Hehehe. Lets hope Nigel doesn't become PM - he would go with Prince Andrew to wash plates in Musks kitchen.

I see some difference between KS and Kemi. At least one is not calling our carers 'bottom wipers'. Kemi needs to start addressing issues. I'm genuinely curious as to how she'd have handled Trump et.al

Lol, the RF would take Andy out first before ever letting him return to the USA.

Well you'll get to see this when we roll out the red carpet (again) for Trump - if she's still leader.

In the meantime her article in the Telegraph should give you a view on how she might engage with Trump. She also addresses and proposes some solutions to issues on Ukraine ,defence spending and security.

Donald Trump is showing everyone democracy is overrated.

Apart from democracy, what other safer options are available?

Despise is the correct word.

Most people have forgotten that Trump's beef with Z started back in 2019 when he tried to coerce Z into investigating Biden in order to find dirt that would damage Biden's 2020 campaign.

Z refused to play ball. Trump retaliated by blocking Congress approved aid to Ukraine before being forced to do a U turn when a whistleblower exposed the sordid going-ons. The rest is history - Trump was eventually impeached and Biden won the election.

I doubt Trump has forgotten or forgiven this.

Of course, he doesn't like Z guy and looks irritated with his presence from the moment he welcomed him outside the oval office. All the talk about his dressing was just evidence of how disgusted he is with him, and he can't even hide it. Even have little respect for the country and people of Ukraine- none at all! This idea that he is a man who likes to say it how it is and how he feels is nothing but foolishness. There is a quote from Proverbs in the Bible that says 'Only a fool utters all his mind! and another quote from the same proverbs says Discretion shall preserve you! Discretion is far and running away from this Baba!

Oya oh Europeans warmongers over to you...
Let's see how long before you run back to daddy. 😂

While Europeans are busy playing cards. China is taking steps to counter America's tariff war.

This means that Zelensky will most likely have to resign so the Americans can find someone more likely to do what they want.

Well, he's done well and fought a really good fight, and history will be kind to him when the story of this war comes to be told.

The type our political elites are operating in Nigeria..... 😁😂🇳🇬

Dear all,

I don’t know if this is peculiar to me or someone else had experienced/is experiencing same.

I submitted a visa application since January 2025 and no decision till date (more than 8weeks).
Other colleague from same organization submitted her own application after mine and got decision within 3 days.

I have called UKVI and was told I should wait for a decision after 8 weeks. In my follow up mail, I got a response that there was a problem with ISC payment link and no advice on timescale to resolve.

Is there any other action I can take to get the decision on time? The wait is traumatic and affecting other family plans.

Thanks.

Donald Trump has finally avoided 3rd world war. Good grief!

With US aid to Ukraine withdrawn, and with Europe in shambles. Russia rolls into Kiev and takes over Ukraine. Russia declares victory. Ukraine is subdued and licks their wounds. Zelensky is offered asylum in Holborn/ St Pancras or Islington.

Where then is the 3rd world war Trump was trumpeting about?

PS: Putin has his hands on the ‘rare earth minerals’ too.

Now folks, let’s all go for our shifts/jobs/businesses/hustle.

be careful what you wish for!

J D Vance had to row back quickly after running his mouth yet again and trying to diss the UK as some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years.

I guess he forgot when the US begged asked the UK to back them in the war against Iraq and Afghanistan after they came under attack on 9/11, and we and many other EU countries ed their fight and lost thousands of soldiers in the process. It also marked the beginning of the end of Blair's premiership.

And Vance was going on about disrespect last week. Silly.

How many people are listening to the balderdash from Donald...... 😊😁

Complaining about the increase in the prices of eggs, in American (orchestrated by Joe Biden)...... 😁😂😊

Drill baby Drill..... 🤣 Donald's ego, would be too small, to fit in the Atlantic ocean.......😁

As usual, he tore the foreign aid bill apart (again) ... 🙄😉

Trump's ego us too big to let europe lead the ukranian issue. He'll be back on that table soon.

He is just posturing for more attention and to flex his power.

For someone like trump, unused power is wasted power.

On the subject of Vance shading the UK? According to our resident mealy-mouthed defender of western civilization, he actually did not;

“Kemi Badenoch defends JD Vance over ‘random country’ comments

Speaking to GB News, Badenoch said: “I know JD Vance quite well. I’ve looked at the comments, I don’t think he actually said that! A lot of people are getting carried away. They’re saying loads of things and getting quite animated let’s keep cool heads.

“America is our closest ally and I believe that President Trump and JD Vance want peace, they’re looking after their national interests, we need to do so as well.”

When Badenoch was asked if she therefore believed Vance had been referring to instead of the United Kingdom, she responded: “I’m not getting into that speculation.” “

https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/kemi-badenoch-defends-jd-vance-over-random-country-comments-390380/

Looks like Badenough is only a warrior capable of talking straight when it comes to care workers, and she’s always definitive about their plans, culture, morals etc etc. When it comes to others she becomes afraid of getting into speculation.

Can Londoners confirm this? Is this truly in London subway? Lol

She has to say something, just like Vance she is trying desperately to make sense each she opens her mouth

Not a spectacle for the faint of heart or healthy of mind.
Easier to catch a very brief summary in the morning.

It likely is. I haven’t seen it personally though but other similar stuff have been posted. It’s not an official ad. It’s activists doing it.

Don't be misled by the cherry pickers lol. Starmer's government also defended/ excused Vance's remarks:

Speaking after Mr Vance clarified his remarks, a Downing Street spokesperson said the US vice president was " talking about other countries" when asked if he should apologise .

"Other countries" - Comme qui? lol

I guess denial is much more palatable than asking Trump Jnr to apologise. Tough talk is reserved for PMQs only 😂

That guy is a kid, imagine him saying he didn’t mention the name of any country as a silly defence. It’s not even two months, these kids in the oval office are just pooing all over the place.

Let him kotinu e go explain explain tire 😂 Dude is not a good crisis manager all he has is his mouth. Let’s just pray we don’t have another global crisis like Covid, it won’t be funny anymore

After the school, multiple cleaning and warehouse jobs, I need to go on 3 international holidays: Prague in Czech Republic, Netherlands and Denmark. Has anyone visited any of these places? Please can someone suggest which is easier (Schengen) to get the visa.?

@agidipie

Netherlands. You’ll get multiple-entry with one year validity

I haven’t come across this yet but I think it is photoshopped. If it was an Ad then it may have been through as only Ads are displayed inside London Underground trains and it needs to fix by a underground staff..

Google “London tube activist ads”.

People post them to mimic real ads. Of course they get taken down but they often go viral in the interim. I’ve looked this one up and it seems real.

Like the saying goes "beggars have no choice" Zelensky is already begging after US stopped military aid... Peace must be achieved
