Yeah this is my local council. They got totally destroyed by the Greens and now I can't wait for the unilateral nuclear disarmament of Colchester.

In the early 2000s it was loving blasphemy to suggest that the war in Iraq was built on false pretenses. Now loving imagine saying this poo poo in the late 80s/early 90s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_whePVoqOY Stick to the end where he is directly comparing casualty numbers, which is pretty fuckin' horrific just to think about. If you're an American kid coming up through the literal decades of social studies brainwashing, Bill Hicks was like coming out of the Matrix for the first time, because oh god, what the gently caress Taintrunner has issued a correction as of 13:04 on May 3, 2019 |

Those protests just like the ones in America accomplished nothing and not a single talking head on either side of the Atlantic made a bit of difference. So yes, it was blasphemy.

It was very normal to be anti-war in Britain at the time. The leader of the house of commons resigned in protest of it.

I remember specifically being in computer class in middle school, like 04-05, getting into a loud and angry argument with a kid over the fact that I had to explain that no, Saddam and bin-Laden hated each other, and no, Saddam did not do 9/11, and if you really don't believe me, then turn around and loving google who did 9/11 and they angrily refused. just awe inspiring levels of stupidity
