    No country on Earth hates it's children more than TERF island. They tear up parks and replace them with concrete to deprive them (and everyone) of places to go for free, they put up little high-pitched noise devices everywhere that are meant to be uncomfortable to them to discourage "loitering", and they have programs like PREVENT that use 21st century War on Terror rationales to funnel children into the prison pipeline even more efficiently (and on even flimsier pretenses) than ever before!. Now these solipsistic Saturnian fucks, who at every point in their lives have felt entitled to treats, an empire, neverending cultural hegemony for their generation and class, sex tourism in oppressed nations, control of other people's bodies, and unconditional love and respect from their abused children, are starting to grind up against the cold walls of the reality they helped create, and their stunted psyches cannot handle it, reaching out as always for someone else to blame.

    #Notallbrits obviously, but the society; there is something deeply vicious, incestuous, and cannibalistic about that wretched isle.

      People will (rightfully) shit on the Tories a lot, but the horrifying thing is that a lot of this stuff - as well as ASBOs and the shutting down of almost all youth clubs - happened under New Labour, and following Blair's tragedy we'll soon be living under Starmer's farce.

        If only Labour could have stopped itself from punching down on the working class, they could have won in 2019 and Corbyn would have been PM. But no, they just couldn't. At this point they need to rebrand and drop the Labour name because that's definitely not the part of society they want to represent.
