  • Coronavirus spiralling out of control
  • NHS more crucial than ever but do we support it? Absolutely not. Not beyond clapping in unison a dozen times
  • Tory government not fit to lead but lead they shall, forever, until the only people with any autonomy left will be 5 floppy haired t***s who all went to Eton together
  • England loses a football match and Lewis Hamilton has a hard time at the Grand Prix and this is enough motivation for half the country to start espousing KKK party talking points on social media
  • All this and more and as far as the Murdoch media empire is concerned the real problem these days is those woke young people: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9776413/US-political-pollster-FRANK-LUNTZ-warns-Britain-woke-coming.html


Jesus fuck it's enough to make you despair

What really pissed me off is the people of the UK.
Ok, not all of them, but a good majority.

Look int he comments sections of YouTube
Still people thinking the jab stops you getting Covid, even after its been well publicised that it doesn't.
Still people refusing masks, even though it's well documented that they help.
Still people bitching about their rights and freedoms because they were asked to put a bit of cloth on their face.

England was once a world power, no it's full of whining little bitches that need a good dose of bullets to shut the fuckers up.

Hell infact I remember vividly that TCwas one of the guys yelling at me when I was doom saying how bad the Tories getting an 80 seat MP majority and then dominating local elections was

He was one of those "AwkTully most UKers hate vo conservatives, they only get 40 % of the vote unlike Trump's 47%!!!! it doesn't matter who is in charge "

ignoring the fact Trump /Biden was a 2 person vote nationally while conservatives are fighting for hundreds of constituencies against dozens of other parties

Dude even defended the house of lords

Then has the gall to call me a contrarian after changing his mind to agree with me

That's because There's barely any guns here

The anti vax and people ignoring restrictions are still here

plus we have the worst knife crime rate in the world About 600 stabbings a day.

Gun violence might be low but violence isn't

That's not true at all.

3rd parties in the US don't even get 1% of the vote

Scottish Nationalist Party dominates on Scotland
Lib dems and Independents win MP seats

And even if they dont win seats they split the vote

UKIP never had 1 MP (baring one Conservative turncoat who was UKIP in name only) but they still got 10% of the vote pre Brexit

The fact that the UK largely embraces the conservative party while the US largely despises Trump is undeniable and you reveal yourself as a liar when you try to push that narrative

I disagree.
I think a few thousand bullets would help a lot. Make them rubber ones if you want to preserve life I guess, leave them bruised and unable to have children if you aim right.

thought the major issue with the way the UK election worked is you've got a fuck ton of parties but no ranked choice voting, so the winner of each local election likely only represents a small percentage of their voters.

This is also true. As I just said UKIP got 10% of the vote despite over half the population supporting Brexit

There was a push to change that but Labour and Tories united to shut it down hard

But I think you're missing the fact that a more fair vote wouldn't mean more left wing victories (Well it would for the greens) it would result in more BNP, UKIP and independent EDL parties getting more votes

I still think that would be a better system but the UK doesn't embrace conservatives BECAUSE of first past the post. It just embraces conservatives

Yeah the BNP will never get many votes they are literal Neo Nazis and never tried to hide it not that they try for many seats anymore. UKIP always did well in EU elections and yup SNP do very very well in Scotland and Northern Ireland has its own two main parties.

You underestimate how many people in the UK , England especially would support them if they thought they could win

A ton of first past the post voters who vote conservatives would put BNP or UKIP or local independent nutbag Christian party as 1 or 2 on a ranking system

I don't get how you can say that WHEN UKIP got 10% of the vote yet Brexit won.

Tons of people who supported UKIP and far right nonsense vote conservatives tactically because of 1st passed the post

And you claim 0 BNP voters do the same?

I don't buy that . The anti gay anti minority pro English enthocentrism that TC spoke about in the OP didn't start because a black dude missed a penalty a week ago.

It's been around for decades . Ever heard of Enoch Powell?

And then killed themselves with the aryan girl christmas card as well as the BNP youth adverts on there youtube channel.. yes that was a thing /facepalm.

And if First Past the post was gone and a more nuanced voting system was implemented, you would see a return of them or another party with a new name that believes the same thing doing better In elections.

I don't get why you're denying this, let alone editing out the evidence that supports it to deny it

Well USA as far as I know didn't have another big outbreak from July 4th holiday.

Wonder how UK has is spiraling out of control when we got packed beaches of people breathing on each other?
It honestly is if there never was a pandemic in most of the USA at the moment aside from a few restaurants still requiring staff to were mask.

We definitely did. People aren't getting tested as diligently anymore, but my contact tracing case load went from about five a week in March-May up to eleven a day (which is the maximum load we're ever assigned in a day; these were the same numbers I was getting at the height of it last year).
