NY Times,
By Katrin Bennhold
"Ten years ago this week, I woke up in southeast London to learn that
Britain had voted for Brexit. I remember my oldest daughter, who was
then 7, asking what Brexit was. I said Britain would be leaving
Europe. She was baffled. rCLWhere do they want to go?rCY she asked. rCLAfrica?rCY
Thus began a period of political tumult that hasnrCOt let up since. Yesterday, the sixth post-Brexit prime minister resigned. Keir
Starmer, who won a landslide election less than two years ago, lost
the trust of voters and many officials in his own party.
The man poised to take over is charismatic, popular and, crucially,
from a modest background in the north of England. But is that enough?
Today, I write about how BritainrCOs economic problems, made worse by
leaving the E.U., are so serious that it will take more than a change
in leadership to solve them."
My conclusion:
Poliltics simply cannot be a popularity contest. As we might have
noticed in high school of what happened later to students voted most
popular. Did they go on to be principled and wise leaders of
humanity?
One might condlude, "that way lies madness." Is there a way where
lies sanity?

Here's Noah at 7:33 AM posting about British politics and Starmer. Then
at 8:19 in comes Julian posting about British politics and Starmer. It's like children throwing crayons! Good work!
But nothing about the immigrant problem currently roiling the UK.
Any casual reader seeing this board would think it's some kind of movie about a bowling alley. YMMV.--

ur such a racist dud
Why won't you help the poor immigrants?
That's cold, dud.
Immigrants aren't a race. That's racist on it's face. Who do you think
you are? A white, privileged, warmonger, squatting on native land?
Let's not be hypocritical - you've no idea how to solve the immigration problems in Great Britain. You're just sounding off like a millennial brat.
Get back to us after you've thought this over. Thanks.
Note: So, as a military brat, I spent three long years in East Anglia
and attended school at Bushy Park. We went to Wales - I know a Brit when
I see one!

with the scenery. As long as you don't drop a bomb on my street!"
