Trump's England We have the same problem as you do. Boris Johnson is fucking teflon. Nothing sticks to him. The closest anything came to sticking to him was...ugly expensive furniture costs. Meanwhile Jeremy Corbyn's career was completely decimated and no one can tell you precisely why or how, just that it had something to do with people in his party making anti-Semitic remarks. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ...

What are conservatives in UK like? Well they don't have guns or religion, instead there's a weird obsession with "the empire", the royal family, getting violently drunk., and uh, I dunno. General yobbish behaviour. There's the same cuckitude though. Imagine working class people who's entire industries and counties have been decimated by privatisation and corporate wage theft but instead of blaming it on the old money they blame it on the polish and the muslims. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ...

Let me present the lyrics to IDLES The Village to explain:
A lot of nine fingered boys in the village They haven't got much choice in the village Model car, model wife, model village Model far, model right, model village They ain't too friendly in the village There's a tabloid frenzy in the village He's "not a racist but" in the village Gotta drive half-cut in the village Model low crime rate in the village Model race, model hate, model village Got my head kicked in in the village There's a lot of pink skin in the village "Hardest man in the world" in the village He says he's got with every girl in the village Take flight, take flight Model village I beg your pardon I don't care about your rose garden I've listened to the things you said You just sound like you're scared to death Still not in love with the village Homophobes by the tonne in the village A lot of overpriced drugs in the village A lot of half pint thugs in the village Model car, model wife, model village Model far, model right, model village I see a lot of gammon in the village I don't see a lot happen in the village Just give them an anthem and they'll sing it Still they don't know the meanings in it Just saluting flags 'cause it's British Idiot spirits think they're kindred Model low crime rate in the village Model race, model hate, model village It feels like the village is self-pillaged Still someone's making a killing Take flight, take flight Take flight Model village I beg your pardon I don't care about your rose garden I've listened to the things you said You just sound like you're scared to death I beg your pardon I don't care about your rose garden I've listened to the things you said You just sound like you're scared to death You gotta laugh as the curtain twitches And the villagers bury their riches But the village doesn't know what rich is Just snitches snitching on snitches Only one thing to do in the village Just say toodle-do to the village Toodle-fucking-do --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ...

You see pinky
After a decade of tory cuts, removal of services, ignoring a pandemic until tens of thousands died, giving the NHS the middle finger, screwing over the working class and everyone they said Brexit would help and open corruption Labour have had their chance to fix it these past few years so it's time to give the good and honest Tories a chance! PLUS! They gave France what's for recently and put the frogs in their place to protect the farmers Boris fucked over! Also Corbyn handled the racists in his party in not the best way compared to Boris's open racism, ableism, ageism, disdain for the working class etc. So.... --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

britain seems as bad as america in a lot of ways Worse in some, better in others. On one hand, our conservatives are closer to your democrats than your conservatives, in terms of social progressive issues. So tories here are still pretty ok with abortion and stuff like that, but they just want to shaft you financially for it We don't have guns, which is nice, but we do have acid attacks. We get healthcare, which is super nice, but the tories are doing their best to systematically dismantle it. We don't have religious problems so much here. But on the other hand, did you know that if someone earns like $50k a year outside london they're considered basically middle class? el oh el We have nice pubs.

divide and ruleTrue And it's even worse in the UK than the US. In the US Republicans always always get less votes. most of the population is against them. They win due to crooked election systems. In the UK, right wing idealogy is the majority. They win due to getting the most votes and widespread majority support. That's the big difference and it's terrifying. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ... Copied to Clipboard!
