This is a Telegram Group that someone in Holland set up for me. I am now in control of it, and I post there regularly.
[I don't know what to make of British politics. To me it is as if it goes in circles. I'm glad to see Sunak gone. Apparently Sunak is stinking rich as well. A White man will lead the UK again, but he's a Leftist. It does seem as if Sunak's presidency shattered the Tories. To me, Britain's politics, like that of all major countries, is going nowhere. Jan]
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was ousted from office yesterday after the center-left Labour Party won a parliamentary majority in the United Kingdom’s first national elections in nearly five years. Sir Keir Starmer, Labour’s leader, is expected to become the country’s next prime minister.
Sunak, who heads the center-right Conservative Party, called for the early elections in May in a last-ditch effort to sway public support despite significantly trailing in opinion polls. Voters expressed dissatisfaction with a range of issues, including stagnant household income, the highest tax rates since the 1940s, and record immigration levels.
With 326 seats needed for a parliamentary majority, early results point to Labour winning 410 seats, Conservatives with 131, Liberal Democrats with 61, and the remainder split among a variety of parties (see tracker).
It would mark the lowest share of seats for the Conservatives—colloquially known as Tories—in the party’s 200-year history and ends a 14-year run by the party.

Video: Decapitation: How the Boers dealt with violent crowds of Blacks
A young Boer I knew, Gilbert, told me of the time in the early 1990s when he served in the South African Army and was stationed in the townships. He described the tactics the Boers used to smash violent black crowds with a minimum loss of life.
