The State Assets that Margaret Thatcher sold are now worth more than £10tn.
That is enough to fund the NHS for 50 years, she was only in power 11 years. The UK didn't need outside enemies to destroy it, it had a gigantic enemy within, who was voted into power twice by huge numbers of ordinary people, who have all suffered immensely ever since, not to mention the crumbling infrastructure, shit-filled rivers/lakes, foreign-owned energy/transport and landlordism. You get what you vote for. #UKpol
@Judeet99 🔥🔥🔥 PREACH 🔥🔥🥰
@falcennial We got what we voted for...and destroyed ourselves still further with voting Brexit. This is how countries can so easily destroy themselves and how it highlights the huge risks facing the US, who isn't immune.
@Judeet99 @falcennial unfortunately, democracy has the seed of its own potential destruction built in. You can always vote to end democracy itself.
hope, work, fight, plan, and prepare for the best.
and also prepare for the worst.
because there's nothing worse than being caught unprepared when disaster strikes.
and there is nothing more gratifying than shoving all the wasted effort of your apocalypse survival preparations in the trash when something good actually happens.
@falcennial @XenoDangerEvil Apocalypse survival stuff should be shared and centrally stockpiled. Climate change and associated disasters can and will happen anywhere, it's always best to hope for the best but definately plan for the worst.
@XenoDangerEvil @falcennial This is what we're witnessing in some European countries and what I fear for the US.
