In the UK we spent 6 years agonising over Brexit and now we're spending another 6 years agonising over immigration - all while massive corporations rape our economy and industries and successive governments devalue our currency through fiscal incompence. It's scandalous.
Below inflation pay increases are not really pay increases at all are they? They are pay cut reductions. Im so sick of economically incompetent govts of all flavours demonising public sector workers for trying to reduce the amount of salary they lose each year.
Just don’t any of you spongers think of asking for a decent pay rise. You’ve had plenty of claps during the pandemic. What more do you want? Rgs, A grateful UK Government.
Oh yeah because what we need is less politics and current affairs and more jungle testicle munching. Jesus, the UK is so screwed as a country.

Thank you Tories - Larry & Paul
It’s beyond me why anyone would want to go to university for 4 years to study geopolitics when judging by the insight provided by right wingers over the last few days, it’s possible to solve Middle East peace by enjoying a few sessions “dan ur local Weverspoons”. Baffling.
I still can’t quite believe it - a current serving Home Secretary has put the lives of every one of those police officers at risk. Shame on her. These Tories really are ripping apart the very fabric of our society as they flail around in the death throes of their rancid party.
Can I just extend my deepest, heartfelt appreciation to the patriotic crowd here for treating the occasion with all the solemnity and respect that it deserves. Especially respectful should the war dead happen to have been “Enger-land” supporters in life. So very touching.
Every politician and commentator that said that a march calling for peace should not take place two miles away from the Cenotaph because this was supposed to be a solemn period can fuck right off. This is what hate looks like. This is indeed on Braverman. She must be sacked.
The far right paying their respects to the war dead. Absolute disgrace. @SuellaBraverman this is on you
Hang on!! The very notion that a protest calling for the cessation of fighting should be paused to allow the ‘proper observance’ of Armistice Day - a day on which we remember the agreement to cease fighting is just fucking insane!!! That’s literally what the word armistice means!
'Bombs would continue to drop, but the march calling for it to stop should be postponed?'
'Correct.'
@mrjamesob hears caller Laura's reasoning on why the November 11th pro-Palestine protest shouldn't happen, saying it would be a good 'PR move' for the organisers.
Caller says November 11th pro-Palestine march should be postponed
My god how much does the world miss carefully crafted communication borne of hard thought analysis and reason like this?!

Home Sec: “Deliberately operate below the criminal threshold” = the proles doing anything that we don’t like, regardless of legality so we’re going to put a stop to it. This is fascism, pure and simple.
Due to FPTP, the next general election in the UK won’t be some intersectional smörgåsbord of options from which we select based on the myriad aspects of our world view. It will be Labour or Tory. Pick a side and vote if you want to reduce the risk of the other side winning.
Before the bank bonus cap is lifted, every single penny that the UK tax payer shelled out post financial crash to bail out the banks should be paid in to a sovereign wealth fund. Every single fucking penny.
How do you feel to learn the cap on bankers' bonuses is being removed from the end of this month as part of a post-Brexit shake-up of City rules initiated by @KwasiKwarteng?
So Lipman makes two interesting points in this article 1) current collective punishment is justified because Palestinians voted Hamas 17 years ago vast majority of whom were not even born 2) Q) where would I,the reader stop in defending my country? A) Mass child slaughter Maureen
Maureen Lipman, Rachel Riley &
Tracy Oberman- poster girls to
the Israeli government and its supporters that are deliberately confusing anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism to avoid criticism.
The painful truth is, being
Pro Palestine isn't anti semitic.

To those that complain that Palestinians should’ve ousted Hamas - a good example of a woman whose grief drives her to exclaim “All this because of Hamas” and male companion covers her mouth for fear of the consequences. These people are scared victims too. Never forget that.
Liam Fox clearly not understanding concept of humanitarian aid. “Aid should only be provided once the hostages have been returned”. Never mind the fact that 1) the clue is in the title. It’s aid you provide to preserve humanity. 2) the Palestinian people are not holding hostages.

How much courage does it take to subject the poor, weak and the disabled to a decade of crippling austerity rather than making the rich, the powerful and the perfectly able lift the country out of the financial mess it is in? Because to me, that seems like unpatriotic cowardice.
