Lots of things have bothered me, a lot, over time. Brexit, Amazon & Google, Netflix, Trump, AI... But it's only been specifically recently with Musk and Farage that I truly felt scared for my future, my kids future.

Right off the bat we are faced with the full frontal delusion of the average . After his country is bombarded with 1.2 million people a year during a time when COVID had dealt a Mortal Kombat finisher to an economy in terminal Stage IV socialism, the bong sifts past all this to find a single guardian headline about Elon Musk meeting with Farage (The devil himself).

I literally have no idea why he references Netflix. I'm sure it isn't all the they added to our period dramas

The idea that Musk can do trivially choose to give any amount of money to the far right in our country

political donations? Perish the thought! The Supreme Soviet Presidium of SSR Blighty would never take money from wealthy donors

Diagnosing the Collapse

To anyone with eyes, the reason for Britain's demise is completely fricking obvious. To the labour voter, however, this poses a problem since access to young moroccan bussy is a point of personal contention, and so he must invent alternative explanations as to why their Christmas market looks like this:

I'm worried about the UK now. Average British person these days sounds like Oswald Mosely.

We live in a period

I agree we are very far off fascism, but immigration IS used as a scapegoat for everything by a worrying large proportion of politicians and journ*lists.

The same journ*lists who stopped using X because it's 'far-right'? Or was it the ones who Made out that Rwandan mass murderer Axel Rudakubana was a welsh Christian and innocent Choir boy? Perhaps it was the journ*lists who, at risk of prejudicing a trial, invented a Pakistani Migrant superhero who was able to 'wrestle a knife' from an attacker, unharmed and unbloodied with no witnesses, only to deliver a pro-migration homily in a pull-focused interview?

Of course, they're 'scapegoated' because it's literally impossible that immigration could've maybe, perhaps, possibly caused a public finances problem.

Go on uk politics and post anything factually positive about immigrants and you are downmarseyd to oblivion. Ask someone how their life is improved if asylum seekers stop from tomorrow and there is never an answer.

How would this affect you personally? Well, I would stop reading stories about women being r*ped to death in public by somalians, for one thing. Quieter buses for another.

Illegal migration is always going to happen, especially when we frick about in other countries as much as we have done in the past few decades.

It's a fait accompli, comrade! Nothing can be done, we just have to Spend 5.7 billion pounds on asylum seekers because of uhhh George Bush or something

in actual fact the issue has always been a chronic underinvestment in actually useful services

It's because we haven't sacrificed enough blood for the blood god!

Render to the worms what is theirs! Another 50 billion for free dentists in Eritrea

ignore that silly little graph teehee

We've been fricked since Thatcher destroyed the post war consensus

Absolutely bang on!

Oh, it was Thatcher, was it? What an original and thoughtful analysis of 2024 britain

Yes, due to spiralling inequality and breakdown of public services, far-right discourse and violence becoming normalised

Far right discourse is so normalised that a sitting member of parliament had his bank account shut down for being xenophobic

Far right violence is so normalised that a man was given over two years in prison for shouting by the same justice system that let an infant r*pe enthusiast walk free!

The biggest issue for the UK is lack of full access to the EU single market and a customs union.

My biggest worry is creeping hard left socialism.

brave dramatard here baited several to emerge from their slam poetry events

Must be nice, not to have any real problems to worry about.

How many "hard left socialist" parties were successful in the last General Election?

yeah it's just this really fringe party you might not've heard of it

I'd say there's approximately zero chance of the UK adopting any form of socialism in the foreseeable future.

Biggest issue isn't 1 million people coming in every year?

You sound surprised, why should it be the biggest issue?

yeah that's like totally normal, right?

Looks normal to me!

I ain't reading all that:

• The bankers the bonuses the bankers the bonuses it's disgusting, and if the tories were serious they would tax the bankers the bonuses to 90%

I invite !britbongs to weigh in with their own interpretation
