      Funny thing is terf island doesn’t even need that, they can literally create more money to pay for both things, the central bank can issue unlimited pounds. But they’d rather simultaneously fund war and murder people with disabilities than only fund war.

    Dame Meg Hillier, who chairs the Treasury select committee and was a originally a key rebel, said “divided parties don’t hold power” and that claimed that if Labour members want to see their values played out in this country “we need to vote for this today”.

    We need unity and power so we can ram through more ghoulshit policies.

    I’m not kidding when I say this, kill these people.

      the weirdest part of the UK is that it’s seemingly the most dysfunctional country currently. Like, they had some of the biggest tech and industrial headstarts you can imagine, and somehow they managed to learn fuck all. The second their empire stopped sending them tribute, their country began a slow collapse, which we’re now seeing accelerate. I genuinely struggle to think of a worse example of how to run a country, and it’s seemingly done for no reason. The people who are destroying the country aren’t even making out like bandits, like we saw in Russia after the murder of the Soviet Union, but is done entirely for ideological reasons. And when the ideology runs into the simple material fact that their thinking is plainly wrong, they just double down and do more of the same. It’s maddening!

          yeah but that’s my point. You can show the St. Noncingtons School for Boys and Men the numbers that prove that their way of doing things is obviously not working. But even when shown the data, they just double and triple down to a degree that I struggle to fathom. And I hope that you guys figure out a way to make your leaders understand it soon, since it seems my prime minister is hellbent on following in your footsteps (I believe my country is currently where you guys were in 2014, so things aren’t looking good).

        If imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, it stands to reason that if you take away the imperialism it’s no bueno

          That’s not what “imperialism” in the context of “imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism” means. Britain is still doing imperialism/in the imperialist stage of capitalism, it just doesn’t have an “empire” in the same sense as the Romans had an empire.

        Why would they learn anything when they had headstarts? Learning is for backward countries, who have a choice to learn or perish.

    On Monday (1 July), the government confirmed that cuts will only impact new disability benefit claimants, while current claimants will be protected.

    Shit is very bad but at least it will only affect new claims. I can see a court case happening down the line to determine what a “current claimant” really is when they fuck with some people though.

        On the plus side the court tends to come down against the government on benefits really often. I expect there will be some fuckery at some point and then the court will come down against the gov for it.
