Crybullies.

England has fallen.

The Muslims, when they take over, will murder the alphabet people first but they’re more than happy to destroy the culture.

Anyone who questions the extreme trans agenda is arrested these days.

Arrested by 5 heavily armed police men for 3 internet posts.
Starmer’s gone nuts.
And these Europeans accuse Putin of being a “dictator" despite Putin getting over 80% of the votes in the last Russian elections?

Irishman here. I have no sympathy for him. He was the one who supported same-sex “marriage” and wanted to impose this blight upon my country, he wanted to normalise homosexuality, he wanted to attack the Catholic church when they warned against this this.

“Trans ideology” being normalized is 100% the fault of gay activists. They need to stop trying to avoid this.
Now he’s being preyed upon by the very beast he helped create. He made his bed now he can sleep in it.

Pard, free speech doesn’t work that way.

Even people you disagree with have a right to free speech.

No one out there shares every single sentiment as another.

I’m just mad because I loved The I.T. Crowd.

——England has fallen.——

I wonder. Is father Ted Roman Catholic or Church of England?
