OK BUT ALSO THE UK VERSION OF THIS PLEASE

I am so fucking pissed to be an almost 24/7 carer and too fucking burned out to do anything practical about the absolute fucking bullshit that Labour is pulling at the minute. We need to fight this or we will lose the scraps of the welfare state (and all that once made Britain great ©️ Grace Petrie) that we have left

Can anybody give these old-ass Democrats protest lessons? They're acting like they're still living in pre-2015 politics when the GOP gave a shit and wasn't deranged.

A member gets up and starts shouting: All get up and shout with him.

Don't walk out: MAKE them carry you all out, not shutting up the entire time. I'm serious, go limp, be dead weight.

Putin's Puppet says a provable lie: Everyone chant "LIE" in unison for a solid minute instead of holding pitiful little signs in front of a man who can't read above a 3rd grade level.

Have someone who knows ASL sitting with you, interpreting everything in full view.

If you're gonna hold signs, make them BIG like you're actually trying to do something. Have them in multiple languages.

Make other signs that say clever or cutting things that will make him rage for days. "DOESN'T OLD TRUMP LOOK TIRED?" or "PUPPET PRESIDENT" or "EVERYONE IS FACT-CHECKING THIS SPEECH TRUMP DIDN'T WRITE" or "THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES" or his current tanking approval rating next to a laughing emoji.

Make a stink every day in congress, throw as many bills as you can on the floor even if they go nowhere, look like you're trying.

Have someone, idk maybe someone you actually want to boost for President in 3 gd years, be your voice of opposition in the media, loudly complaining and telling the facts, every single day. Let the people know you're there!

How hard is this? There's probably better suggestions than mine if they actually hired seasoned protestors or behaviorists/psychologists or even the biggest teenage troll they can find on a messageboard.

The Emperor Has No Clothes. So fucking act like it.

Right Wing Media: Labour are targeting the poorest and most vulnerable in this country! Disgusting!!!

Me: You're right we should really be taxing the rich more so that we can help those poor and vulnerable people.

Right Wing Media: But then all the rich people will leave and our economy will tank! What a stupid idea! Go back to Russia you fucking commie.

Me:

The way Wes Streeting is saying that young people shouldn't see GPs if they are sick and instead seek out AI so pensioners can take the available appointments with the GPs.... AI is literally known to say drink bleach to people and will not have the medical training that a GP will when it comes to whatever the young person needs to see them about, holy shit the government is really showing hate for young people in dangerous ways.

[ID 1: a photo of Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman, making a peace sign with the caption: "I can't believe that I asked politicians to include asexuality in their policy and it actually worked. I can never be entirely sure of who is truly listening and whether it'll have the impact I hoped for, and it really did this time."

ID 2: Caption from Yasmin continues: "I didn't realize they were actually going to announce this at their party conference so it was such a positive surprise, in a time where there aren't many of those." Below is text reading: "Liberal Democrats call for asexual protections in new agenda," with a tweet from Yasmin reading: "Liberal Democrats for Ace Rights! It's amazing to see the LibDems explicitly advocating for asexual inclusion in the conversion therapy ban, combating our medicalization as a disorder that needs fixing, and acknowledging the need for our inclusion in the curriculum!" End ID.]

Everyone say THANK YOU YASMIN BENOIT

One. Billion. Pounds.

Labour has previously called the hundreds of millions of pounds in redundancy payouts presided over by Tory health secretary Andrew Lansley in the reforms of 2012-13 a “colossal waste” of public funds. Lansley’s reforms led to the creation of NHS England, which Labour has described as the world’s biggest quango and which is now being disbanded.

Tell you what: drop this bullshit, tax the wealthy just a tiny bit more, and leave PIP alone????

[coreythegremlin]

the loss of public toilets in the UK can't be separated from the destruction of NHS dentistry and the scaling back of the welfare system. all these things cost money, which has to come from somewhere. you're already paying a shit ton of tax and the capitalist class doesn't want its businesses to pay more tax. it's easy enough to get rid of public amenities by underfunding local government though, and people will gradually get used to the lack of public toilets etc as just the way it is
