What is it with the rise of the spineless morons at the moment?

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

The fact that so many people listen to these cunts is disheartening
This kid was barely a wiggle in a nutsack when 9/11 happened and then all the other events that followed. These little twats have been handed everything and had to earn nothing. The only thing we should be giving them is daily ass beatings in public.
How dare you? Spines are one of the few bones snakes DO have.
Lemmy says UK would be better off if Farage did not exist in it
We would never have had that stupid Brexit without hm, so fair to say Lemmy is right.
No. Please. We can't be having people led astray by TikToks made by this knock-off Chalamet with a bad haircut. Stop it. We're being silly.
Instead of The King we get Guy of Gisbourne from Maid Marion.
I'm sure Farage would have been better off. Not sure the country would have been.
Reform really can't keep quiet about their Nazi tendencies can they, they are all too thick to shut up.
I was under the impression that the UK didn't have a choice in that one
Then you need to dramatically reread your history. The Nazis were pretty ready to share the world with the British Empire and absolutely would've preferred to not get into it with them anytime soon but Britain decided it was going to do total war to prevent the Nazis overtaking mainland Europe.
They said something similar to the Russians.
This isn't based on sketchy diplomacy at the time, this is based on private writings gone over by historians. Also, Britain declared war on Germany in response to the war in Europe, not the other way around...
Right, but to be fair Britain had no access to the nazi leaderships’ private writings at the time, and really couldn’t be sure if they felt that way, and we can’t be sure the nazis might have changed their minds in the face of a meeker and weaker British response.
So overall, I think perhaps the British response was pretty close to forced out, despite the theoretical full knowledge scenario of coexistence.
Being that post war Britain has defined itself as Britain's greatest hour was defeating the Nazis, this isn't a wise thing to say.
This is a weak point of the British Far Right. They can't wrap themselves up in the Union Jack and claim to honour Churchill, while actually being Nazis. It's a weakness of us those opposed to the far right need to be pointing to a lot more.
