President Xi, my people yearn for freedom.

On a serious note, this is very saddening.

    So at what point will the proverbial camel have it's back broken? Cuss to me it seems like a year or two from now will be enough to cause much of the UK to get to a complete breaking point that people will seek any alternative given.

      Gordon Brown (cringe) said he thinks there'll be a national uprising if the planned cuts to benefits happen.

      I'm not sure how cool that will be but it's becoming increasingly clear we're on the knife edge.

        Looking into Gordon Brown makes me feel that the statement may or may not be accurate (he gave the UK David Cameron after all), though I feel pensions just like social security in the US are th eone thing that would ignite a lot of the elderly and retired to get very mad since it impacts their own material reality.

      Probably when Labour comes in and continues to do fuck all to help things other than the bare minimum to keep infrastructure running so rich people can keep usin it at earliest.

      The current economic consensus won't improve anything. So there will be a change at some point. What that change will be for :shrug-outta-hecks:

      English population is too bootlicking to rise up, so Scotland and Northern Ireland at most (and even that is unlikely).

        I agree. The English will just sit and die in their freezing homes rather than revolting. Ironic, given how revolting the average Anglo is.

        I'll take a united Ireland, that would at least line us up with Star Trek posadism
