To do what? The Tories have a majority and the opposition isn't saying anything that disagrees with them. We essentially have a GONU. This is just a liberal saying "This is a big problem so we need a BIG empty gesture".

lol the Tories hosed up so badly that they had to make up a new English Virus strain to explain it and got Christmas cancelled but it's all memory holed a week later. Good of Keir not to say anything that could have made people pay attention to that.

For four and a half years we were told that every time Labour didn't have a response ready within ten minutes of an event happening that it showed how terrible Corbyn was, how out of date and slow he was. They'd retweet whatever boiler plate nonsense the Lib Dems posted with phrases like "the real opposition". They'd suppress info on the right wing of Labour deliberately sabotaging communications and briefing against Corbyn to the press.

All for this. So that this flailing sweaty ham could gently caress up opposition to Boris Johnson going into a lockdown months late and not even call for better sick pay or provisions for rent arrears. This is the Labour party as they meant it to be. This is the kind of opposition they wanted. This is the Labour party fully operational.

They threw away your future for this.

Education doesn't work when you have a media that will broadcast bullshit purely for reaction and treat it as on par with experts.

Having said that making it a crime not to get the vaccine plays into those bullshitter's hands as they treat it like a conspiracy.

I don't know what the solution is but killing Rupert Murdoch (in Minecraft) would probably help.

It's just a particularly aspirational variant on "The real, liberal Boris Johnson appears to have gone forever... but what if?"

I've always found it weird that people called Johnson a socially Liberal tory. The man has always been a racist, homophobic, sexist piece of poo poo but because he's so terrible at covering up that he can't keep his dick in his trousers they treat him as if he's only playing a character rather than just being a massive, obvious hypocrite.

10 months or so ago when the first school lockdowns were coming into play, I got served a very similar "hamper" (a torn and pre-used carrier bag) that largely consisted of a loaf of shitewhite, some eggs of unknown provenance, around a kilo of spuds and a bunch of green bananas. Many others had similar experiences.

This time around there seems to be more traction but the usual suspects are already lining up with the old classics

"We cant give them money because they will spend it on crack and prostitutes"

"We cant give them vouchers because even though it's a technical impossibility they will spend it on booze and fags, my mates cousins brothers stepmum who knows someone who works at morrisons swears its happening"

"Well someone needs to tell them to sell the only forms of entertainment they have before they can access help, and also frivolous things like a basic phone contract need to end- they can contact their employers via smoke signals instead… just make sure it's not from a cigarette"

The complete refusal to do anything for anybody because someone somewhere might do something against very strict protestant morality never fails to shock me. Just the weakest excuse for apathy to the suffering of others dressed up as wise morality. I hate it.

And even if the parent receiving £30 spent 2/3rds of that on booze and fags they'd have still gotten more for their money than what they got in these "Hampers".

Yeah it's a joke. Various local shops started doing fruit & veg delivery boxes during the pandemic and for under £30 from them you can get a box packed with stuff that lasts over a week and is heavy enough that it's hard to lift but somehow a big company doing things at scale just shoves in a fiver's worth of stuff and boom job done, profit made and don't care about the recipients. It's legit sickening

What's infuriating is that it isn't a £5 worth of food. It's what you'd pay for it shopping in Asda. This is a company that deals in scale purchase and bulk buying. They not only get the stuff going into these hampers at a massively reduced cost they have a huge amount of produce that needs to be used up before it rots and is wasted. They could have put £50 worth of supermarket priced food in these kits and not lost a penny. But they wouldn't have made as much money. Its naked evil and selfishness.

There's something deep within the British mind where people have internalised that "Suffering for a better future" means that any and all suffering is rewarded in the future. A big part of tory campaigning is just incredibly posh people saying "I'm going to make you suffer to make things better" and people buy it as common sense.
