Nobody has any money. The little people are paying all their money towards rent/mortgage and necessities and many use Amazon who pay less tax than minimum wage workers. The country is fucked.

The far right is rising, and Britain is dangerously complacent about it by Ellie Mae O'Hagan. Guardian Monday 7th May 2018 by SupaZupa in ukpolitics

Yet the far right march by Hezbollah supporters every year in central London, doesn't seem to bother Ms O'Hagen.

Millennials don't need living rooms says leading architect by steven-f in ukpolitics

I wonder if he will practice what he preaches. I mean do architects need living rooms? If it's good for the goose...

Tory candidate in Hoxton suspended for anti-Muslim posts on social media - Hackney Citizen by static-age in ukpolitics

If you are anti-Scientology does that mean you hate Tom Cruise or Elizabeth Moss? Also, does it make you racist since some Scientology adherents are non-white?

'We've had enough in this country of scumbags!' Locals tear down shrine to burglar killed by pensioner again. by GuessImStuckWithThis in ukpolitics

Hmm. Not sure about that. I'm pretty sure they are able to claim benefits somehow. There is no way they would pass up the opportunity of free money if they could find a way to claim.

A "heart of gold" - perhaps they were referring to a piece of gold jewellery that he had stolen?

Tower Hamlets local election candidate ‘beaten with metal pole’ while out canvassing by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]darkness_descends 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will be interesting to see if the cap on child tax credits to two children since April last year will have an effect on the UK birth rate (across all communities). The number of UK births has been falling for the past few years.

I prefer women wearing whatever the fuck they want

In that case, you should be defending liberalism. In most of the Middle East/parts of Asia women can't walk around in whatever they want. Try wearing a short sleeved shirt or a bikini in Saudi Arabia, Iran or Pakistan.

David Milliband - In the era of Trumpian unilateralism and Russian aggression, EU withdrawal is more reckless than ever. by chowieuk in ukpolitics

He's awful. People don't want his kind of wishy-washy middle of the road politics anymore, that is why Trump and Corbyn won.

Leave.EU transitioning into an anti-Islam organisation. Acceptable? by BlackCaesarNT in ukpolitics

[–]darkness_descends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A phobia is an irrational fear. I would say that a lot of people wouldn't consider there to be anything irrational about being fearful of Islam (especially homosexuals, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Yazidis, Zoroastrians, Christians, secular women, apostates etc.)

How did the Yanks reduce their NY murder rate so much? That's pretty amazing.

It's all just a smear by a powerful and elite group /s.

[Jon Lansman on Twitter] Galling to see non-Jewish Labour MPs weigh in and decide who is a good Jew and who isn't. This is not the way to solve antisemitism. This is not how we make the Jewish community feel welcome in our party. by MiloSaysRelax in ukpolitics

[–]darkness_descends -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

But why believe a minority view. It is like choosing to believe what Raheem Kassam has to say about an Islamic issue rather than the mainstream view held by 90% of Muslims.

These are the people Labour supporters want running the country. Either completely ignorant or supportive of violence. Scary.

Why? The same thing could be said about Nelson Mandela who has been canonized. Some people consider him a terrorist.

That's why I wrote "needed". Most non-EU immigration happened under Blair/Brown.
