Well he’s going to need all that money to pay his water bill! Have you seen the rate they’re going up?

Using this account more for forum-interaction, if I say anything I think is interesting here I’ll likely boost it there.

@Anamnesis@lemmy.world The British People don’t want it at all, but we are ruled by fuckheads who can only get their seat by accepting bribes from private health companies.
@flamingos@feddit.uk That’s why the sudden rush-move. Calling the election before enough letters can arrive to have him kicked out.
@AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space More like exposing him really. Let him talk to damn himself.
The british public are pretty conservative, but the tory party are a fucking wrecking ball and no conservative should vote conservative if they want to conserve things.
@Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 🤞
@Jackthelad@lemmy.world Yeah, it’d just be easier to reset than to sort through good from bad. Can always re-assess any good ones. Chances are even they can be done better.
Resetting the Brexit and other foreign treaty stuff could be quite tricky in practice too.
If only there really was a party offering to undo every law the conservative and coalition governments have passed and return us to a time before they existed.
That party would be the best party.
Sadly that isn’t on offer and even Labour intend to keep this mess of a country mostly without any reverting of changes at all.
There’s literally no way to know what a Labour government will be like. All we know about Starmer is that he’s prepared to lie and say whatever he thinks he needs to say to get power.
Was he lying to the left to get selected? Or is he lying to the right now to get elected?
🤷
Even to whatever extent they have described any policies at all, they’re probably just lies.
Still. The mystery prize will indeed be better than yet more crazed Tories. I suspect just not all that different.
In the first term of a Labour government they will maybe be a bit less hostile towards the EU but they won’t be re-joining or anything. They’ll have no mandate to do so since they worry putting it in a manefesto would alienate their red-wall voters.
As it currently looks Labour won’t do much of anything at all. Continue tory spending plans, refuse to raise any taxes, not rebuild any schools, not make any changes which may affect the social order or reform capitalism in any way.
Expect 4 years of calm with almost nothing happening. Which in itself will be quite a relief.
@Oneeightnine The only horrific thing he has to do is look like he’ll lose the election.
For what it’s worth, I too have no confidence that Sunak will win the election, thank goodness.
Those submitting letters to the committee now probably never liked Sunak in the first place, some may have even submitted them on day one when they were just angry at him ousting BoJo.
Of course they do, Labour will be the ones passing the laws in a couple of years and they’ve shown under their current leadership they are no threat to established interests and will do nothing to change the order of things and since the party has lost so many members it needs the money.
@JohnEdwa What happens is that people move to other instances and maybe start one with their friends, happens all the time.
Account migration will come to lemmy/kbin, and group-migration is really as easy as saying “Hey everyone, here’s the new address”
@MasterBlaster You’ll be able to have your favourite ones without having to also subscribe to that one with that idiot who won’t shut up about it. Conversations are better with lots of small groups than one big stage.
@bfr0 There were also multiple gaming communities within reddit, lets face it. Can’t herd people all into one place even if there’s only one website they’ll find a way to schism
@psylancer If you got 100 million users so that it’s costing 400 million dollars a year, then ideally you need one million servers with 100 users on each. They need to all pass around a hat between their 100 users to raise the 50 dollars in server costs a month.
@Acetamide Reddit has been pretty terrible for years, I’m excited rather than sad to see their demise.
@neblem Really? So you don’t need to actually do a follow like you would in the Microblogging apps to federate?
Interesting. Presumably it must do some kind of subscribe/follow in the background?
🤷 I’ve mostly used it for MAME anyway.
