"MPs vote to kill people"

Gotta hit that 5% budget for NATO somehow kermit-pain

Funny thing is terf island doesn't even need that, they can literally create more money to pay for both things, the central bank can issue unlimited pounds. But they'd rather simultaneously fund war and murder people with disabilities than only fund war.

These are the famous Western values that we've been hearing so much about.

Thr IRA did nothing wrong Br*tish cars deserved worse unlimited genocide upon the royal family and their collaborators.

Dame Meg Hillier, who chairs the Treasury select committee and was a originally a key rebel, said “divided parties don’t hold power” and that claimed that if Labour members want to see their values played out in this country “we need to vote for this today”.

We need unity and power so we can ram through more ghoulshit policies.

I'm not kidding when I say this, kill these people.

we should actually have a fawkes emote

[-] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 day ago

would be a little weird to have an emote of a guy who tried (badly) to assassinate a king in order to put a different monarch on the throne on a communist forum

[-] jack@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

we trump-drenched only volcel-kamala have alex-karma emotes social-democracy of treatler communist obama heroes jfk-gaming

[-] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 day ago

ok, fair point

holy shit you have a lot of emotes

[-] LeonTreatsky@hexbear.net 30 points 2 days ago

At this point it seems like we're just figuring out new ways to cull the disabled every 5 years.

[-] onwardknave@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago

The rich could spit in our faces and libs would thank them for rain.

[-] WrongOnTheInternet@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago

Can't wait to vote these tories out

[-] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 36 points 2 days ago

Surely, with their precious genocide money, they can afford services... oh wait, they're just evil all round

[-] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 42 points 2 days ago

the weirdest part of the UK is that it's seemingly the most dysfunctional country currently. Like, they had some of the biggest tech and industrial headstarts you can imagine, and somehow they managed to learn fuck all. The second their empire stopped sending them tribute, their country began a slow collapse, which we're now seeing accelerate. I genuinely struggle to think of a worse example of how to run a country, and it's seemingly done for no reason. The people who are destroying the country aren't even making out like bandits, like we saw in Russia after the murder of the Soviet Union, but is done entirely for ideological reasons. And when the ideology runs into the simple material fact that their thinking is plainly wrong, they just double down and do more of the same. It's maddening!

because we're run by the boys from st noncingtons school for boys and men which costs 2 billion pounds a semester which for some reason isn't friendly to those without

[-] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

yeah but that's my point. You can show the St. Noncingtons School for Boys and Men the numbers that prove that their way of doing things is obviously not working. But even when shown the data, they just double and triple down to a degree that I struggle to fathom. And I hope that you guys figure out a way to make your leaders understand it soon, since it seems my prime minister is hellbent on following in your footsteps (I believe my country is currently where you guys were in 2014, so things aren't looking good).

[-] shath@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

because it works for them

If imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, it stands to reason that if you take away the imperialism it’s no bueno

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 days ago

That's not what "imperialism" in the context of "imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism" means. Britain is still doing imperialism/in the imperialist stage of capitalism, it just doesn't have an "empire" in the same sense as the Romans had an empire.

[-] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

I was being glib

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago

Why would they learn anything when they had headstarts? Learning is for backward countries, who have a choice to learn or perish.

[-] HamManBad@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

I would argue that Spain was even worse post-empire but it doubt the UK has hit rock bottom yet

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago

On Monday (1 July), the government confirmed that cuts will only impact new disability benefit claimants, while current claimants will be protected.

Shit is very bad but at least it will only affect new claims. I can see a court case happening down the line to determine what a "current claimant" really is when they fuck with some people though.

[-] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 2 days ago

fingers crossed it could be killed at third stage

[-] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Bosses do this with union contracts too, to create tiers with differing interests, splitting and dissipating the opposition

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah the ghouls in charge are basically running anti-leftist organising tactics. They have been doing so since the antizionism purges.

Well that's a new and terrible thing to worry about. I hadn't thought of that.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

On the plus side the court tends to come down against the government on benefits really often. I expect there will be some fuckery at some point and then the court will come down against the gov for it.

[-] Jacobo_Villa_Lobos@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago

Right in lockstep with its imperial handler!

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 28 points 2 days ago

Looks like this type of thing will be happening all over

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

doomjak: “I just want a job.”

porky-happy: “Sorry kiddo, can’t help ya. I only hire ‘the best’ and I’m not even hiring anymore!”

doomjak: “Please, I can’t work. Anything so I don’t die?”

porky-happy: “Sorry kiddo, but that’s so undignified. Not to mention that ‘free stuff’ comes from stealing from hard workers like me! So no benefits, that would be stealing!”

[-] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago

Guy Fawkes did nothing wrong

He failed, that's one wrong.

We need a Guy Fawkes #2.

Looks like the whip was cracked https://www.theyworkforyou.com/divisions/pw-2025-07-01-248-commons

When Suella “homelessness is a lifestyle choice” Braverman votes ‘no’ you have to question what you’re doing surely.

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Ok porky, one less SCARY government program scaring all the jobs away. Now you’ll get in the hiring mood again, right?

Right?
