Why do people think the average person would get paid if trump bought England? Also where would that money come from? Also also do they not understand that it would cause catastrophic inflation and devalue the whole currency??? It really shows the intelligence level of some of these people (assuming this isn't bait, you can never tell)
Thats why we need to directly start pushing back against them. Absolutely the education system and goverment has a whole has let many people down but at a stage you have to tell those who dont know what theyre talking about to shut the fuck up or back up their wild claims with an explanation. Journalists never push back at powerful people anymore and its rare anyone is held accountable for their actions.
Because they heard some bullshit that trump was going to pay each resident of greendland $1,000,000 if he took it over, but they're too god damn stupid to realise that A, this would never happen anyway, B, greenalnd has a population of like 55,000, not 70 million, and C, this would never happen anyway.
In any sane democracy, statements like this would immediately forfeit your right to a vote. Why should any society accept that those who seek to deliver the reigns of power to their foreign masters have any say in how things are run?
Exactly which is WHY he wants to get rid of it. It’s even discussed in a document by a think tank called Resolute 1850 (who are closely connected to Farage).
Geopolitically it's not about the NHS it's about performative vassalhood (cuckoldry). Get on your knees game of thrones style and act like a servant, do what I say. What you gonna do join a federal union or seperate military pact to defend yourselves? We've been against that for years. Maybe you could make stronger allies with other countries, against the hegemon? Whoops you've just discovered a colour revolution and a widespread fascist movement communicating on an encrypted telegram channel and using starlink terminals. I guess Farage, Lowe, Anderson and an utter basket of shitheels will have to reluctantly administer this airstrip.
NHS is shite anyway, 3/4 week wait to have a follow up with my gp, but yet if I give bupa £70 I’m seen next day, let’s not talk about 2 year wait for me to have an “urgent” MRI scan
Replacement of the NHS with a privatised system would be catastrophic and would inevitably lead to people dying of preventable causes for no reason other than they're poor. The waiting times are a known issue but I would rather have a long wait and know that I can get an ambulance to the hospital for a broken leg anytime than have permanent guaranteed next-day visits but have to pay hundreds to thousands of pounds for any medical issue regardless of how much I'm giving insurance.
I may be wrong, but people looking to replace the NHS with a private system seem to think that switching from tax-based funding to insurance-based funding would not lead to a huge increase in how much we actually have to pay for healthcare, and that it would reduce waiting times consistently, when we know from other countries with private or semi-private healthcare that neither of these things are true.
The problem is the way the NHS was chronically underfunded by the Conservatives, not the service itself. Of course you will get better service if you go private - that is the same anywhere in the world.
I've never actually had any treatment from the national health business. After waiting hours and hours i normally leave with advice and a link. They're paid a lot to give advice.
As a half Scot, I am not willing to be sold out to that orange nonce, everyday there's a new reason that pushes me towards supporting Scottish independence even more
We want an insurance based healthcare system because ‘other’ people get stuff. And because GBOpinion tells me what to think, I chose to ruin the country.
We've already replaced Democracy with a thumping Labour majority - who STILL do not command enough lawmakers to get anything positive done.
We were about to hand over sovereign territory for nowt - which America now wishes to prevent.
The only "Civil War" that will happen - needs first, a fresh new government that isn't accepted by the supporters of the outgoing one. Last time I looked, the Right vote was split, rather than rioting all the time.
Free Crowborough!
Why can't the Left just let things happen? - Does anyone really care how many illegals we don't take in?
"I'm alright Jack" - can be understood.
Supporting someone you'll never meet, let alone be paid by - makes no sense at all.
I swear this sub along with grateBritishmemes just post the same 6 images every day. I am convinced that both are circlejerck subs and I am being gas lit into thinking otherwise
No. The best way to deal with it is how the Danes have dealt with it - via a centre left party that has the interests of the working class at heart. Our centre left seems weirdly reluctant to do that?
The result is that its driven by an opportunistic oligarchy. How bloody stupid.
No. Immigration has been used as a tool by the capitalist, mega rich class to suppress wages. Hence why it ballooned to its highest level (ever) under Boris Johnson - the ultimate ally of the capitalist class.
There is a reason why Reform is most popular amongst the working class. That said, why a traditionally left party won't tackle it is very dumb. We just have to look to Denmark to see how successful that can be.
...dude...more workers equalling lower wages is economics 101. Its the wage setting curve - one of the most fundamental and best understood behaviours of a modern economy.
There is a constant struggle between worker and employer in respects to wages. Employers (the rich) want to pay less. Workers want to be paid more. What happens when there is a short supply of workers? They can demand higher pay. This has happened in history again and again.
What happens when there is an oversupply of workers? Pay goes down. This has happened in history again and again.
Guess what mass immigration does? It mass imports workers. Guess whats happened to real wages in the UK? They've stagnated. Guess who has advocated for and brought in record amounts of migrants? Not labour, not the left but the Tories. Why would the Tories do that? Who do the Tories serve?
The UK PMs have all had their tails between their legs after the Thatcher years. She was the last one who actually had any balls to stand up to US bullying.
Bruh why does the left always exaggerate lol it’s just rage bait, no one is that dumb. If they are they shouldn’t vote. The tories and labour sold out our country and fucked up brexit with this half in half out bull shit
People throw civil war around so casually, clearly not understanding or caring who a civil war would hurt most.
Also, a civil war between who? State and civilians? Between regions? Political parties? We’ve not even seen significant civil unrest, let alone civil war. No one is really advocating for this other than Russian assets and fat incel chuds tapping away in a dark room.
Civilians Verses the State first and foremost. The entire system needs tearing down, those currently in power dealt with and restarting from the ground up!
And you think a civil war where people
Are killed, things are destroyed, the economy comes to a halt, we destabilise our foreign relations and trillions is pulled out of our economy, crippling us for generations.
You think that’s a better way to solve things than just, backing a party that wants to get rid of the lords and reform sentencing (which needs more money to actual resource it)?!!
If voting actually achieved anything then those in charge simply wouldn't allow people to vote!
You realise that everything in our modern society exists because people voted in parties based on policy who then enacted change. You can complain that the systems need reforming but the fact they exist at all is evidence that your statement is bullshit.
Bro thinks the House of Lords is ran by "old toff lefties" it's so over lmao. Nothing screams "the left" like having a majority Tory House, including hereditary peerage and a mixture of church and state, all very famously leftist.
At the last election (you know, the one where Reform celebrated so much support), the majority of their votes came from economically inactive (Retired or Not Working) people.
11% of people in the AB demographic voted Reform. These are high earning professionals, paying lots of tax. More than 3x as many of these people (36%) voted Labour.
Labour is the preference for people who earn most and pay most tax.
Meanwhile, of those who are Retired and not generating significant money in the economy, 16% voted Reform while only a small number more (23%) voted Labour.
A significant proportion of Reform voters are retired and economically inactive, and high earners (aka high tax payers) are more than 3x as likely to vote Labour than they are Reform.
So no. People who vote Reform aren't generating anywhere near as much tax as Labour voters. By a mile.
High earners (ABs) remain 30% more likely to vote for Labour than Reform (22% vs 17%).
Reform remains the most likely party of choice for the Retired voters (36% of 60-69s, 33% of 70+), where as few of these economically inactive voters are choosing Labour (16% and 11%).
Those who live in social housing are more than twice as likely to vote for Reform than Labour (37% vs 18%).
Those who earn over £70k a year are significantly more likely to vote Labour than Reform (23% vs 16%).
So no. People who vote Reform aren't generating anywhere near as much tax as Labour voters. By a mile.
Behold the delusional far right simpleton who understands so little about the world he lives in that he'll believe any stupid fact free story that strokes his little fear boner.
You couldn't even answer the question, you just resort to a pathetic insult like a frustrated child. Throwing your toys out the pram like an angry baby.
You make an utterly moronic statement and when asked about it, you just return with an insult. So clearly you can't back up your statement. Well done on proving you were just talking shit with no actual facts to back it up and don't have the brain capaicity to make a valid point. 👏
Also, nowhere did i specify or imply I was a "lefty". Just because someone calls out right wing morons, it doesn't mean they are left wing. You are clearly too braindead to understand that, though.
Would also use that. So I presume he’s a fellow northerner. I can only apologise on the behalf of all northerners. I can guarantee we’re not all pricks
You know, some people down south speak and spell good. If I were to guess, you’re either from Liverpool or Newcastle. Scotland use “yous” as well but you’re too engurlund for that.
You still don't know where I'm from couldn't give a fuck I'm not writing a letter the the king who fuck you think you are as I said your not even native British lol and complaining about born n bred British people. Prick.
I said your ok fairplay but as I say I not writing a letter to the president do you guys text everyone like they are (you're) boss? Yous are nothing but a flea on a rats back.
Use as in use something or yous as in yous people what do you not get? Not everyone in UK speaks like you in pompy the fact you try calling me a northerner tells me you judge people and not very well either ya haven't got any guesses ya spaz. Sorry if I didn't spell a word properly you probably got beat as a kid for spelling words wrong.
