If the upcoming UK general election on the 4th July finally releases us from 14 gruelling years of Tory rule I will for the rest of my life, as a Brit, call it and celebrate it as Independence Day.

I’m not even joking.

so who had the government violating human rights law because they hate poor people on their 2023 tory bingo?

yeah so this piece by robert booth just got published in the guardian and it begins as such:

which is not at all surprising because yeah the government really hates poor people here. like as in one of the "solutions" to rising in homelessness in cities is to just,, buy unhoused people a one way train ticket to somewhere else.

its good to know that weve officially reached the level of violating international law. and by good, i dont know what i mean either.

anyway, booth goes on to say:

he is, of course, incredibly correct, and im highkey obsessed with him calling the welfare state "a leaking bucket".

obviously, the government gave a response of:

but did also go on to say this:

which doesnt really strengthen their argument. if anything, it actively hampers it.

it is also incredibly funny that the government's response to being accused of human rights violations due to the poverty in their country by the guy whose job involves being the go-to expert on human rights and poverty is akin to a child saying they didnt steal the chocolate that is staining their clothes and their hands and also they are still eating it.

please join me in pointing and laughing. at least, we have that.

de schutter actually offers solutions of his own within the article:

these, of course, famously being loved by tories. loved so much that they just forgot to do any of it during the last 13 years.

yeah, its been 13 fucking years.

if you dont use your vote to vote them out at the next general election, i will break your kneecaps with a rounders bat.

anyway, robert booth finishes the article off with:

and wheres the fucking lie? it hits the nail on the head so accurately, its honestly as impressing as it is depressing.

obviously, this isnt the entire article and i would implore you to read all of it.

i dont exactly have my hopes up for the government actually doing anything to effectively address poverty, but hey, you never know.

guys we can’t be mad at rishi sunak for picking a fight with david tennant he didn’t have sky tv he probably didn’t see doctor who

It’s not even comedically bad or something it’s just plain cruelty now

If you live in the UK right now I seriously urge you to fill out this consultation.

The government and the rail operating companies intend to close nearly 1000 train station ticket offices because they deem them "a waste of money". This is not true. Ticket offices are important, not only to people that are unable to buy their tickets online but most importantly to disabled people. Ticket staff and station attendants are the ones responsible for providing accessible literature and information about travel and helping people board and leave trains safely and securely. Furthermore, they deal with station security, should an accident happen at the station, the ticket staff are first to attend. The government and the train operating companies want to shut these vital services down which will not only make thousands of people redundant but also make the railways a much less safe place to travel.

If you're not from the uk please boost this.

Why Is the Doctor Crying This Time? -- A brief analysis of Doctor Who Special #5: 'Joy To The World'

I have seen a few people confused about how emotional the Doctor became at the death of the Silurian hotel manager. Here's my take/understanding:

The pain he feels when unable to save someone is a fundamental aspect of the Doctor's character, in my opinion. He has a deep love and appreciation for all things, especially living things. He's seen so many innocent creatures lose their lives, especially due to the greed of others, and said others' complete disregard for lives outside of their own. He may pretend to be okay, or he may compartmentalize and not allow himself to process until later, but it will never not completely devastate him to see that happen, especially when it's happening right in front of him, and there's nothing he can do to help.

Just like Joy's mum died of COVID, completely alone in the hospital, while the Tories who made the social distancing rules were out having wine parties at the same time during lockdown, Villengard let an unknown number of hosts die for the briefcase and had no regard for the world-ending event they knew they'd cause with the detonation of the star, simply because they knew it would give them unlimited power and bring them business.

One could even argue that it's sort of Biblical, especially if you want to make that Jesus & the Star bit at the end connect some more; in the Bible, Jesus died as a sacrifice for the salvation of all, and in Doctor Who, so did Joy. They were both kind, despite often being filled with anger and/or fear. They both died at the hands of rich & powerful people with little care for the lives of others, and they both they rose ("the flesh shall rise") again, and in doing so, they saved all the citizens of Earth.

In shows like Dr. Who, I've found that sometimes the metaphors for fighting against fascism and fighting for your fellow man are seemingly never-ending. In my perspective, this special is no exception, and all the storylines can be joined together to come to the same general conclusion.

The End (at least, for now)

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! ❤️🎄

*Note: This post is not a form of sub-tweet (sub-...blog?) or an attempt to start something; rather, it is simply a collection of my thoughts. While I will nearly always accept constructive criticism and discussion, I will not accept cruelty or rudeness. I hope you enjoy this analysis, but if you don't, and if you have nothing nice to say about it, I implore you not to say anything at all, and please just scroll away. You can DM your friends about how crazy I am, but you don't have to tell me, I know it already. Thank you ❤️

It's weird how absolutely insane politicians can be. For example, there's a massive economic crisis in the UK, poverty is rising and people are using food banks more than ever, then meanwhile Rishi Sunak is like "trans people exist?! NOOOOOO 😡😡😡😡😡😡"

[spiltcandycoatedpunkblood]

people complaining about David Tennant and his Doctors' now after what he said about trans rights and Kemi Badenoch like,,, at the very least, did you not see the 60th anniversary specials? or understand anything about them? you didn't expect him to say what he said JUST NOW???
