@MadMontana @RECK0NlNG In today’s society hard work does not equal wealth. People work hard everyday in public service jobs for what is now considered a relatively low wage. You are ignorant of other people’s circumstances and can’t see beyond your own perspective/privilege.

The reason the country is on it's
arse is not because Keir Starmer was the Prime Minister for 2 years.

The country is on its arse because of the people who stupidly voted the Tories into power for 14 years straight!

[Sam @SamCKx]

The issue isn't Starmer, per se, it's the fact that we all now know, whoever is PM, unless it's some far right leader with friendly tax policies for the ultra wealthy, they will be met by a barage of misinformation and relentless online attacks: accusations they support p**dophiles & r*pists, that they jail 12,000 innocent people every year for tweeting; and all the usual misleading, manipulative BS designed to exploit people's emotions.

This won't stop until they have installed the party they want. A party that will be focussed purely on optimising the affairs of its wealthy backers, and not on the working people and families of Britain.

@DGWHUFC @gingerrtom And how…? Please explain.

[☀︎︎ 𝚊𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚊 ☽ @_murmaid]

@Topstriker98 @NorthSco1 @joseph_gellman You are the one who needs a brain. Your opinion is simply regurgitations of far right media (paid for by rich Farage supporters) and entirely inaccurate. It is clear that your opinion stems from anger, but the issue is that you’re angry at the wrong people.

[☀︎︎ 𝚊𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚊 ☽ @_murmaid]

@Topstriker98 @BxileyN @joseph_gellman And let me guess, you support Nigel Farage? The extremely wealthy politician whose rich friends would stand to gain a lot from his election. I’m sure he’s on the side of the working class !!! 🤡

[☀︎︎ 𝚊𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚊 ☽ @_murmaid]

@Topstriker98 @joseph_gellman Well I’m guessing your defensive reply means you have 0 examples. Most likely because your uninformed opinions come from highly biased (and wrong) media and internet sources.

In England, you're allowed to clear about 20 metres of silt and rubbish out of a river on your own. Anything past that needs a permit from the Environment Agency. Paul Powlesland's volunteers cleared a 250-metre stretch of the River Roding with a hired digger, which is why a barrister who hauled out 200 bags of trash is now under criminal investigation.

The Roding runs through east London. Powlesland lives on a boat moored on it, and for years he and a group of volunteers have pulled out shopping trolleys, needles, old appliances, even weapons. Kingfishers, herons and dragonflies came back to water that used to be buried under junk. This one job took 10 days and a digger that cost £1,000 to hire.

The rule that caught him is oddly specific. Under England's water rules, scooping silt off the bottom of a river the agency officially manages counts as a "flood risk activity", and the law treats that the same as building a structure in the water. Do it without a permit and the offence carries up to two years in prison. The agency says it is also looking at waste the volunteers left on the floodplain. Powlesland is an environmental lawyer who has used these exact laws to protect rivers and trees, and a conviction could cost him his licence to practise.

The agency's reasoning isn't unreasonable. Dredging done badly can push flooding onto people downstream and wreck the habitat that protected animals need, which is what the permit is meant to prevent. The 20-metre allowance is there for small jobs. And no decision to prosecute has actually been made.

While investigators were knocking on a volunteer's door within a week of his cleanup, water companies discharged raw sewage into England's rivers and seas for a combined 3.6 million hours in 2024, more than 400 years of spilling packed into a single year. Only 14% of English rivers are in good health. Between 2015 and 2025, the Environment Agency investigated water companies for pollution 11,474 times. Fifty-eight of those ended in a prosecution. For serious pollution over the last five years, the number of water companies actually taken to court and convicted is zero.

So the message comes out backwards. Spend ten days and a thousand pounds making a river cleaner and an officer turns up within the week. Pump sewage into that same river for years and the chance of seeing a courtroom is close to zero.

If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.

On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.

After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.

We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...

@Pablotommo_ My guess is that parents are just going to let their children use their accounts and therefore the restriction will be completely pointless

@newstart_2024 STEM fields are not the only fields which grow society 🤦 pretty funny that someone whose career is in the arts would say something like this ?

@ProudlyPastoral Agreed — what is bizarre is thinking that children should be productive citizens rather than have time to rest. play and be children !!
