  1. I honestly believe that the vast majority of Israeli and Palestinian citizens want nothing but an end to the control and the violence. I think they could work together, it's those in charge who need to go.

  6. It's not always pride or shame. It can often be fear. When you feel like you're already teetering on the brink, the fear of asking for help and being turned away is very real and very palpable.

  7. There's also a bunch of studies that have shown its far more cost effective to house and feed people than it is to pay for the long term consequences of having swathes of society in poverty.

  9. I was also there and OP has the right of it. A peaceful march where various cultures and faiths were present in solidarity. The speakers at march's end consistently condemned Hamas and called for the release of hostages, in addition to an immediate stop to the bloodshed. Some speeches evoked similiarities with MLK's famous speech, in that they called for a future where Israeli and Palestinian children live side-by-side. Meanwhile, a bunch of "patriots" who don't even understand their own history or what armstice actually means turned up to pick a fight with police at the cenotaph for no reason other than their own sense of inferiority. Or maybe they just wanted a scrap. Either way, they're a joke. I've heard from a few sources that Yaxley-Lennon bailed pretty quick.

  11. This is where we don't actually vote for the Prime Minister, we vote for the party. Tories won the vote back in 2019 and, though it makes them look throughly inept, there's no rules saying they can't switch out their leader as they see fit. So make sure to vote them out next election.

  19. @@dc6807 Then you're not understanding the basic premise of a society. For us to be able to live the lives we do, we need people working jobs at all "levels" of society. Especially these low-skilled positions you mention. Someone HAS to do it. These people have to be able to pay their way so their job has to pay them a decent living wage. Saying "get an education and a better job" is really missing the point. If everyone did that, our society wouldn't work. But it equally doesn't work if all the people filling those roles can't afford basic essentials due to price increases.

  21. @left_blank So your answer is that normal, working people have to live much more frugal lifestyles. So less people are buying stuff, less money circulating within our capitalist economy. That means more businesses go under, as they just aren't seeing enough trade anymore. So more people are out of work, can't afford to buy the basics etc. and so on. It repeats, getting worse and worse each time. This is why your answer is basic, lazy and unsustainable.

  35.  @NotUnymous  "didn't do enough to prevent the majority from voting Tory"... What are you suggesting? Physically restraining voters who don't agree with us? That's an absolutely shite response, not even a counter, to someone pointing out the simple fact, not an argument, that the overwhelming majority of people DIDN'T vote Tory. You might want to reevaluate your poorly-considered stance.

  37. It WOULD affect my decision to vote Labour, as it further demonstrates their intent to appeal to Tory voters. But it doesn't, because Starmer lost my vote when he wouldn't back the unions, cemented when he put his support behind Netenyahu.
