A nation of Stockholm syndrome sufferers

Haven't checked it's veracity yet, but was reading some stuff recently that basically said we along with Poland were the least politically engaged population out of about 10 European countries studied. We scored lowly for level of activism (all parties/views) and we scored lowly for the amount of engagement through the media. Most Europeans, ourselves included, get their political engagement through media sources rather than through activism of any kind but we were noticeably lower in that area too. Add to that the state of our media anyway and you can see how we are where we are.

356 asylum seekers arrive in a single day. (Daily Mail.)

Maximum to be sent to Rwanda, if the scheme gets go-ahead = 200. (Cost of £ millions.)

Asylum seekers from Rwanda under the scheme = 200 with 'complex needs'.

And this is a solution? Am I missing something?

Of course you are ‘missing something’ the front page headlines in the Tory press.

Is anyone on here actually going to vote tory in the election? Genuine question as I'd love to hear a reason why

Me. Vaccines.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more civil unrest, normally you would say that was a good thing but it just shows how pathetically apathetic us brits are.

None more apathetic than us. Supine is our favourite position.

Of course it does. Half of the fucking front bench would be in prison.

If knowingly lying to parliament was a crime, Tony Blair would be in prison, or more accurately, we probably wouldn't have gone to war with Iraq.

Hard to arrange a day, what with the trains being on strike at random and £300 a ticket should they be running.

They're not daft this lot. We can’t protest if we can’t get there.

Retail sales slumped in September so we will be in some sort of technical recession that turns into growth after the Christmas spending spree. The economy will flat line until mid 2025. He’s delusional if he thinks it’s growing.

Now we’re out of the EU, the UK economy will flatline ad infinitum.

I hope Labour’s first Act of Parliament when elected declares that Frost is a fucking nonce as a matter of fact.
