Itâs a huge failure by the worldâs richest nation to not understand or appreciate their democracy and standing in the world. Lessons need to be learnt, and humility needs to be installed. Iâm hoping you all rediscover the meaning of community.

From Europe it looks like the people are with Trump. They are happy to see Latino catholics being stolen off the streets, they are happy with you turning your backs on us and threatening Greenland. They are happy with the dirty deals with Saudi and they are happy youâre in bed with Putin.

They win because your country is broken.
You canât come together to stop kids being killed at school. You canât come together to give each other healthcare even. Other countries solved these issues decades ago.
Itâs embarrassing.

The right is always United, they never criticise their politicians even though they act in the worst ways.
And they always win. And you have fascism now.
And people are being disappeared off the streets and sent to different countries, far from their families because you canât be grown ups.

How has he described the people who are already in the country?
Wasnât the most controversial line: âwe are in danger of becoming an island of strangersâ.
That doesnât refer to anyone in the country already. It doesnât refer to a single asylum seeker. It doesnât refer to a specific nationality.

I honestly think youâre hearing words that werenât said, perhaps blinded by your political leanings. We have to be able to talk about this as a nation.
Itâs strange because we have had fourteen years of clearly racist dog whistle politics from the Tories and they continue with that messaging.

Itâs always a fantastic day here where people arenât disappeared off the streets by masked goons with no legal process.

Well we are not.
We are answerable to the European court of human rights. Weâre culturally European and nothing like Americans who sit idly by whilst six year olds are murdered in cold blood and rather than change the law to prevent it from happening again, prefer to call the parents crisis actors

Do you really think itâs unreasonable to try to reduce the leves of immigration coming into the country, when the Tories lied to the people about it and brought in a million people without providing a single, additional resource for the people already living in the country?

Americaâs reputation will be in the toilet (like russiaâs is) if you throw Ukraine under the bus.
We will never, ever trust you again.

I preferred your last question, dickhead.
You do sure seem to be wasting your time sending me shitty memes and insulting people you donât know, rather than helping all the poor, disabled trans people who are being so violently treated by the fascist Labour regime. Joker.

Shouldnât you be out helping the poor and disabled trans people?

All that free education and all you learnt to do was send shitty memes that donât make sense.

Personally I think youâre the deluded one, wanting to vote for a fictional government to govern a fictional nation. But good luck with that, Iâm super sure itâll bring children out of poverty.

Itâs not difficult to vote. Itâs not expensive to vote.
And when we saw the largest turnout ever as a nation it was to vote for Brexit.

No, they canât be bothered to leave their houses to go to the nearest polling station.
They canât be bothered to protest, or fight for their rights.
So much privilege we have in our nations whilst billions in the world suffer and we simply canât be arsed.
comment in response to

300,000 years of human history and we are at the apex. Weâve never seen so many educated and so many out of poverty, but many people simply cannot be arsed.
Like I said, hospitals donât build themselves.

And, living in one of the richest democracies in the world, where they get a good education, free healthcare, access to healthy and good food, they decide not to vote at all and prefer to not improve their country.
We are so privileged by comparison to so many people in the world.

You do realise we are where we are because of the collective democratic decisions made by the country?

will again take massive strides forward.
Not sure how complaining about Labour gets you there. Just my opinion.

I read history when the suffragettes got the vote for every woman in this country.
I read the history when Labour created the welfare state (that you complain about) from the ashes we were left after the Second World War and after the death of 6 million Jews and 85 million people.
One day we

Funny that, seems everyone is scared of a reform government.
And itâs not my Labour government, but I am happy that they are governing. They were the only credible option.
So, next time round, who do you think will be capable of governing the UK? Reform? The Tories? Or some imaginary government?
comment in response to
post
Sure, but do you see millions of people around you asking for that? Are they on the streets?
You are aware of how politics works right?
You do understand that they need to win the argument over the media, reform, the tories and that the nation is essentially conservative?

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

You mean the cruel policies put in under 14 years of Tory rule. Remember we are still paying for their Covid corruption.
Just imagine how many children couldâve been fed if we hadnât paid all that money Rwanda.
Imagine what would be possible if our economy had grown under the EU.

Ah perhaps you shouldâve kept quiet if you didnât want me to reply to your insults.

In Venezuela, the kids only go to school three days a week because of their corrupt authoritarian government.
The same government that Jeremy Corbyn applauded.

There are 13 million unemployed South Africans. If theyâd had the education youâve had, Iâm pretty certain they wouldnât be trying to trade insults on the internet.
What a waste of an education, that was most likely paid for by the taxpayer.

Also, does not one child in all of Scotland ever go hungry?

I happily pay my taxes too buddy. Hospitals donât build themselves for free.
Proud we have an NHS too, considering billions of people in the world donât have access to healthcare.
I feel privileged to have had access to school and healthcare.

Itâs a picture of a fiver mate.
But anyway, like I said, name calling isnât policy and it makes you look unserious.
Good thing is my vote is equal to yours. Enjoy voting socialist/green/jeremy Corbyn independent. Hope it makes you feel superior to everyone else in the country.

If youâre in any of those groups, you live better today than you did twenty, fifty and a hundred years ago.
Our nation fought the Nazis and look at you whine and moan today. If we want to hand more money away, we better get off our arses and pay more taxes.

You canât run a country by calling people names. Principally itâs done through policy and good governance.

Are they though? We treat trans people very well in our country. How are they treated in yours?

Iâm fed up with pound shop patriots always talking down our amazing country. They hate the country and they hate us. Not falling for it.

How about the entire electorate take some responsibility for their collective decisions over the past decade and a half?
People donât say fuck all about the disaster that was Brexit. We need to be honest with ourselves and accept the constraints of the reality weâve created.

Labour are a million times better than the fourteen years of incompetence weâve collectively lived through with the Tories.
