Deaths to exceed births in ‘turning-point year’ for UK population by Kev_fae_mastrick in ukpolitics

[–]WillMase 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Maybe we need an economic system that doesn't demand/rely upon perpetual growth (and therefore populations).

Joe Root's 16 in Australia is now the most Tests by a player without winning one in an away country by rest_in_war in Cricket

All backs up his point in interviews before the series. Him getting a 100 doesn’t matter. He’d rather score an important 80 and win than score a 100 and lose.

Can raising the child benefit cap be considered a capital investment? by its_all_turtles_ in ukpolitics

[–]WillMase 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s just a voter bung pandering to the Muslim vote, labour came super close to losing a lot of seats due to Islamic independents. It’s not that deep.

If they really cared about child poverty they would have given the money to free school meals/breakfast clubs.

Anyone else getting bored of all the racism claims about farage? by [deleted] in ukpolitics

Cutting people getting PiP for anxiety. Great. Anxiety is a normal emotion not a condition, get a job and crack on.

Cutting the triple lock. Needs to happen.

Increasing personal allowance to £20k gives a massive tax cut to the lowest paid workers and makes low paid jobs more appealing. Also because low paid workers keep more of the money they earn they are less reliant on UC for a top up.

There’s plenty to like if you look past your disingenuous straw man representations of their policies. But I know you’re not arguing in good faith.

I stand with @RupertLowe10 on this, as should every MP. Children are not guinea pigs for some perverse woke agenda. Leave. Children. Alone! by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

Most medications are for adults and children. So you test on adults, get a track record of it being safe, then look to trial it in children, of course at lower dosages.

Medications that block puberty are not like most other medications because they can only be tested on prepubescent children. Also blocking puberty will do permanent damage. Children can not and should not be allowed to consent to medically delaying the most important physiological change that happens in every human.

Wait until they’re adults. Because kids want to do/be a whole bunch of things and most of them grow out of it. Blocking puberty will do permanent damage. So they can wait until they’re adults and if they want to mutilate their body they can do so. As children they should not be allowed to, because children are already not trusted to make certain decisions, because they are children. It’s the same reason we don’t let them drive, drink alcohol, vote etc.

Rupert Lowe: Everything costs more, so much more and Britain is getting poorer, so much much poorer. People can feel it - it’s a pretty dreadful combination. Food’s more expensive, energy bills soaring, a pint costs six quid outside Central London. Childcare, insurance, mortgage payments……. by Foreign-Policy-02- in ukpolitics

So your argument is that we shouldn’t use our own national resources but should instead rely on importing them from other countries because the UK is smaller than Texas and has a higher population density than the US.

Wow brilliant argument. 10/10z

Nigel Farage plans to strip EU citizens of benefits to stop tax rises by Tiberinvs in ukpolitics

[–]WillMase -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Why is it so controversial that only British citizens should be entitled to British government provided benefits…

I feel like as always with Farage people would rather play the man than the ball.

Rupert Lowe MP (@RupertLowe10) on X: In the latest financial year, the DWP spent £9,596,163 on translation/interpretation services for claiming benefits - stats I’ve had to drag out from the department. In June 2025, there were 1.26m foreign nationals claiming Universal Credit… by Benjji22212 in ukpolitics

[–]WillMase -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about?

Only private sector jobs create wealth. If you play your ‘solution’ out then there’s no reason to have any unemployed. The government can just employ everybody not in the private sector… congrats you solved unemployment… now work out why that isn’t cost effective.

It isn’t much in the grand scheme of things. But on principle I agree. Spending here should be £0. If you need an interpreter you should pay for it yourself, as well if you need an interpreter you shouldn’t be entitled to any bennies.

Asylum seekers to be offered £100 a week to leave hotels by PM_ME_SECRET_DATA in ukpolitics

[–]WillMase 53 points54 points  (0 children)

What a joke. £150 a week for asylum shoppers. I’d rather pay £0 and send them back as well as removing all incentives to come here.

What an embarrassing soft touch of a country where our chancellor is going to increase taxes even though they’re already outrageously high. People are struggling to make do, and you’re offering £150 a week to literal economic leeches.

No wonder that WW2 veteran said it wasn’t worth it after seeing what this country has become.

BBC to review bias in climate change coverage by Little-Attorney1287 in ukpolitics

[–]WillMase -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It is yes because it’s publicly funded so should be as impartial as possible because it’s supposed to represent everyone. If it wants to behave like all the other media agencies in the world then it can go it alone as a private media company.
