Kind of funny analysis of Sunaks recent wins* and losses.
Obviously some people wont like it cos he's not wearing a Rolex/wearing the right top yada yada yada but IMO its worth a look at all the same. His political commentary has so far been more accurate than anyone I can think of on here.


*Windsor Framework was a pretty big win for him, plus the meeting with Macron.

Disgusting really, but then whenever was a footballer able to use their brain for much other than falling over.
You realise he wasn’t referencing what happened during the war. He was referencing the attitude in 1930s Germany.

And you know this to be fact? What on earth else could he have meant? Germany in the 30s didn't have a problem with illegal immigration, so we both know what he really meant.

Tell the Jewish community. Seems that with Linkers anti semitism, he'll have a job with Labour or Unite.

No need to mention the War.

It has no connection at all to 1930s Germany.

Ratner referred to his own jewellery as crap and Icke is mental, believing lizards are in control.

What parallels are we to draw from this, exactly?

Lineker, or Richard Sharp? I doubt either one will end up in the workhouse too soon.

19th largest bank in the US just shit the bed leaving thousands of companies unable to make payroll this week. Countless businesses & people locked out of their accounts. A huge majority of the accounts are over the FDIC limit of $250,000 & will loose everything above that.
The CEO cashed out $2M in stock options a week ago.
California wine industry is taking a big hit.. which might mean the only good thing about this collapse is that Gov Newsom's business interests are wiped out.

To throw further light on the Beeb’s selective impartiality, anyone remember Lord Sugar’s tweet about Jeremy Corbyn?

That's more accurate given the anti semitism in labour at that time, so in that case there's the parallel.
