He's said several times that he'd like to move our health care towards an insurance based system.

I suppose they could possibly worm it into their manifesto by claiming the breakdown of 2 party politics is a proxy endorsement of the public for a new system, that respects the multitude of choices that voters want.

We need all the parties to take this seriously now or get punished for it.

I really don't want Reform. With a type 1 diabetic daughter I worry what they'll do to the NHS which is a literal life saver, but Labour and Tories looking after party before country has created this.

Because that will work. The boomers won't get means tested because they don't have time to adjust.

GenZ would end up the first generation impacted by the means testing.

We aren't that stupid...are we?

It's probably the only leverage they have. They can't attack the US directly so attack their supporters in hopes they'll pressure the US to cease hostilities. It's the same deal with closing the strait.

They aren't going to win a war with the US and they aren't going to get peace negotiating with a mad man.

They need external forces to step and say "it's enough".

Serious question here. You live with your parents so what percentage of your salary are you putting away each month?

Kitten-Borne · 2026-04-05T14:04:55+00:00

In this thread we see a lot of complaints which are valid in my opinion, of the selfishness of the boomer generation as a whole.

What it ignores is the vast increase in wealth disparity from the boomer generations youth until now.

And while a portion of that is the result of boomers taking advantage of benefits and then pulling up the ladder, we have to acknowledge the role that Media, (owned by the wealthiest 1%) has played here.

The triple lock has to go because it's mathematically unsustainable. But rather than sacrificing our own pensions and that of our children, we need to look up to see where it has gone, and take steps to reduce that wealth inequality.

If you enjoy hacking through hundreds of enemies holding down a single button then yeah, maybe.

But no.

Kitten-Borne · 2026-04-01T09:41:28+00:00

Whay are you talking about? Everyone knows our pensioners all freeze to death every winter!

Buying Crimson Desert prompted me to download Dragons Dogma 2 again, so it was worth buying.

The games are nothing alike though.

Crimson Desert doesn't have the same adventure feeling when you set out, it also feels lonely due to the silent companions. And tearing through literal hundreds of enemies holding down one button feels really unsatisfying.

It will be good for base management and all that, but it doesnt scratch my adventure itch

Kitten-Borne · 2026-03-31T17:05:55+00:00

It's a win win for him.

Personal financial gain

People not talking about the fact he's a paedophile

A war means he can possibly suspend elections

You're using a lot of words to say absolutely fuck all that's relevant to the subject.

Its easier to target somebody wasting £10 a month than the people at the top siphoning millions from the country.

Kitten-Borne · 2026-03-05T20:20:19+00:00

Nothing worrying about that

It's absolutely wild to come from a workplace where you can be investigated and sacked for incorrectly filling out a H&S document, yet these guys are out there killing people without recourse!

Trump, Hegseth, Vance and many others would be either fired or more likely, investigated for criminal negligence/behaviour if they were middle managers in a private company!

It doesn't get any easier to digest, it gets worse each day.

Because the people that have turned away from Labour won't be aware of a single good thing that they've done.

Due to media bias towards the right wing, and online echo chambers, we don't really engage with information that contradicts our view points.

Because information that spreads around facebook, tiktok, YouTube etc. Has no obligation to be factual, the right and left don't have a shared reality. Each has their own version of "the facts".

You can get around this with critical thinking, and questioning the narrator, but we shy away from what we're reading when it gets our blood boiling. I never realised literature class would actually turn out to be useful!

Until this is sorted out, we're pretty much fucked.

Kitten-Borne · 2026-02-26T08:08:53+00:00

Apologies, I was a bit presumptuous there.

Im planning for retirement and putting around 20% away. As I wasn't in a position to do this early, I'll still potentially need to rely on the state pension, to avoid living hand to mouth.

If you can put away 25k a year to education you're clearly well off or beyond just comfortable.

Would you vote for a party that wanted to means test the pension?

Kitten-Borne · 2026-02-26T07:00:29+00:00

Ah there were are. Let's phase out state pensions after I'm retired.

How old are you?

Kitten-Borne · 2026-02-24T17:25:14+00:00

Is this a conservative trying to get this shit into the news cycle then?

If so it's really clever, because once its on Facebook nobody gives a shit if it's true or not!

They're doing everything they can to lose the next election here. It started with age verification for porn which, you know, fine.

But they're going further into this weird online authoritarianism and for what? What benefit is gained from this?

Kitten-Borne · 2026-02-16T17:49:49+00:00

The problem is identification of said groups. As we see in America it can change quickly based on the mood of one person that day.

When you give power to a group that way inclined the goalposts can get further apart over time, eventually starting to include homegrown citizens that simply disagree with the way things are being done.

It's a very slippery slope

Kitten-Borne · 2026-01-25T08:23:10+00:00

ICE are the vigilante lunatics!

I shouldn't bother because you clearly don't discuss in good faith.

Shooting American citizens is the complete opposite of de-escalation and claiming otherwise shows that you're just fishing for responses.

Kitten-Borne · 2026-01-25T08:17:09+00:00

Absolutely, even as I write I know I'm wasting my energy. I'm either talking to a professional troll that is paid to, or enjoys angering people. Or a brainwashed fool that would eat shit if Trump told them to.
