    Lolwut ? I want the drugs he's on...

    Pakistani got the bomb in the 1990s and they genuinely are both a republic and a majority muslim (I'm not sure the exact definition of "Islamic Republic" he's using.)

    On the other hand a single digit percentage of the UK population are Muslim (6%), and dude, we've been a monarchy for all bar a couple of decades of the last 1500 years.

    The Muslim thing is less a worry than trying to pretend one of the longest running monarchies around is a republic, I mean it's just delusional.

    In the last millenium England has only been a republic for the couple of decades in the 1600s when Cromwell took over and executed the king. Scotland has been a monarchy the entirety of the last millenium, Wales has been under the English monarchy since the Normans finished slaughtering them in the 1300s.

    The King was stripped of power after the American Revolution in the Madness of King George. I think they sent the old bitch into a puzzle factory at some point. I hear he pissed blue sometimes too, he had something real going on medically.

    So 3 centuries of republican rule in truth. Plus the English wrested more power from their monarchy than the others with the Magna Carta and all.

    They are also the first Hindu republic to get one, the first Polish Republic, the first South African, the first Australian, etc etc

    Its called being a multi cultural society. Its is everything that makes people civilized. Its exactly what that the Zionists, the Islamic extremists and the Christian fundamentalism hate.

    They are actively supplying israel with weapons for genocide and Netanyahu disrespects them???

    My guess is Burnham refuses to talk about it. Too much money is changing hands. If the genocide doesn't bother him an insult won't phase him.

    Relations between the UK and Israel have been increasingly strained in recent months, especially since Andy Burnham took over in No 10. Shortly before becoming prime minister, he apologised for Labour’s initial response to Israel’s military action in Gaza, saying the party “didn’t get it right” and needed to “do better” under his leadership, signalling a significant shift in the UK’s approach to the Middle East.

    This line literally made me tilt my head. The Guardian can't make up their mind whether Burnham is the reason the relationship with Israel is strained, or whether Barnham becoming PM is going to make it better.

    Sadly I doubt it will. The sycophants in the Labour party are bought and sold by the Israelis - they'll roll over and show their tummy, they wouldnt want to stop those sweet sweet bribes donations

    this is why no one should take Bibi Yahoo seriously. The man will say anything to further racist hatred and violence. He doesn't give a shit about making peace or being a good ally. All he wants is Western money to fund more Islamophobia.

    There is no bigger welfare state on the entire planet than Israel, and this guy basically lives to bite the hand that feeds him. I'm always amazed at how UK and US politicians freak out about providing public services to their own citizens but are so willing to provide billions of dollars of government assistance to foreign citizens every year.

    Unless they were already an "Islamic Republic" in 1991, they should be fine with Iran having some because "Islamic Republics" have a perfect record of not nuking anything. The same can't be said for "Jewish Republics".

    Sorry can't hear you over your Genocide, Benjamin Netanyahu, the screaming blocks out everything and I am left to ponder for how many eons Jews will condemn your ideology as an utter betrayal of the foundational tenets of Judaism.
