In my opinion. It’s really important what happens in the next 5 years and how the media reports that.

Fascist is a term that gets thrown around too lightly for people that they disagree with especially on this website.

There is two things seem to being going on. Britain has moved left. That’s largely due to how much everyone hates the conservatives rather than labour winning votes.

But the unexpected thing is Reform gaining a lot of seats and becoming second in certain seats. Reform have run on changing the voting system, house of lords, reducing taxes for small business and low incomes, improving the NHS. But the real reason people are voting for them in reducing immigration both legal and illegal. This is why they have gained millions of votes and if this doesn’t get addressed their share will continue to increase because they are the only party talking about it in the way people want. But even though Reform want to increase defence spending they are friendly with Russia and not good on the environment.

The door is definitely opening for the UK to swing further right than the current Tories in 5 years.

Yes there is being right but also being stupid.

Here lies the body of William Jay, Who died maintaining his right of way— He was right, dead right, as he sped along, But he’s just as dead as if he were wrong.

I hope this gets dealt with as a single incident, but given current affairs, I am not optimistic.

Genuine question. Is it a single incident though?

There have been a lot of reports of issues with people coming to western countries and not holding the same standards of respect for women.

I think it should be dealt with as a single issue iff it is a single issue. If it isn’t a single issue why should it be treated as such?

The right choice.

The UK is a pressure cooker about to go off. If nothing meaningful changes in the next 5 it’s going to explode.

I think AI will be the petrol that’s going to take the whole thing up. It won’t change the world entirely in 5 years but it will do enough.

It could be the best for you.

You seem to be implying all people and countries are on a scale moving closer to some single ideal.

But it’s perfectly valid to think your house is the best and want it to be different to someone else’s house, who also thinks their house is the best.

It’s by design.

The rich want low housing and high population because it makes their assets go up. Traditionally like silent generation, greatest generation and before affordable homes for the working class and the following generations was seen as an ideal that people were willing to die for. This ideal was largely realised with the boomers.

But the boomers then decided it is better if they have houses and no one else does because their wealth can go up and they can then make money like the land owners than their grandparents were kept in poverty by. Now they can do it to their children!

I honestly don’t think it will be solved until the boomers die. Even then I wouldn’t count on it. Too much effort to keep population increasing no matter the cost.

If I was PM I would end up get voted out by doing something drastic like trying to put through a land value tax and building a new city 1mill+ city maybe between Hull and Leeds. Put a big fucking 200mph train line between Liverpool and Hull. Tell everyone to get fucked and steal some quotes from Churchill and JFK about going through hard time for the better of the country.

You need to sort our bed time routine out.

Don’t do anything in bed other than sleep (or sex). Go to bed try to sleep, if you don’t sleep get up and go to another room and come back in half an hour, an hour whatever it takes. Try sleep again if that doesn’t work after a bit get up again. I actually find going for a pee and trying again works surprisingly well. Take your TV out of your room, don’t use your phone in bed, don’t exercise in your bedroom and don’t exercise late and night.

Try the military sleep method.

If you want time to waste on something, do a jigsaw or scale model.

Join a board game group.

Watch The World at war 1973. Best ww2 doc ever made and its 26 episodes long. That will waste some time.

It’s Apple.

Plenty if people will pay that and think it’s an amazing deal for cutting edge, futuristic, elegant technology that no other company is providing.

Am I too old for the internet now?

Not worth it. Get way more stealing off the church roof instead.

Exactly. That’s what’s happened in Denmark. The facts speak for themselves.

This website is so extremist even the you talking about why this is happening is being down voted. This website doesn’t not like anything that exists outside of their bubble.

Well done France. This is democracy in action. Ignore the people and tell them what they want, they will just find someone that will listen to them.

All the left/centrist parties in the world just need to look at Denmark and the far right will go away within one election cycle.

22 million people in the UK receive benefits. At some point we are better off moving to a UBI system.

Benefits that disappear when you start work just disincentivise work. The system needs a change and doesn’t seem to be working. Need something like tax breaks for businesses in areas with high unemployment. Or business that want to hire cheap exploited immigrants should be encouraged to first expand to areas that need jobs.

Britain sold it’s empire and everything in it for cheap to the Americans all the while american manufacturing grew while Europe got destroyed.

WW2 was the best thing that ever happen to the Americans.

Communism is great. You can spaff as much money up the wall as you want. Doesn’t matter, anything you want can be done.

Then you wonder why there is no food in the supermarkets.

That’s not how air to air heat pumps work.

I don’t see how and air to air heat pump wouldn’t work.

Insulation needs to be solved yes. But if you heating your house with gas verse electricity if the output is the same then the result is the same.

Dignity is great and all but it doesn’t make houses when there aren’t enough. That’s two different problems.

We are on about new ones.

If you won’t accept the most basic, basic, basic ideas about economics. Then yes congratulations you can’t be taught something. I wouldn’t be proud of that.
