Can't wait for the racists who cause this mess, so proud of themselves for spewing vile racist shite towards another human being, suddenly trying to justify how it's everyone else's fault they can't see a doctor or get an operation.
It'll always be someone else's fault. If they somehow manage to "solve" the migration crisis (as they see it) and remove all the foreigners, it'll then become the benefit scroungers or the disabled or the LGBTQ+ community or the academics or the creative or people who wear glasses etc etc etc.
Their rhetoric will always point the finger at "the other"
They are already moving onto people with mental health problems like spectrum disorders. After that they will have people who are physically disabled and, as always, women.
They will never run out of 'others' to blame. It's better to confront them on the economy, which there is only one of and is already getting destroyed by policies they want to extend.
Absolutely Farage has already been banging on about gay marriage saying no-one was asked we need a vote etc, the fact is when it came in no one gave a fuck because it wasn't a big deal, so why should it be now just because some millionaire masquerading as working class says so?
Plot twist, it's actually the resident doctors who can't get jobs due to the UK brain draining other countries' health workers
My 15-year old cousin at christmas: "are you voting reform? 'When in doubt, cast them out!'"
His news comes from tiktok. He is voting for the fascists because someone rhymed a slogan at him.
He also puts on an 'aard maan East London accent to make himself look more local. Visually, he'd be the first against the wall in Farage's britain.
I'd understand if he was 20/30 something desperate for a job by any means, spouting that nonsense.
But he's a kid, living like a prince whilst his parent's sweat to buy him new Nike shoes every other month, and he's still charmed by that side
“Are you racist now? Then I’m throwing away the presents I bought for you. When in doubt, cast them out, right?”
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
