Another superb analysis from James O’Brein. Real nail on head stuff.
PS In case anyone missed it on the Starmer thread. Suck Here actually abstained on Braverman’s truly vile human rights and international law-breaching ‘Illegal Immigration Bill’. That is where the leader of the UK opposition resides.
It's pretty clear what I wrote.

Japan would be a problem, but you could totally get away with only speaking English in Kreuzberg (the particularly art/counterculture part of Berlin) and absolutely without issue in Norway, Sweden and almost certainly Holland.

Ah yes. Like the Brits one runs into do to Americans.
Probably why Hitler believed for a while that the UK would come across to his side and that an invasion was unnecessary. Perhaps he was just 90 years too early...

Currently living and working in UK, France and Germany, I think France is culturally closer. The way the Germans structure systems (not engineering ones) and the way they then follow these systems without really challenging them makes me think they are a million miles from Brits. Anyone thinking it would be a cool place to live need only try and get past the paperwork they create and enforce on you. Most of it is illogical.
Let's then talk about the humour. And the style (outside of architecture and Porsches).

Tories Unchained Season 13, episode 4562: GB News, and in particular retired tabloid pukefountain Kelvin Mackenzie, now appear to advocating violence towards refugees (Twitter).
I’m half tempted to link to some of the meathead thugs this messaging is reaching, but I just don’t want the content anywhere near my website. There is a ton of ‘sink the boats, let them drown’ type content and we should be in zero doubt that the spark for it is coming directly from No. 10 Downing St. They are merely repeating the sentiment of Braverman’s chants.

Pretty easy to live in Tokyo with minimal Japanese. Obviously the more language you have the more you get out of it but it's not a dealbreaker - you can learn enough in a fortnight or so to do the basics like feed yourself, use public transport and buy records ;-)
Though Japanese politics can be pretty weird too. We used to regularly get the wackjob ultranationalist right-wing groups driving their sound trucks round our neighbourhood. Sometimes it can be quite nice not to understand the language very well!

Is yellow / purple the preferred colour scheme for all right-wing nationalist nutjob parties?

Yep, you did.
But hey, Braverman didn’t actually suggest sending immigrants to Dachau, so there is no comparison….
….apparently.

Funny. Normally Type 2 VW buses are full of loved up hippies who just want everyone to get along, man, and not right wing nut jobs.Pretty easy to live in Tokyo with minimal Japanese.

This is another interesting take on impartiality questioning the legality of the situation we increasingly have where serving Tory MPs working as presenters are “interviewing” other Tory MPs or Tory ministers on GB News (Twitter). This looks to be a clear breach of Ofcom rules. It certainly should be as that is in no way an impartial scenario. It is banana republic-grade propaganda and can’t possibly be viewed as anything else.

And to state the bleedin obvious, as you say, GB News is not credible news media. People commenting on GB News 'investors' taking a haircut miss the point. It's no more about getting a financial return than Russia Today or Press TV. They're all just propaganda outlets for nasty repressive regimes.

What I can't understand is other media outlets reporting what's being said on GB news. Why are you validating their content and publicising them? Without that, it would just be an echo chamber. Similarly why was there a clip of Yaxley-Lennon saying something on BBC news earlier?
