Whenever I see the AfD here, I feel the need to boost this poster

These people are smiling Nazis

A poster for the AfD in Germany, Musk's favored party, showing a blonde family, with the smiling parents doing a Nazi salute to form a roof over their kids and the slogan "wir schützen eure kinder" - we protect your kids

Farage & Co are likely sitting on a huge number of scandals, perhaps starting with this recent story

Like so many of his ilk, Farage needs to get in power, or appear to have popular support, otherwise questions start being asked and investigations opened

Good way to lose a chunk of your base (which is good)

Who, then, didn't vote as expected? Young Gen Z white men-mainly those without college degrees-voted overwhelmingly for Trump (67 percent), which is eerily similar to their just-older millennial peers (also 67 percent). By comparison, young white working class Gen Z women were more likely to vote blue (43 percent) than their just-older millennial peers (34 percent).

This is always the establishment come back: immigration is good for the economy! Not if it destroys your society it isn’t.

So the economy will continue to grow and the population will stay roughly the same. Sounds like people will be better off. Rents will reduce as more properties become available, very good. The number of murders has fallen 17% since last year too. Excellent news.

Nah.

Ask the British public if they'd rather have less money, but the country return to the immigration levels of the pre 90's.

Would be an overwhelming positive. Some thing do matter more than money, and always have done.
