Because most young men would rather gamble on a 20% chance of dominance (financially, sexually, politically, whatever) than accept a lifetime of being average in a ‘fair’ system.
The men who would make such a gamble are definitely a minority.
Are the men of the UK the most absolutely cucked human beings to ever exist on planet earth ever in the history of time? Is there another time in history where this would have even been remotely tolerated? You allowed a foreign rape-brigade to rape an entire generation of your children, and the response has been essentially nothing.
The mistake here is to assume there's widespread ethnic consciousness among native Brits. I don't think that someone like Keir Starmer and most of the men who vote for him consider the victims to be their children in any meaningful sense - it probably registers for them in the same way that hearing about children being abused in Afghanistan does. As for the men who did want to do something about it, a large part of the scandal was that the authorities blocked them from doing so.
Is this actually true?
My gut instinct is that the figure of 250 000 sounds higher than I would have thought credible, although this might be wishful thinking. I admit I haven't read the report (this whole matter is so grim that I generally try to steer clear of the details). The fact that this seems to have been going on for decades though does make it more believable.
I admit I don't know who Rupert Lowe is. Is this a serious person?
Leader of Restore UK, the party who think Reform are too soft on immigration and would rather implement large-scale remigration. I think he's serious enough that this report will add some fuel to the continued migration of normies away from labour/conservative and towards Reform.
What will happen as a result of this? I can't honestly believe that it's nothing, is it?
I don't think there'll be rioting and/or mayhem. The people who would want to are too diffuse, and the authorities would come down like a ton of bricks. Any real impact will likely only be felt at the next election.
What should happen? How do you even begin to prosecute something of this scale in a way that doesn't resemble some of the darkest times in human history?
In an ideal world, all the people involved are appropriately punished and the victims and their families are offered restitution in whatever form is possible. As for how that could happen, well, it can't, because it's not really compatible with how the UK functions as a political entity. The UK is a multi-ethnic administrative and economic zone* with Muslims as the most favoured tribe and where inter-ethnic conflict is a perpetual issue to be managed (maybe this is true of most western nations these days, idk). Addressing these crimes in any way that someone like me or you would presumably see as just would require a complete insutitional re-orientation away from this model at every level. This is probably what the main political fight over the next few decades in the UK is going to be.
*I should mention here that I come from a family of migrants to the UK, although I like to think you wouldn't guess it if you met me IRL.

Who in this world is truly wealthy?
Taking Warren's $12 million net worth estimate at face value, this website calculates her wealth as being in the 98.5th American percentile. I guess she can still reasonably claim to be fighting against "the 1%"
Fair enough, I'll have a look.
ETA: I've watched the video. That such money would come as a release of frozen assets rather than a direct transfer from the US doesn't seem like a particularly important distinction. In either case, it's $300 billion that Iran didn't have access to previously and now would (hypothetically).

As soon as Trump turns on Israel the Democrats will have the Jews back in their good graces.
Not gonna happen. Even if the party elite wanted to make them welcome again, Jew hatred has become too entrenched among their base (and is non-negotiable for their Muslim voters).
Nah, this is buying too much into Iran's pseudo-mythology. Defeating Iran would be orders of magnitude easier for the US than something like beating Japan in WW2, even without using nukes (the most trivial method would be to destroy their energy, oil and water infrastructure, which Iran couldn't do anything about as they have functionally no airforce or air defense). The obstacle to doing this is convining the US public to make the necessary economic sacrifices for the sake of this project.
There seem to be rumours floating around that the US is going to pay $300 billion into some vague "redevelopment fund". If thats the case then Iran might come out in the black, so to speak.

Nope. I've seen a lot of people say it's not as good as his Hierarchy series.

Presumably it would be just another partisan issue? The left (and most of the media) would support it, the right would be against it, and swing voters would see it as just another ethnic conflict?

I think it's notable that Trump has no reduced the credibility of statements of foreign policy from POTUS to the point where we all agree collectively that they aren't worth discussion.

I've been reading the Hierarchy series by James Islington. The first book, The Will of the Many was great: full of flaws, but the things it does right it does so well that the problems basically fade away. The sequel, The Strength of the Few fumbles the ball hard, unfortunately, so much that I'm not sure how much interest I have in the rest of the series (next book scheduled to come out in 2027).

Ah yes, they've been here from the start.
It would be funny to start using this argument in reverse. Vikings discovered part of America a thousand years ago, so naturally Europeans have been in the Americas "since the start". There are even rumour of Jews in ancient Israel!

Is there any indication Trump is a remotely competent negotiator?

Unfortunately, knowing the UK, I'm fairly sure "violent-offense" would quickly be redefined to mostly mean "people posting non-governmental approved memes on social media".

That makes sense. I agree with you though that this seems like a reason to streamline other parts of the process; having violently criminals just wandering around seems like a pretty blatant societal failure mode.

being out on bail for a different stabbing at the time.
This isn't really addressing the core of your post but something I don't understand is why so many legal systems seem to allow clearly dangerous people like this to be allowed out on bail. What's the argument supposed to be?

Wasn't this part of why the Romans were always on campaign? War redirects the energies of restless young man with little stake in the existing order.

Thanks for the brit-posting. If I wasn't so lazy I'd make an effort to do more of it.
Another thing to add is that yesterday also saw the Scottish and Welsh parliament elections, where Reform also made huge gains. They went from 1 to 17 seats in Scotland, making them the joint-largest party with Scottish Labour behind the SNP, and from 2 to 34 seats in Wales, where they're now the second-largest party outright after Plaid Cymru.

I'm also blocked by them. I'm honestly surprised anyone thought I was noteworthy enough to block.
I'm not sure why you wrote a serious response to OP assuming he was arguing in good faith; he explicitly called for Pro-Palestinians and anti-semites to help him feel less bad about Israel responding to rocket fire. I don't think he's interested in non-groyper perspectives.
