What on Earth makes you think Iβm against immigration??
The reply you replied to was about immigration, hence borders therein meant state frontiers, not merely geographical demarcations
No, it only implies place names. Not necessarily borders. Place names do not imply borders.
A masterclass from Zack Polanski on #BBCLauraK:
βThere is no example in history where weβve bombed people into democracy.β
No shouting. Just facts doing the heavy lifting.

You mean how many times did Hegseth spun a bottle until it pointed to the one they liked?
Nurul Amin Shah Alam crossed oceans to flee unimaginable violence, only to die here β where he should have been safe.
The cruelty is endless.
A breakthrough in comp chem! Jiace Sun and Garnet Chan from Caltech developed stochastic tensor contraction and applied it to CCSD(T), achieving a 2.5-32x speedup relative to DLPNO, with ~4x higher accuracy (the latter does not seem to degrade with system size). arxiv.org/abs/2602.17158 βοΈπ§ͺ
Itβs spelled βgoodβ, not βleast worseβ.
In principle, I agree. However, this would be political suicide for a politician in Poland today. Non-nationalist left (Lewica) polls at ca. 6%, just above threshold. Religious social populist right + religious far-right + libertarian far-right would get 40-50% of the vote if elections were today.
He isnβt a federalist, if thatβs what you meant. Knowing where the Overton window is in central/eastern Europe, I can guess why we donβt see prominent federalist voicesβ¦
There are nation states on Europe. Itβs a fact. At the moment, whether we like it or not, the EU policies are largely created by or at the behest of the constituent nation states, which are (most of the time) stronger than any trans-national interest group. Is it nationalist to acknowledge this?
Neither Sikorski nor the PM Tusk are nationalists. The president is, thoughβ¦
If your priority is stopping Reform you need to know who to vote for to do it. This site has the answer. ππ»

Wow. That is properly unhinged and, frankly, scary. As I wrote before, we seem to live on VERY different planets.
βIβm really worried for my friends and neighbours who are immigrants, or the children of immigrants, whoβve kept our city region moving.β
Our candidate for Gorton and Denton, Hannah Spencer, says the threat of adopting ICE-style tactics would put hardworking communities in the firing line.
Dear Gorton & Denton,
Something you might want to hear...
Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.
Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.
Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

All three adjectives seem perfectly appropriate
But their leaders *became* the new Bannon/Epstein class, just like the pigs in Animal Farm became humans
Labour under Starmer is toast. Are you saying Labour is somewhat more toast with someone else at the helm? Why? I thought catastrophic ratings and a major scandal would be a reason for making some changes, but what do I knowβ¦
Cβmon, Iβm a committed leftie (i.e. social-democrat). Just wary of soviet- or maoist-style βfar-redβ, having grown up in 1980s Poland.
I am not defending US. Anyway, itβs whataboutism. We were talking about China.
Would it be worn on the forearm?
They havenβt tried conquering any new lands, true. But what have they done to their own, e.g. during the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, etc etc? What have they done to Tibetans? What are they still doing to Uyghurs? What are you even talking about???
Wow. Democracy π€¦ββοΈ. In China. Just wow. We live on different planets.
At what cost, though? An ultra-controlling, totalitarian state which does not tolerate any dissent.
Want free healthcare and free education? Come to Europe.
Not defending US here, but since when is China about being benevolent towards its citizens?
