    I would go as far as to say we need a change of population. Which we’ll have in about 20/30 years once all the fuckwits from my era (I was born in 1957) have died off. Muppets in the flats where I live and my sister in law etc. are still convinced there are hundreds of thousand of immigrants queing up to rape them and take their jobs, Keir Starmer is going to turn UK into a communist annex of Russia and so on. The fact that they’re retired so dont have a job, and Russia hasn’t been communist for decades is neither here nor there. The Daily Mail and the like tell them so. So it must be true.

      Well I can say a member of my family voted for Johnson because he has nice hair. I literally spat out food on hearing that remark.

      We need a better education system for the population. With the education system we have currently, the population will never be savvy to the cons that the politicians are using. Better education is the only way to stop ignorance. Politics and critical thinking should be part of our main school curriculum.

      I would argue that we also need a PR voting system. Currently those politicians only need to con a few thousand people to control 65m. They gear their campaigns to small areas while ignoring the rest. Even changing the population and education system will never eradicate this.
