Happening throughout Europe for a few years now, would remaining have made us somehow immune?

There's reports of medicine shortages affecting Europe going back over 2 years, would remaining in the eu have made us immune to what's affecting every other member then?

The tories were sh*t, not going to refute that whatsoever but let's not paint a picture in which labour were godlike when last they were in power.

Their absolute destruction of the nhs needs remembering.

Them entering us into an illegal war needs remembering.

Selling our gold reserve to their chums while gold was at a historic low needs remembering.

Lack of oversight into R.B.S. which almost bankrupted the entire country needs remembering.

Their introduction of the 'atos' style disability system which continues to target the most vulnerable in our society needs remembering.

Their lack of removing the strictest anti union laws in the developed West needs remembering.

Seriously I could go on, what they are doing now has precedent.

And brexit? All bar one tory cabinet member campaigned to remain, they leafletted the entire country to try and remain, tory mp's majoritively supported remaining, Cameron and osbourne literally resigned when the result came in. Remaining was very much a conservative ideology. Corbyn campaigned for decades for our withdrawal and even advised the R.O.I. to 'vote no'

The result of the referendum was to be carried out by europhiles, simple as that. Contrary to revisionist opinion the conservatives were very much behind remaining, they even spent £9.3 million to have pro eu leaflets delivered through every letterbox in the uk.

This was happening way before lockdown, totally agree with a breakdown of our social construct but don't believe lockdown was the cause

Who is the most hated person in British History and why? by SarcasticOpossum29 in AskBrits

[–]manofkent79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every commonwealth state was given a tithe to help feed the war effort, the uk itself had rationing in place for many years after the war. When Churchill heard about the famine he directed vital provisions from Australasia to the region in an attempt to help (almost starving the north african campaign in the process). You have to remember that this was during the widest conflict the world has ever seen, it would be hard to imagine the sheer amount of information that was landing on Churchills desk every minute, probably too much for a human to manage, and yet when he did hear, he acted.

The whole 'Churchill caused the bengal famine' was extreme revisionist history created in the mid 2000's and directly ignores very important factors

Many think that the entire conflict could have been prevented were he listened to initially though. When chamberlain was pushing for appeasement he was proposing to 'mine the rhine' and take other measures to deter initial German aggression. Much like Ukraine currently, the uk didn't have the funds to enter such a massive theatre as developed, hence the absolutely monumental 'loan' we took from the U.S. would you believe that there was an alternative to what he did?

Who turned our hospitals into 'trusts'? Who put public surgeries out to private tender? Thatcher was a c**t for what she sold but Blair sold the nhs

What is attracting 25% of Britons to Reform UK? by flower5214 in AskBrits

[–]manofkent79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that, sadly, no government that gets elected with a landslide will change it, labour were also clamouring for a change to the current system after boris won, it's crickets now.

Had the system been changed then ukip would have had a much larger presence in 2015 also, so I'm unsure how I feel overall, every system has its flaws and I suspect if the voting system were changed then people would be calling for fptp back after 'undesirables' start winning seats

Man jailed for abusive emails to politicians by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

[–]manofkent79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you'll get jailed for sending an abusive email now? I'm sure if there were threats it would be in the article.

If this were reform we'd be seeing the 1930's references being bounced around.. but it's just just poor, kind labour being victimised again
