in case you’re wondering what the current political climate is in the uk, you can now place bets on whether a single 60p lettuce will last longer than liz truss as prime minister
oh, and the lettuce in question is being live streamed
The British government says that inflation isn't "that bad".
I have coeliac disease and am physically unable to digest gluten or wheat. I have to eat food made of corn flour, and it's already four times more expensive than food made out of wheat flour. Inflation has made it damn near impossible to find ordinarily priced food that I can actually fucking eat, because all the cheap alternative stuff designed to help people save money have a shit ton of wheat it.
Next time the government wants to tell me that inflation isn't "that bad", I want them to live on a gluten free diet for a week with an average weekly wage. Maybe then they'd fucking understand that just because abled people can cope with inflation, it doesn't mean disabled people can.
Fuck the UK government. Fuck the monarchy as well.
I found this a while back but I just wanted to share this for people who haven't seen it

"It is a criminal offence in this country to pay tax if any of it is used to fund genocide, murder or any criminal activity as per the 1945 UN Charter, Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, Terrorism Act 2000 and The Nuremberg Code."

"Our team of experts have determined that British taxpayers can legally withhold taxation through a clear mechanism we will set out for you. Millions of people in this country want an end to the killing - are you ready to make your voice heard?"
#OTD in 1920 - The inquest into the death of Tomás MacCurtain, Lord Mayor of Cork killed by policemen in disguise on 20 March, returns a verdict of willful murder against the RIC, and indicts Lloyd George and the British government.
A Cork jury returns a verdict of willful murder against British Prime Minister Lloyd George following the killing in March of Lord Mayor Tomas MacCurtain. The verdict read:
“We find that Alderman Tomas MacCurtain, Lord Mayor of Cork, died from shock and haemorrhage, caused by bullet wounds, and that he was wilfully wounded under circumstances of the most callous brutality; and that the murder was…
The UK Government have made it deliberately more difficult for young people to vote
i don’t unusually post stuff like this and I don’t know how many people will see it but i’m posting it anyway
the government passed a law meaning you have to have id when you go to vote and the options for young people are way fewer than for over 60s
example: 60+ oyster cards are valid but 18+ are not
it’s not surprising the tory government have done this considering
[ID: percentages of people voting for differences parties at the 2019 general election, split by age. The proportion of tory voters increases with each age bracket. End]
UK people please check you have a valid form of ID. I will put a link to more info in the notes because i’m not sure whether posts with links show up in searches
Fuck the racist British government for its deportations of refugees to Rwanda. Fuck Britain's exploitation of people. Fuck anybody who supports that shit. Fuck anybody who makes excuses for that shit. And fuck England.
Okay in light of the absolutely ridiculous developments in the UK, I can't be the only one who's noticed that France, the US, and the UK are ALL collapsing and they ALL based their current gov. systems off one another at around the same time in history, right?
Like,,, my brothers in christ YOU decided to cheat off of each other's homework and now you're shocked that all three of you got F's.
