People joke, and putting aside my anarchism for a second and disliking the state as a whole, but the lettuce would be a better Prime Minister than any Tory, let alone just Truss.
Not even exaggerating. Genuinely. I would rather have the lettuce.
imagine if we put the kings coronation money towards fixing food poverty in the UK, the cost of the queens funeral + the coronation is enough to solve the child food poverty crisis in the UK but instead tax payers money was wasted on a dead woman and a dying princess in a golden fucking cart. the potholes in the road were temporarily filled with sand because they "didnt have the funds" because apparently £100 MILLION POUNDS of TAXPAYERS MONEY is better spent on a cunt in a cart than itd be if it was spent on fixing our roads for our safety or saving children in poverty from dying due to malnutrition, they wont get a fucking gold cart, they wont even get their gcses because the government DONT CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE THEY CARE ABOUT THE PROFIT.
THEY DO NOT CARE IF WE DIE AS LONG AS THEY ARE LIVING IN LUXURY
Your hate killed a child. No matter how you see her, she was 16. 6 months into her transition. She was brutally murdered in a public park. You are killing innocent people. Innocent children.
I saw this post on facebook from an organisation that helps people with their PIP applications last night
I have my PIP reassessment tomorrow, they know I have anxiety and today I have received 3 phone calls, every 2 hours from a withheld number… I haven’t answered. I fully suspect its the DWP trying this tactic and even despite my thinking that, its still succeeding in triggering my anxiety
Update: Turns out it was PIP phoning, it was one of the first things they said to me on my phone assessment. Supposedly the 4 phone calls (another happened after I made this post) from a withheld number were to remind me for my appointment today but they sent me a text during the day inbetween 2 of the calls and you’d think they’d leave a voicemail so yeah its crafty and the worst part is it worked, today its not only triggered my anxiety but its also made my fibro & ME flare up today with increased pain and fatigue (not helped by me not getting any sleep last night), its flared my ibs and gave me a migraine after the call ended
I think it’s bullcrap we are getting another Prime Minister and the people, the goddamn PEOPLE who suffer and have to face the consequences from whoever is PM and we don’t even get to vote for the person Again!! What bullshit!!
I know there’s so many faults with our systems of government but I always thought that ultimately they had to go by public opinion to have any chance of being re-elected.
Now I just feel really powerless. My government decides to bomb a protest in defence of genocide and I just have to watch and pay for it. Why is there no concern about escalating conflict? Why is there no concern about innocent lives?
I just don’t know what I can do. We’ve protested and we’ll protest again but it seems to have little impact. I think overturning the current system will make everything worse, but I feel really disheartened in democracy recently.
