Crispin Blunt, MP for Reigate, agreed to be interviewed by me for a student society I was running at the time. A week later, he was arrested for rape and illegal drugs. Needless to say, the interview didn't go ahead.
Name a piece of political lore about yourself
In 2024, around 40% of building construction workers in Germany were migrants
Probably has nothing to do with the fact that Germany took in millions of refugees & asylum seekers over the past few years…
"Canadian foreign policy is way too captive to one-way sentimental relationships instead of our own self-interest." - Canadian who openly wants American annexation
Canada sucks up hard to Australia and they make a security alliance that excludes us. Canada sucks up hard to Europe and they make an economic deal that will hurt us. Canadian foreign policy is way too captive to one-way sentimental relationships instead of our own self-interest.
“This guy is Somali so he must be stupid” is, like, textbook racism. Like KKK in the 1800s level racism
DID YOU KNOW: The average IQ in Somalia is 68
I think Mitterand put it best: "Beneath the surface, you find someone who isn't stupid, who has great good sense...*What he does not perceive with this intelligence, he feels by nature*." HW was obviously brainier, but he lacked "the vision thing." Reagan didn't.
The more you read about Ronald Reagan the more you realize the reason why he was so successful is *because* he was such an idiot

The Anglo obsession with home ownership caused this. If everyone owns their home, they have an interest in seeing prices rise as much as possible; if they rent, they have an interest in them falling as much as possible.
House prices have increased much more steeply in the English-speaking countries than in Western Europe.
Have you read any dystopian novels? 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451 all quite clearly show how people support their repressive govs
Most dystopian stories are terrible because it depicts people as being "oppressed" by the dystopia and wants to overthrow it, if only there's a spark that will ignite the Revolution. In reality most people will totally love the dystopia. They will vote for it.
Is that why all the rich Russian kids leave Russia for school and holiday in Paris, London, Munich, Vienna? And why Russia steals thousands of Ukrainian kids each year?
Russia is one of the most kid-friendly countries. Maternity leave is around 3 years paid. You also get money from the gov for each child which you can then use towards a home or education.
We would be in a much better place if liberals reacted to hard leftists the way those leftists react to liberals
The thing conservatives are most correct about is that mainstream liberals have a baffling tendency to be soft on the kind of hard leftists who quite openly admit that they want to kill liberals.
if you see certain artists boycotting bc “sending drones to Ukraine is bad” they are dumb + support genocide
⚡ Spotify CEO David Ek has invested over €600M in Helsing, a German defense tech firm supplying AI-powered drones to Ukraine. united24media.com/latest-news/sp…
stay away from men who hate women and women who hate men. they’re both miserable retards.

Cope
The humongous anti-freedom wave in the UK is so depressing, it will inevitably engulf the rest of the world too
i hate the fact that math and science smart students are considered smarter than english and history smart students
The Gulf War is the one war in the last 35 years that everyone agrees that was a good thing lmao
We would all do the exact same btw if it was our father
Hunter Biden isn’t a bad guy who deserves zero opportunities for public redemption because he did crack, he’s a bad guy because he purposefully deluded his aging, incompetent father about his chances of winning the 2024 election, dooming this country to fascist Trumpian rule.
I wonder how much better the world would be if everyone who drank loads smoked weed instead. There would be more schizophrenia cases (probably), but far less productivity loss, domestic abuse incidents, violent crime, car accidents.
Weed smokers stink and can be annoying. But drunk people commit 49% of violent crimes, 73% of domestic abuse incidents, and 18% of road accidents. There is no comparison here.
Weed smokers have no idea how much people hate walking into a park or public space and finding someone slowing turning themselves retarded while making everything within a 100 yards of them smell like a dead skunk.
Stormzy is an extremely influential musician who has donated over £10 million to fund scholarships at top British universities... but he's a dodgy driver who admitted to robbing pizza delivery drivers as a teenager, so deserves nothing. Unbelievably stupi
