Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Funny thing is terf island doesn't even need that, they can literally create more money to pay for both things, the central bank can issue unlimited pounds. But they'd rather simultaneously fund war and murder people with disabilities than only fund war.
"MPs vote to kill people"
These are the famous Western values that we've been hearing so much about.
Surely, with their precious genocide money, they can afford services... oh wait, they're just evil all round
the weirdest part of the UK is that it's seemingly the most dysfunctional country currently. Like, they had some of the biggest tech and industrial headstarts you can imagine, and somehow they managed to learn fuck all. The second their empire stopped sending them tribute, their country began a slow collapse, which we're now seeing accelerate. I genuinely struggle to think of a worse example of how to run a country, and it's seemingly done for no reason. The people who are destroying the country aren't even making out like bandits, like we saw in Russia after the murder of the Soviet Union, but is done entirely for ideological reasons. And when the ideology runs into the simple material fact that their thinking is plainly wrong, they just double down and do more of the same. It's maddening!
because we're run by the boys from st noncingtons school for boys and men which costs 2 billion pounds a semester which for some reason isn't friendly to those without
yeah but that's my point. You can show the St. Noncingtons School for Boys and Men the numbers that prove that their way of doing things is obviously not working. But even when shown the data, they just double and triple down to a degree that I struggle to fathom. And I hope that you guys figure out a way to make your leaders understand it soon, since it seems my prime minister is hellbent on following in your footsteps (I believe my country is currently where you guys were in 2014, so things aren't looking good).
because it works for them

If imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, it stands to reason that if you take away the imperialism it’s no bueno
That's not what "imperialism" in the context of "imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism" means. Britain is still doing imperialism/in the imperialist stage of capitalism, it just doesn't have an "empire" in the same sense as the Romans had an empire.
I was being glib
they had some of the biggest tech and industrial headstarts you can imagine, and somehow they managed to learn fuck all
Why would they learn anything when they had headstarts? Learning is for backward countries, who have a choice to learn or perish.
I would argue that Spain was even worse post-empire but it doubt the UK has hit rock bottom yet
At this point it seems like we're just figuring out new ways to cull the disabled every 5 years.
On Monday (1 July), the government confirmed that cuts will only impact new disability benefit claimants, while current claimants will be protected.
Shit is very bad but at least it will only affect new claims. I can see a court case happening down the line to determine what a "current claimant" really is when they fuck with some people though.
fingers crossed it could be killed at third stage
Bosses do this with union contracts too, to create tiers with differing interests, splitting and dissipating the opposition
Yeah the ghouls in charge are basically running anti-leftist organising tactics. They have been doing so since the antizionism purges.
Well that's a new and terrible thing to worry about. I hadn't thought of that.
On the plus side the court tends to come down against the government on benefits really often. I expect there will be some fuckery at some point and then the court will come down against the gov for it.
I hope so.
Right in lockstep with its imperial handler!
The rich could spit in our faces and libs would thank them for rain.
Guy Fawkes did nothing wrong
He failed, that's one wrong.
We need a Guy Fawkes #2.
Can't wait to 
these tories out
Thr IRA did nothing wrong Br*tish cars deserved worse unlimited genocide upon the royal family and their collaborators.
Dame Meg Hillier, who chairs the Treasury select committee and was a originally a key rebel, said “divided parties don’t hold power” and that claimed that if Labour members want to see their values played out in this country “we need to vote for this today”.
We need unity and power so we can ram through more ghoulshit policies.
I'm not kidding when I say this, kill these people.
Blow up parliament.
we should actually have a fawkes emote
would be a little weird to have an emote of a guy who tried (badly) to assassinate a king in order to put a different monarch on the throne on a communist forum
we 
only 
have 
emotes 
of 
communist 
heroes 
ok, fair point
holy shit you have a lot of emotes
Looks like the whip was cracked https://www.theyworkforyou.com/divisions/pw-2025-07-01-248-commons
When Suella “homelessness is a lifestyle choice” Braverman votes ‘no’ you have to question what you’re doing surely.
Ok porky, one less SCARY government program scaring all the jobs away. Now you’ll get in the hiring mood again, right?
Right?
