    If I were to describe the UK, it would be as three and a bit countries in a trench coat and the country in control of the legs are constantly trying to run onto a busy motorway no matter what.

    The UK has always been Orwellian, it’s just the way they justify their Orwellian shit that changes. This is the third government I’ve lived under that has advocated for ID Cards and the next government (Reform) is going to use this and the OSA to absolutely fuck people over.

        They’re currently leading the Polls right now, so if an election is held right now they’re likely going to be the next government. If fortunes change for them that might not be the case but shit looks grim.

        Unfortunately I have to agree, they are incredibly popular with most people outside of cities. Best case it will be a coalition, and not pure reform.

        I witnessed a reform voter driving past with a megaphone the other day, screaming about stopping the boats/sending them back etc, this was the middle of nowhere aswell.

        Between this and the privacy worries, the UK is spiralling.

          Is there any data to back this up? The general election isn’t for ages and we’ve just collectively decided that these idiots can have power next because it’s their turn…?
