>>2866903Was it really wasted if it was money spent on an emergency healthcare response? Like you can't expect that to be perfectly economically efficient.
>>2866996I mean I kinda thought that at first, but like, £10 billion is a LOT of money, there was probably staggering amounts of corruption in that process
I'm proud I never liked this K-word. Was so annoying when that Borat movie was popular.

>He is a graduate of the Habonim Dror School of racist comedy. A Zionist grooming and radicalisation vehicle for young Jews.
>Here's the article I wrote about it [link in replies]:
<The Habonim Dror School of Racist Comedy>Source: Al Mayadeen English 31 Aug 2022.>In their attempts to groom and radicalize Jewish children and young people, into ideological partisans of the ideology of Zionism, the Zionist movement seems to have fostered an identifiable strand of racist comedy. Zionist youth groups such as Habonim Dror are key to this according to the testimony of former members.
>The Zionist movement makes a very significant investment in the indoctrination of Jewish children and young people. In the UK, the largest group fundraising for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine is the United Jewish Israel Appeal (UJIA).
>It invests in a wide range of organizations for young people, all dedicated to fostering the racist ideology of Zionism. But it also schools and coaches young Jews in wider racist ideas and ideologies. How does this work out when they grow up?
>Take the example of a school in North London, the Haberdashers’ Aske’s School – now known more simply as Haberdashers’ after dropping the name ‘Aske’s’. This was because the Merchant, Robert Aske, was an investor in the Royal African Company which had a monopoly on the British slave trade. As with most areas of public life in the UK children who attend private schools are significantly over-represented in elite professions including in the entertainment industry. As it happens, significant numbers of nationally and internationally known entertainers attended the school including :
>Matt Lucas and Ashley Blaker who were behind the popular comedy show Little Britain.Robert Popper, who among his other activities was Commissioning editor at Channel Four where he commissioned Bo’Selecta and produced two series of the comedy Peep Show.
David Baddiel, the stand-up comedian, and co-host of Fantasy Football League.
Perhaps best known is Sacha Baron-Cohen who made his name presenting himself as a young Muslim (Ali G), pretending to be black, and then played a series of other Muslim comedy characters including Borat in the internationally known film of the same name.
>Work produced by all five has been criticized or removed from streaming services for racism.
>However, many of those involved in the British comedy world (such as Baddiel, his brother Ivor, Popper, Baron-Cohen, the producer of Whose Line is it Anyway/Mock the Week, Dan Patterson, and his colleague in both shows, Mark Leveson) also credit a little known Zionist youth group - Habonim Dror - as playing a role in their success. The Jewish Chronicle reported that Lucas was a Habonim alumnus. He subsequently clarified the was a member of RSY-Netzer, which was, however, also signed up to the racist ideology of Zionism, through formal membership of the Zionist Federation and thus the World Zionist Organisation.Read more:

The Job Centre is much more streamlined since you just fill out a form and get paid each interval.
>>2866996nah the procurement process was laughably corrupt. for example: tory peer michelle mone is currently being sued because she told the government they should give PPE Medpro a contract to give the NHS surgical gowns and face masks. they did, and it turned out the PPE they provided was so bad it was unusable. what she didn't mention at the time is that she and her husband had an offshore trust that got millions of pounds of profit from its stake in PPE Medpro. (PPE Medpro itself went into liquidation without paying the government what it owed, so they're currently trying to get it back of her, her husband, and the other beneficiaries.)
(long time scottish nationalists may remember her ditching Scotland for London in 2015 because the SNP apparently turned it into an angry, divided country riven with hatred and also loathed successful businesspeople like herself, and for getting into a twitter spat in like 2018 after they made fun of her for having a poor attendance record even by house of lords standards.)-
not going all in on this corruption angle is one of starmer's many failures. every single negative question by a Tory or Reform person was an opportunity to go "yeah well you and your bent mates stole [x] million"
Israel was never popular in this country.
I fear there is this collective revisionist history is being made, where, Israel was popular then Oct7 happened and then everyone turned against Israel, either because of the genocide or because antisemitism, depending which side of the culture war you are on.
Feel like the truth is, at least in my experience, Israel was widely unpopular, Israel and Palestine was used to denounce Corbyn, sowing the seeds of the culture war and muddying the issue, Israel steadily rises, Oct7 happens and this turns into an open rupture with the culture-war we see around the issue today.
>>2866996Anon, it was just handouts for mates. this was a scandal at the time.
>>2867172Fuck you on about, you know they make you come in to the jobcentre and constantly try to kick you off benefits right?
>>2867322So, what exactly is your issue?
>>2867435I need a train ticket…
>>2867324Separating 'benefits' from 'jobcentre' is incoherent, it's the same system
>>2867435i remember socdem flag advocating for "beautiful lady😍🥰, ayrshire" to be a wordfilter because it would at one stroke (a) annoy anti-trans idpol weirdoes and (b) show that the word is water off a duck's back by being playful and not actually removing it, just making it inherently silly when used as an insult.
mods didn't do it tho
>>2867443That's dumb and would just encourage them
Damn none of you bongs are watching the game? I guess all the footie enthusiasts no longer post here.
>>2867456i havent really been feeling like following the world cup since its being hosted in the US and i dont know where to watch it
>>2867456Don't like sports
>>2867456I just watch the highlights
>>2867456Not an England supporter and anyway I'll hear about the interesting bits from my friends and family
I'm rooting for England because Argentines have been so annoying lately.
ENGLANDDDDDDDDD
IT'S CAMMON 'OME!
something very unbecoming about twitter lefties trying to contort themselves to do "haha we won the falklands war" LARP but wokely
the correct take is that the falklands are irrelevant but that winning the falklands was psychologically ruinous for britain while losing could've set us on the path to accepting that we're a normal mid-sized european country that should focus on a high standard of living, not a half-nation half-empire justified in unlimited arrogance.
never forget: you can always say nothing!
Englishmen vs. Spanish Balconies, name a more iconic finale
>>2867476Why are people saying Argentina is zionist?
It’s over, lads…
Nooooo
Englerland, it is not over yet, but now I am going to be stuck here for another half hour. Goddamn overtime matches.
Hold the line.
Ok now I am mad. You cucks have zero momentum since the first goal. Cowards.
Has parking the bus ever worked?
no…..
Englernad…
Kane nonexistent all tourney
STARMER HAS RAN ON THE PITCH TO MAKE THE EQUALISER!!!
>>2867489My Prime minister…
YA BOTTLED IT
>>2867468secretly gratified to go look at their timelines and see them all riffing on Argentina when the score was 1-0, then going strangely quiet and talking about other things.

<Zionists win
Binface status?
>>2867511they hate britain becuase they view the nakda as a liberation war from british empire. also because of today and muh islam and muh londonistan hamas qatar sadik khan
>>2867435Been there, nice enough place for a Scottish seaside town.
>>2867558>>2867511Pedro Sanchez, you know what you must do.
>>2867561Pedro Sanchez just extended Spanish jurisdiction of the Spanish border force over Gibraltar's external borders with Gibraltar's Schengen accession two days ago. Don't think they are supportive of the UK side in territorial conflicts.
>>2867513USians seem really insecure lately and constantly try to assert supremacy over everyone. It's odd because even critics of the country seem to need to insert this defense of its increasingly odious behavior *everywhere* even when its a total non-sequitor.
One part about English culture I really like are tea rooms. I love tea rooms so much it is such a vibe.
Why did you people job so hard against ArgenSSimians?
>>2867580He isn't a zionist nonce though.
https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/article-902589UK judge orders ICJ Palestine to pay £82,130 to British-Israeli IDF soldier it tried to prosecute>As covered by The Jerusalem Post at the end of June, the ICJP formally applied for a court summons to prosecute Soldier A for allegedly breaching Britain’s Foreign Enlistment Act (FEA) of 1870.
>UK judge orders ICJ Palestine to pay full legal costs of £82,130 to a British-Israeli dual national it tried to prosecute for serving in the IDF.
>The story, as covered by The Jerusalem Post at the end of June, is that the ICJP formally applied for a court summons to prosecute Soldier A for allegedly breaching Britain’s Foreign Enlistment Act (FEA) of 1870 by voluntarily serving in the Israeli military.
>The ICJP’s attempt failed dramatically in court, with Senior District Judge Paul Goldspring of Westminster Magistrates’ Court unleashing a damning polemic against the ICJP’s legal team. Goldspring called the attempt “egregious” and legally “inadmissible.”
>He also called it “fundamentally misconceived in law,” as the FEA does not apply to dual nationals.
>Then, on June 19, Goldspring ruled that the ICJP must pay legal costs to Soldier A, the exact amount of which was just revealed on Friday.
>In the new ruling, Goldspring ruled that, where a private prosecution is commenced on the “basis of culpable, profound breaches of the fundamental duty of candor, costs should be assessed on an indemnity basis to properly restore the Defendant’s position.”Lol. Israelis are literally above the law.
