Before making the correct decision and going with Europe.
Orange gimp is unpopular in the UK, in the replies yougov said the 4% saying favorable to Putin were pretty much reform voters, unsurprisingly

That's quite shocking, TBH.

Enjoy, and hope it happens soon.
It’s sounds excessive and then you just need to imagine something like a full Ibrox and it starts to make sense.Quote:

If economic hardship persists for many people in the countries supporting Ukraine, then it will be exploited by the Right to turn people against it, and use it to their political ends.
When Musk really starts to interfere in our electoral process the misinformation will be off the charts - and his propaganda works, regardless of how unhinged it is.
For example, chat of there being more political dissidents in jail in the UK than in Russia rightly raises a chuckle at the moment, but once stuff like that gets parroted over and over again by the morons and grifters on the Right - and the Russian bots and Musk’s minions on Twitter - it seeps through, as we have seen in the States.
Liz Truss crawled out from under her rock this week to pipe up about the UK needing a MAGA movement. She’s a ****ing maniac but this stuff doesn’t come from nowhere. Her shamelessness makes her a potential asset to the Right, and she hasn’t allied herself to Trump and Bannon by accident.
Of course our MAGA movement was basically the rabid Brexiteers during the referendum campaign, and we know how easily manipulated they were. Many of them will be ripe for another bull**** campaign to sweep them along, and an anti-Ukraine stance would suit them perfectly (despite it contravening all their apparent beliefs on sovereignty).
Alternatively a Europe that shows it can deal with its own security and gains 40m new citizens might start to flourish.Quote:

The AfD will unfortunately gain a significant portion of the vote on Sunday, but not enough to stop the mainstream centre parties forming an anti fascist coalition.Quote:

This is what you get even when you only voted for Trump for “economic reasons”.Quote:

By the time they have to vote again all the people who don’t like him will be ineligible to vote.[emoji23]Quote:

Noticed on Reddit this morning there have been more than a few "3rd term" hints being dropped, Trump himself even mentioned it towards the end of his first term in office I think.
Watch this fire start to take hold over the next few months.
Constitution is clear so would require violence.Quote:
