      Yea well it is one thing to have an openly fascist president and another thing to have one that claims to be Labour but is just a seat warmer for extreme right. Don’t know which is more preferable. Maybe the first one is better because the more outrageous it looks the more resistance it gets? The second one is just a weaselly traitor digging trenches for the fascists so might be harder to root out in the long run.

      Man, I could have sworn tons of people said this was a U.S.-only thing.

      Canada sure was confident about “elbows up” while Alberta was talking about seceding for the same reasons.

      No one is immune.

      UK is basically mini-US. they have the same mindset in a lot of questions, mostly economical.

      and poverty is widespread in both of them.
