the us also doesn't have the insane cross-party death cult that was/is Leave. without brexit, i think corbyn had a non-zero chance of pulling it off (disclaimer: foreigner opinion)

i think that makes our response the worst in the world? anyone do any better?

"worst" can only be evaluated with respect to a goal. in this case, the goal is to kill as many britons as possible and blame it on the europeans, so the truth is that this response is the best in the world

ah, but he has a statue somewhere in the uk, which means he was responsible for claiming territory for the empire by genociding a local tribe or something similar

That's not true. We elected Attlee, and he wanted things to be better. Of course, he achieved his improvements to the British way of life through the ruthless exploitation of our remaining colonies. What the British don't like is politicians who will admit that people in other countries have worth and are human

it's simple. british people need brutality in their politics, and they don't really care if it's directed against them or against some foreigners

'Imagine the state we’d be in if Corbyn had been in charge': the view from the 'red wall'

quote:

Sunak’s hospitality package made him feel “massively vindicated” for switching his vote from Labour. “Can you imagine what state we’d be in if Jeremy Corbyn had been in charge of all this?” he asked.


lol, uk voters are utterly unable to imagine a government that doesn't do full austerity now

what the gently caress

the most important ukpol principle to understand is the insightful and accurate observation by theresa may: "the people voted for pain". it gets right to the core of the subservient british psyche, from which many of the world's socio-political-economic problems arise

the people voted for pain. they want to be brutalised by their betters. the tories are only too happy to oblige

The BBC does not book rightwing comedians for its shows because they are not funny enough, according to an individual involved in making some of the corporation’s best-known comedy programmes.

...

...there had already been substantial pressure from BBC executives over the last 18 months to find pro-Tory, pro-Brexit comedians. Instead, the source said the real issue is that many of the Conservative-leaning performers considered by BBC producers “aren’t very good”.

xr staged a protest that blocked the distribution of some newspapers. starmer weighs in:


quote:

On Sunday the Labour leader, Keir Starmer, condemned an Extinction Rebellion protest that disrupted the distribution of national newspapers.

Starmer said: “The free press is the cornerstone of democracy and we must do all we can to protect it. Denying people the chance to read what they choose is wrong and does nothing to tackle climate change.”

...

The presses print the News UK titles including the Sun, Times, Sun on Sunday and Sunday Times, as well as the Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph, the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday and the London Evening Standard.
