No, the UK is not alright. They are worse off than the US, less the blowhard leadership. As of yet.

That's just because the favored style for populists in the UK is "posh twat" rather than "loud blowhard", making them a lot harder to spot unless you're familiar with British (especially English) culture.

Ha ha, I see those motherfuckers, or magna carta fuckers as the case may be, how do we make the voter see it?

No one here is building concentration camps or deporting natural born citizens lol, but keep telling yourself that.

Absolute nonsense. I dislike our government but all the other alternatives would shift us further right. I'm not a fan of Keir, but he's pushed back on Trump's mad war and, in terms of policy, Labour is the UKs most liberal mainstream party.

That is what the controlled opposition tells you to throw the game to fascists. Which makes you how do I say this, I don't want to say a tool, but kind of.

You are the one that should be fucking off with your Embrace of the controlled opposition leading us to a doomed to fail strategy fighting under people that will not win, are not trying to win, or not on our side, and they want to destroy us. How fucking stupid do you have to be to not realize that yet? Mate.
