Well, three million is still way too much, but I absolutely agree.

stop listening to billionaires, they're not telling you the facts

This. This a hundred times over.

What is this weird timeline where the so-called common man has decided to put his faith with billionaires all of a sudden?

It's like, we're (rightfully) sceptical of the ability of the urbanites—journalists, politicians, liberal lawyers and so on—to relate to society's actual problems; so we're now pretending that billionaires can relate?

By the way, are we just going to ignore the fact that a mere five years ago, the same business figures who're now flocking to Farage, Trump and the likes were all vocal proponents of liberal migration policies?

Today’s update.

We are thinking about increasing military spending, just in time to dump the actual issue on the next government.
Starmer just lost a high court case about cancelling local elections- brought by farage. Government now has to pay farages costs, and elections must go ahead.
Starmer now wants to ban under 16 from internet, and age control vpn’s access.
A lot of noise about people door knocking to get people to not buy Israeli produce.

What do we import from Israel? The only Israeli products I've noticed were grapefruits.

Dates and similar. Most probably grown by Israeli Arabs, or West Bank Palestinians, if they are still allowed into Israel.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Oof, this Epstein S**t is going to blow up "our" world elites faster than an ICBM onto a residential building in Kharkiv.

First and foremost feel terribly sorry for the victims, as for the rest of this tentacular galaxy of Pedos billionaires; may they hang tight.

The arrest sounds like it's related to him passing on confidential government information whilst he was a government trade envoy - if we can't get him for sex crime stuff then this is at least a consolation prize. Much prefer this approach than "moving on" from Epstein related stuff. I eagerly await finding out what other British scumbags were involved with him.

This is correct, forgive me if I wasn’t clear but I’m not accusing Andrew to have done shady things to kids, only pointing out the implications of the utter shitshow that’s the Epstein thing.

Which, btw I’m afraid is only a beginning both in Europe and the US…

Rather amusing an "administrative offense" is what got him arrested and not being part of a human trafficking ring.

He's denied a lot of stuff that has now been proven to be true via the release of the files so when he says he's not a child rapist I have absolutely no reason to believe him.

Fair. Thanks.

Kings of the past would have swept this kind of nastiness under the rug, and I'm glad to see this King has come out with this letter.

The rot has to be cut out, if the Windsors are to prevail over time.

Transparency wasn't a pressing issue back then.

Especially when it was about the private life of the Royal Family, not matter how sordid.

And there was the whole "standing" and prestige of all of the news-papers.

Talking about a member of the Royal family having committed repugnant crimes? Slanderous lies, how dare you!

There was a lot of intrigue, slandering and defamation though among kings, nobility, clergy and guilds all wrestling each other for power, influence and wealth. Making the opposition thought of as corrupt heathen inbred bastard foreigners was a widespread tactic. Even past the Renaissance the media always served a master.
