  3. Capped? lol when the cap is set higher than most working-class people spend, it isn't helping... The middle and upper classes will save money. Another bonus for the rich!

  6. The world is in a similar state to how it was back then. With the same types rising to power globally on the backs of lies and hate. Never forget?

  8.  @URBeingLiedTo  lol authoritarianism is right-wing and your revisions of history and political illiteracy make me laugh. You have no idea about ideology. Go back under your bridge troll and regurgitate your nonsense in an echo chamber for those who lack wits...

  9. Well, that's completely normal...

  10. That's a coincidence, I have living human skin on my finger too, maybe I'm a robot?

  11.  @benvandam369  I can't say many things without being filtered. Tories are the Fred West of politics and the NHS is their patio!

  12. They're all paid to do it by billionaires apparently... If they had any money backing them they wouldn't resort to such drastic action, they'd be on panel shows, question time, and putting out adverts and flyers. To think billionaires fund the fight against themselves...

  13. It's ok, just keep wasting billions of our taxes through greed, incompetence and kleptocracy, we'll keep filling the pot back up... They're like children who don't understand the value of money and keep running back to mom and dad (the taxpayer) for a top-up every time they run out...

  14. Tories should all do that and then stay there...

  15. Gary is not wrong, check recent legislation and you will see a consistent attempt to take our rights, freedoms and usher in Fash is mmm...

  16. A Royal coronation is a waste of money and serves to remind people of an archaic system of divine rule. Royals have them to feel important, but in essence, they are impotent symbols of decadence...

  17. ...and in a few months' time, you'll still hear people say they're better off under the Tories despite the plethora of evidence to the contrary. How a nation could be gaslit and held ransom by privileged aristocrats is beyond my understanding...

  18. Must be terrible living in a country where you can't protest and journalists get arrested. But enough about the UK, what's happening in China?

  21. Nation celebrates? with council pop and the occasional weekly meal...

  22.  @hmq9052  Why are some people unable to grasp statistics and consider things from a sociological point of view? This isn't about me, over 1/3rd of British citizens live in working poverty, Nurses and teachers are forced to use food banks. I pity your lack of intellect...
    2
  23.  @hmq9052  PS We have 1/3rd of the population in working poverty with nurses and teachers using food banks to survive. 27.1 percent of children in the United Kingdom were estimated to be living in relative poverty in 2020 and things have only got worse. We have a national debt exceeding £2.3 trillion which has led to a debt to GDP ratio of over 100%, meaning we can't afford to even pay off the debt instalments. 1 in 10 British people are on the NHS waiting lists because we have a staff shortage of over 100,000. While our government have lost billions to fraud, overpaid on excessively expensive contracts, broken the law and continually lied to people without the intellect to realise they are being conned...

  24.  @hmq9052  I could forage and hunt my own food and use deadwood to heat my home and cook my meals in the feudal age. Those things I can't do now. However, I'm sure you realise that's unrelated to my point and a waste of time typing. If you can't debate the point, stop proving your ignorance...

  25. Slow news day? not much going on at the moment is there? apart from the threat of mutually assured destruction from nuclear armageddon...

  26. Just think, when they mature they'll leave the ocean and skip through the surf to join the grazing herds of wild horses already on the land...

  27.  @robertlangley1664  They aren't being processed and put up in hotels because the Tories aren't processing the paperwork and have closed all the migrant centres. We could make 2,000 migrant millionaires every single week for the cost of corporate welfare and subsidies alone... That's 2 billion every single week given to the wealthy and you cry about a few million a week... It ain't migrants costing you, it's the Tories and their rich mates, who then blame the migrants. Maybe stop falling for their trick of pointing at immigrants while they lift your wallet out of your back pocket...

  28.  @barneybuster8915  They cost you money. You own their estates and the profits from tourism as a taxpayer. They just live there because George III went bankrupt after he lost America as a colony and made a deal with the state for a pension plan for his descendants which we've paid for over 250 years...

  29. A Recession is an amphibious mammal that inhabits the Amazon basin and spends its time hunting between the river and the rain forest... It was discovered in 1066 by Mr Tom Recession who named it after his daughter Lisa...

  30. No you are now a party paid for by corporate lobbyists and only a small improvement from the Tories. You no longer represent the working class or unions but the status quo and the developing corporatocracy... Corbyn is 100x the man Starmer is...

  31. Being subject to feudal aristocratic rule is nothing to be proud of...

  32.  @sarahnewton2550  I know how you feel, Just sit back and enjoy the show as corporate billionaires ascend to omnipotent deities in a dystopian corporatocracy while the human race, our history and achievements are gradually devoured by the rancid, festering disease known as disaster capitalism...

  33.  @sarahnewton2550  I wish an ideological shift or humanitarian renaissance was possible. But as is often said, power isn't given, only ever taken. Those with power employ vast resources to retain it. At the risk of more cliches: power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. We have dark hours ahead of us If we want to see the light of dawn.

  35. Have the connotation parade in the middle of the night for all I care and most people I know agree, we got bigger problems than spoilt royals...

  36. It seems sex scandals, a failing economy and the lack of respect of the British public while most of his own party want to get rid of him - are not enough to make him resign. But then again arrogant, privileged elitists never have to suffer the consequences of their own actions... Maybe we shouldn't have multi-millionaires are aristocrats in such positions of power, with access to the public's taxes that they use as their own little piggy bank?

  37. I hate it when that happens...

  38. Oh, they were tsunami sirens and not wildfire sirens...

  39. So crashing the economy, fleecing the taxpayer, increasing the cost of living and scrapping things is all the Tories are good for. If only more people in the UK accepted that simple fact we could avoid all the misery and poverty...

  41. lol drain the swamp? they've allowed the swamp to submerge most of the UK in fetid, sewerage just like our beaches and rivers. Poverty, polarization, bullying, economic devastation they've turned the British people against each other in a relentless attack on sanity and reason...

  42. Who dropped out of 3 nuclear treaties and forced the world back into nuclear proliferation? Answers on a postcard kids!

  45.  @randomlyswatching9481  I'll take your word for it, you seem like an expert...

  46. Even money-saving experts are saying there's nothing they can do. It's like giving savings advice to people who are drowning in debt. Tell the energy cartels to stop gauging their customers... Monopolies setting high prices when raw materials have gone down in price.

  47. Why don't we just admit capitalism doesn't work? It creates a billionaire class while the rest of us live in poverty. Cheap toxic goods and the exploitation of child labour and developing countries...

  48. Tories have made that an inevitability, cheesy Truss once said she'd like to "Bang the dumb all over the world for Britain" and she sells more pork pies than Melton Mowbray. What have we done to deserve such a malicious group of corporate stooges? well, personally I've never and will never vote Tory but many of you voted for them out of apathy and ignorance, that was your first mistake.

  49.  @ba_creative8240  You don't understand the economy. Over £100 billion is given to corporations in subsidies every year. We have a debt to GDP ratio of 95.8% and the Tories are responsible for creating 3/4rs of our £2.4 trillion national debt. Brexit cost us trillions in trade, admin and losses to the pound, things like our triple-A credit rating being reduced twice. We also lose between £40-120 billion from corporate tax evasion would which pay for the NHS annual budget twice over. So please don't mention research when all you offer is Tory mythology...

  50.  @ba_creative8240  Debt is taking 95.8% of our taxes, do you understand that? that money could be used to pay for infrastructure and help for those in poverty. Collecting the annual taxation that corporations fail to pay could pay for the NHS. Stopping corporate welfare could pay for real welfare for the poorest in society. Do you understand these things? We have the money to give everyone a decent life!!!
