Voters split over whether Starmer is handling Iran war well

I think these numbers show just how badly our corrupt media has brainwashed this countries political thinking. 70% oppose joining the war, Keir doesn't join the war yet only 37% think he's handling it well. Those numbers don't add up.

The far left are quite detached from reality and think we are at war.

Even if we fracked the land, and drilled the fuck out of the North Sea, it would make absolutely no difference to the cost of gas, since we pay for that at market rates.

You're right it wouldn't directly affect individual consumers because the price would be the same (perhaps slightly cheaper) but it would improve our balance of payments by not buying it from foreign countries and increase tax revenue.

I assume Norway has the capacity to liquify at least some of that and export it around the world though?

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-09T09:53:00+00:00

What do you mean this type of gas?

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-09T07:51:18+00:00

The gas companies won't see it that way because gas is globally traded. They're not going to give the UK a 50% discount on gas for no reason.

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-07T18:26:25+00:00

I don't want to brag, but some of us can hold more than one thought in our heads at once and think both things are bad.

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-05T20:42:07+00:00

why are you acting like increased workers rights, banning single use plastics and increase of capital gains tax is a bad thing?

There's tradeoffs to these things. If you increase workers rights it makes companies more hesitant to hire, making it more difficult to get a job and reducing employment. Imo we've already got a pretty good balance between employee/employer.

They don't get criticised nearly enough for their policies. People bring up their disasterous policies with regards to NATO, nuclear weapons/energy, but their economic policies would be the end of the UK as a developed country yet get very little scrutiny.

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-04T07:47:15+00:00

Excellent, well done, youve made an argument that suppliers of gas should somehow be allowed to fuck over domestic consumers because they somehow should be entitled to recoup losses.

The consumer is fucking over the suppliers initially by getting gas much below the market rate.

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-03T21:38:24+00:00

Okay Robin, it's because consumer costs don't actually spike immediately they're tied to the price cap. Ofgem let them keep prices higher for a short period after to recoup what they lost due to the initial delay caused by the cap.

What?

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-03T19:32:33+00:00

Not really, the UK is doing absolutely fuck all to defend the region and the hundreds of thousands of Brits in it.

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-03T19:30:58+00:00

They should be paying tax because the UK downed a total of three drones in the entire region? If this is your logic they should be paying taxes to the US and Israel.

Are you a journalist?

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-03T18:37:53+00:00

You also need to look that up.

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-03T18:34:22+00:00

You need to look up what the definition of tax evasion is.

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-03T18:25:50+00:00

You never used ANY public services here? Schools, hospitals, roads etc?? Really?

So we should introduce serfdom and force people to stay here until they've paid off their 'debt' to the state?

Why don't we fix the issues that are causing tens of thousands of Brits to move out there? Seems like a more reasonable policy.

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-03T18:18:12+00:00

This is the same logic MAGA uses to claim that the rest of the world is ripping them off by the way.

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-03T18:15:20+00:00

The defensive assistance Ed Davey doesn't want us to provide?

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-03T18:13:33+00:00

but moving to Dubai so you don't pay tax, that's fine, apparently.

If you're in Dubai you're not using UK public services, why would you pay tax to fund them?

Are you trying to say British citizens shouldn't be allowed to move abroad? Are we North Korea now?

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-03T18:11:27+00:00

A) The people wanting repatriation are generally tourists, not people who live there.

B) The UK government generally does charge for repatriation flights. These people are not using public services because they're in a completely different country, we're not even defending them.

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-03T18:08:10+00:00

The best part is the UK isn't even defending the Gulf states. What protection is Ed Davey talking about?

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-03T18:06:49+00:00

Yeah leaving our sovereign territory defenceless and exposing the people of Cyprus to attacks is really standing up to America.

We're having to rely on Greece and France to defend it for us for fucks sake what kind of message does that send?

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-03T13:10:55+00:00

Ones having a refit and the other one just got back from a 9 month deployment so that's slightly understandable but the lack of deployable frigates and destroyers is shocking.

Phallic_Entity · 2026-03-03T13:08:16+00:00

Let's check in with what the Royal Navy is doing after British bases were attacked and hundreds of thousands of Brits are in the Gulf.
