    Why are they so obsessed with this? They act as though it’s everyone’s #1 priority.

    My personal priority list:

    1. I can’t register with a GP in my area
    2. There’s a 5 year waiting list for an NHS dental appointment, and one of my teeth is cracked
    3. I can’t rely on the buses and trains to get me to work anymore
    4. I’m worried about the cost of gas and electricity
    5. I’m worried about the future of our planet
    6. I’m worried about the government crackdown on peaceful protest
    7. I’m worried about new laws to help the DWP further persecute the poor and disabled
    8. I’m worried that Keir Starmer is too focused on appeasing potential right-wing voters and is doing little to oppose some of the government’s recent awful policies
    9. I’m worried about about new badly thought out technology policies
    10. I’m worried about the global rise of the far right
    11. the recent tax cut ruins any chances of us improving essential public services
    12. public buildings and publicly funded organisations are collapsing all around us.

    […]

    1. I think the clock on my microwave is a few seconds fast
    2. At various times in their careers, I struggle to tell Val Kilmer and Kurt Russell apart
    3. But if Pluto is a dog, then what is Goofy?
    4. When I say “an apple”, I’m concerned that it sounds like “a napple”

    […]

    1. Something about immigrants on boats or whatever the government thinks my priorities are

      They want it because it makes them look tough on immigration. They don’t want to actually DO it, because anyone that can rub two braincells together knows it’s a fucking stupid idea. They just want to look like they’re going to be harsh on foreigners until the GE comes along, because they think the gammon vote will get them in.

      I think the majority shares your list. Have you seen Kurt’s son compared to Val Kilmer? Mind blowing 😁.

      All these problems can be resolved by controlling immigration.
