Not to mention the sewage they dump on them.

Can you vote tactically for Lib Dem or Greens without risking more votes going to the Tories?

Mate, we’re under a first past the post system, tactical voting matters to get the most damaging political force, i.e. the Tories, out of power and by a significant majority.

Anything remotely left of the Tories is better, even if it is Centre Centre Centre calling itself Left Labour.

It sounds like it’s ripping the air molecules apart that stand in it’s way because it kinda does.

Awesome machine.

No that was called Energiewende and Ostpolitik

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energiewende#:~:text=Russian fossil gas was perceived,through mutually beneficial trade relations.

https://dgap.org/en/research/publications/after-ostpolitik

The TL:DR was to use cheap Russian gas to fuel the energy transition and at the same time use the economical ties to bring Russia aligned politically to the western Europe. Ostpolitik worked to unify west and east Germany so why wouldn’t it work to align a post-soviet Russia?

Here’s why it failed.

And I believe comrade, that this country will not vote in a communist government. They’d sooner elect a right-wing fascist. Unless you’re within the inner circle of those who manage to overthrow the government in an armed revolution, as a free thinking intellectual you’d likely be shot against a wall.

Most of my fellow countrymen are too thick to understand anything about this and couldn’t care less.

It’s an island of neanderthals and I hope I can get highly skilled enough to leave it.

They feed on toxicity, it’s the only way they know that gets the anger-produced adrenaline flowing through their veins. It’s addictive. Makes them feel alive and living, rather than festering in a rubbish-filled room dying a day at a time.

Yeah it is.

It’s so bad that the Home Office is issuing quotas for “High-priority” crime which is code for solve things that make the news headlines: large scale drug busts, charging murderers, seizing large sums of cash and assets.

But they’re completely deprioritising other crimes from bike theft to shoplifting to domestic violence and reducing the amount of community engagement activities.

Addressing smaller crimes and having officers engaged with the community is essential for fostering a safe environment. And here’s the kicker; the more these low-level crimes go unpunished, the more high-level crimes happen are more likely to happen when fuelled by economic downturn.
