The United Kingdom is on a trajectory toward slow-motion collapse.
British Prime Minister Kier Starmer’s initial reaction to the outbreak of the war against Iran was schizophrenic.
He seemed wholly unprepared for a scenario in which Donald Trump would actually use the forces he had spent the previous two months flooding into the region, confounding the former Royal Navy officers and opposition lawmakers who somehow understood that Trump’s ultimatums weren’t just talk.
At first, Starmer was appalled, and he blocked the Pentagon from using U.K. bases to launch sorties against Iranian targets.
But the impracticality of that protest sapped his resolve, and his government swiftly changed course. After all, British interests were under attack by Iran as well.
So, under pressure, Starmer committed his nation to a show of force — one more visible than his deployment of defensive airpower to the Middle East. The Royal Navy’s HMS Dragon would lead the way, but it would do so alone. Britain’s five other Type 45 Destroyers were not fit for deployment. The Dragon set sail on March 10 and finally arrived at its destination, a Royal Air Force base in Cyprus that had been targeted by Iran, 17 days later. But within days, the Dragon succumbed to a “technical” issue and had to retreat to port for repairs.

Starmer is as sharp as Biden with a few more brain cells. I’ve really never seen a bigger loser. He’s a real life Monty Python caricature. The Canadian Rankin Bass claymation dummy is a close second.
That's the real problem. Brits are given a choice of who they want to die under, but the outcome is the same.
“Boriswave” refers to the high levels of net migration to the UK (roughly 1.6–2.6 million people) between 2021 and 2024, following Brexit during Boris Johnson’s premiership.
No more Kings!
Yet another in a long series of purposeful actions to sabotage what was once a great world leading country. How is it he is still in office? Surely there is the equivalent to impeachment to get this guy out of there....
Great Britain is conquered. The Greatest foreign enemy in the history of civilization has conquered the Brits. It is irreversible. They do not have the leadership, citizens, armed forces, Constitution, Bill of Rights, moral or philosophical bedrock to repel the singleness of purpose forces they’re up against. Without help, that once great civilization will be extinguished.
I think we need to sell a US carrier group through the English Channel with no request for permission and no warning. We need to make them think.
“ The United Kingdom is on a trajectory toward slow-motion collapse.”
It’s not slow motion from the perspective of England’s history.
I served 10 years there in the 70s and 80s. The stinking Turks were everywhere. I worked in Munich for 39 months in the early 80s. A German lady who worked in our office told me of the Turks taking over every building on her block. She was looking to move. Nearly every civilian position around the base was held by Turks. Germany imported these barbarians by the 10s of thousands after WWII because they did not have the manpower to rebuild the Federal Republic of West Germany. Self-inflicted fatal wound.
Britain has collapsed under mass immigration, which Mr Rothman has always supported

Yes. A muzzie invasion.
As for the US, our Congress couldn’t care less.
We do not despise Congress enough.
I thought the worst place I had ever been to, in my entire USAF career, was Turkey. The ABSOLUTE worst.
Kier Starmer is what the Brits got.
We could park some PT boats in the Channel and open up with .50 cal on the small boats.
Would solve the problem.
Kier would complain. Uselessly.
Wouldn’t even solve the problem. The muzzies will still outbreed the Brits. Might slow ‘em down a couple years in the takeover.
Deporting most / all muslims would help.
Brits still might find a way to commit suicide.
Starmer is just a buffoon which kind of brings me back around to the British voter. They vote this stuff on themselves.
Fish and chips to roasted goat. Yuk.
