Seeing all the posts on here and the other place about Corona Virus hysteria is seriously depressing.

I live in the most boring, northern part of the UK and even my local Tesco (think if Walmart and Target had a baby....yeah that bad!) was cleaned out of loo roll, hand sanitiser and super fucking bizarrely, Vanilla Ice Cream.

Like fucking seriously people, chill the fuck out. Do not trust the media, they do not work for your best interests.

I am however extremely chuffed with my countrymen's attitude: Right lads, we are all going to die, what can we do? Let's have a big shit, wash our hands thoroughly and then have some ice cream.

Churchill would be proud.

I thought the toilet paper hoarding was just an American thing. Now vanilla ice cream, that must be a UK thing.

I really wanted some vanilla ice cream tonight. Made a cheesecake and wanted something to go with it.

50 pounds of ice cream seems like quite a lot of ice cream

At this point it’s just total panic buying. Fill the cart with anything. It’s worse here in FL than hurricane shopping, because people are even hoarding fast perishables.

Stores out of milk, bananas, eggs, meat. It’s like year 2 of not real socialism.

The milk and eggs thing is the most retarded, they last two weeks at the most? Why are you thrilled with getting 5 gallons of milk and depriving someone else?

Eggs are good refridgerated for like 60 days. Milk not so much, but you are able to can it, I understand.

Oh no. They started hoarding it in Japan 2 months ago. It's just in the last 2 weeks or so made it to the US.

I think the toilet paper hoarding thing started in Australia. That is the first place I heard about it, 3-4 weeks ago.

To be fair, that is my favourite type of preaching.

It is exhausting going though basic logic and critical thinking with lib drones. Occasionally I just want someone to agree with me on demonstrable facts!

We're not as far gone here as the UK. Relocate! Americans love Brits (for some reason.)

Sadly, I think we both have equal problems, just in different areas.

But both country's decent, hard working people have decisively voted to rectify the situation. We can but hope.

Also, I have to say emigrating would make me the very thing I despise. You cannot fix countries by having the best and brightest leave. NumbersUSA taught me that!

That's true. Stay and fight is a good thing to do. I am more hopeful for you now that Brexit has/is happening. I had pretty much given up hope for the U.K. Glad it has been restored.

Yeah you have to be careful with what you read. I noticed on reddit a lot of posters in T_D liked to hugely exaggerate the situation in the UK. Endlessly reposting the same 4 year old news stories, that sort of thing. Some douche even posted an email sent by some outraged SJW and tried to pretend it was an official communication from the UK Government.

I often suspected they were shills trying to sow dissent. The one thing that really fucking scares the left is that Trump is not a solely American phenomenon. The very idea that people in the UK/Rest of the World love him and agree with him scares them shitless.

Of course we have our problems, but we have some great advantages too. Our press is fucking brutal and for the large part, based AF. I have read things in the Sun and Daily Mail that I have only ever read on T_D. And these are the biggest papers in the country, by a large margin. This piece in The Daily Mail for example. Read that and tell me it is not one of the most based fucking things you have ever seen in the mainstream media.

Couldn't read it due to ad-blocker. But I have read some decent things in the DM, and some that I considered questionable. What I meant about having given up was regarding things like grooming gangs, what happened with Tommy Robinson, and so forth. It's encouraging to see a Britpede saying things aren't so bad and that Trump is loved. I've seen a lot of hatred for our potus on UK media. outlets, but I guess that's to be expected. It's good to know the important people, meaning.. the PEOPLE (at least some of them) love him. And look at what happened when he went to India.

I recently saw a short interview with a guy named Dana Perez (I think that was the name. I'd never heard of him) who is himself a billionaire. The interview was conducted before Trump was potus and this guy, who knows him said, 'If Trump wins, he will not only change the country, he'll change the world.' I thought that was so interesting, being that he hadn't been elected yet. Potus has done so many great things for this country, but I think ultimately, the greatest thing he is accomplishing is exposing all the corruption in politics and media. And that seems to be a world-wide issue.

Here is a transcript:


There is a troubling new divide running through our country, but it is not the one that people like to imagine. It is best shown by the Election result in affluent Putney, West London, where, in a rare victory, the Labour party gained a seat from the Conservatives. Putney, like Kensington and Chelsea, is filled with rows of over-priced £1 million homes where residents would have faced huge tax hikes if Labour got into power. Yet the constituency still decided to vote for the socialist experiment that Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell were promising – and in so doing, upended a whole set of presumptions. On the other hand, a seat like Bolsover, in Derbyshire, did something unheard of. Dennis Skinner had been the sitting Labour MP for nearly half a century, and made it a byword for the hardcore Labour heartlands. In Bolsover you can buy a nice semi-detached house for about £100,000 – one tenth of Putney’s prices. But it was Putney that went Left and Bolsover Right. Not that Left and Right are the correct way to describe the extraordinary upheaval of this last week. The real chasm which has arisen is between a Conservative party that committed itself to fulfilling the will of the people, and two Left-wing parties which had devoted the past three-and-a-half years to subverting it. It is a divide between people who have real-world concerns and those focused on niche and barely significant ones. It is a divide between those who worry about the way they are governed, how the nation will fare and how high immigration should be and those who hector them as backwards or bigoted for even noticing such things. How, you might ask, have we reached such a state? There is a clue in the Labour Party’s dysfunctional reaction to its catastrophic defeat on Thursday. Even after the Conservatives won in a near-landslide, the Leftist automatons that run the party are choosing to learn nothing. They are not using this time for self-reflection or to work out how they approach this new division. Instead, they’re stuck on repeat – at increasing volume. A perfect example of this was the self-proclaimed economist and full-time Corbyn-cheerleader Grace Blakeley, who treated viewers of ITV’s Good Morning Britain on Friday to the Corbyn-is-God mantra. Hours after her dear leader had led his party to an historic defeat she was on air, blindly insisting that Labour’s ‘democratically developed’ policies were ‘incredibly popular’. Meanwhile Labour's Dennis Skinner for Bolsover, Derbyshire,lost his seat after 49 years as MP Fellow studio guests, including former Labour Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, begged to differ. But Grace had an alternative universe to inhabit.

‘People in this country are in favour of fairly radical Left-wing policies,’ she shouted. During the ensuing studio meltdown, Grace was, in fact, Grace-less, continuing to shout ‘Yes they are’ repeatedly over Piers Morgan and everyone else. It demonstrated just one thing. There is a reason that people like Grace can’t accept that they have lost – they haven’t met people who don’t agree with them. Or rather, when they do, it’s usually on social media where it is all too easy to ‘unfriend’ or ‘block’ them. When it comes to the British electorate as a whole, ignoring them completely becomes a far more difficult task. But this is what has happened. In recent years a portion of the British Left, like Grace, very carefully built itself an echo chamber and then moved into it. That chamber has allowed them to consistently disregard the views of the majority of the British public, most significantly the results of the referendum of 2016. This small, London-centred clique has, in the process, pulled away from the rest of the country. It is for that reason that the divides we used to say existed in British politics (North vs South, red vs blue) have been completely overtaken. Now, the divide is between the radical Left and everyone else. It didn’t have to be this way. After Ed Miliband’s failure at the 2015 General Election, the Labour party did not have to decide that the main lesson was that they hadn’t been ‘radical’ enough. But it in electing Corbyn as leader that’s exactly what they did. It was the same after the 2016 referendum. Labour and the Liberal Democrats might, in the past, have accepted such a result, but for the first time in our history the cultists driving these parties decided otherwise. They chose not just to ignore it, but to insult the public by deriding them as thick or uninformed, and to try to get around them. With devices like the ‘People’s Vote’ charade – as the campaign for a second referendum called itself – they thought we were too dim to notice what they were doing. They tried to reduce our politics to simple binaries, a choice between ‘hope’ or ‘fear’, racism or tolerance, destroying the NHS or saving it. They also started running with issues so marginal that they lost the general public completely. Take another one of Thursday’s sore losers: Jo Swinson. The now ex-Liberal Democrat leader decided, just days before the Election, to talk to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme about something which affects around 0.01 per cent of the British electorate: the Lib Dem’s promise to introduce an ‘X’ gender option on passports for transgender people. In Swinson’s echo chamber, it is important to get these things right. One false step and you’re Twitter toast. So on Swinson wittered, trying to claim that biological sex is a social construct, and that people who believe everyone is born either male or female are in fact ‘demonising’ trans people. It is hard to imagine a more niche issue.

How beautiful it was, then, only a couple of days later to watch Swinson at her constituency count, looking absolutely amazed that the people of East Dunbartonshire had not re-elected her as their MP. In typical fashion she blamed people who were opposed to ‘warmth’, ‘generosity’ and ‘hope’. But she lost by 149 votes. The irony is if she had been able to find a bit more generosity and warmth towards the people of East Dunbartonshire, perhaps she would still be in Parliament. As it happens, I share the views of the majority of the country. I have seen the Leftist robots up close for years. I have sat in halls and studios with them and been insulted by them just as the rest of the general public have. They have called me a ‘Little Englander’ because I happen to think that our country isn’t a good fit with the EU. They have called me a ‘racist’ and ‘scum’ because I’m concerned about too-high levels of immigration. They have called me a ‘bigot’ and a ‘transphobe’ because I refuse to pretend that biological sex does not exist. And amazingly, at the end of all that, I felt no more desire to vote for them than I had beforehand. I suspect the general public have the same view. Needless to say the message still hasn’t sunk in. Immediately after Thursday’s exit polls emerged, the former journalist Paul Mason declared that the Conservative victory signalled ‘a victory of the old over the young, racists over people of colour, selfishness over the planet’. During demonstrations in Westminster on Friday night, other sore losers congregated to attack the police and insult our democracy. ‘I wish [Boris Johnson] a horrible death,’ one young, well-spoken female protester told the cameras. ‘I plan to work in the NHS. I plan to be a doctor. I plan to actually care about people,’ she continued, implausibly. ‘Go f*** yourself Boris Johnson. Honestly. What a c***.’

So yes, there is a divide in Britain right now. But it’s not like any of the old ones. It’s between the ugly, intolerant, metropolitan Left and the rest of us. And as Thursday so beautifully showed, there are more of us than them.


And as for loving trump, here is a video I recorded when I was at the Free Tommy rally in London two years ago which happened to coincide with Trump's State visit. And here is another from the same event praising Trump and America.

I know. Whether posh or geordie, they are all just adorable, it's true. But a lot of Americans still feel a sort of kinship with their cousins across the pond. A lot of us have our ancestral roots deeply set there. And other stuff, too. Like the libs would say .. reasons. :D

I’ve been to a walmart & a walgreen’s & my husband went to a different walmart (all on separate days over the last week) to get various things WE ACTUALLY NEEDED (I have not bought any TP, hand sanitizer, cleaning products, ect. because we already have, what I felt, was enough) and seeing the shelves empty just annoys the F outta me for some reason. It makes me think of MSM fanning the flames of panic and selfish ignorant people acting like fucking greedy assholes!

A lot of people are dumb. It's just a sad fact. Add to that the lying msm hysteria, and voila, no T.P. is what you get. What amazes me is that they seem more concerned with toilet paper than .. you know, food. There are alternatives to t.p. Not too many alternatives to food.

How lucky you English are to find the toilet so amusing. For us, it is a mundane and functional item. For you it is the basis of an entire culture.

I went into my local Walmart here in SoCal today. Absolutely wiped out. Looked like a zombie movie. Cheese and lunch meat aisle..gone. Bread, meats, canned everything, frozen everything, paper everything (even paper cups/plates), fresh veggies, all milk, all snacks, pet food etc etc. It was absurd.

Went a half mile down the road to Vons grocery store. They had everything in moderate supply, except no tp and towels. People are swarming the big box stores for some reason.

What really amused me today was Tesco. They were cleaned out of basic bread and meats but all the fancy stuff was still there.

Oh it's an emergency eh? But not so much of one that you'll eat Seeded Rye Bloomer or Brunswick ham?
