And how much more self-determination are you enjoying this week vs last?
Meanwhile, I’m in a Tory safe seat with one of the most rotten MPs in the house. Every single election, my vote against them doesn’t do squat, thanks to the fit-up that is FPTP. And what about the “vast unelected government” that is our own UK civil service, which will no doubt grow even larger as we re-onshore the bureaucracy. Well, at least until the hard-right Tories slash public spending to the core, turning the UK into their low-tax haven for the super-rich—i.e. the same unelected elite who engineered this whole scam in the first place.
Sucker.

- hhas01 7y agoI’m a Scot living “Oop North” for over a decade, and very much aware of the attitudes round here. Believe me, I was never a fan of provincialist Scotland and utterly despise the huge separatist chip on its shoulder and everything that stands for, so to see the English fall for the very same scam really jams in my craw. Honestly, the sooner that Brits get to experience the same standard of living that Chinese factory workers now enjoy†, the sooner they’ll drink a big cup of STFU and realize just how unfairly blessed before now they really were. No sympathies for them that got us into it; I only feel bad for t’kids. -- † And, having come from grinding rural poverty, is still a step up for them.
