Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 5hThere are once prosperous areas in north east England which even now look like desolate bomb sites, thanks to her. As a Middlesborough foundry manager once said to me, "there be free drinks in our club when that b*tch passes." 000
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 15hNot really China; America thought they could dominate it via Chang Kai Shek, until Mao Zedong came in and spoiled their fun. The US therefore had an ulterior motive. And Russia liberated North China. How did America save Russia? 000
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 16hYes. I was curious as to why, after all, the building is still standing. 110
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 16hAs Mark Twain said, "America has the best government money can buy." 021
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 16hBeen following your Substack for a long time, good to see you on here! 000
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 20hHer Chinese would have to be a lot more fluent than her English for her to do that. 020
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 15/10/2026You might be interested to read Mark Twain's "To the Person Sitting in Darkness," published over 100 years ago. America's current behaviour isn't a new thing, by any means. Twain states that they learnt it from the British, and as a Brit, I'd say he's right. 010
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 15/10/2026It's just the Daily Heil doing what it does best, printing unsubstantiated inflammatory nonsense. 010
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Yes; he was funded by Engels, who was appalled at the horrendous working conditions in the British sweat shops during the so-called industrial revolution. It was written with the well being of the workers in mind, but in the hands of the powerful, it became yet another tool of oppression. 000
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 14/10/2026It puts me in mind of a toilet I once saw in Mongolia. 000
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 14/10/2026And here's me, after 50 odd years of studying Eastern European politics, blown away by his superior perspicacity. Those data centres must have blown themselves up, either that or it was migrants. Damn Mexicans get everywhere. 020
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Just the usual attemped face saving lies, blame the others just to make sure. 010
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Clearly, he's upset at how silent 'X' is, now the Russian bot farms have been destroyed. 010
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 12/10/2026This is horrendous even by Torygraph standards. I wonder what idiot approved this? 020
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I must admit, I do like to put the sriracha on the eggs while they're cooking. 010
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Little Britain sucking up to America, as usual. 011
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 12/10/2026It's "kinda weak" of him attacking the person making the post, rather than submitting a reasoned argument of his own in response to the post itself. Quoting his sources, of course. 010
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 12/10/2026They can't chase the migrants because of eating all the pizzas they deliver. 030
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I'd hate to get my friend into trouble for showing me stuff that he shouldn't. 010
Joe-Patterson @joe-patterson.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Because I don't know who else would have read it, I deleted it after you read it. 100
