    1. No surprise that a foreigner wouldn’t understand the sensitivity of the issue.

      Nobody can be as politically insensitive as a Tory, well maybe Reform.

      Lads, she knew _exactly_ what she was doing here. Not so much a dog whistle as a dog light show with a pedigree chum t-shirt cannon.

      I imagine she didn’t know herself but a lot of the modern right politicians have interns who spend their free time posting epic retvrn edits on tik tok and instagram.

      Aontu has this problem with their youth group being full blown nazis

      A deliberate attempt to provoke or an English person not knowing their history. Both bad.

      Disclaimer I know not all English people are like this!

      Jesus… I lack of any real historical education in the UK about the Northern Ireland conflict is astonishing.

      That obviously doesn’t really apply to Badenoch, her primary, and most of her secondary, education was outside the UK, but I don’t believe she was sitting at home of an evening with Final Cut Pro making the video herself.

      Someone in CCHQ did it and the fact that whoever did works in politics and would, one assumed, have a slighter better knowledge of UK political history, didn’t realise this mistake really says a lot about how poor education about the UK’s world history really is.

      Look forward to them being subsumed into Reform to form the party of mega cunts

      It’s hard to believe that a black woman, child of immigrants, who lived a large part of her life in Nigeria, went to school, college in the UK, been politically active for years.

      Is so fucking dense.

    9. Why would they not use it, after all the British has committed hundreds if not thousands of Bloody Sundays. Its what their army did and what it was formed for

      There’s Enoch “Rivers of blood” Powell and then there’s Bad Enoch…

      The deeply ingrained dont give a fuckism within Britain is disturbing and plain offensive when it comes to their actions in Ireland. It has always come across as them not considering it a real part of their history so they don’t see the need to care for it

      And they wonder why James McClean doesn’t want to wear a poppy.

      Why do I get the feeling she’s a poll number dip away from wanting the 26 back in Westminster?

      Reform are going to take over the Tory party in a few years and she knows it. This is her getting a seat at the table when that happens.
