Yes, that's exactly what you said:

"they (left-wing Holers) would be out dancing in the streets like they did when they got Charlie Kirk."

While I've never considered it on Hol, I can think of one or two that would fit your description.....others though with the maturity to abhor that method of power transfer.

Your description though fits countless progressives in America after Charlie Kirk, as the aftermath proved.

There are definitely a lot more unhinged progressives/leftists in America than we see here - that 'meme-able' they/them with 19 piercings and green hair seems way more prevalent over there, and many seem to have a dizzying lack of logic and critical thinking ability.

Thankfully, I think it's a much smaller minority here, and by consequence I think the sort of discourse around politics and political violence is very different.

I think it's very unrealistic to pretend that celebrating assassination attempts is a view held by any sort of meaningful percentage of people on here, or in the UK as a whole.

I think that along with the increasing levels of nihilism in society.....both on the left and right.....that attachments to what we would call normalcy isn't as strong in younger generations than you'd think.

Britain is said to always be ten years behind where the States is......Not something I always adhere to but it's true in some regards.

I think because younger people have less 'skin in the game', due to several factors, they are going to be far more radical than other generations, who managed to get footholds far more easily than today's generation.

That means more of the younger demographic will identify with the anti establishment right or left.

We are entering an era in the west where establishment parties are going to get a kicking.

Correct. The forthcoming government in ireland will make Keir look Middle of the road, boring, and harmless. Looney Lefties on the edge of Power.....and its actually hilarious cos the mainstream (FF, FG) have nobody but themselves to blame.
The irish already have a Commie Feminist President ( from a dodgy flawed election)....and soon a Sinn Fein commie PM.

burn baby burn.

LAURA PERRINS: Why I'm voting for Catherine Connolly - Gript

If you want to spoil your vote, that’s a matter for you but it will not hurt either FF or FG.

Trump in the US. We are getting the Far Right and the Far Left all slugging it out against each other. We are back to the 1930s folks.

I was wondering what had happened about his $10bn lawsuit against the BBC. You can actually access the court file and the BBC has lodged an application to strike out the claim. I'm surprised this hasn't had more publicity. They have hired a top Washington lawyer who clearly knows what he is doing and seems to have the upper hand.


If the US court finds the BBC liable for something aired outside the US, then by the same token every US media outlet will be liable in similar cases. Cant see them wanting that.

How much do top US lawyers cost I wonder?
If the BBC stuck to the truth in the first place, none of this would have happened. It's now costing everyone millions, potentially billions.

Some of them charge up to $4000 an hour. That'll be alright if the entire case takes 30 minutes; any more than that could get pricey.

The case will cost millions of dollars each side. I imagine Trumps lawyer is on a no win no fee, with his fee dependent on how much he recovers. That's the way it is in the US. It makes it all about money.
As for the BBC, well if you are being sued for $10bn you have to spend to defend.
There is mandatory mediation before an independent judge fixed for October 2026. I would expect the case to settle on confidential terms unless the BBC stroke out succeeds.
