Goddamn, UK. What the fuck happened to you? Only one of us is allowed to be a fascist hellhole at any one time.

    We offshored our manufacturing base except for a few high tech military areas, so now we’re highly reliant on supplying all sides in the Middle East, as you can’t actually build an economy entirely around services.

    This is somewhat of a myth. The UK is currently in the top 10 manufacturing nations, and it’s worth £500bn

    The biggest sector is engineering (half of all Ford diesel engines, Mini, JLR, Toyota, Nissan, Aston-Martin, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Rolls-Royce, JCB, Siemens, Hitachi, BAE, Airbus, various defence companies). The only F1 team without UK engineering is Ferrari.

    Pharma includes GSK and AstraZeneca, ships at Harland & Wolff and Cammell-Laird, high-end tech such as Sony film & broadcast equipment. Of course Henry.

    We were hoping they’d come to our rescue if it comes to that, but now it looks more like they’re gonna play Japan in WW3.

    Honestly, I wasn't. Maybe France again, or Germany if they can keep it together. Not the UK though. They really haven't been doing any better than us. They just didn't have the loud orange man in charge.

    They seem to be speed running things, since we haven't had this issue in the US yet. We can openly and publicly oppose what Israel is doing.

    That would be totally unprecedented in the history of the empire. I'm sure it will be fine.

    Please, drive your car to work.

    Don’t worry, they’re just following orders.

    Does this also mean that the incels who attend Andrew Tate's online 'university' seminars will be arrested for human trafficking?

    I didn't think so.

    Do you think the police get off doing this or do you think they're embarrassed by it.

    Because this is the most pathetic fascist state to ever exist. All it would take would be being slightly implied to the idiots and not just immediately giving in the moment they turn up and it would be all over for them. They basically just expect compliance the genuinely wouldn't know what to do if people fought back

    Maybe don't support a proscribed group that ram-raids factories with workers inside, attacks people with sledgehammers, or breaks into RAF bases and destroys the engines of jets.

    I've attended a number of pro-palestine protests and marches, and supported a number of other pro-Palestine groups, and no action has been taken against them.

    Tankies, you may downvote now.
