I do not understand the governance of the UK
Why haven’t the order thrown the parties on their asses?

Private ownership of the media.

Yeah because government run media is such a great idea. /SARCASM

I think people are being dosed with some kind of pollutant that is inhibiting their fear center somehow, interfering with brain function to make them more trusting and compliant, and massive numbers with taxoplasmosis, a parasite that affects all mammals spread between rodents and cats, where the rodents lose their fear of cats when they get it.
I used to joke about that, half joke, I’m full serious now. In the US as well, something is fundamentally wrong with everyone, not just one side.

COVID did cause real brain damage, we have not measured the impact at scale, but u think it made everyone more selfish and uncaring.

See, USA, that’s how you roll out an Orwellian society.

It actually doesn’t do that. AI cameras such as flock cams have a history of misidentification, even framing unrelated third parties.

UK, it’s not a contest to be the most fascist. Calm down over there. Anyway, I’ve got to get back to starving under the Trump regime.

Yeah idk why the cutoffs are so short on some instances. Personally I think the feed would look fine with 5 lines of headline text on a post.

Usually when you think of reform, you imagine things getting better, not things getting worse…
Zombie@feddit.uk 23 hours ago
Sadly, that word definitely means things getting worse in the UK now

UK POLICE GETS FACIAL FROM LFR, WATCH LIVE ON MONDAY!

Labour is doing almost as much damage as Reform would do… nobody asked for all this nanny state shit…
FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 day ago
Still, emphasis on the word almost. The key here is to swap out Labour candidates, not lose to reform next election.

No. You don’t get to say this is ok because it’s Labour. This is authoritarian power grabs. Nobody voted for this because this was never shared with the public.
Labour, Tories and Reform all need to be cast into the wilderness for decades over what’s going on right now.

Tell that to Andy Burnham.
We’re not a purely two party state, like America, that requires changing the Democrats from within.
Labour is a captured organisation. The PLP is filled with authoritarians and Friends of Israel. And the PLP has the majority of power within the party. The effort required to change it from within would be better spent in the already established Green party and establishing Your Party.
The left can abandon Labour, as it abandoned the left in the 90s.

Of course they have, it’s just the people asking for it are also the people who own, one way or another, the creatures we are presented with as political candidates. I.E. the billionaire and ownership class. What the plebs want doesn’t matter, and the squeaky wheel gets the grease every time.

Reform wouldn’t win if they didn’t help out.

Don’t worry. They’ll U turn in 6 months once the political damage has had a really good chance to fester.

They’re not going to abandon the surveillance state, it will only grow. They may posture like they’re putting controls on it, but at some level all of the assholes in government want this.
