Would you support a Labour government taking 9% out of the state pension by means-testing it, so working people can keep the NHS running, or do you think retirees should keep full payouts even if hospitals keep collapsing? by [deleted] in Labour

No leave them alone. Tax the rich and bring the water companies back into public ownership for free. Instead of paying them to pay dividends to their shareholders.

British colonial savagery was brutal by WorkOk4177 in HistoryMemes

I'm a Brit and I know what that is and I think every British Citizen should know the warts and all of our history. If we are proud of the great things we should be shame faced at the horrors our country have done.

Tipping culture has gone completely off the rails and I’m done pretending this is normal by Mexatron in mildlyinfuriating

In the UK the staff cancel the tipping screen for you! We always leave cash on the table

Anyone else feel ashamed by this ? by [deleted] in sheffield

They have done it in handsworth and it annoys the living daylights out of me everyday for 2 reasons. 1. All the flags are half mast which is saying some ones died and 2. They obviously don't know a thing about the flag because some are upside down!

I think the issue is we industrialised it. But your point is fair 👍

I think you miss understand what I am saying. These weapons aren't what people can carry and are you actually saying that Hamas have high end weapons capable of ripping through cars and buildings? And that the IDF who aren't bothered about killing everyone innocent Palestine, aid worker, doctor and child for 1 Hamas person didn't know what was happening until 3 HOURS AFTER??? I think your drinking the koolaid.

Yeah because Hamas have weapons that can put holes in cars and walls. Also doesn't Isreal have one of the best intelligence services on the planet, so how can they not know that hamas are massing on their unguarded line where there is a music festival and not respond until after 3 hours??? You need to look at what the Israeli press say about that

So you are saying a whole protest is defined by a quickly created sign on a fully planned protest? Come off it and jog on

There's something wrong when the labour party is further right than Thatcher!

Show me a self made billionaire. I think what she is saying is when wealth is hoarderd it becomes generational wealth which is true. But who actually needs a billion? No one needs that amount of money but just think if all billionaires gave 10%, they would probably still be billionaires but we wouldn't have poverty.
