Detournement Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Putting aside the creeping shadow of fascism it's quite funny that the UK armed forces got their arses handed to them in Basra and Helmand yet everyone still has to pretend they are extremely competent.

In the first Cameron years there were huge anti austerity protests, student protests and the riots. Since then people have either had their brain rotted by Instagram or been neutered by Twitter (or P&B). The government told us not to see our families and most people did it. They already have complete control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm getting too cynical in my old age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) I don't mean to disparage people on here (I do a bit) but there is an issue in Britain of people moaning about how we as a collective population do nothing to resist or protest this government who won't do anything bar occasionally vote. At the same time I kinda get it since thousands of people marched, smashed shit up and organised and nothing happened. It is demoralising. Seeing the waves of ostensibly left liberal voters turn against them as well didn't help. Edited October 3, 2021 by NotThePars 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm inclined to agree but then most folk will remember how the Met responded to women protesting against an off duty cop kidnapping, raping and murdering a lone female. Unless you're the Duchess of Cambridge of course. Speaking of our head of state and her tribe, not content with funding the shielding of sex offenders I see the Crown Estate has been laundering money for the Azerbaijani dictator. Joke country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Is this guy suggesting killing your children or putting them up for adoption if money becomes an issue following the cut in universal credit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume he means not have any more kids rather than actually send them to the workhouses but given he's a Tory, you never know. If you can't feed 'em don't breed 'em was the old saying. Not very joined up thinking when we have a demographic problem on the horizon that Covid has singularly failed to solve. Maybe the gas price rise will freeze another few over the the winter. Not good Tory voting (well off) OAP's obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDoddyKane Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) I dont believe theres a demographic problem I think the opposite, population naturally reducing should be allowed to, its good for a variety of reasons, climate change and resources wise for example. Its not a demographic problem its a technology problem and the lack of investment in a plan to use technology to solve a lot of those same issues rather than thinking a pyramid scheme of ever increasing populations is the answer Edited October 4, 2021 by BigDoddyKane 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Wilkos Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Stupid benefit scroungers shit out as many kids as they can to top up their "wage" while the intelligentsia are having less kids. You can already see the effect this is having on the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Boris Johnson has 6 and Jacob Rees-Mogg also has 6. Maybe they're not intelligentsia, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Been expecting eugenics to make a big comeback for a while now. With (at minimum) the best part of an unopposed decade to dwell on their secret masturbatory fantasies, you can expect the Tories to make this an actual talking point in the press at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing the waves of ostensibly left liberal voters turn against them as well didn't help. Just say there was a mass movement, what could it accomplish? Short of an armed takeover and ruling by coercion, the best outcome would be to force an election. Against Keith.
