I also find it interesting that the British media seems more universally pro-Ukraine than the American media, even though the US is the one pushing and funding the war
I’ve also observed the same. Don’t forget British politicians also actively visiting Ukraine and all. Either yanks are using them as a battering ram, or it was more of a British project to begin with. Perhaps a compensation for Brexit?
Yes, lots of factors could be at play, historically the UK always intervenes in European affairs if it feels anti-British forces are becoming too powerful. This is only multiplied by Brexit.
The UK is also doing horrifically, by all metrics, on track to shrink their GDP, I read somewhere their welfare per capita has also managed to fall to even behind the US in some respects. Their prestige is shrinking, made clear by their inability to get even a fraction of their ex colonies to sanction Russia. Their heavy industry and tech have all been sold to the Germans, Italians, and French. They are a great power in decline. They have to lash out now, the Torries have to make a stand to play up nationalistim. It’s just a shit show. It’s their only option to remain relevant, and maybe get some negotiating power for future EU talks. Also the Torries are gonna get annihilated if Ukraine looses after sending all the arms and money to em, they are gambling their future on Ukraine, if it works maybe the UK can stave off implosion for another few decades.
polls say the tories will lose badly if an election was held tomorrow, unfortunately that just means Starmer in power and some rearranging of the deck chairs.
Spitting Image got Starmer nailed down to a T. The guy is a cucked lib with a persecution complex, constantly blaming everyone except himself for the horrific state Labour is in. Day one he’d stub his toe and say this is the result of the Torries deregulating safety, and the greedy union workers that striking for better pay.
