Fair comment.

Can’t be a climate crisis if no one is talki by about it.

Farage is meant to have said he doesn’t have any problems with Starmer, so yeah…I don’t imagine we’re going to get Green, and Reform are even worse than the Cons.

Best health care in the world, I’ve heard. /s

Anyone got the none paywall version?

I keep talking about this whenever it’s vaguely relevant to spread knowledge, especially amongst my fellow Brits.

In the 1980s Thatcher, our then PM, decided to have a war with the National Union of Mineworkers…they were the largest union in the country and held too much power.

So strikes went on for years and coppers were marking cars and pulling them over if thought that they were on their way to a strike….

There was a strike at a coking plant in a place called Orgreave, and it was the complete opposite, with coppers even guiding people on where to park.

So strikers are milling about, doing striker things, and the coppers attacked the strikers, then the BBC played the footage that they recorded backwards, to make it look like the strikers attacked the coppers. There was recently a documentary on it called Miners Strike 1984; The Battle for Britain, and a film on it called Faith.

I’m from the U.K. I’m not going to disagree.

Our tears now, comrade.

Having been the victims, they now fancy being the oppressors.

Then what is the point?

I find it amazing these old diseases we are getting back. Proper nostalgic.

I was being mildly sarcastic, but thank you for what you’ve said. You’ve given me a greater understanding.
