It says a lot about the people who came up with this and who this ad is for, that worst crime they could come up for a comparison to not paying your debts, is shoplifting.

so i've been doing some reading about crime and drugs in london and other urban areas out of curiosity, and while obviously all that knife-crime island stuff isn't worth addressing, i am curious how Brexit will effect the provision of social services to poor british folk? like I was looking into how to apply to council housing in various london boroughs, and then i looked up the buildings and was unsurprised to see that just like US public housing the neighborhoods they're in have the highest rates of violent crime/drug use/are physically segregated from affluent boroughs (I guess Southwark is like this?) and are thus more economically reliant on government services than places that have a bunch of middle-class housing or whatever as i understand it pretty vaguely, all of the existing programs have already been devastated which is why I keep reading things about food banks and insufficient public housing amid calls to privatize the NHS, etc. but everything I read about brexit sticks to discussions of trade, high finance, and diplomacy, without really giving a non-British reader an idea of how such a huge lurching system change as a no-deal would impact people who don't look like honey baked hams and live in incredibly expensive houses Jose posted:No deal is going to kill lots of people this is kind of what i mean lol jesus

I’ve been under the impression the narrative was cribbed from America right libertarian style grievance peddling about encumbrances on the free market

I remember some tv poverty porn program where the most stereotypical fat benefits single mum was screaming at a council worker for a council home (not the bedsit she’d been put in with her kid) that ingerlund was full so why is all the money going to immigrants nothin to do with the slow strangulation of council funding by Osborne or the help to buy scam that’s been running for years

A Buttery Pastry posted:If the UK can trick the EU into landing all of its armies in Ireland, and then use its naval might to prevent them from escaping, it can siege down Berlin for an excellent Brexit deal. This is a Paradox games joke I presume? Though I half wonder if it has historical precedent. History is nuts. And also picturing it being the Irish throwing a huge kegger.
