Goddamn, UK. What the fuck happened to you? Only one of us is allowed to be a fascist hellhole at any one time.

We were hoping they’d come to our rescue if it comes to that, but now it looks more like they’re gonna play Japan in WW3.

Honestly, I wasn't. Maybe France again, or Germany if they can keep it together. Not the UK though. They really haven't been doing any better than us. They just didn't have the loud orange man in charge.

Yeah really brexit and Boris we’re the clear signs, but I was hoping things would improve with their last elections.

Sadly, the Fascists are going global :(

The billionaires are playing the same propaganda everywhere :/

We offshored our manufacturing base except for a few high tech military areas, so now we’re highly reliant on supplying all sides in the Middle East, as you can’t actually build an economy entirely around services.

This is somewhat of a myth. The UK is currently in the top 10 manufacturing nations, and it’s worth £500bn

The biggest sector is engineering (half of all Ford diesel engines, Mini, JLR, Toyota, Nissan, Aston-Martin, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Rolls-Royce, JCB, Siemens, Hitachi, BAE, Airbus, various defence companies). The only F1 team without UK engineering is Ferrari.

Pharma includes GSK and AstraZeneca, ships at Harland & Wolff and Cammell-Laird, high-end tech such as Sony film & broadcast equipment. Of course Henry.

A nation's engineering sector mostly built on military doesn't inspire much confidence in me.

I thought you did all the banki- ohhhh. Right. Yeah.

That sucks, yeah.

They seem to be speed running things, since we haven't had this issue in the US yet. We can openly and publicly oppose what Israel is doing.

MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 266d (1 reply)

You can oppose Israel in the UK still, you just can't be associated with the specific group "Palestine Action"

For now. Til you get caught and declared terrorists.

That would be totally unprecedented in the history of the empire. I'm sure it will be fine.

Please, drive your car to work.

sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 266d (1 reply)

I'm down for a history lesson. What other unarmed "terrorists" have they targeted?

Also, I'm stupid so bear with me. Is that a car bomb joke?

cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 266d

God no, that would be in such poor taste. Free palestine (or else)

SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 39 pts · 267d

Don’t worry, they’re just following orders.

oeuf@slrpnk.net · 33 pts · 267d

Does this also mean that the incels who attend Andrew Tate's online 'university' seminars will be arrested for human trafficking?

I didn't think so.

echodot@feddit.uk · 10 pts · 266d

Do you think the police get off doing this or do you think they're embarrassed by it.

Because this is the most pathetic fascist state to ever exist. All it would take would be being slightly implied to the idiots and not just immediately giving in the moment they turn up and it would be all over for them. They basically just expect compliance the genuinely wouldn't know what to do if people fought back

The video was taken on September 2 according to the Gestapo taking him in. I am not sure when it was posted online, I only came across it today.

Maybe don't support a proscribed group that ram-raids factories with workers inside, attacks people with sledgehammers, or breaks into RAF bases and destroys the engines of jets.

I've attended a number of pro-palestine protests and marches, and supported a number of other pro-Palestine groups, and no action has been taken against them.

Tankies, you may downvote now.

You may scream, but never actually resist.
