  But these things influenced political decisions. It’s just that the British state back then was wise to this. Now it’s not so clear which makes revolution if not an inevitability, then at least a possibility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Brits who want to overthrow the state⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The history of Britain has a moment of near revolution with the electoral reform in the mid 19th century. Also the suffragettes. Also multiple slave revolts in the empire.

  And the Pink Floyd lyric is a classic that everyone who just discovered Pink Floyd resonates with. Throwing it in off handledly into a senseless article with no real analysis or thought just seems to me to try to add profundity to something mediocre.

  Arguably, due to the utter failure of conservatism, it is the responsibility of what was the “left” to protect and salvage what is possible from the UK’s culture, institutions and industry and create a path forward out of neoliberal and American hegemonic collapse.

  This would be true reform. The danger is more extreme market liberals or fascists gain a foothold and irrevocably fuck the nation.

  We’ve experienced both street action and political violence, yes, and these are febrile times – but such things have never overthrown a government. Most of the time they don’t even change policy.

  What a fucking shit take bootlicker article from the newstatseman.

  This is not a country that’s ready to man the barricades. Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

  Seriously is the author 12.

  The government and corporations can do that too

  This constitutes a period of British policy which we now know as “Ass Harm”, harm perpetuated by asses

  - some fake historian

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More like a bacterial infection imo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m assuming “ass harmful” is a typo but prefer to believe it’s an historian term applied to British ideological aims

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More like a bacterial infection imo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My understanding is the Tories actually tried to provide relief by importing food which was discontinued by the liberals. So more PM Russell who fucked up.

  Labour has completely ignored this community from the get-go, and failed to consult with them at every step of the way Dame Priti Patel, shadow foreign secretary

  She doesn’t care about the Chagossians, she just wants the UK to keep sovereignty over the islands.

  Honestly though, I’m completely confused by this whole thing. Some Chagossians are settled in the UK now and some live in Mauritius. They do seem to be excluded from this negotiation though and I wonder what the point is. If the Chagossians aren’t going to be properly represented by Mauritius either then what’s the point in transferring sovereignty to Mauritius.

  Mauritius, UK and US are all complicit in this bullshit.
