At this point, anyone depending on the police for traditional (!) law enforcement may want to re-consider their options. Do what the fuck you want boys and girls because the 50 only really interested in going mob-handed to ultra low-effort misdemeanors.

You’ve been in Elon’s programme, haven’t you? 😁

Those rules were implemented in the crashes before 2008. The banks have the resources to get around them; they actually advise the government how to get their debt off-BS. You realise that’s a conflict of interest, right?

The whole idea behind the PFI is that the debt is not on the government BS.

2008 banking crisis showed that they’re all banking stooges. Banks go bust for their poor management. Public bales them out. Traders get enormous bonuses, although not on the level they screwed up. Some twenty years later, the last shares were sold to the market by the government on 30 May 2025.

Actually you could argue the 1991 ERM fiasco showed that they’re all banking Stooges.

(To no-one in particular, not OP either.)

Politician taking kickbacks or handouts or freebies, can’t happen, won’t happen. What the fuck did you think this is? The 2020s?!

You’re insane.

If a nuclear war kicks off, it would be better to be in the middle of it being deatomised and doing the experiments that don’t currently work in LHC. Not sure how to publish the results …

'Mercans have this idea that the second amendment (and case law attached) makes them safer in their own homes. I think anyone outside 'Merca can see the reality. Australia used to have guns and they ditched them.

Given the choice I’d still rather have them than not. However, having enough to blow the shit out of the world more than a couple of times does seem pointless waste of resources. I’d rather put the money into making fusion work outside an H bomb.

No. The Tories and Labour have had the same migration (and other) policy(ies) for years.

I’m Gen X, so as far as I’m concerned Corbyn is just an updated Michael Foot of my formative era. Except that MF’s (oooh I hadn’t realised that was the abbreviation) hobbyhorse was nuclear disarmament as I recall.

The older I get, the more liberal I get, but today’s youth are moving faster than me far far left displaying extreme authoritarian tactics. The inability of kids to get decent jobs, the apparent pointlessness of a uni education, and homes being out of affordability must play into that, but I don’t understand the rest of it really.

The seventies in the UK was just like this - I was very young pre teen - everything felt hopeless. Electricity was very limited - four hours a day. Rubbish and corpses piled up everywhere in the UK. I understand what it’s like. I’ve been though this before.

The Tories are looking for the next Mrs T to come save everyone. The circumstances which created Mrs T are no longer available and they wouldn’t recognise them/him/her if they did. Labour have no clue what they want but they know that they want to micro manage it to the n-th degree - the world needs more micromanaging bosses(!); that’s the reaction of someone who is terrified.

At the end of the day, the “West” and I hesitate to say the whole world is having a population crisis. The minimum babies per woman is way below 2.1 replacement, South Korea is at 0.7, the UK is at 1.7. Japan is about the same. The people are needed to maintain growth and pay the pensions at least.

Rather than fixing the problems they are looking at the symptoms.

Oh god. These far right adjacent fascists and their facts. They’re everywhere. /s

That’s said, we collectively elected a different set of cunts doing exactly the same thing as this lot.

I think that the Post Office fiasco shows us all that no-one is ever responsible, privatised or not.

There are a great many politicians who only appear to be the arsehole (with no other redeeming features) and remain alive.

Lesbian domestic violence statistics entered the conversation.

No-one wanted Birmingham residents escaping Birmingham after all. Least of all burning residents.

Nana saw Starmer steal her winter fuel and did something about it.

Young people typically vote liberal side.

Haha. They’re changing the voting age. Not your ability to have a tattoo, cigarettes or get married without your parents consent or hundreds of other things.

It’s about keeping power. Not about helping you or me as citizens.

Not lowering the age to have cigarettes, or tattoos or get married without parents consent or driving or an enormous long list of other things. Those things the politicians don’t trust to kids.

It’s purely about making sure children indoctrinated by the woke globalist teachers in schools since 1997 guarantee a leftist government remains in power.

Scotland has lowered the voting age to 16 similarly but they haven’t lowered the age for anything else.

It’s about power nothing else, not about the people.

Distance from a toilet. Further you are away, the wetter it’s likely to be tending towards diarrhoea.
