Yep:wow:

The box that has been opened over the last few decades, isn't getting closed again without some bad shyt happening.

I think the remaining time left in the day might be a bit late for incrementalism tho



Yeah...sad to say. We're just gonna have to ride this out.

Nations should be cooperating to address some of the existential crisis we face (like climate change). Instead nation states are embracing nationalism, which seems to be the absolutey wrong direction we need to be headed in. Its almost as if the worst possible path humans could take is being taken.
I am concerned that after its all said and done and people are finally fed up with this right wing era it will be far too late to adequately address the very troubling issues we face as a global society.

"Labour has started to lose some of its frontbench team now.

Sue Hayman - the party’s shadow environment secretary - has lost to the Conservatives in Workington.

And the shadow Brexit minister Jenny Chapman has lost to the Tories in Darlington too.

There may well be other big name Labour casualties in the next few hours."


Labour getting wrecked :damn:
Losing seats they've held since 1918 :dwillhuh:


The damn chair of the Labour Party just about kept his seat after seeing his majority fall from 10k+ TO 814

Goddamn

I didn't even know that English people hated Polish immigrants like that until I've looked more into UK politics the past 2-3 years.

Welp, English people will get what they want :francis:.
Westerners euros hate polish or eastern euros for some od reason, polishout is a major hot button issue in alot if those countries it's alot like America with Mexicans but less illegal and more job taking.

I keep thinking of Obama and his messaging. He gets excoriated on this board, but he pushed for marginal gains,made sure his political apparatus was strong and reaching people and it worked.

Let me be clear, that is not to say that leftist ideas are wrong, indeed, I think it's what the world needs, but the world doesn't seem to be ready for it. Sometimes as a liberal you see your idea as medicine - take it whether you like it or not cause it will make you better. We have failed to take into account the middle aged and old cacs who would rather die than take their medicine and who have a massive voice in the political process.

We either find a way to reach them or say "fukk them" and wait for the wave of youth that never quite seems to come through for us.

What is the Black British take on Boris and all this? This may sound naive but is this going to be like a n*gga wake up call for the Black and mixed British who have forgotten about the likes of Enoch Powell ,etc? I'm not one of those Coli posters who think you all are c00ns or nothing and there isn't much you can move the needle with your small percentage of the population but I have a feeling White Brits may start getting bold and open with their feelings like we saw after Trump 2016.

I can imagine upped police presence and incarceration for the "knife crime epidemic" and we know who that's going to be for :francis:

So there is a majority for the parties which back Irish unity in Northern Ireland. The SNP is set to equal its highest tally of seats gained since 2015...Boris Johnson the idiot that snatches defeat from the jaws of victory....this just made my day
