Imagine this being the cause you voluntarily fight for. What a fucking loser.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Wow they both seem like such winners.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Imagine having more chin than fucking brains. Absolute degenerate cunt.

The irony of holding an Irish flag and fighting for Russia. Fucking twit.

I was reading the whole thing going "oh Jesus please not one of us" then reached the part where he's just a fuckwit and breathed a sigh of relief.

I was going to write that this seems like a shitty paper, with the unprofessional writing and typos. Then I saw it referenced a Mirror article. Turns out they lifted much of the wording from the Mirror, but not all of the punctuation. So they took shitty writing and made it worse.

IIRC the Mirror and the MEN are owned by the same company (alongside most other 'local' papers including the Birmingham Mail and the Bristol Post).

So they might have the right to copy the text. But they still screwed it up.

In another video posted at the weekend, Stimson makes it clear who he is fighting for Russia.

The ending reads like a grammatical error. But in the Mirror they used a dash. At least that looks more clear, although I'd prefer a colon.

In another video posted at the weekend, Stimson makes it clear who he is fighting for - Russia.

Absolutely. Just a warning that one'll drive themselves mad if they dig into every error produced in any Reach publication with the sheer amount of content they publish so quickly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I don't intend to dig in! But it's like entertainment journalism: there's a very low bar!

This seems like something that will move to GPT very quickly (if it hasn't already).

Don’t let him back in the uk. Simple as that. Rescind his citizenship. The government are too cowardly to do that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Legally a person cannot be made ‘stateless’ - unless they have an alternate citizenship to fall back on, you cannot revoke theirs, no matter how reprehensible they are. The ISIS volunteers from Europe weren’t made stateless, just very dead or arrested

If he was an ethnically Bangladeshi teenage girl, we in the UK could definitely find a way to render him stateless.

Believe it or not, STRAIGHT TO RWANDA

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Doesn't really matter either way, he's not coming back, the way the war is going he'll probably be blown up at some point, and if he does survive he'll be arrested. His nationality is basically not relevant.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

They would go right ahead, if he wasn't white

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Probably from Bolton

I'll be looking forward to seeing some drone footage from these guys on [email protected].

Thumbnail makes him look like he's touching cloth
