I thought they said we are £12bn in the hole and that's why they're pushing forward with austerity?
Does the magic money tree only produce fruit when you want to cause harm in the world?
No it's OK, don't worry! Because everyone's going to magically Get Back To Work doing jobs that don't exist, and there won't be any more Lazy Disabled People putting a strain on Our Great British Finances! They may starve or freeze or kill themselves, but that's OK too! Because they are Moral Failures! Glory to Sir Keith! ✨✨✨

It's that old idea that you can build weapons in order to get yourself out of an economic crisis. Didn't seem to work in the run-up to 1914 or 1939 and I doubt it'll work this time either. But it'll distract the ordinary man or woman on the Clapham Omnibus from realising how shit everything is.
Great. More money flowing upwards into the pockets of the billionaire industrialists who own weapons manufacturing. Plus the joy of watching their media wind everyone up into hysteria about a war. If we're really lucky they'll then provoke a war and cause millions of us to die in the first blasts and then millions more in the radioactive wastelands afterwards.
Yet we’re literally letting disabled people unable to work starve to death because they supposedly can’t afford to pay them a lil bit of money.
Those disabled people are valiantly giving their lives, so that poor people can give their lives to keep the stock market and inherited wealth safe
You would have thought that for 2 billion pounds it would have been human sized.
Good. It’s about time we taught the Isle Of Man a lesson.
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
