it make sense.
Today's heroes are what we call over here "whistleblowers." Like Edward Snowden and Julian Assange, they take huge personal risks in order to get the truth out to the public. They stand alone against the overwhelming retaliatory powers of our (basically) fascist governmental institutions. Whoever leaked that 1,000 page document is one of these heroes. My admiration for these individuals is unbounded.
There’s so little to uplift our spirits in Britain that we must rejoice in others’ good fortune. Hurrah for Germany.
I say “Hurrah” for any nation which continues to allow democratic parties snd elections. In the UK we have been shocked by the cancellation of elections and the persistent attempt to do so again; only the intervention of Farage and Reform forced the local elections this year.

Perhaps direct your bile where it will cleanse your nation of Starmer and his ilk.

In the past week Ofcom have via Google infected the VPN.
It's getting harder to see anything.

I too am envious of Germany's byzantine legal system we used to laugh at that is actually upholding some democratic norms while ours jails tweeters.
At least we got the Hamit Koskun (koran burner) verdict today.
I heard there are no more pubs allowed because someone might say something inappropriate
Encouraging news! Thanks.

Seriously?
jeeeez
Something tells me the malingering Afghan has a buyer in mind after he steals the piano he is encouraging you to purchase.
But that would be the most work he has done all month!
Ha ha!
The AfD seems to have had the good fortune that its most ardent opponents are stupid, lazy and irresolute. There is hope yet perhaps.
If their opponents had not been stupid, lazy, and irresolute frauds, the AfD would not have been in trouble and Germany would not be as messed up as it is. Stupid, lazy, and irresolute people always bring about their own downfall. The problem is that they can do a lot of damage in the process.
WOW! A bright ray of sanity breaks through the brick wall of resistance!!
That’s huge!! And definitely cause for celebration! 🥳
LOVED the movers anecdote! 🤣

This is proof the system is compromised. Evil is working against our democracy at the highest levels. The uniparty must redouble its efforts to identify internal saboteurs.
It always seems crazy to me that the crazed left just assumes their values are the only constitutionally acceptable policies.
They need to be broken
If not accepted, you’re either racist, misogynist, Islamophobic, Homophobic, or Fascist.
Apparent im “all of the above”.
And this is how they create what they call “extremes”.
Curious, I looked up the Ramadan fast. Lasting over four weeks, it sounds pretty impressive. You're supposed to refrain from eating drinking smoking and sex...
*During daylight hours*.
Many of us do something very similar voluntarily – it's called intermittent fasting.
Sounds like a smoke break isn't exactly allowed.
Anyone who has been to the ME during Ramadan can confirm that some simply shift daylight activities to the nighttime hours.
Sorry, just pointing out a typo. You probably meant "one of".
"It turned out to be on the stupidest and most trivial documents I’ve ever read."
Also, "its": "exactly the opposite of what it’s architects had intended."
