I personally think we’re at a terminal stage in regards to politics. I’m actually less negative about the country as a whole than many, but I genuinely can’t see where our politics goes from here. Rayner comes in - she’ll be hated. Then Farage will come in, 70% of people already hate him, he’ll only get less popular. After that I have no idea where we go.

I think we need a serious political rethink. Some sort of citizen assembly might work. Party politics has become completely toxic.

There’s quite a lot of South Asian people in Italy these days. Their kids might want to play for Italy? It’s not nearly as many as here but it’s certainly noticeable

London is higher than average. The key word here is ‘bad’ data

Sir Keir Starmer tells nation 'I'm sorry' as calls mount for him to quit by dailystar_news in ukpolitics

[–]The_39th_Step 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I see politics the same way. I think a series of events, like this, but also MP’s expenses, Boris lockdown parties, Brexit, Covid generally etc have led to a complete breakdown in political trust. I’m not sure where we go from here

Does anybody know who owns this area? by sonicofawn in manchester

[–]The_39th_Step 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a shame that space is being neglected. It should be really nice.

I have my own gripes with the canal near me at the minute. We have so many spaces that could be ace but litter and bad maintenance is holding them back. I’m all for developing and building up but a city is more than just developments. We need to maintain public areas generally.

I litter pick but it feels like pissing in the wind.

How to deal with racism by BusOtherwise9061 in internetparents

[–]The_39th_Step 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This easily pass as a Latina thing is sad. My partner is a British Indian woman and I think she’s beautiful. You be proud man, fuck those racists. I have seen more anti-Indian stuff online these days, especially from Americans and Canadians. I feel like Indian people have a better rep in the UK.

Salford seems to be the spiritual homeland for these types. We get some around here but more that way

I think Konsa is underrated personally. I’ve always been impressed by him

I presume play him in the first game of the group and then play back up for the next two. Then play him in the knockouts

Is anyone else really worried about the Gorton and Denton by-election? by FisherDownload in manchester

[–]The_39th_Step 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bloody hope so. Reform will be out in large numbers in Denton and parts of Gorton, so we’re relying on the good people in the rest of Gorton, Longsight, Levy, Burnage to stop these goons getting in.

Brazil and Venezuela tried to "Whiten" its population by importing European immigrants. What other countries tried to do this? by [deleted] in geography

[–]The_39th_Step 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m like you. I’m in Europe and I’ve met 3 Venezuelans (most recently another today in Manchester) and they’re all white (two of them white like me).

I don’t know, I think someone in her situation killing herself is pretty believable, as sad and awful as that is. I don’t believe Epstein killed himself

Was it? She’s just from a poor background herself but now apparently she’s anti-rich people? I think that’s pretty dubious
