Fighting the forces of evil one social media post at a time. He/Him. Scottish not British. Treat others as you would want to be treated. But if you spout any religious nonsense, while I'll try and be civil, no promises. #wealth_tax_or_guillotines

Well Trump was involved so what did you expect? I usually go with the complete opposite of whatever nonsense he's spewing.

Good. Thanks for the enlightened reply. Go back to your cognitive bias echo chamber I guess.

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 6h

I don't follow. What?

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 7h

The pair of them can fuck right off. God forbid they should do something useful to earn their wages.

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 7h

Yep. I joked about a similar point before I saw this.

To blow up the energy pipelines? May as well take the water ones out while we're at it.

But she got us a great deal in the EU. So at least we have that. Oh wait...

Hands up if you shorted the dollar as soon as Trump was re-elected.

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 7h

You should legalise cannabis for sure. It's everywhere anyway. May as well tax it.

The doomsday preppers?

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 11h

There is no economic reason for austerity.
Enough already!
I'm about ready to rise up. How about you?

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 11h

...will have nothing to lose. And we all (should) know what happens then.

Wealth tax or guillotines.

Of course it is. Aging population, declining birth rate and plenty of space for immigrants.
If the super rich paid a fair amount of tax, they'd still have more than they could ever spend and we could level up the rest of the country.
We're fast approaching the point where the working class..

This is the start of civil war 2.0. States protecting citizens from Trump's masked thugs.
Those doomsday preppers are starting to look pretty sane right about now.

Protect are language.

Labour has been a disgrace since getting back in. I hope you get your shot. Canny be worse lol.

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 13h

Couldn't agree more. Perhaps adjust your majority trigger?

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 13h

He might well be changing America forever. I'm thinking Judge Dredd style mega cities once the dust settles from civil war 2.0.

I can appreciate that perspective. But for me it's about the least bad choice. And I figure people don't change that much and polling is probably pretty accurate. Not that it matters where I live. Can't remove that blue stain it seems. Too many farmers.

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 1d

Aye it'll be 1. SNP 2. Green for me next year. It'll be tactical come the general election I suppose. With any luck tactical voting won't be needed. But we'll see. Presumably USA will have imploded by then and that make shake things up here in the UK.

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 1d

All that said, best of luck. You need to get elected. Because the alternative will look a lot like an American dystopia.

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 1d

Pity it's more just/only England and Wales bullshit. I'm sick of being told I'm part of a United Kingdom (which I can't leave) and yet the only party saying the right things is one which doesn't even represent my country. So if you get in hopefully it's not London first, as usual.

We need a press watchdog which can fact check and fine them. And large enough sums of money that it matters to someone worth £800m.
