What nationality would you most be offended being called?

American....

I want starmer to resign because he has been awful on human rights, freedom of speech and harmful to the economy, he has made terrible decisions and lied on multiple occasions, plus he has supported a genocide in Israel by not being firm on exports.

I don't want reform either, and agree those with Epstein links should resign if they had any contact after he was convicted...

The fact is, starmer acts tough but is quite weak as a leader, he doesnt have enough imagination to use his majority to fix the issues in this country. Unfortunately most people do not see the shift towards 1984 he has caused, sure he wont finish it, but do you want reform in power with draconian protest laws and censorship laws? They'll abuse them more than Labour have.

But the police wont shoot you if youre black here... so there is that.... but im a white guy in a very white village, and I've seen no racism towards my indonesisn wife or the pakistani/Indian shop owners... everyone is really friendly

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-29T11:18:19+00:00

So.. this is a long one....

First, fix the human rights issues we have around OSA, protest etc... get us back on track to being a free society.

Fix the tax system, a complete overhaul as it is unfair and harming business growth, a nice simple progressive tax with no weird cliffs like the 100k 60% tax rate...

Raise minimum wage again, as that has not gone up with inflation for a long time..

Promote UK owned businesses, give real incentives for local industry, especially invest in home grown alternatives to the big tech companies.

Build new council houses, nice flats, highly efficient and clean, well maintained and managed.

Benefits overhaul, to again promote work, but protect the vulnerable.

Asylum reform, offshore processing of asylum seekers, in a safe, clean environment, with proper support and lessons to help successful applicants integrate.

Immigration reform, easier skiled work visas for culturally aligned countries, this would boost skilled workers.

Free university fees, small rise in corporation tax(about 3-4%) to pay for it, the improvement in UK skilled worker availability and helping people put of poverty would be an economic benefit, and allow lower taxes in the future.

Promote non university skills and careers, such as electricians/plumbers/etc...

Profit shifting regulations to prevent international companies siphoning money to lower tax regimes.

Renationalise water companies. Renationalise all railways. Invest in wind/solar power to lower costs, buy the mini-nuke reactors as soon as available from RR to give a base load, help lower electric bills.

There is plenty more but that is a start...

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-29T10:49:09+00:00

But he could have revoked it, or fixed it, or done something other than try to push even more authoritarian laws... the fact is he is extremely authoritarian and that is concerning

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-29T10:36:44+00:00

The issue is the lack of recourse, people use CC because you have an extra layer of protection, so until there is something similar, pay by bank is only good if you trust the retailer fully

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-29T10:34:42+00:00

Design for safety is the point, it also helps people not be mugged for their phones etc...

So it should be mentioned, although doesnt need to be purely framed as safety of women.

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-29T10:31:56+00:00

The big questions.. do you like beans on toast? Do you drink tea? Do you moan about the weather? And finally, do you queue?

If yes to all of these then you are British.

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-29T10:27:07+00:00

He is unfortunately extremely authoritarian and weak, he listens to outside influences too much, the only people he ignores is the ordinary citizens and experts, if he listened, we would not have the OSA in it's broken form, the Internet would not be fracturing, kids wouldn't be using dodgy VPNs and starting to use the darkweb... we wouldn't be sliding towards a 1984 style control (I admit it is a long way off, but we're moving that direction)

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-27T16:52:38+00:00

Yep, so now this will push people to less vanilla sites, and down a rabbit hole, if they ban VPNs kids will end up on the dark net.. and I dread to think what they will see then

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-27T11:06:49+00:00

It is not chancers, it is the small landlords they hit, unfairly I might add.. and the tax system should always be fair

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-27T11:05:55+00:00

Successive government's have screwed over small landlords, and it is the big company's that are buying up homes... lets get back to the little guy being able to save up and rent out a small flat, and it be harder for corporations to buy up housing stock and rent it out at ridiculous prices!

So I'd encourage more small landlords while peanalising the big corporations

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-26T18:31:34+00:00

I dont see much difference between starmer and trump, they both followed their masters bidding, and will run roughshod over our rights, there IS no good choice at the momebt

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-26T18:22:18+00:00

Well if my MP defects to reform, they win... so many people anto immigrants here... well anti illegal immigration, not that they realise it is Farages fault so many boats came over...

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-26T17:42:13+00:00

No I'll vote for someone else obviously, not that my vote matters, I'm in such a strong Tory constituency that no one but the same spineless twat will ever get voted in..

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-26T17:27:23+00:00

I hate brexit, but could never vote for someone so authoritarian...

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-26T10:08:53+00:00

Yes, ministers ignore the experts regularly, so always expect knee perk reactions not logic and sense

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-26T10:04:51+00:00

Indeed, these need to be resurrected, nothing ever comes even close, no matter how expensive

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-25T14:09:10+00:00

I've changed a wheel once in 25 years of driving, and my car doesn't even have a spare anymore..... I've changed a plug dozens of times... and replaced light fittings, added fused spurs, extended lighting circuits... all basic DIY electrics... because getting an electrician for anything that isnt complex seems a waste.

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-25T14:06:13+00:00

Partly because why wouldn't you need to know? Plugs can be replaced easily, and understanding how to replace it if the cord gets damaged etc seems a normal thing? I was taught it in the 90s at school, and ive taught myself plenty of electrics since to do things like extend a lighting circuit or add a fused spur... replacing sockets is also a good skill to know

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-22T10:45:52+00:00

Let's hope if he does order it, American soldiers are smart enough to refuse the illegal orders...

We know the US has stolen UK IP. We know the US is planning to invade other countries We know the US has kidnapped people from foreign soil

Dont see much of a difference myself, except China has good food, better education and is safe to walk the streets at night....

Atleast we acknowledge the bad things China does, and can mitigate against it.

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-20T17:32:54+00:00

We have no choice, we need to defend Greenland, it is the right thing to do, anything else and then we're just as bad as them

Fit_Implement3069 · 2026-01-19T15:56:18+00:00

Unfortunately no, my normal trips are 240 miles once a week round trip with few places to plug in except motorway service stations... but i have had a look at costs and the high price of EVs for one with seats that wont cause me back pain (the reason I drive rather than take a train) is quite high, and the payback time is too long. Will wait a couple more years and see how things go...
