"Currants Bw..."

[The Wengerbabies]

The difference between you and NQ is that you read like a parody account. The one thing I’ve never had cause to doubt with NQ is his sincerity

You’re a bit like Maajid Nawazz or Dave Rubin or Russell Brand. Where they’ve seen which way the wind is blowing for the purposes of social media engagement….and they’ve got to grips with the lingo

I only know who Russell Brand is, never heard of the other two.

The difference between me and NQ is he takes things way too seriously.

I don't take life that seriously but I am aware and wary of bad actors with nefarious plans, does that mean I believe it will all come to pass? No but you gotta be mindful of what they may be planning.

"They" mostly don't care about oppressing and controlling you.
The Covid restrictions were designed to deal with "a situation". They were misguided, but they weren't all about oppression and control - if they were then why were they constantly changed as the situation changed and then ultimately all removed? They might be corrupt, self-interested and too focussed on enriching themselves and their mates (although I don't buy that all of them are like that), but they're not interested in overbearing authoritarianism.

David Lammy’s tenure in the FCO continues to be an unmitigated disaster.

Agreeing the handover of the Chagos Island to Mauritius who are a client state for the Chinese

International courts decided that the UK did not have sovereignty over the islands, first this was a non binding ruling and secondly even anti-occidental campaigners like Jeremy Corbyn only ever campaigned for Chagossian independence (which of course he would when there’s British/American military base there). Maybe we should have given them their independence because they sure as hell don’t want Mauritius having sovereignty over them.

Lammy has in a short period taken Lord Carrington’s crown as worst foreign secretary ever

I can't believe we've handed over some place I've never heard of!

It’s not really about handing back territory. I think all this stuff about this being the thin end of the wedge and us handing back Gibraltar (and I was going to say the Falklands but given it’s never belonged to Argentina that wouldn’t be the correct phrasing)…is rather overwrought. But it’s not particularly good to give it over to Mauritius who I don’t see having any justified claim to it as it’s about 1,000 miles from them, given we have a British/American airbase there and as soon as Mauritius gain sovereignty over the area you can get your boots the Chinese will be able to put spy equipment nearby


But that’s what happens when you have an unthinking, virtue signalling oaf like David Lammy in the Foreign office.

I suppose my question is what would that allow them to do that they can't already do?

[The Wengerbabies]

Pretty dumb thing to do, surprised the Americans allowed it tbh.

Chinese wouldn’t be able to spy on military base in Diego Garcia as they wouldn’t be able to get near to plant surveillance equipment

The Democrats are pro Enabling China, and Trump and the Republicans pretend not to be Pro Enabling China but still pretty much are.

As if the steel Tariff did anything other than hurt US manufacturing

Still. Giving away such a strategic base seems a bit overt.

Wonder if Cyprus will be next...

Apparently Blair wanted to give the Cypriot bases away in 2004.
