    At this point ive started to consider that this is a preparation for war. Imperialism is getting ready for a major conflict and this is just a tiny piece of the puzzle

      Honestly I was just thinking exactly the same thing. They will make it unliveable for people and blame it on Russia, and then make them chose, “so do you want peace or welfare? Cause you can’t have both” and we’ll watch the support for the war skyrocket cause Brits are so used to leaching off other countries they believe it’s their manifest destiny.

    Tragic. Same will happen here + unemployment benefits will be cut largely as well. Going to put a lot of people out of income, basically telling them they’re not worthy to care about. Can’t let this happen.

      Britain and Europe want to desperately go back to their tradition of mass social murder just as before the creation of the USSR.

        In addition to wanting a list of people with “disabilities,” the government and health insurance companies are also pushing for centralized medical records, which are accessible by the government, insurance, and whoever they decide to sell the data to.

        There’s a new law which is supposed to come. Something about registers. It creeped me out so hard I didnt read all of it. Wife said they are starting with addicts who wer stationary “for their own benefit”. Well, that worked great in the past.
