4 years of the alarm ringing, a 4 year snooze, and then 6 months of the alarm ringing again is an awfully long time to take to wake up. All whilst living in the "richest" country in the world, with the freedom to carry guns, and say what you want. That's... Even more pathetic than I first thought.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed seeing the pictures and videos of thousands, millions, of people marching, but you can do better.

For context:

5% of the Italian population protested the Iraq war.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_February_2003_anti-war_protests

Approximately two million people joined their hands to form a human chain spanning 690 kilometres (430 mi) across the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which at the time were occupied and annexed by the USSR and had a combined population of approximately eight million.[2]

That's 25% of the population.

3.3% of the Phillipines population protested in 1986 whilst under a dictatorship.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_Power_Revolution

With a U.S. population of 340.11 million (Wikipedia number) that's 1.18 - 1.76%. That's... pretty pathetic considering what was being protested.

1 - 2 people out of every 100 in America stand against fascism, the rest... who knows?

The English. £9,000 a year isn't easy when you're 18, throw on top rent, food, transport, socialising, many people go into debt.

Student loans have more generous terms than ordinary loans, and you only pay them back when earning more than ~£25k (depends on the loan) but that's still debt.

Not according to ICE.

Ministers can fuck off unless they're willing to be replaced by AI too.

"Shut up, Nazi!"

Don't watch the series of Taskmaster that she's in then. You'll lose respect for her, she crashes and burns so hard it's cringe and difficult to watch

Rude.

Labour government.

Labour.

This is supposed to be a government of the working class?

Does the working class support genocide?

I get you, but English is the only language required throughout the UK because of similarly xenophobic policies in the past.

My argument isn't meant to be the final gotcha and suddenly Keir will reverse policy, it's to give another perspective, another point of attack, another reason on top of all the others as to why this is a bullshit policy. A reason not likely thought about by monolingual English speakers.

Gaelic was exterminated through various government policies. Yes it was slowly, naturally, losing to English anyway but instead of allowing a bilingual society to thrive it was stamped out through force, both at the end of a gun and at the end of a belt in classrooms.

Cornish, Welsh, Irish, are all as native a language to this island as English. Why does English get priority? Because of colonial oppression. And this is another oppressive policy. More authoritarian policy from a supposed left wing Labour party. More pandering to racists like Reform.
