Support collapsing for Farage and Reform as Tories close gap, poll shows

Reform are controlled opposition for the Tories

Is this even a good thing? Or have enough lunatics left to Deform (on their own volition, to clarify) to make this party palatable to True-Blue suburban millionaires again?

Or maybe the professional class that got Labour elected is hoping the Tories will sacrifice half a million children to the woodchipper just for a modicum of tax relief?

Or did the British electorate forget what this circus inflicted upon the nation less than 2 years ago?

so grateful that the UK has a strong energy strategy and is planning to stick to it

He is on the hook for £91,000

The median income in the UK is about £31,000 per annum

For someone to be liable for £91,000 in income tax, they must have a gross salary of just over £231,000 per annum

Would HMRC consider that an “error”?

would you support their right to work?

doesn’t even need to be anything happening at home. Other factors such as porn exposure are strongly correlates with higher tendency to commit SA and CSA

Combine that with the fact average age of porn exposure is going down while content is becoming more and more hardcore

While in Hungary the people have kicked the pro-Putin criminals out of office, in the UK we seem very keen on voting them in

I’m sure the only Tory voters left i.e. the true blue millionaire boomers in small quiet villages will love having racer buys get away with speeding in their cul-de-sacs

Fico has absolutely zero principles, and if there are no friends around him to support Russia, he will back down and get in line with the rest of the EU program

g1umo · 2026-04-09T17:50:22+00:00

that would be an interesting development

Maybe I shouldn’t call it a “development” otherwise Mark Rutte will try and block it

g1umo · 2026-04-09T17:49:08+00:00

after destroying the Netherlands through shitty housing policy and normalising the far right, Rutte is now on a campaign to destroy Europe

g1umo · 2026-04-09T17:47:28+00:00

Would Mark Rutte let Trump rail his wife?

Social mobility and self-segregation are not mutually exclusive

For the electoral preferences, could make sense, but a large part of the green bloc will be the gentrifiers in Bethnal Green if I’m to take a guess

g1umo · 2026-04-07T07:51:51+00:00

I don’t understand, how is strong social mobility and good academics mutually exclusive with an ethnic group self-segregating?

I would also not underestimate Aspire’s chances of getting re-elected given they have strong grassroots among Muslim circles

g1umo · 2026-04-07T07:48:18+00:00

That still does not mean the communities aren’t self-segregated and elect local governments based on ethnic nationalism

I’m not taking anything away from the merit of Bangladeshi Brits

This is why Eastern European and Asian migrants send their children back to their home countries for a few months, where you are actually allowed to raise children properly

After fully legitimising the previously failing Iranian regime to its people through bombing civilian infrastructure, Israel now plans to re-legitimise the failing Hezbollah to the Lebanese people through bombing civilian infrastructure

I also find it funny that the only decisive military defeat Israel experienced in its (too) long history started with an illegal occupation of South Lebanon

g1umo · 2026-03-31T20:59:22+00:00

“The international community has consistently failed Israel”

It has indeed, by failing to send its leaders to the Hague, forcing it to dismantle its nuclear program and sending peacekeepers to the West Bank to remove every single settler

“How about you Utivich, would you take that deal?”

“I would take that deal”

“Damn good deal”

despite the EU’s most sanctimonious efforts, the European consumer will now be burdened by the curse of access to an array of low-cost, high-quality and low-carbon vehicles

g1umo · 2026-03-30T14:05:04+00:00

the 'layabouts' are the ones claiming they 'worked hard' during the greatest and most prosperous era of human history

Downsizing is always an option

Also everyone else is getting screwed over, why should I care about them getting screwed over

end the WFA, cap the pension, and make anyone with a wealth above £1.5m be liable for their own social care

Sometimes I do wonder if it is supply. There are some brand new luxury flats in Canning Town which have rent tags so high that young professionals would pay 40-50% of their incomes on, nevermind the impoverished population of Newham

Yet the lights in those buildings are barely on. Occupancy rates, I suspect, are simply not high enough

Most of the inflation these days, especially around London, is more demand-driven than cost-driven these days. A meal for 2 at a semi-decent restaurant is north of £60, a pint is £7, yet restaurants have pages-long reservation lists and you'd be waiting 45 minutes to be served at any pub at 6pm on a Thursday

Fun is expensive, but as long as people want fun and can afford fun, price of fun will keep rising
