    It is every country, though this brand of Tories have been particular China fans. George Osborne especially. Even Trump knew not to get the Chinese to build your key infrastructure.

    There’s never going to be a war against China. And if there was they’d have two of the top three militaries on their side and control shit like telecoms and nuclear power stations in our countries. Like it or not they can do what they want in part thanks to our government kissing their ass for...

    The EU is some intangible *foreign* thing. The NHS is what just saved your nans life. The two aren’t comparable. I know there’s this meme that the right wing press have magic mind control powers but in reality they just play to people’s base interests that already exist.

    Their military don’t think it’s weird shit and there ain’t nobody who can tell them different.

    One thing I hope that comes out of this is edgy shock jock columnists like Toby Young and Brendan O’Neil stop getting attention and are exposed for the ludicrous contrarians they are. Ideally some of the loonier left as well.

    I hope that includes delivery drivers, warehouse staff and retail workers as well. Real chance for some good old fashioned solidarity right now. Not sure the current unions are up to the job mind.

    Now that’s where the real political hay is made IMO.

    When a Tory PM is out clapping the NHS it’s not about numbers. Anyone arguing for a change will need to have some proof though, and I’m confident they won’t find it. The emotional tie to the NHS after this will be huge. From national religion to cult. Apparently in Westminster the populist view...

    Im willing to let it take the Pepsi challenge against literally every other healthcare system in the world on a per capita cost basis and see who thinks that afterwards. I suspect the mere mention of the words “US style healthcare” will be enough for most people.

    Ultimately they’ll lose it elsewhere as people aren’t shitting any more than they were. Food consumption at home is up something like 60% during lockdown though (more if my eating habits are representative). Lots of winners though, Zoom stock is through the roof. As an online business we’ve had...

    Doubt it. So much of their new vote is personal and social media bubbles seem to make culty politicians immune to criticism.

    Yeah it’s the dark economy that worries me, interesting they outright banned lay offs, the food voucher thing I’d expect to see over here is that brand new for the pandemic or have they always had some kind of voucher system they’ve expanded?
