  2. People are extremely pissed of – what did they expected. The funny thing is that probably no one will protect them or their families either after everything they have done 🎉

  4. Any number of (especially Conservative) MPs plan to stand down at any given time, attacks on their office or not. How can you call an attack on an OFFICE "horrific" whilst ignoring demands for a ceasefire to stop a truly horrific death toll on innocents, especially when you are an enthusiastic and uncritical supporter of Israel?

  8. It's time they were all dragged out and the whole system revised to make it truly democratic!

    We're being openly robbed, and it's about time the public started to take action.

    We, the British, are far too apathetic for our own good!

  13. Stop treating people with malice to please your donors and you wouldn't have people trying to kill you

    It's not an attack ok democracy

  15. What about the hounarable men and women that had to forcefully leave the mps of government parties that had to leave because this government didn’t listen to them for a ceasefire and that’s why so many people of the public are also angered that you might comply for your decisions that is going to have a effect on the general public so you don’t vote against them you vote for them for the majority not minority that’s what’s been happening and the public feels let down and so many pms had to just give up their positioned they felt humiliated by the very people they thought was with them it’s the Israeli that bribes buys our governments souls they have non left Zionists think they winning but they will lose in the end

  17. ALOT of the population of the UK is absolutely 100% sick of your lying, stealing and disrespect towards every man woman and child who calls this place home. You tax us to high heavens then spit on us from your 3rd homes 4th floor window. And what??? You’re surprised we want to see you swinging from lamp posts across the country
    “A people should never fear it’s government, the government should fear it’s people”

  19. What about when MPs show support for humanity and want a cease fire in Gaza then loose their jobs. Isn't that not freedom of speech?

  21. I have no sympathy for any politicians when they have dragged this country into the abyss. I doubt that any one of them, unlike the elderly, have to limit the time they leave their heating on and have to make their pensions stretch even further as the cost of everything increases. You have no worth. Democracy? What Democracy?

  30. I reckon he would still get a huge inflation proof pension plus perks and end up on a board of some mult national company earning a fortune 😊

  34. This is about Mr Freer, being threatened by anti-Semite Muslim thugs. This is what happens when you invite a 7th century culture into a relatively civilised society!

  35. good, good. scumbags which cannot tell the time nor the cost of a pint of milk should be nowhere in politics or apart of the government structure.
