People like that Reform. Maybe we should get us some.

What a pathetic defeatist attitude.

When was the last time Islamic Civilization took root in a region and was subsequently ousted?

The same spiritual forces that are destroying Europe are at work in the US. We are just as divided, and our “leadership” is equally corrupt. The only thing standing between us and the fate of Europe is God (Jesus) and guns.
I had a long conversation with an old military buddy of mine this morning ... we were roommates in our early years and have remained lifelong friends. He was big in SOCOM, 34 years of service, 5th and 3rd SF Groups, and he just returned yesterday from another month as an evaluator to NATO in Germany ... although he was attached as an observer to a Brit unit during exercises in Germany this entire last trip.
He said the British military is total dogshit right now. Their troops are demoralized, their equipment is shotty, their tactics and physical readiness is a joke ... and their officers and NCOs know it and admit it. They're embarrassed by it ... but there's nothing they can do about it because of DEI NATO policies and Keir Starmer.
He said I wouldn't recognize them these days ... told me I'd be in shock.
He said he had umpteen of their troops come up to him and ask him for help getting into the U.S., to serve in our military.
He said the German troops were just as bad and the Belgian and French troops were even worse.
They hate their leaders, they hate NATO under the control of the EU, and they hate their senior command structure made up of women and cucked generals.
It sounded bad.
And my buddy is the most grumpy old, no nonsense, stract, stoic warrior mentality you can imagine.
He was portrayed in a movie by the name of 12 Strong ... he was one of the guys on horseback in Afghanistan.
Two of those guys are close friends of mine. My Pal who I spoke with this morning, and the other served in the same elite unit with us, SF then Delta ... now he owns a horse farm in Southern Pines.
Those two, two of our other Pals, and I are having dinner and breakfast up at Bragg in June ... we try to get together a few times a year.
When we were young men we were all part of one of the most elite units in history ... six Command Sergeants Majors, two Flag officers and four Field Grades came out of that unit along with two dozen Sergeants Majors and 1SGs.
It was a helluva unit.

These are local council elections, not a general election for Parliament.
These things are basically a preview of the next general election though. Labour desperately wants to prolong the next one because they know they're going to get wiped.

They don’t have to hold them until late summer 2029.

Spain, when Muslims held 80 percent of the landmass and El Cid pushed them into the sea.
It can be done.

Pathetic. A prime example is Spain.

I don't think so ... not without an all-out religious war.
Spain is done. They've been done for awhile now but it really accelerated in the past few years and I wanna say they just granted another 500k Muslims citizenship en masse.
Here's a number about Germany that'll blow your minds and it's even worse in Spain and the UK.
In 1985 there were 10 mosques in Germany.
Today there are 2700 mosques in Germany.

I've read up on this issue. White British identifying is, as pointed out around 80%.
However, they have identified what they call a "shire" problem. Internet slang from lord of the rings, that the problem cannot ever reach them.
While US population is 58% white, 20% Hispanic and 14% black. That gets you over 90% of the population that is largely compatible. Legal and native born hispanics and a massive death of blacks share common culture cohesion. Religion, food, sports, jobs.
That's not what the UK is dealing with. While right wing people might say the urban areas are deteriorating due to Democrat policies, there's still shared culture throughout the county
UK, doesn't just have political differences, they have managed to import populations that self segregate and don't assimilate culturally, while draining a fast growing benefits package, which I believe is close to equalling tax income
It's not really comparable. I live near a town that's half white, half Mexican. No major issues, good schools for the most part and generally a melting pot.
If you have an area in England that's half white and half Paki and middle eastern. You have major major social strife.

I could not agree more, which is why I posted that we are fortunate to have Christians swarming us instead of Muslims.

Man. That sounds awesome. I got kicked out- 3 weeks into basic training. I was very capable, but even more undisciplined. Class clowns don’t do well in the military. Go figure.

Just reminder:
Former Welsh leader Nathan Gill pleaded guilty to eight counts of accepting bribes for pro-russian statements.
From December 6, 2018, to July 18, 2019, the useful idiot received payments from moscow. Gill's activities included making pro-russian statements about events in Ukraine in the European Parliament and in the media. Nathan Gill accepted eight bribes totaling around £40,000.
Hel was sentenced to ten and a half years in prison.
Nathan Gill was a member of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) from 2004 to 2018, later joining the Brexit Party in 2019 and then Reform UK. He also served as an "independent" politician.

Army. Relaxin’ Jackson(South Carolina). 1998. Part of me regrets it. I didn’t put my best foot forward, so I’ll never know what could’ve been. But, all things considered, I think it was for the best. The world needs electricians more than it needs soldiers (thanks to soldiers- like you).
