Like imagine you're almost on the breadline already and then your bills go up 20%. Incredible shortages of essential staff everywhere. Delivery drivers nowhere to be seen. You go into any cafe now and there's staff shortages everywhere. Thanks Brexit! What a wonderful idea that was.

Based on my knowledge of British politics, I assume somehow everyone will keep voting for Tories while Labour attacks anyone inside their own party who actually gives a fuck about the working class. It's the classic problem where the right wing accepts no responsibility and the left wing assumes some responsibility, so ultimately the right wins out almost every time. That whole time Jeremy Corbyn was being lampooned as a jew-hater for checks notes not dealing with the anti-semitism enquiry as effectively as he should, we had Boris Johnson showing genuine, unashamed contempt for jews, black people, women, immigrants and quite literally every kind of person who isn't a member of the white Oxbridge fraternity.

Not saying brexit was a good idea, but other factors may be at play here. its the mandates causing supply chain bottlenecks because of insufficient workers anywhere. And massive government spending causing rapid inflation. but since it goes against the orthodoxy to say so, youll be hard pressed to get an ideologue to even consider these as an option. itll get worse before it improves, particularly because those on the left with some power will double down rather than consider all possibilities. --- It's obvious all religions are fundamentally true. <cite>pure_temper posted [p:959368360] in It's fucki...
