Most right minded people believe that.
The sinister thing is why?
A distraction technique as part of the whole Culture Wars shtick?
A desire to limit our freedoms?

Ben Wallace was absolutely right with his comments about Olaf Scholz.
“Time and time again Germany has been last to help Ukraine. At every stage they have had to be pushed or embarrassed into doing anything. That isn’t leadership that is followship.
“Scholz‘s latest gaffe shows that when his excuses are exposed he lashes out with not only dangerous use of facts but also often wrong facts!”
Absolutely spot on.
Oh, and I’m not interested in partisan replies about anything other than this specific issue. I know the Tories are shit. No, I’m not voting for them. I know Ben Wallace probably once buggered a ferret. Blah blah blah.
On this specific issue, I think he’s absolutely spot on. Germany have been incredibly weak since Russia invaded Ukraine and began their rape and slaughter of another sovereign nation. They’ve done the bare minimum, and even then only under duress.
Wallace is absolutely correct to condemn Scholz’s recent dangerous comments.

Broadly I agree. But they started from a very different place from us -- the reliance on Russian gas, and post-WW2 anti-militarism -- both of which Merkel pursued relentlessly. Scholz has actually moved Germany a fair bit, and has been led by foreign minister Annalena Baerbock regarding reformulating defence and energy policies.

Galloway wins Rochdale.
Interrupted by a climate protester when giving his victory speech. Police seen on the back of the stage.
And a Monster Raving Loony Party ventriloquist's dummy just behind him over his shoulder.
British politics, eh?

Galloway is a deeply disturbed individual. I wouldn’t put him in charge of making a pot of tea.

Absolutely incredible speech from the PM.
An absolute masterclass in talking a lot and saying f*** all.

The build up to the election is in full swing, let’s create division then denounce it. Absolute disgrace of a party. I can’t imagine a single reason anyone would vote Tory, they are killing this country not asylum seekers, Muslims or anyone with a conscience as they would love us to believe.

Interesting aside, the Commissioner for Parliamentary Standards is currently investigating allegations against 7 MPs. Each and every one is a Tory!!!!
