Thatcher and Churchill are their only two ‘positive’ reference points… and yet for most non-politic Brits they are now so far in the past that the best response they engender is a ‘meh’

What he seems to not realise is just how much he sounds like a US version of the Iranian military spokesmen…

This isn’t a press briefing on the war, it’s a scolding of the media and a propaganda world salad. Hegseth is a gross who idiot with a chip on his shoulder.

Well, Reverend Hegseth and his one-man "Praise Band" is at it again trying to stir up the American congregation.

I'm waiting for him to use the word "smite" "thou", or "hast" since he is going straight-on KJV right now.

Beware of false prophets.

Shame can be a destructive emotion, but this is what a culture without shame looks like.

And it's consistently rewarded and indulged.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.

"Why is the British right doing so much worse with young people than in the 1980s" is an interesting better question.

That is about social class & partisan dealignment, education effects, Brexit directly + deep damage with young women not offset by vibes about young men

He can do worse, and he has. Put simply he has unfettered power. And the willingness to use it. That’s how it works. Everyone thinks they will standup to the dictator, but in reality very few do, and they are always the first to be dealt with, which keeps everyone else in line.

He definitely wasn’t called Jesus if he did exist though… yehoshu'a is a harder linguist challenge I’ll give you… My favourite Xtian belief is that the devil communicates in Latin.
