JD Vance Not Welcomed in the Cotswolds....

He's been meeting with various right wing people. I hate that they are spreading their shit in other countries.


JD Vance said UK has no free speech….so this van is now cruising Cotswolds area waiting for his arrival where he’s renting a K a week manor for another family vacation

🎶 Cake, music… and rage. In a sunlit Cotswolds village, locals threw a “not welcome” party for Trump’s VP JD Vance — complete with baby memes, biting placards, and zero tolerance for MAGA politics.

Breaking: JD Vance just arrived in the Cotswolds, UK, on holiday.

Apparently having this meme on his phone got one tourist banned from entering the US.

So here it is on a huge billboard near where JD's holidaying 👍

3. Vance is searching for the next Oswald Mosley.

After his election failure in 1931, Mosley went on a study tour of the "new movements" of Italy's Duce Benito Mussolini and other fascists, and returned convinced, particularly by Fascist Italy's economic programme,[82] that it was the way forward for Britain. He was determined to unite the existing fascist movements and created the British Union of Fascists (BUF) in 1932.

The British historian Matthew Worley argues that Mosley's adoption of fascism stemmed from three key factors.[83] First, Mosley interpreted the Great Slump as proof that Britain's economy, which had historically favoured liberal capitalism, required a fundamental overhaul in order to survive the rise of cheap, global competition. Second, as a result of his experience as a Labour minister, Mosley grew to resent the apparent gridlock inherent in parliamentary democracy (see criticism of democracy). Mosley believed that party politics, parliamentary debate, and the formalities of bill passage hindered effective action in addressing the pressing economic issues of the post-war world. Finally, Mosley became convinced that the Labour Party was not an effective vehicle for the promulgation of "the radical measures that he believed were necessary to prevent Britain’s decline."[84] As Worley notes about Mosley, "Cast adrift from the political mainstream, he saw two alternative futures. One was the 'slow and almost imperceptible decline' of Britain to the 'level of a Spain'...[and the other] a deepening sense of crisis opening the way for a 'constructive alternative' to take the place of both liberal capitalism and parliamentary democracy."[85] Mosley believed that Britain was in danger of a Communist revolution, of which only fascism could effectively combat.

The BUF was protectionist, strongly anti-communist and nationalistic to the point of advocating authoritarianism.[86] He claimed that the Labour Party was pursuing policies of "international socialism", while fascism's aim was "national socialism".[87] It claimed membership as high as 50,000, and had the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror among its earliest supporters.[88][89][90] The Mirror piece was a guest article by the Daily Mail owner Viscount Rothermere and an apparent one-off; despite these briefly warm words for the BUF, the paper was so vitriolic in its condemnation of European fascism that Nazi Germany added the paper's directors to a hit list in the event of a successful Operation Sea Lion.[91] The Mail continued to support the BUF until the Olympia rally in June 1934.[92]

I think he does it on purpose. I think he enjoys the negative attention. He basks in it because it makes him look like a victim. He likes being a victim.

He's just as crazy as Trump but in slightly different ways.

that Bush/Cheney refused to let a jet from Britain land with a british rock star they disliked who was coming to the U.S. for a performance.....

His plane had to go to Canada, re-fuel and go back to England????????

I will remember his name here in a second.................*FOUND IT ..........CAT STEVENS.........*

Why can't the UK refuse to allow Vance's plane to land? Just make him go to some other country, maybe Russia, and re-fuel and go back home......

Hell, during Trump's first term, his spawn and Jared jet-setted all over the world with SS protection all the time at U.S. Government expense. His one son would fly to other countries with SS detail to go hunting/killing big game trophies, all on the taxpayers dime.

NATO countries should separate from the U.S. and ban Trump and his band of Republicans from their countries.......
The reason he has to meet Putin in "Russia", aka Alaska, is that Putin knows that in many countries around he world he would be arrested for International War Crimes and Sent to the Hague for trial.......(check it out, that is a fact, not political rumor) He is guilty of Ukraine invasion, and also supplying Syria's Assad with CHEMICAL bombs/weapons that were used to drop on Syrias villages of Assad's resistance fighters to him in his own country.......

great musician known for peace songs...........had become a peaceful Muslim, it was during the WBush Regime of IRAQ war........

Cat Stevens had "peace" war songs, famous during Viet Nam......Cheney/Rummy also had 400+ Sinclair RW am radio stations ban *100* of the famous anti war songs from Viet nam, for fear it would once again prompt resistance to their corrupt war.......And that ban is still in effect and the reason you will not ever hear "The Eve of Destruction" even though it is more applicable NOW than it was in the 60"s (You can still google all of them on You Tube.....including "The Eve of Destruction" etc

All of the Sound Track from Harold and Maude, a cult classic, was Cat Steven's songs and him singing them

we sure have had some scumbags, the lowest of the low, for leaders. Why is that? I keep asking if it's systemic, but I think it's really that they will do anything for power. If that's the case, why can't we do something about those types of people?

It's too late now (environmentally I speak), but if we had it all to do over again, why couldn't we get this scum out of leadership?

OTOH, maybe it is systemic to capitalism. It's a system that doesn't do well with not-so-bright people with little self-esteem. They need all that money to feel significant.
