- Be New Zealand.- RNZAF's Skyhawks need replacing.- US offers 'deal of the century': 28 nearly new F16s, upgraded, + training, weapons & spares incl. - All for $8m/yr.- Labour elected in 1999.- They reject deal and scrap Skyhawks and trainers.- NZ has had no fighters since. 🙃

It's interesting how Scotland makes so little effort to leverage its diaspora. -Plurality of Canadian PMs. -Several Aussie PMs. -Previous (and favourite to be next) US president is a 2nd generation Scottish immigrant. -Most famous woman in the world is proudly Scottish American.

Honestly, I don't think immigration numbers actually matter per se. It's all about quality. If the 1.2 million immigrants to Britain last year were all skilled Scandinavians with clean criminal records, I don't think anyone would give a shit, or even particularly notice.

I was intrigued as to what this small island of 92.5% White British was in the middle of a sea of Asians in Blackburn. Areas around it range from 0.8% - 17.6% White British. Turns out it's an estate of tower blocks called St Michaels Court.

I admit it. I've learned to stop worrying and love London. - Most right wing UK city.- Carries the nation's economy.- No victimhood mentality.- Unique concentration of elite/high culture.- The 'diversity' is less toxic than in provincial cities.- Still builds stuff (Crossrail)

I hate the increasing 'localisation' of general elections. "So and so hasn't spent every day of their life here (Bumfuck Nowhere North West), how can they represent us?". "I'm standing for the national legislature, but I only talk about bins. Local council? What about it?"

@x3notrope 2015 Cameron was GOAT tier. Easily the best leader in the West at the time. People forget HOW MUCH PRESSURE he was under when Merkel opened the floodgates and every other major country cucked. He stood firm and accepted an absolute token number in the end.

I constantly see this meme on here that British people are emigrating in large numbers, when in fact:. - Emigration of British citizens has collapsed over the last decade to historic lows. - Only 16% of people emigrating from the UK each year are actually British citizens.

The UK government on why British submarine forces have no safeguards preventing unauthorised launching of their nuclear weapons: ‘idk I guess we’re just built different’. (Also: how do you prevent nukes from falling into the wrong hands? UK answer: use a bike lock.)

This is peak Daniel Hannan. How does he even come up with takes like this?. Today, I think a *throws dart* West-hating Taliban supporter should be *spins wheel* chancellor of Oxford University. Fucking twat.

Did they make the right choice?. Austria has no modern cultural exports. Zero hard power projection. Nothing of any real importance happens there, and likely never will. But it's beautiful and pleasant. Like a butterfly trapped in amber. I can't judge.

Underdiscussed aspect of Trump is how he doesn't completely conform to the modern Western (really Anglo) expectations of how a heterosexual man should speak about other men. He has elements of an older, more Mediterranean, attitude to these things.

If you haven't worked it out yet, Farage and Lowe are doing a 'good cop/bad cop' routine to manage Reform's expanding coalition. Farage the 'happy warrior' tacking to the centre, and Lowe the stone-faced hardliner. Their actual views (assisted dying aside) are identical.
