it’s especially fucked considering how much assistance we had in WW2 from Burmese Gurkhas. Not only did we completely turn our backs on settling them in the UK and awarding citizenships, we’re now completely ignoring this coup

Yeah, this and this is the stuff we know about, just the stuff that western outlets are reporting.

Did you see the footage of the paramedics getting beaten for helping anti-coup protesters? It’s completely fucked.

No I didn’t see it but fuck . That’s ridiculous and horrid .
It’s mad times and as we see more of this stuff we’d never see before thanks to camera phones and the internet, it seems like we are even more powerless to intervene.

Every country/super power is tied up in deals / political bullshit with each other that’s stops them fully from doing something apart from lip service .

It’s bollocks

This stood out to me as one of the biggest piss takes ever.

It’s fucking mental how little they earn for what they do.

1% is less than inflation. A joke.

An unusual case of Westminster doing something after Holyrood.

Our NHS heroes had their 1% pay rise back in February.

I don’t know anyone who is surprised. Never understimate the deep seated ideological hatred that the Tories have for the NHS.

It’s fucking ridiculous, £17 p/hour to sit by a laptop and phone for track and trace But you have to be a Band 6 nurse after 5/6 years to get the same pay .
Most band 6 are senior nurses .

That’s only £32k a year .

It’s fucking scandalous and the tories really are doing a good job of driving people out of the NHS.

A plan to drive them to private medical companies ?

Fucking tories , utter utter cunts

That sounds really quite worrying.

what about the brexit £350 million per week?

That was a lie but it was an accidental lie so it’s fine.

Or some such bullshit.

I wonder how ashamed/embarrassed Billie Piper is for having married that pantomime clown?

I think events have retired Farage, whatever he decides to do. He’s become irrelevant now. If he hung on till the Summer he won’t get any credit if we come out of lockdown ahead of Europe and the U.K. economy starts racing ahead: Rishi and Boris will get that. This time it’s definitely time for him to call it a day.
