I actually wasn't going to go, because it's an enormous pain for me to get in to London, but you know what, I'm tempted to go now.
The prime minister has criticised the timing of the demonstration in London as “provocative and disrespectful”.
If he thinks Protesting for a cease fire on Armistice day is disrespectful. Wait till he finds out what Armistice means.
"There's something particularly askew with an argument that says a protest calling for a ceasefire is somehow inappropriate on Armistice Day"
Ya think? Totally on brand for Sunak, Braverman and other genocide denying bigots, though 🤬
From my Canadian vantage point it seems Britain needs a raft of new politicians who aren't rich dumbfucks.
Mind you the same thing can be said for almost every nation rn ... including mine.
Same from my vantage point in Denmark, on all counts 😕
At this point I think we would honestly be better off being led by actual fascists. It wouldn't make any difference politically but at least they would admit it.
Calling for a literal armistice on armistice day. Whats next? Starting the new year on new years day?
Careful! That kind of thinking might lead to a competent government if it spreads too much!
Funny how the press banged on for months about Gordon Brown being unelected and having no mandate, whereas this out-of-touch sack of shit billionaire human-impersonator gets a free pass.
Rishi Sunak? Didn't his ultra-rich FIL promote a 70 hour work week?
Yeah. So I guess that old average about opposites attracting doesn't really work. His whole adopted family are as scummy is he is.
Rishi Sunak is a pawn of the rich who will do anything to distract from the fact that he hates poor people and people who protest.
Well he has to because he hasn't got a clue how to do the job. Remember he lost the election to Truss.
He's what you get when you finish scraping the bottom of the barrel. He's the murky stain that's left behind. Somehow despite the practically subterranean bar he had to clear to be better than his two predecessors, he's managing to be even worse than expected.
Rishi Sunak has morphed from one of the most useless prime ministers we've had in living memory. To the most hateful prime minister we've ever had in history.
It's impressive how he's managed to take his spineless attitude and somehow turn it into hate.
He's still a complete wet blanket underneath it all of course, this is all Cruella's fault, but he hasn't fired her he is allowing this and he is endorsing this behaviour.
