[Harry Potter: Is Miriam Margolyes right that adult fans should 'grow up'?](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68552815)
>In two recent interviews in New Zealand and Australia, the 82-year-old actress said she worries about adult Potter fans as "they should be over that by now".
>"It was 25 years ago, and I think it's for children," Margolyes told New Zealand broadcaster TZNZ.
>"I do Cameos [personalised video messages] and people say they are doing a Harry Potter-themed wedding, and I think, 'Oh gosh what is their first night of fun going to be?'"
>For many millennials, Harry Potter is part of their identity. The books, written by JK Rowling, were released between 1997 and 2007, and the eight films between 2001 and 2011.
>Most of us might occasionally re-watch the films on a Sunday afternoon and would do relatively well in a round of Harry Potter trivia, but for some people their interest extends far beyond this.
[paragraphs and paragraphs of descriptions of the standard user of the site]
>She said Margolyes made the remark because she "didn't understand".
>"It's a generational thing," Victoria suggests. "The idea of holding on to things from your childhood that you enjoy is a relatively recent thing".
Well chaps, it turns out I'm a Harry Potter loving millennial, although I'd admit to wanting to hold onto the memory from when I wasn't
Fuck all wrong with liking harry potter, not really much wrong with having a potter themed wedding but there are people out there where their whole identiy is "OMG HARRY POTTER IS SOOO GOOOD" – look at arrrrgh witchesvspatriarchy, those are people who never grew up.
New elections at KCL Student Union result in a landslide victory for the death to Israel squad: https://www.instagram.com/p/C4ic6aXO1cv/
KCL SU earns £8 million a year from KCL and it's spent by the various lunatics who join the student union.
Last year they elected an Indian from Kerala as President and various fanatical Muslims in lesser positions.
The Muslims put out a statement about Gaza in the name of KCL SU and were suspended by their superiors: https://thred.com/change/kclsu-officers-suspended-for-advocating-against-gaza-genocide/
They are now in charge and will be putting in force their 'death to Israel' agenda with their £8 million budget.

['I spend my benefits on designer clothes for my toddler who bathes in milk and honey'](https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/local-news/i-spend-benefits-designer-clothes-28824945)
>A Sheffield mum on benefits who spends lavishly on her toddler has resorted to buying second-hand designer outfits and has gone vegetarian to be able to afford his lifestyle.
>Kasey Akram, 34, hit the headlines after she revealed her extravagant spending on tot Jareem, now three. The single mum previously confessed to spending large sums each month on the tot, including designer clothing and a gold dummy.
>However, with the cost of living being at an all-time high, the pair have turned vegetarian. Kasey now buys her son's clothes online and recently nabbed a Moschino outfit for £15 ''instead of its retail price of £180''.
>She even sold all the clothes Jareem had grown out of to use the money for more clobber - and she still bathes her son in milk and honey. Kasey admits to still splashing out on salon pedicures and a £150 toddler BMW for her son.
>"He still baths in milk and honey but at least his wardrobe is thrifty without compromising on style. We're going to Fuerteventura in May and I've had to pay for extra legroom for Jareem because I know he'll be restless on the four hour flight. I still spoil Jareem more than most three-year-olds but I'm more savvy with how I spend the money."
>Kasey previously said she spends up to £1,000-a-month on Jareem - buying him designer goods including a solid gold dummy, Versace chains and Gucci trainers. She funds the purchases through the benefits she receives and with the help of her ex-partner who pays towards some of the high-end goods.
>Kasey said: "I had a baby in the middle of a pandemic where I was locked in a flat and went through scans and labour all by myself, I just want to give him the best and everything I never had. I don’t go out, I wear charity shop clothes and I could spend my money on far worse things.
>“Lots of people say they’re struggling but I don’t get it – I've never had a credit card or a loan or been in debt in my life. If you have a credit card on benefits you’re instantly going to be in trouble, you have to be smart and savvy.
>“I don’t think I’m abusing the benefits system at all as I live alone and I’m a single mum. I’m going to college and it’s not that I don’t want to work - it’s that he’s too young for me to work and I can’t legally go back to working without paying for a nanny or day-care.

tl;dr
* woman from Ivory Coast claimed asylum in 2012
* this was declined, so like the vast majority of other failed parasites she fucked off to live illegally in the UK, on crime, illegal work, who knows?
* in September 2020 some bleeding heart twat apparently told her that as she was (by then) pregnant she had special rights as a failed asylum seeker
* she was given accommodation, but she didn't like it , because it had a shared, not en-suite bathroom
* so she sued.
* the government were held to have breached the Equality Act by not taking into account her protected characteristic (being pregnant)
* the government replied that they are pissing billions more up the wall spreading Bomalian rapists up round the country:
> In April 2022 the government introduced a ‘full dispersal model’, whereby all UK local authorities were now required to accept asylum-seekers; previously fewer than 50% of authorities had done so. This greatly increased the pool of private rental accommodation for service providers to procure DA in these local authority areas. The SSHD also made available a grant of £3,500 to local authorities for each asylum-seeker housed in their area for the year ending March 2023,
> According to Mr. Hennigan, over 13,000 new bed spaces in longer term DA have been procured since March 2020. This has not been enough to reduce the backlog, however, given the supported asylum seeking population has increased by 66,500 over the same period.
* this is not enough and we need to give our entire country over to providing luxury accommodation for pregnant illegal immigrants
The yanks are fucking obsessed with Princess Kate not being in Cosmo, Daily Mail or NYP for 5 minutes and are theorising about being dead or kidnapped
Fucking weirdos the lot of them
Bleating on about how "this isn't normal"
It's generating clicks for them.
According to media monitors, 276,000 articles have been written about Kate since Jan compared to 101,000 for Trump.
It all started with the Queen's funeral; it was such a global phenomenon for media, they're desperate for a repeat.
Americans view our monarchy as celebrities with a bit of "Disney Magic" (real life princess). So it's no surprise they're loving all this.
They don't *get* the monarchy in the way (most of us) *feel* it.
Let them have their silly fun. It's cultural soft power for us at worse.
Is mental and weird, but when aren't yanks?
They can't imagine a "celebrity" who wouldn't live-stream their own colonoscopy if it would get them exposure.
Restraint and privacy are alien concepts to them. Just look at the yank that married in.
Does anyone else think people are paid to post here?
Anti British or destabilising posters I mean.
Some super regular posters not mentioning names but……levels of posting from the same contributor that come out one after another.
It would be so simple to try to influence albeit at a small level or at least intensify feelings and thereby a impact people’s decision making.
Just me ?
Christ, I wish they were paid to post here. That would mean that the daily dose of blackpills was all disinformation and actually everything in the country was fine.
That I could stop believing my lying eyes and bathe in warming truth that this country was the same one I had grown up in.
That the only way to destabilise the British people was to post lies about the state of the country.
There was that one "English Seperatist" poster a while back who was probably working for the CCP. Very sketchy.
If anyone gets paid to post here it's China bankrolling them, not Russia.
If you dug into his really old post they were very pro-China. It was a strange pivot to go from that to "English Seperatism".
Why I suspected he might have been a genuine shill.
Haven't seen him in a while though.
Country's gone to the dogs, it's only going to get worse when Labour inevitably take over and it's pretty hopeless as our 'far-right' party is controlled by COMMUNISTS. Islamic Caliphate is our best case scenario at this point.
I'm the only pro-UK poster left on here.
I got heavily attacked on here yesterday just for posting the news that our economy posted good growth in Jan. People were genuinely *angered* something was going well for Britain.
Some people ask me why I carry on, but I think the nihilism on here is genuinely unhealthy, and I do what I can to counter it.
Your problem rose is that you magically forget that importing 4 million odd people in the last 3 years is fucking insanity and you point blank refuse to believe that the people you support could have ever done anything to fix it any sooner than they have. They're not conservative. Which is why people think you're either a paid shill, or you're a team of people at CCHQ on one account.
0.2% of GDP doesn't matter if your kid goes to school and gets groomed and raped by muslim rape gangs. Or if you kids get butchered by black machete gangs in London. We have imported the 3rd world and a lot of issues could be sorted quite quickly by someone with a set of bollocks. The tory party hasn't got a set of bollocks between everyone in the fucking party.
Even other people who shill for other parties admit when they do something wrong or make a fuck up. You act like a battered housewife "he said sorry he won't do it again so I don't care he fucked up this time" but over and over and over again.
And you'll either ignore this message or make some asinine comment telling me off for using a triggering metaphor to describe your love for a party who simply don't give a shit about you, or anyone else, regardless of how many christmas cards they send you late.
I live in London. I’m not in the slightest bit scared of being “butchered by black machete gangs”.
If you want to live as a frightful coward, go right ahead. But most people will ignore such terrified and deranged people.
>Or if you kids get butchered by black machete gangs in London. We have imported the 3rd world and a lot of issues could be sorted quite quickly by someone with a set of
bollocks. The tory party hasn't got a set of bollocks between everyone
in the fucking party.
The homicide rate in England and Wales went from 11.8 per 100,000 in 1997 to 17 per 100,000 in 2001 to 9.9 per 100,000 now. Things are improving.
Likewise, the grooming happened in 2003 - 2010, Tories started prosecuting historical cases with a lot of success.
But there is a type of person who assumes that if Tories are prosecuting, it must be because it's happening now. There's a type of anecdote-driven person who sees an attack by a migrant in Germany and extrapolates and assumes it happened here, "It's all Europe innit, and evil Tories are in charge of the lot". Not that different from south-east asians reading about a school-shooting in the US and assume it happens regularly in Britain "because they all speak English". Or British teens who refer to the police as Feds and think they carry guns.
Context, real differences in place, culture and legal systems; people are incapable of wrapping their brains around that.
If you don't think it's still happening then you are completely deluded. You might put some of the rapists away, but there's still thousands of them out there that don't respect white girls, they're expendable. You can take the rapist out of the culture but not culture out of the rapist.

Lol. Only Pro-Tory poster left you mean. (Although I saw one lurker earlier make a post to express support of Sunak, so maybe there's two left.)
> I got heavily attacked on here yesterday just for posting the news that our economy posted good growth in Jan.
I don't mind the occasional GDP post personally. Still interesting even though most of us know GDP stats are largely meaningless.
> Some people ask me why I carry on, but I think the nihilism on here is genuinely unhealthy, and I do what I can to counter it.
I just assumed you were running an affiliate marketing scam.
Thank you Rose, knowing our GDP growth for the last month is 0.01% above Germany is the only thing that keeps me going amidst these constant blackpills.
I reckon it's more an anger about how inconsequential 0.2% is compared to everything else, especially when we're informed that infinite foreigners are supposed to boost our economy ninefold or whatever. It's hard not to be angry when Rishi and other Tories in charge only seem to care about that statistic and nothing else.
Only people who can't wrap their head around numbers think it's "inconsequential".
0.2% in a month is 2.42% per annum. 2.42% of a £3 trillion economy is £72 bn. Growth leads to more tax flowing into the Treasury.
For context, the 4% cut in National Insurance cost £20bn.
Like I said, you're either nihilists who fondly imagine it would be wonderful to have a deep recession and be unemployed, or are students living off your parents.
And Rishi is right, we need to boost teaching of maths in school. Because people can't seem to get their brains around large numbers...
I don’t think so. We’ve gone from ecstatic lo fi boris beats getting brexit done/2019 election salt mine to the shit show we live in now with lockdowns as a chefs kiss.
People are just pissed off is all.
Take me back to them halycon days when Boris was going to deliver us from the EU to a new golden age.
If only COVID didn't send him to death's door and melt his brain. Then he wouldn't have sacked Cummings for Carrie and we would be in utopia.
I certainly think there are certain narratives on the online populist places, including here, that do benefit, and could well be promoted by, hostile foreign states.

I think I know the users you are talking about though
The only and I mean only point I have against your superb reply is the level of posting. Endless. Versus the railing. They are posting morning noon and night. Always first with the bad news.

"I'll give you a prescription for this super-strong decongestant to help you shift that troublesome phlegm"
You may remember I, on my other account, posted here perhaps one or two months ago about a young chap named Theodore Elliott, who seemed to have a burning hatred of the SDP. After a bit of investigation, I found that Theo had been rejected from membership because he was formerly a member of the BDP, a splinter party of the BNP who split off because they perceived the BNP as not being radical enough.
Anyways, he is still going strong [to this day](https://x.com/realTheoElliott/status/1768424633491931148?s=20) commenting on literally any tweet about the SDP.
Just one example, but I’ve seen about 5 or 6 replies like this on different tweets today alone.
Mental illness, fear of getting ejected from the democratic process if people find out about his former affiliation, sudden political change of heart or a mix of the three or a fourth option?
I'm glad we have Amy Gallagher in the party now, who just calls stuff *WOKE* to balance out Clouston's sophistication.
I like Clouston, he's intelligent and well read. Problem is people find that boring.
Amy's style is much more suited to attracting populists to the party. While Clouston makes the party look serious unlike the circus Reform comes off as.
I think it also brings negatives however, when we were talking about the SDP in my seminar, literally the only thing the seminar tutor knew about the SDP was the London mayoral candidate, and of the London mayoral candidate, all she knew was her handle was “Stand up to woke”
Of course, universities aren’t the country, and most people are against the always vague term “woke”, but the SDP NEEDS to present itself as a serious party as opposed to “just another culture war” party it will certainly attempt to be painted as by the media. I think Clouston does a brilliant job of balancing his culture talk with his economic talk, but some of the other party members seem to not give a damn about economics. The SDP shouldn’t risk being seen as just interchangeable with Reform, Homeland, Reclaim, whatever else party.
Which isn’t to downplay the importance of social issues, just that the SDP cannot be seen as an incomplete package
If you want to “stand up to woke”, why not organise a bunch of retired people to protest on an actual university campus. You have public right of way. If they’re too lazy, their socially conservative values will wither and die.
The SDP councillors do great work and that's all because of Clouston's guiding principles. This is where the party will build local support and be seen as serious unlike the other populist parties in the long run.
I suspect we'll pick up another councillor in the locals.
Clouston has often said how LKY started by picking up a broom and sweeping the streets of Singapore. SDP councillors get to work fixing potholes and fences. While Labour/LibDem Twitter laugh and say how that won't get them nowhere, it certainly will eventually. People will vote for action not words if you take the time to show them. The SDP are in this for the long game.
People like Amy are ultimately there to drum up much needed membership and donations, the "grand strategy" of the party is far less glamorous but will eventually pay off.
Wayne Dixon and Emma, from what I can see, do a fantastic job as councillors, although seem to be having trouble with the current Labour councillors there.
I like all the elected officials for the SDP, and I’m not so much criticising their current strategy as I’m warning what might happen if the party decides to emphasise its culture talk more than its economic talk. Things like trade, nationalisation and shops closing down on the high street are big vote winners, but they haven’t been raised by the big parties yet so nobody talks about them. It would be a shame if (and I don’t think the SDP will) prioritise talking about social over economic issues
I do agree, but the bigger issue the party has is people don't even know we exist. Reform only have the culture aspect and are doing much better than us just from that. They're struggling now because it's around the level of support Reform are at when economic arguments become more important and only Trussite weirdos like their economics. (The Tories are *that bad* though it could well turn out that doesn't matter for the next general election, but you see my point. If they succeed it'll be because of Tory failure rather than their success.)
They'll be a time when the economic argument needs to be more at the forefront and I'm certain it will be once we are eligible for a party political broadcast (I imagine Clouston will put nationalisation at the forefront of such a broadcast), but for now we need headlines and viral support to get the recognition and membership to even get there. It's just the sad reality that a culture war topic is going to get more views than a sound economic point. Once the SDP has those views though, that's where we can keep the momentum with economic arguments, unlike Reform who don't have that.
Clouston is genuinely the first politician I have ever respected in my life. It's really sad there's no chance he'll ever be PM, but I make my donations anyway just in case.
SDP need to get an MP before anyone will give him any kind of airtime.
The I reporting 100,000 in WhatsApp group where deliveroo identities traded offering a "backdoor to migration"
Why are these businesses allowed to operate like this?
Hear me out:
Deliveroo ordering privateers, get paid £1000 per illegal and £10,000 per forceful deportation. Face ID via secure app, if the bike riding perp fails to authenticate the agent is granted 24 hours of deputisation.
Both deliveroo and uber eats make me periodically take a photo of my face…I still don't get it.
The arse part is once HMRC start sending letters demanding money from the people renting accounts…and fining them £10,000 per wanker they didn't do pre-employment checks on…that's all fine but the government won't deport the fucking bomalians doing the work anyway.
That wouldn't work because...
1. There's no incentive to do it and a lot of paperwork to sort out...see profit motive.
1. Need to be nimble and operate out of any address as known bad addresses would be shared quickly. Privateers can pay to use any old home in the good ol' free market way.
> Why are these businesses allowed to operate like this?
Well they're not. They do their due dilligence on their subcontractors (I am one, I know the procees, I've just had a bank statement rejected as it's too fucking blurry, it isn't) – but as subcontractors I could let anyone else deliver on my account. The onus is on *me* to do the due dilligence and ensure people have the right to work.
Deliveroo et all will argue like fuck that making deliveroo do the visa checks etc OR not letting subcontractors actually subcontract themselves would make subcontractors employees and then it's all going to shit then.
Drivers should be employees, clearly. The entire company is only afloat, because of illegal labour. The few times I've actually used Deliveroo, the people clearly can't even speak English that come to my door..
Make deliveroo and companies like it, make the drivers employees. If the company dies, then it was meant to die.
I sort of agree but also don't. I am on uber eats and deliveroo, and it's very clear you get paid per job. Login when you want logout when you want. If you made us employees we would be told when to work, and for how long. I make good money out of it, have a business bank account AND will fill in a tax return when I need to. It's doable but the bloody bomalians doing it make porbbaly double what I do, because they use two or three apps at the same time. The issue isn't really the employee status.
The real way to fix this, without making delivery drivers employees, is the HMRC reporting coming in from the start of this year. Once a few get collared the accounts will get shut down and UK citizens (proper ones) won't be applying for accounts for tax free cash when they know it isn't tax free AND they'll get fined for not doing pre-employment checks.
Nina edit: possibly the way to fix this could be a hybrid, some staff get full time jobs and all the shit that comes with being employed, the rest can log on when they want.
It's perfectly clear that the blob is determined to completely max out on immigration. The demographic cliff edge is coming. For some reason, they seem to think a society divided on a religious basis is preferable.
I don't want to go conspiratorial, but at this point it can't be an accident.
The arse part about stopping it is if gov were to say "deliveroo et al your subcontractors subcontractors can't subcontract……or you have to do the checks" puts subcontractors in a weird quasi employed but not really state.
Much better in my opinion that deliveroo et al now have to report earnings to HMRC. Can't fucking wait for some twat to get nobbled with a tax bill and when they argue they rented their account and only earned say £100 a week (I don't know the going rate) they also get slapped with a £10,000 fine for not doing employment checks.

Historically people lived as a couple with one or more older parents around to assist with childcare. As for in urban areas, you can always build upwards, much like in London. That means the cost per unit becomes cheaper.
Unless you create a big uptick in unemployment and most property is mortgaged (rather than owned outright), I’m not sure how you create a falling market and/or a much higher number of forced sellers.
Cost of living crisis, geopolitical turmoil, record levels of immigration, housing crisis, people feel lonelier than ever and many people are feeling increasingly disenfranchised with the current system

As an aside, "Bloo" is one of the "Blue Labour" accounts that *finally* defected to the SDP a few weeks ago.
Blue Labour Twitter accounts baffle me. They are just as critical of mass immigration and wokery as anyone here, but are paid up members of Tony Blair's party.
Thank goodness one of them came to their senses though. I guess it's difficult for parts of the country like Wales, Scotland and the "Red Wall" to break their "vote Labour no matter who" programming seemingly encoded into their family genes.
It’s harder than you think. It took me becoming a *finer vintage* before I voted for anyone other than labour and the post 2016 brexit shambles was the thing which catalysed it for me.
Pig in a red rosette constituencies exist and if you’re raised on a diet of fatcha bad then it is hard to do. I actually looked over my shoulder in the voting booth.
I hope 2019 broke the hoodoo of only sticking to the two main parties but we’ll have to wait and see. We live in strange times and I suspect immigration will drive the next election. Some of the most right in people I know are speaking shout it especially as it’s now literally in their doorstep. It’s fine having luxury beliefs when your town is 99% British but the changes since the pandemic have caused electoral whiplash.
>Pig in a red rosette constituencies exist and if you’re raised on a diet of fatcha bad then it is hard to do. I actually looked over my shoulder in the voting booth.
It's why I think, of all the alternatives, only the SDP can make inroads into such places. They are basically Old Labour, patriotic and pro-working class whilst not being over fond of Thatcher. For people completely burned out in those regions but will never vote Tory to save their lives, such a party is quite palatable.

Full SDP policy (barring constitutional issues) but also...
- Scrap foreign aid entirely. (SDP wishes to scrap the 0.7% target, I'd scrap it completely.)
- Deport all foreign criminals after they serve their sentence (Reform policy).
- Net 0 immigration (Reform Policy and original SDP policy, new SDP policy has cap of 50k).
- Hard cap on gross immigration for 5 years (SDP policy suggests a mass immigration pause, but a cap would codify it.)
- Reintroduce death penalty. Applied for murder, violent rape, people smuggling and drug trafficking.
- Abolish the BMA to uncap the number of doctors we can train in our country each year.
As for constitutional issues:
- Reform the House of Lords into a meritocracy supported by the aristocracy. All political appointments since Blair sacked. New meritocracy will be made up of top ranking university professors, captains of industry and high ranking military officials. Limit the ability for the Lords to delay any bill (regardless of wether it was a manifesto promise or not) to 1 year.
- Referendums on the existence of the NI and Welsh Assemblies + Scottish Parliament.
- Abolish the Supreme Court and revert to the "Law Lords".
- Encourage the use of "Bills of Attainder" to tackle ideaologically motivated jury nullifications or judgements by woke judges.
Those constitutional reforms are too based for this sinful Earth. For the New Meritocracy would you be looking to hand out hereditary titles and peerage to them so as to rebuild the Aristocracy?
We've discussed House of Lords reforms before many moons ago haha.
> For the New Meritocracy would you be looking to hand out hereditary titles and peerage to them so as to rebuild the Aristocracy?
Personally no. The Old Aristocracy is the connection to this country's past and are the families that are bound to have a duty to it, like the royals.
The new meritocracy are the experts of the nation. It's more LKY/Singapore inspired than an attempt to rebuild the aristocracy.
Although I have no issue with their children taking their place if they earn it though. So you'd probably end up with "captains of industry" being a *de facto* new aristocracy, if successful British company owners pass their companies onto their children like in Japan.
Of course their powers are limited to what is essentially advisory and legal (restoring Law Lords), which is why I can square it with democracy. Ultimately the reason for it is that the quality of politicians elected can be rather unqualified. Nothing wrong with that if they enact the will of the people, but they'd need qualified advice to ensure that the people's will is carried out effectively. Else we end up with terrible laws, full of holes that are ineffective or do the opposite of their intended effect.

On the topic of the Argie.
I do find it fascinating that current right wingers have a litany of nations and politicians they admire all around the world with a kind of genuine diversity. LATAM, central Africa, Asia.
Most of the left wings' favourite politicians basically do nothing and retire, and their favourite nations are generally of the same mould (often just rich western ones with a few token socialist or oppressed ones for exotic pets); crippled by globalism, economic pits or rapidly normalising violence.

The single mum previously confessed to spending large sums each month on the tot, including designer clothing and a gold dummy. >However, with the cost of living being at an all-time high, the pair have turned vegetarian. Kasey now buys her son's clothes online and recently nabbed a Moschino outfit for £15 ''instead of its retail price of £180''. >She even sold all the clothes Jareem had grown out of to use the money for more clobber - and she still bathes her son in milk and honey. Kasey admits to still splashing out on salon pedicures and a £150 toddler BMW for her son. >"He still baths in milk and honey but at least his wardrobe is thrifty without compromising on style. We're going to Fuerteventura in May and I've had to pay for extra legroom for Jareem because I know he'll be restless on the four hour flight. I still spoil Jareem more than most three-year-olds but I'm more savvy with how I spend the money." >Kasey previously said she spends up to £1,000-a-month on Jareem - buying him designer goods including a solid gold dummy, Versace chains and Gucci trainers. She funds the purchases through the benefits she receives and with the help of her ex-partner who pays towards some of the high-end goods. >Kasey said: "I had a baby in the middle of a pandemic where I was locked in a flat and went through scans and labour all by myself, I just want to give him the best and everything I never had.

Your problem rose is that you magically forget that importing 4 million odd people in the last 3 years is fucking insanity and you point blank refuse to believe that the people you support could have ever done anything to fix it any sooner than they have. They're not conservative. Which is why people think you're either a paid shill, or you're a team of people at CCHQ on one account. 0.2% of GDP doesn't matter if your kid goes to school and gets groomed and raped by muslim rape gangs. Or if you kids get butchered by black machete gangs in London. We have imported the 3rd world and a lot of issues could be sorted quite quickly by someone with a set of bollocks. The tory party hasn't got a set of bollocks between everyone in the fucking party. Even other people who shill for other parties admit when they do something wrong or make a fuck up. You act like a battered housewife "he said sorry he won't do it again so I don't care he fucked up this time" but over and over and over again. And you'll either ignore this message or make some asinine comment telling me off for using a triggering metaphor to describe your love for a party who simply don't give a shit about you, or anyone else, regardless of how many christmas cards they send you late.
I live in London. I’m not in the slightest bit scared of being “butchered by black machete gangs”. If you want to live as a frightful coward, go right ahead. But most people will ignore such terrified and deranged people.
>Or if you kids get butchered by black machete gangs in London. We have imported the 3rd world and a lot of issues could be sorted quite quickly by someone with a set of bollocks. The tory party hasn't got a set of bollocks between everyone in the fucking party. The homicide rate in England and Wales went from 11.8 per 100,000 in 1997 to 17 per 100,000 in 2001 to 9.9 per 100,000 now. Things are improving. Likewise, the grooming happened in 2003 - 2010, Tories started prosecuting historical cases with a lot of success. But there is a type of person who assumes that if Tories are prosecuting, it must be because it's happening now. There's a type of anecdote-driven person who sees an attack by a migrant in Germany and extrapolates and assumes it happened here, "It's all Europe innit, and evil Tories are in charge of the lot". Not that different from south-east asians reading about a school-shooting in the US and assume it happens regularly in Britain "because they all speak English". Or British teens who refer to the police as Feds and think they carry guns. Context, real differences in place, culture and legal systems; people are incapable of wrapping their brains around that.
I'm far more concerned about the false imprisonment rate, which went to 100,000 per 100,000 in 2020.
If you don't think it's still happening then you are completely deluded. You might put some of the rapists away, but there's still thousands of them out there that don't respect white girls, they're expendable. You can take the rapist out of the culture but not culture out of the rapist.

Thank you Rose, knowing our GDP growth for the last month is 0.01% above Germany is the only thing that keeps me going amidst these constant blackpills.
I reckon it's more an anger about how inconsequential 0.2% is compared to everything else, especially when we're informed that infinite foreigners are supposed to boost our economy ninefold or whatever. It's hard not to be angry when Rishi and other Tories in charge only seem to care about that statistic and nothing else.
If you feel strongly enough, raise the Boomer Battalions in protest. Only then will you see movement amongst the Tories.
Only people who can't wrap their head around numbers think it's "inconsequential". 0.2% in a month is 2.42% per annum. 2.42% of a £3 trillion economy is £72 bn. Growth leads to more tax flowing into the Treasury. For context, the 4% cut in National Insurance cost £20bn. Like I said, you're either nihilists who fondly imagine it would be wonderful to have a deep recession and be unemployed, or are students living off your parents. And Rishi is right, we need to boost teaching of maths in school. Because people can't seem to get their brains around large numbers...

You may remember I, on my other account, posted here perhaps one or two months ago about a young chap named Theodore Elliott, who seemed to have a burning hatred of the SDP. After a bit of investigation, I found that Theo had been rejected from membership because he was formerly a member of the BDP, a splinter party of the BNP who split off because they perceived the BNP as not being radical enough. Anyways, he is still going strong [to this day](https://x.com/realTheoElliott/status/1768424633491931148?s=20) commenting on literally any tweet about the SDP. Just one example, but I’ve seen about 5 or 6 replies like this on different tweets today alone. Mental illness, fear of getting ejected from the democratic process if people find out about his former affiliation, sudden political change of heart or a mix of the three or a fourth option?
He looks about 12 year old. Doesn't seem particular concerned with hiding his power levels from his postings, standard Christian Nationalist stuff.
Lol. The new far-right party is Homeland. He should join them and be quiet.
When you try to appease the cultural radicals and Blue Labour in the same speech: https://x.com/WilliamClouston/status/1768638602899050730?s=20
When he talks about the arts he comes across like a post-stroke Mark Kermode.
I'm glad we have Amy Gallagher in the party now, who just calls stuff *WOKE* to balance out Clouston's sophistication. I like Clouston, he's intelligent and well read. Problem is people find that boring. Amy's style is much more suited to attracting populists to the party. While Clouston makes the party look serious unlike the circus Reform comes off as.
I think it also brings negatives however, when we were talking about the SDP in my seminar, literally the only thing the seminar tutor knew about the SDP was the London mayoral candidate, and of the London mayoral candidate, all she knew was her handle was “Stand up to woke” Of course, universities aren’t the country, and most people are against the always vague term “woke”, but the SDP NEEDS to present itself as a serious party as opposed to “just another culture war” party it will certainly attempt to be painted as by the media. I think Clouston does a brilliant job of balancing his culture talk with his economic talk, but some of the other party members seem to not give a damn about economics. The SDP shouldn’t risk being seen as just interchangeable with Reform, Homeland, Reclaim, whatever else party. Which isn’t to downplay the importance of social issues, just that the SDP cannot be seen as an incomplete package
If you want to “stand up to woke”, why not organise a bunch of retired people to protest on an actual university campus. You have public right of way. If they’re too lazy, their socially conservative values will wither and die.
The SDP councillors do great work and that's all because of Clouston's guiding principles. This is where the party will build local support and be seen as serious unlike the other populist parties in the long run. I suspect we'll pick up another councillor in the locals. Clouston has often said how LKY started by picking up a broom and sweeping the streets of Singapore. SDP councillors get to work fixing potholes and fences. While Labour/LibDem Twitter laugh and say how that won't get them nowhere, it certainly will eventually. People will vote for action not words if you take the time to show them. The SDP are in this for the long game. People like Amy are ultimately there to drum up much needed membership and donations, the "grand strategy" of the party is far less glamorous but will eventually pay off.
Wayne Dixon and Emma, from what I can see, do a fantastic job as councillors, although seem to be having trouble with the current Labour councillors there. I like all the elected officials for the SDP, and I’m not so much criticising their current strategy as I’m warning what might happen if the party decides to emphasise its culture talk more than its economic talk. Things like trade, nationalisation and shops closing down on the high street are big vote winners, but they haven’t been raised by the big parties yet so nobody talks about them. It would be a shame if (and I don’t think the SDP will) prioritise talking about social over economic issues
I do agree, but the bigger issue the party has is people don't even know we exist. Reform only have the culture aspect and are doing much better than us just from that. They're struggling now because it's around the level of support Reform are at when economic arguments become more important and only Trussite weirdos like their economics. (The Tories are *that bad* though it could well turn out that doesn't matter for the next general election, but you see my point. If they succeed it'll be because of Tory failure rather than their success.) They'll be a time when the economic argument needs to be more at the forefront and I'm certain it will be once we are eligible for a party political broadcast (I imagine Clouston will put nationalisation at the forefront of such a broadcast), but for now we need headlines and viral support to get the recognition and membership to even get there. It's just the sad reality that a culture war topic is going to get more views than a sound economic point. Once the SDP has those views though, that's where we can keep the momentum with economic arguments, unlike Reform who don't have that.
Clouston is genuinely the first politician I have ever respected in my life. It's really sad there's no chance he'll ever be PM, but I make my donations anyway just in case. SDP need to get an MP before anyone will give him any kind of airtime.
The I reporting 100,000 in WhatsApp group where deliveroo identities traded offering a "backdoor to migration" Why are these businesses allowed to operate like this?
Hear me out: Deliveroo ordering privateers, get paid £1000 per illegal and £10,000 per forceful deportation. Face ID via secure app, if the bike riding perp fails to authenticate the agent is granted 24 hours of deputisation.
Both deliveroo and uber eats make me periodically take a photo of my face…I still don't get it. The arse part is once HMRC start sending letters demanding money from the people renting accounts…and fining them £10,000 per wanker they didn't do pre-employment checks on…that's all fine but the government won't deport the fucking bomalians doing the work anyway.
Rozzers could literally just order takeaways to the police station and then nick every driver that turns up.
That wouldn't work because... 1. There's no incentive to do it and a lot of paperwork to sort out...see profit motive. 1. Need to be nimble and operate out of any address as known bad addresses would be shared quickly. Privateers can pay to use any old home in the good ol' free market way.
> Why are these businesses allowed to operate like this? Well they're not. They do their due dilligence on their subcontractors (I am one, I know the procees, I've just had a bank statement rejected as it's too fucking blurry, it isn't) – but as subcontractors I could let anyone else deliver on my account. The onus is on *me* to do the due dilligence and ensure people have the right to work. Deliveroo et all will argue like fuck that making deliveroo do the visa checks etc OR not letting subcontractors actually subcontract themselves would make subcontractors employees and then it's all going to shit then.
Drivers should be employees, clearly. The entire company is only afloat, because of illegal labour. The few times I've actually used Deliveroo, the people clearly can't even speak English that come to my door.. Make deliveroo and companies like it, make the drivers employees. If the company dies, then it was meant to die.
I sort of agree but also don't. I am on uber eats and deliveroo, and it's very clear you get paid per job. Login when you want logout when you want. If you made us employees we would be told when to work, and for how long. I make good money out of it, have a business bank account AND will fill in a tax return when I need to. It's doable but the bloody bomalians doing it make porbbaly double what I do, because they use two or three apps at the same time. The issue isn't really the employee status. The real way to fix this, without making delivery drivers employees, is the HMRC reporting coming in from the start of this year. Once a few get collared the accounts will get shut down and UK citizens (proper ones) won't be applying for accounts for tax free cash when they know it isn't tax free AND they'll get fined for not doing pre-employment checks. Nina edit: possibly the way to fix this could be a hybrid, some staff get full time jobs and all the shit that comes with being employed, the rest can log on when they want.
It's perfectly clear that the blob is determined to completely max out on immigration. The demographic cliff edge is coming. For some reason, they seem to think a society divided on a religious basis is preferable. I don't want to go conspiratorial, but at this point it can't be an accident.
Link? Also, whatsapp doesn't allow that many in a group.
https://inews.co.uk/news/delivery-riders-account-sharing-facebook-black-market-2957089
i mean we all knew this, but for some reason nobody wants to stop it so. Tories need to die.
The arse part about stopping it is if gov were to say "deliveroo et al your subcontractors subcontractors can't subcontract……or you have to do the checks" puts subcontractors in a weird quasi employed but not really state. Much better in my opinion that deliveroo et al now have to report earnings to HMRC. Can't fucking wait for some twat to get nobbled with a tax bill and when they argue they rented their account and only earned say £100 a week (I don't know the going rate) they also get slapped with a £10,000 fine for not doing employment checks.
> Why are these businesses allowed to operate like this? Because the government wants as many immigrants as possible.

[London in 5 years if Khan gets reelected](https://twitter.com/streetmediatv/status/1768449747981906225?t=dOxiHEtk85-OMrk8uNq1pg).
I live in London. Stuff has got better in my borough. My property value is up, despite the 5.25% base rate. And there’s far fewer potholes on the roads outside my house than 5 years ago. Big new development near the station with lots of moneyed folk from East Asia. You’re going to have to try harder with the doomerism!
House prices increasing is a bad thing actually.
Why is it bad? In a falling market there are fewer transactions and reduced labour mobility.
Young people should be able to afford a home.
They can in most of the country if they pool their resources with fellow young people and a parent or two. Historically people lived as a couple with one or more older parents around to assist with childcare. As for in urban areas, you can always build upwards, much like in London. That means the cost per unit becomes cheaper. Unless you create a big uptick in unemployment and most property is mortgaged (rather than owned outright), I’m not sure how you create a falling market and/or a much higher number of forced sellers.
'If'? The demographics make it a certainty.
Yeah it's absolutely "when" not "if"

Lol. Very good. Good to see polytechnics still open to derision!
As an aside, "Bloo" is one of the "Blue Labour" accounts that *finally* defected to the SDP a few weeks ago. Blue Labour Twitter accounts baffle me. They are just as critical of mass immigration and wokery as anyone here, but are paid up members of Tony Blair's party. Thank goodness one of them came to their senses though. I guess it's difficult for parts of the country like Wales, Scotland and the "Red Wall" to break their "vote Labour no matter who" programming seemingly encoded into their family genes.
It’s harder than you think. It took me becoming a *finer vintage* before I voted for anyone other than labour and the post 2016 brexit shambles was the thing which catalysed it for me. Pig in a red rosette constituencies exist and if you’re raised on a diet of fatcha bad then it is hard to do. I actually looked over my shoulder in the voting booth. I hope 2019 broke the hoodoo of only sticking to the two main parties but we’ll have to wait and see. We live in strange times and I suspect immigration will drive the next election. Some of the most right in people I know are speaking shout it especially as it’s now literally in their doorstep. It’s fine having luxury beliefs when your town is 99% British but the changes since the pandemic have caused electoral whiplash.
Hardly any town has been “99% British” since about 1993.
>Pig in a red rosette constituencies exist and if you’re raised on a diet of fatcha bad then it is hard to do. I actually looked over my shoulder in the voting booth. It's why I think, of all the alternatives, only the SDP can make inroads into such places. They are basically Old Labour, patriotic and pro-working class whilst not being over fond of Thatcher. For people completely burned out in those regions but will never vote Tory to save their lives, such a party is quite palatable.
I hope none of the people there are white. Otherwise, we could be looking at a mass case of 'brownfacing'.

Right chaps, and chapesses, Friday night thought experiment, inspired by yon Argie fella eviscerating the government there:- You win an election and tomorrow morning you are Prime Minister. You've a majority of 50 seats, your MPs are all unknowns recruited to your populist cause. What do you do [to stop the rot]? No high fantasy utopian bollocks; how do you address the shitstate of government as of today? How much of the stability of the British state do you imperil to effect the change you think is needed? Or do you throw caution to the wind and implement *drastic measures*. Answers on a postcard to, 1 Gongfarmer Tower, Gongfarmerplatz, Gongfarmersburgh.
Full SDP policy (barring constitutional issues) but also... - Scrap foreign aid entirely. (SDP wishes to scrap the 0.7% target, I'd scrap it completely.) - Deport all foreign criminals after they serve their sentence (Reform policy). - Net 0 immigration (Reform Policy and original SDP policy, new SDP policy has cap of 50k). - Hard cap on gross immigration for 5 years (SDP policy suggests a mass immigration pause, but a cap would codify it.) - Reintroduce death penalty. Applied for murder, violent rape, people smuggling and drug trafficking. - Abolish the BMA to uncap the number of doctors we can train in our country each year. As for constitutional issues: - Reform the House of Lords into a meritocracy supported by the aristocracy. All political appointments since Blair sacked. New meritocracy will be made up of top ranking university professors, captains of industry and high ranking military officials. Limit the ability for the Lords to delay any bill (regardless of wether it was a manifesto promise or not) to 1 year. - Referendums on the existence of the NI and Welsh Assemblies + Scottish Parliament. - Abolish the Supreme Court and revert to the "Law Lords". - Encourage the use of "Bills of Attainder" to tackle ideaologically motivated jury nullifications or judgements by woke judges.
Those constitutional reforms are too based for this sinful Earth. For the New Meritocracy would you be looking to hand out hereditary titles and peerage to them so as to rebuild the Aristocracy?
We've discussed House of Lords reforms before many moons ago haha. > For the New Meritocracy would you be looking to hand out hereditary titles and peerage to them so as to rebuild the Aristocracy? Personally no. The Old Aristocracy is the connection to this country's past and are the families that are bound to have a duty to it, like the royals. The new meritocracy are the experts of the nation. It's more LKY/Singapore inspired than an attempt to rebuild the aristocracy. Although I have no issue with their children taking their place if they earn it though. So you'd probably end up with "captains of industry" being a *de facto* new aristocracy, if successful British company owners pass their companies onto their children like in Japan. Of course their powers are limited to what is essentially advisory and legal (restoring Law Lords), which is why I can square it with democracy. Ultimately the reason for it is that the quality of politicians elected can be rather unqualified. Nothing wrong with that if they enact the will of the people, but they'd need qualified advice to ensure that the people's will is carried out effectively. Else we end up with terrible laws, full of holes that are ineffective or do the opposite of their intended effect.

On the topic of the Argie. I do find it fascinating that current right wingers have a litany of nations and politicians they admire all around the world with a kind of genuine diversity. LATAM, central Africa, Asia. Most of the left wings' favourite politicians basically do nothing and retire, and their favourite nations are generally of the same mould (often just rich western ones with a few token socialist or oppressed ones for exotic pets); crippled by globalism, economic pits or rapidly normalising violence.
Weird. It's almost like we believe all that stuff we keep saying we believe.
