This gimp needs serious consequences, as do those that continued to put him in positions of authority.

Scots would recoil in disgust seeing English Rail pulling into Glasgow. Best we scrap the regional branding and go back to British Rail. We can have sandwiches in vending machines, too.

Disgusting. Everything about this is rank.

I disagree. It is a problem.
- Comment on Seven Afghan men charged over child sexual exploitation 1 week ago:
This thread is about Seven Afghan men charged over child sexual exploitation not the Western elite paedos.
Having said that, I agree with you. All of them should face punishment - especially our friends across the pond.
Regarding this thread: these men should never have been here. The girls should never have been abused. Off the top of my head, I don’t even need to look it up, last week another Afghan was arrested for raping a girl in a toilet.
- Comment on Seven Afghan men charged over child sexual exploitation 1 week ago:
Those Afghans grew up in a society where it’s commonplace to sexually abuse little kids.
Bacha bazi is a pederastic practice in Afghanistan and in historical Turkestan, in which men exploit and enslave adolescent boys, sometimes for sexual abuse, and/or coerce them to cross-dress in attire traditionally only worn by women and girls and dance for entertainment.[7] The man exploiting the young boy is called a bacha baz (literally “boy player”)[3] and the young boy is called a bacha.

I hope we have a deal in place with the Taliban soon. If these guys are guilty, they should be sent back immediately.
They’d probably get praised for their actions in Afghanistan.

No. It’a clearly the Lemmy delusion where everything must somehow be about Israel.

Why not say that, instead of beating round the bullshit bush? Numpty.

Here’s some more info. Totally worth it for the ShitTok views.
If they’re dumb enough to film themselves committing an offence, then there’s no point trying to victim blame.

Didn’t the US have pasta in jello (actual jelly, not natural eel gelatin)?
By 1930, there appeared a vogue in American cuisine for congealed salads, and the company introduced lime-flavored Jell-O, to complement the add-ins that cooks across the country were combining in these aspics and salads. Popular Jell-O recipes often included ingredients like cabbage, celery, green peppers, and even cooked pasta.[10]

I’ll save you replying to my requests for linkage. You were likely referencing their 2024 manifesto. I still disagree that those are “Puitin policies”, we clearly have different viewpoints and won’t persuade one another.

Is this in their manifesto? Can you link to it please?

“scrapping” the BBC
As I already said, it’s the licence fee, not the BBC. The licence fee is unfit for 2026 and it should be scrapped.
stopping the boats (any method that really does it will be basically either impossible or illegal)
How is that a “putin policy”? Russia are the ones behind it - look at Baltic/Russian borders for illegal crossings facilitated by Russia and Belarus. Not a Russia friendly policy at all. You’re wrong.
defending our borders (more insular isolationism is what Putin really loves)
Listen to yourself. Which country in the world doesn’t defend their borders? Wrong
deporting illegal migrants (which would quickly become an ICE-style scandal deporting natives who look different and dwarf the Windrush scandal)
How tiresome. Is that Russia friendly? No. Wrong again!
