    Bring back libraries under public ownership

    What do you mean back? Is the UK somehow even worse than I thought?

      Yes. It is in fact worse than you thought. Many have been privatised.

        How the fuck do you even privatize a library? Wouldn't that just be a used bookstore where you have to give the books back after buying them?

          No you see... The government still pays for some of it, but someone else OWNS it and takes profit from that public money.

              If they tried that here in Oregon we would riot more than we usually do.

              Brits need to learn how to riot properly.

    I thought you meant the :gui-better: chop but I guess that's still better than nothing

      Well they get a choice between the chop or the chop. I suggest they choose the chop.
