Birmingham was once a powerhouse industrial city but now the UK's second city is a shell of its former self as rubbish lines the streets, the lights stay out and children grow up below the poverty line.
Not only does that not have anything to do with the topic at hand, but I’m also much more worried about the very real hostile take over of a nation than some people’s fucking street lights.
Damnit. I hate when my local city government’s finances are too fucked to pay the energy bill, but still have money for military weapons procurement.
Wait a minute…local city governments are able to purchase air launched cruise missiles and anti-tank weapons!!! And they can export them to!!!
Dude I think you might be onto something, that is pretty wild…makes you wonder what the dog catcher is really up to… probably moonlights with gig economy wetwork.

People forget that the first country the Tories fucked up was their own.
imagine thinking that spending billions on a proxy war does not have anything to do with the domestic decline in UK 🤡

In Texas maybe.
Dont’ forget NYPD https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/the-nypd-megatruck-that-showed-up-at-hamilton-hall/ar-AA1nZJJZ
If only they budget in some courage. There were 400 cops at Uvalde. Not to be a tough guy, but its part of their job.
lmao chuds downvoting the elephant in the room
The UK has spent 12.5 billion pounds on Ukraine in the last 28 months, which at around 5.4 billion per year is 0.4% of the UK’s budget. That’s not an elephant in the room, it’s a mouse under the fridge.
It’s not being mentioned because it isn’t significant. The downvotes are because obvious disinformation is obvious.
Hmm 12.5Billion pounds eh? How much would it cost to “keep the lights on” in Birmingham do you reckon?
They could always tax the rich, but sure, let’s pretend that the only possible option is the one that helps Russia.
There’s a reason why that government is polling so low that it may not even be the opposition in two weeks.
15% of UK households went hungry as of February this year, I’m pretty sure 12.5 BILLION pounds could’ve done a lot of them, but instead that money was spent in Ukraine. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/feb/27/health-emergency-15-of-uk-households-went-hungry-last-month-data-shows
The deplorable regime in UK doesn’t give a shit about its own people, let alone Ukrainians.
