At least I have no semblance of hope at the next election, so that's something. Having hope during the 2019 election nearly destroyed me, so this is probably a good thing.

In other news, lol:

Individualist brainworms. Who's going to do the low paid jobs if everyone has better paid jobs? Even from a beep boop Numbers Fuckstein perspective child welfare has a fantastic return on investment (as well as being one of the principle responsibilities of a society since idk 12000 BCE).

Absolutely zero sociological imagination. "If u pay for babby it eat money and money disappear :("

Yeah they've 100% decided that if they make ANY policy decision at all they risk loving it up and not squeaking by. So this is it then until the very end. No decisions whatsoever, no commitments on anything. Always twirling, twirling towards freedom and Keir.

If even after this weeks "Children are possibly going to get crushed to death by concrete" didn't cause them to blink, nothing is going to change.

Does help that the Tories have basically hosed it into the Sun tho.

The real flex would be making up shadow ministers the government doesn't have and possibly doesn't want. Shadow minister for big wet shits, shadow minister for micheal fabricant's hairpiece.

They have even less formal constitutional standing than the actual secretaries/ministers, so no. Johnson made the Minister for Levelling Up out of nothing, he didn't need a vote or anything, just waved his hand and 'it is done'.

quote:

Among 18 to 24-year-olds, only 30% say the monarchy is "good for Britain", compared with 77% among the over-65s.
...

The pollsters found that overall, 62% want to keep the monarchy.
...

On whether the Royal Family is good value for money, 75% of the over-65s believe they are, but only 34% of 18 to 24-year-olds feel the same.

And while 80% of the over-65s want Britain to stay as a monarchy, that falls to 37% for the 18 to 24-year-olds.



Think we will drop to below 50% within a decade if big ears stays in the big chair.

He's just not young and relatable enough.

I expect there'll be a lot more of the future King and Queen in the media in the next decade or two, possibly paying lip service to the issue of the day (global warming/cost of living) to make them more relatable to the youth.

Or who knows, perhaps it's just too late for them and the younger generations are just more worldly and aware of injustices, etc to put up with "tradition" just because some old posh people tell them to.

Mildly interesting Keir fact - my great uncle was named Keir, after Keir Hardie. My great grandfather was prominent in Labour in the early 1900s, president of the TUC during WW2, and named his son after Hardie, who he was close to earlier in his life.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
A bit of a Daily Mail question, but what good options are there for small civic buildings (e.g. primary schools, libraries)? Brick and mortar, slate roof, and plaster ceilings? Bish bosh simple, lasts forever.

lmao they were asking for “guarantees” which as we all know simply means the government has to promise any old bullshit and face no consequences when they don’t deliver, and yet:

quote:

A police station in Manchester replied to the court’s first request on the final day of the deadline for a response, saying 20,000 extra prison places were being built to deal with the problem of overcrowding. The second request for reassurance about UK prison conditions received no response from the UK.
