We're all in on the culture war now
finding this clip of frankie boyle shitting on clarkson made my life qualitatively better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qrCrxixBKY
clarkson is just a shithead kid who's somehow an adult. He has the views and humour of a particularly obnoxious teenager
I'm just taking a moment to remember the massive smear campaign against Corbyn, including the centrists in Labour working to undermine him during their election, and how ultimately it led to this dumbass taking the reins instead.
well this guy is the tory leader
but it's mad that corbyn was ousted for antisemitism he didn't do and now the SS are fine again
"I love cars. Therefore we should mandate that EVERYONE drives!"
As someone who is forced to drive because I was unlucky enough to be born in bumfuck nowhere: fuck you. I hate always-busy traffic. If waiting in line is your idea of fun, go watch paint dry or something. I'm too busy to lengthen my commute.
He's British. They always like to spontaneously form and stand in lines!
Have you seen the latest from Macron ? he said exactly that a few days ago. You can make out the car & oil lobby through his words https://youtu.be/Tpbci1kOMEM
Rough transcript :
"We (the french) care about our cars. Me ? I dig/love it."
Freedom to travel except if you're taking the train, then you can get fucked with delays, overcrowded trains and expensive fairs. Glad to be living on this hell rock
Forcing everyone to own a car due to lack of public transport/safe cycling infrastructure fucks over motorists as well. Imagine the traffic in London if suddenly everyone that commutes by train was forced to drive in.
New national parking platform
...if that means what I think it means, it's probably the worst of the lot.
Take it from an American: mandatory minimum parking will absolutely ruin your towns and cities.
And thank goodness for that! I hope the trend continues until we have actual, livable places.
Sorry for downvote, it's not that at all.
At the moment each carpark on the UK can use any app it likes on mobile to pay, so you end up with every place having its own. Dozens of apps on phones to pay for parking, having to remember which one is right for the one you're in today.
The proposal is to have a single app and have different car parks sign up to it so it's easier for people to pay.
I say proposal. It's not a plan is it. Idea? Dream? Fantasy? I dunno how much they can do before they are forced to call an election and get kicked out.
Ah yes, the freedom to be stuck in traffic jams. Now where have I heard that before...
What a fucking idiot. Has he been living under a rock? He's going out of his way to remake all of America's mistakes. Absolute buffoon.
That's been Britain since the 2010s, they all caught Ameriboo fever and want to be a carbon copy of burgerland.
It's alway funny when a Brit gets really mad at any non-Brit discussing politics and says, "it's not like the US!" Idk their politicians seem to be trying pretty damn hard to ape whatever the Dems and Republicans are doing.
The Tories here in the UK are trying to emulate the GOP, of that there is no doubt. They'd also force us poors back into victorian era workhouses given the chance.
Fuck this dude and his plan and his shitty fat polluting murder machines
this is the most important comment in this whole thread. Sunak – who absorbed the party leadership role as the "continuity candidate" – is trying to pitch his own party as the radical opposition when they've been running the country for 30 of the 43 years he's been alive, and have been more or less electorally unopposed for the entirety of his political career. the amount of unironic opportunitistic populist bullshit he's got blowing his sails along would be funny if it wasn't so viscerally horrible
Brits will do this to themselves and then in 10-20 years complain about how they have no friends or significant other because it's hard to meet people. All while continuing to vote for people like this.
Ahh yes, the same PM who has a list of 5 directly contradictory statements as his so-called ‘plan’, that one right?
More freedom for people that can afford to buy a car and live in an area with ample parking. But no freedom for everyone else amirite
You're free to travel how you like as long as you keep the fuck out of my way and breathe in my car farts
There’s a small YouTube channel I watch of a this dude longboard around London. It’s amazing how pedestrian and skate friendly it is. They’d be doing some proper long term damage if this kind of thinking gets through. With Brexit the Brits might be in for a decade more of rolling back civilisation.
The EU wasn't the cause of the parts of britain that aren't car centric
