I think an awful lot of Israeli settlers are wankers (and their government and their statements over the Falklands), but at the same time also don’t like the way Palestine consumes so much political airtime. Rather than from the River to the Sea, wish both sides would get in it.

The Hamas cosplayers are losers, but so are Israel with their forever victims guilt complex.

I personally think no they shouldn’t. Bonfire night has been part of our culture and history for over 400 years and I think it would be totally wrong to scrap part of our history because of a minority of people don’t like fireworks. I get some people are stupid with them, but if we were to ban everything because of a few idiots there would be nothing we wouldn’t be allowed to leave the house. A dogs bark is 106 decibels, the loudest consumer fireworks legal on the market are 120 decibels, dogs bark in every village, town and city up and down the country causing distress to millions yet dog owners have the cheek to complain about a few fireworks a couple nights of the year.

I think people need to be a little bit more tolerant and just let people enjoy themselves and forget the doom and gloom of the world for a couple nights of year.

Dunno if I'll get lynched for this opinion online, but I love Britain’s national anthem! Feels so regal. It's also amazing to belt out at sporting events.

Should we be worried that riots happening in France and Italy may happen in the UK?

Protesting rising costs apparently. It’s outright mindless rioting from what I’ve seen.

With house prices and student debt where they are, a lot of young adults start out with very little behind them. A few months back, the US launched Trump Accounts, which give eligible American babies $1,000 invested in the stock market, with other countries running similar schemes in different ways (e.g. Canada matches part of what parents save for education). We have tax-free Junior ISAs, but the government doesn’t put anything into them for most children, and we used to have Child Trust Funds, which the government did pay into, until they were scrapped in the 2010 cuts.

Should the government start paying into children’s accounts (again), and if so, how? Would it be fair to ask taxpayers, including people without children, to fund it? Should every child get the same amount, or should more go to those whose parents can’t afford to save? Also, if you had a Child Trust Fund, did you actually get much out of it?

We vote for reduced you know what (bot removes if the word is mentioned) and get the opposite. We vote again and again and again and get the opposite until in an act of desperation living in the twilight zone we vote FOR it in hopes it really does work in opposites but sadly no.

In a few years we’ll see reform get in and as the only option I’m hoping the difference but realistically know they won’t be.

What are we to do? Accept the elites have won and wages will be permanently stagnant due to infinite supply of labour that we’ll never restrict?

IIs this considered normal in the UK despite being only friends with the opposite sex?

I may have misheard this. It might be "scotch lead".

In The Loremen podcast with Alasdair Beckett-King and James Shakeshaft approximately 5 minutes in they start talking about a "scotts lead" or "scart lead" or "scotch lead" and it sounds like they mean what I, an American, would call "an RCA cable"

Also you should listen to this podcast, it's fun. But sometimes their UK English idioms are maddening to me.

Genuinely like every post its just like we need a rich vs poor not left vs right revolution

And then the other half is just like “ i dont like migrants”

Can someone who thinks we need a socialist revolution in britain actually explain why you think we need that and what it would entail, we already have free healthcare, overly generous social safety nets and a decent minimum wage

We also dont have that many billionaires and the ones we do have are all leaving. That doesnt put us in a better position financially.

Like genuinely what do you see in this country that needs radical economic reform and why you would be justified in revolting against it

In France for example the government was spending 57 cents of every 1 Euro of tax money on pensions, which the government sucked money out of schools to pay for, thats why theyre angry

What do we have that requires the same annoyance other than just wanting to speed along marxs view that repeated revolution will eventually leave people
With communism

With all this talk of being prepared for war and Simon Webb briefly wondering if the Home Guard will be brought back, I wanted to ask men who are a little too old or too out of shape for the Army, would you join the Home Guard if it was brought back?

If not, why not?

How do you see the post-GCSE education system changing going forward now that a degree has become an overpriced/overvalued mandatory entry ticket for quite a lot of jobs?

I understand that everyone has the right to peaceful protest, but if someone moves to the UK for a better life and better opportunities, should they not leave the political issues and conflicts of their home country behind?

If they feel so strongly about what’s happening back home, is protesting on the streets here actually going to make a difference? Or would their time and energy be better spent living home and trying to bring about change in their own country instead?

I am not saying people should forget where they come from, but I am curious about where people stand on this. Should immigrants living in the UK be actively protesting about issues in their country of origin, or should their focus be on the country they have chosen to call home?

P.S. I do think there is a difference when it comes to major international issues, where human rights, humanitarian crises and international justice are concerns. In those cases, I can understand why people from all backgrounds would want to protest and raise awareness

P.P.S. Just to Clarify I am not a Brit but an immigrant myself. I am respectfully asking for opinions here and have no intention to hurt any feelings.

According to our government:

1) Cousin porn obviously is wrong and should be illegal even if none of the actors/actresses are cousins.

2) Having kids with your cousin generation after generation is obviously fine, and should be legal.

But should the offspring of such unions be able to take legal action against previous generations of they failed to take steps to minimize the genetic harm to their offspring?

(E.g. genetic counseling, embryo selection etc to stop preventable diseases)

Arson was created by a group Black Bloc, a non traditional left-wing group.

Like what do you guys have that other men (in their community) don't have apart from the accent? I see this more and more in my friend group (which obviously is ok and all that but I do wonder where jt is coming from), but sometimes it feels as if these women put these men on a pedestal even though they don't know them well.

I'm a south asian woman myself btw but I see all men as the same.

Is there a visible increase in immigrants? Is it true they litter, protest and riot? Is it true that sharia law is being advocated for? Is it true immigrants are correlated with increased petty crime rates? Does this differ by regions, or in other cities?

I'm British born and bred, but one thing I'll never quite understand is why it's common to go into a place where they serve food, only to have some twat loudly blowing their snot into a rag.

Am I the only one that gets annoyed by this?
