The British will rise up etc - sorry, they won't.
They locked us in our houses for two years for a bad case of flu. Nobody rose up then.
We're not the people you think we are. We're cowed demoralised unconfident country hooked on free state money. Most people can't even be arsed to vote. Why would they 'rise up'.
My feeling is things need to get an awful lot worse before anything changes.
The worst Pints to Wages ratios are not in London, not even close.
The centres of the other cities have basically followed London's trajectory without the punters having anywhere near London incomes
This is not democracy at work it’s a complete erosion of national sovereignty and accountability.
I genuinely thought it was a joke at first. A guy who only arrived in the country in 2021, on a temporary student/graduate visa, with no long-term commitment to Scotland , no roots here, and apparently fundraising for his next visa just to stay… has now been elected as an MSP for the Scottish Greens in Edinburgh & Lothians East.
He can now help shape laws, spending, and policy that affect Scottish taxpayers, communities, housing, services, and culture for years while his own right to be here could be temporary.
This isn’t “diversity” or “inclusion.” This is fucking lunacy.
I predict:
Birmingham - loss
Portsmouth - loss
Blackburn - loss
Lincoln - loss
Burnley - win
Watford - loss
Norwich - loss
That's not Labour tonight. It's Tottenham next season.
It’s so funny how it’s a building full of the nation’s most habitual liars taking it in turns to tell insultingly obvious pre-written lies for 90% of its working hours, but if one of them actually dares call another one a liar then they all gasp like someone’s fired a gun
Fascinating that Green voters demanding a ban on the Grand National for animal cruelty suddenly short-circuit when you ask if they’d also ban halal and kosher slaughter.
