British people don't care about the Falklands? Where did you pull that nugget from? We literally fought a war over them and everything. Surprised you didn't know that.

I'll never understand why people who aren't rich themselves are always so furiously opposed to inheritance being taxed, and yet think losing a significant chunk of the money they've gone out and earned through their own labour is perfectly acceptable.

Has anyone, ever, thought "I'd better not disturb him, he's wearing glasses"?

Are you really going with "just overthrow the government if you don't like them"?

Yeah guess what, just like him I also eat food and breathe oxygen, we're practically the same person! Come on, you can do better than that.

That's the obvious result of making sweeping generalisations and will only be exacerbated by this ludicrous motion. You might not be anti-semitic, Natalie Portman might not be, most Green Party members might not be - but many seem very comfortable sharing a stage with those who clearly are.

That's not what *Zionism* is doing. It's what *the Netanyahu government* is doing. You can oppose that to your heart's content and no-one will accuse you of anti-semitism.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
But the definition of Zionism doesn't include ethnic cleansing and genocide? The Green Party have just decided that it does so they can call anyone racist if they want Israel to exist.

OK, then let me rephrase: people who believe in the self-determination and statehood of the British people. Are they racist?

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Honestly I've learned not to waste time getting into it with people like you.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
What, the country itself? The physical landmass? Or do you actually mean some people who live in that country?

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
How can a country be racist? Tired of these moronic takes.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Sorry, was there something you still wanted? I thought I made clear I don't want anything to do with you since you're clearly a sad little fucking loser.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Ah so you're just a shit internet troll then. Nothing of value to say, nothing but ignorance on display. Thought so.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
How on earth are you claiming that? You've made no sensible points and done nothing to rebut anything I said. Makes you sound like a 12-year-old.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Much of the entire world throughout history has been racist, and in fact significant parts of it still are. There are also plenty of examples of imperialism and colonialism throughout history. Silly to suggest that the British are unique for this, or that modern-day Britons are to blame.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Really? Your argument is not only that to be Zionist is to be racist, but also now that to be British is to be racist as well? And you wonder why the world doesn't take Green voters seriously. What are you gonna do, pass another motion? Enjoy your swift nose-dive to irrelevance, won't you.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Flawed logic here. By that logic, there are British people currently engaged in racist campaigns so being British is racist.

What? Germany wasn't replaced, it still very much exists. Surprised you wouldn't know this. And that's the point: you can advocate for removing the shitty people from a country without suggesting the whole country should cease to exist.

The sad thing is that I couldn't name a single green policy being proposed by the Green party. Do they even bother with them any more or they just the Palestine action party now?

Funny how it's always the free speech lot who want to control others yet cry their eyes out when their hateful shit gets called out.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Try not to take everything quite so literally would be my advice.

More likely it's just the distance from your house. Wherever I walk our dog she will shit exactly 100 yards into the walk, it's uncanny.

I think if you get to the point where you only need to be in central London a couple of days a week then a lot of people are living a lot further out than just Home Counties.
100
Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Personally I reckon a far bigger factor is that the growth of remote and hybrid working now allows a lot of people to have successful careers without having to live within easy commuting distance of central London. This would also explain why other regions have experienced higher house price growth.

I can't keep up with your gish-gallop

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Please, tell us your own country so that we can all ascribe things from its history to you personally?

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
You realise it's moronic to try to pin sins of previous centuries onto people alive today? I mean you do know that, right? I don't take credit for good/impressive things Britain did in the past, and I don't take blame for the bad ones either, however much you might be determined that we should.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Did you grow up yet? No? Then fuck off.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Sorry, I said "get back to me when you've grown up". Maybe you missed that bit.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Get back to me when you've grown up a bit yeah? You sound positively American with your levels of understanding of the world.
100
Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Yeah, see this is what's ridiculous: no matter who's doing the killing, somehow it's just always Britain who deserves the criticism. Right? Sixth form politics for Green voters who don't actually understand anything, can't take it at all seriously.
200
Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
And doesn't that just sum up many people's attitudes to Britain: damned if we do, damned if we don't. Which is why I find such positions ridiculous.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Your point is refuting mine? Which point? Be specific please as you're making no sense.
110
Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
And? What point are you trying to make? That Churchill wasn't a cuddly omni-benevolent leader, as if the entire fucking world doesn't already know that?

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Sorry, can't take your opinion seriously at all.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
I don't even know what point you think you're making now, but either way I find you ridiculous.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Yeah we famously didn't manage to defeat the Nazis in 1945...

Oh piss off.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Oh FFS don't be ridiculous. Of course nations act out of self-interest, that doesn't mean we didn't make enormous sacrifices to fight a genuinely evil regime. Tired of some people's determination to make the British the bad guys no matter what.

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Yeah from 1939-1945 the British were just sat around doing nothing weren't they.... 🤡

Don Mateo @donmateo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Yeah Britain famously did nothing at all to oppose Nazi Germany

I've had similar after eating beetroot. Spent 5 minutes convinced I had some kind of terrible disease before realising it was probably all the beetroot.

Maybe we should factor in when the Isle of Wight was last unpopulated?

I was recently discussing the value of wind turbines with someone who claimed they were useless. It transpired that they thought that they point of them was to act as giant fans to cool the air to prevent global warming.

That's one way to completely butcher what she said while ignoring the point altogether

Richard fucking Tice on BBC Breakfast AGAIN. Why are these grifters given so much air-time?

Yeah nobody is falling for this. They're looking for their mates so they can say "get a load of this bell end"
