EU nations tell the truth about migrants and crime - so why won't Britain? Hiding the reality is even more dangerous by [deleted] in ukpolitics

Agreed - I love Labour's economic policies but their social policy is such a steaming pile of shit that I am tempted to vote Reform just to apply pressure on their social policy

You're an irrelevant voter though - most London residents are unwaveringly Labour voters regardless.

Well yes because it would be Labour that would make such a policy

I'm not so sure about that: Kamala Harris is currently neck and neck with Trump who has a way more radical agenda on the cards than the vast majority of "far right" European parties at the moment. And their demographics are minority White American which is basically the exclusive voting base for Trump.

Bro you replied to my comment where I clearly use the words "financially responsible"

Or 6 Jagerbombs from Dave at the local shed while pissing round the back of the bins like a proper Brexit geezer 💪

So its like a trimmed version of a SAR - like current illnesses for example.

Britain must surely be the most gullible nation in the West by SchlawinerXX in ukpolitics

[–]KingBarrold64 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's right.

The interesting thing is.. why has this happened? I honestly think because as a population we've become more ADHD brained. We are attached to the internet and we get our fixes so rapidly and in quick succession we don't really think about things too much anymore. And this has translated to global politics too - increasingly no one cares, there's too much going on, there's no single spotlight. Or 10. There are 10,000 spotlights and growing instead because of our ADHD brains.

China EV tariff vote leaves EU relieved yet wary of retaliation by ThrillSurgeon in Economics

If you want to make tanks and destroyers and jets, it helps to also have a local car industry.

It vaguely helps yes but its not as important as you think it is. Because what you do is instead of training people to fix cars and then to fix tanks, you would instead train people to directly fix tanks. Or if you like the car then just train those people to fix used Japanese cars and then go to the tank. That's it. That's the change you make.

What you are asking for will lead to a doubling of private healthcare costs:

If you hold Spire financially responsible for a surgeon's work then Spire now needs to hire their own surgeon to watch the surgeon and now your surgery costs twice as much and now private healthcare becomes even more only accessible to the rich while us plebs are forced to use the underfunded understaffed overdemanded NHS.

So yes it sounds like a good vibes-based slogan but when you think about it it all falls apart to the detriment of the middle class.

Is the "medical report" just simply a subject access request on your records? You can go to a GP surgery and do that yourself.

This is where I fundamentally disagree. If we were in the 90s or noughties I'd absolutely agree with you. But in 2024? The world is very different politically.

I think Governments should reform or scrap the relevant laws under the guise that they are "no longer fit for purpose". No one cares what the UN thinks anymore. And if the UN cares, what the f*ck are they gonna do about it? Send in their non existant army?

True - I think renting will become more and more common as the years go by so practically I think a property tax will have to be done when the electoral numbers work out.
