How so? We pushed back on that moronic cult leader that somehow has half the US in his thrall.We have socialised healthcare and a welfare state and we don't have mass shootings.
I don't really think losing underage-presenting incest porn is the smoking gun you guys think it is.
Don't get me wrong, it's a silly step and is another example of Keir pointlessly trying to woo a right wing media that fully despises him and has shareholder interest in his failure.
If he would just fucking wake up and learn that he doesn't need to dance to their game, as proven by his popularity boost for not sucking Trump's dick over Iran - despite the hate he got from the press.
The Criminal Justice bill is 30 years old and was Tory legislation. I remember marching against it at the time, and I've attended countless raves since.
This wild idea perpetuated in the US that we live in some sort of Police State is absurd. Source: me, my friends and family and almost everyone I know who actually live here.
Keir was one of the few who (finally) stood up to that blustering man-child that you guys have. Labour are far, far from perfect, but to say they're more right wing than UKIP is a seriously odd take.
Borther 30 years 60 years, it does not matter; you are sending swat to raves literally this week. under labor, for a law written by monty python that literally criminalizes every single march or statistically every group of 20^2 people walking in any given space..
It's not the US, it's the entire rest of the world. All europeans make fun of your prison island. Heck the only reason most European countries interacted with you all pre-brexit was because you were on the right side of WWII... eventually.
Are you quite a police state? You are the closest thing one could describe as a police state, from prison time for criticizing the government, saying the UK shouldn't participate in a genocide, to not being able to buy a butter knife without ID.
The only thing you are missing is harsher punishments for your ridiculous 'crimes,' but I think that might actually cause a revolution in your country.
Keir is a blustering man child, and a genocidal monster.
And no, plenty of leaders have stood up to Trump, the UK was slow on the uptake to that but the world has been resisting Trump.
UKIP does not support Israel's genocide, somehow. The Labour Party, after removing all the progressives and socialists because of 'antiemitism' does. Actively endorsing and participating in genocide makes you more right wing that just planning and endorsing one.
Whatever man. I live and work here, and my lived experience couldn't be further than your selective hyperbole.
