just remembered they’ve completely banned at home ancestry dna kits in turkey because everyone found out they weren’t really turkish and got super pissed off
I don't understand how people are incapable of understanding that both
1)lots of Britain looks like this 2)that's not good. We deserve nice things as a country!Streets I grew up near looked like but I'm still happy to say its bad if children are lounging on discarded mattresses
I grew up on a council estate in Yorkshire. Backstreets like this are completely normal & not symbolic of anything other than Ms O's innate classism. This industry is a hard place to be working-class, but nonsense like this 👇makes me glad that I am.
by elections are so funny you’ll have 14 year old lib dems from buckinghamshire who knows absolutely everything about some random constituency up north and people who actually live there who don’t even know there’s an election going on
was pro-remain until 5 years ago today when i came into a morning year 8 english lesson and the teacher spent half of it sat at his desk crying saying this must be the worst day of our lives
If the teachers didn’t give you the A level results you were hoping for, don’t worry. I got a C and 2Us and I’ve ended up happy, with loads of friends and a Bentley.
In 2021 saying tax the rich is not a particularly edgy or controversial statement and it’s incredibly cringe worthy and immature to act like you’ve done something profound by saying it
Desperately need the Tony Blair Institute to change their branding from the generic de facto one of the early 2020s, just had a very confusing 30 seconds
lAtiN wIlL hElp yOu leArn fRenCH and sPaNiSh fAst, you know what else helps you learn french and spanish fast? just learning french and spanish and not spending ages faffing around with a useless language
i was just thinking this would be much more bearable if i had a balcony but a balcony overlooking what??? the car park next door? the big sainsburys?? i can see a nice bakery and mountains and the sea from the one i’m used to fuck this
imagine you’ve got 3 As today and you’re spending your day recording 240p resolution videos in New Look business casual saying that your whole cohort didn’t deserve what they got, take a fucking day off
still thinking about how a level politics teaches you that ayn rand is a conservative thinker and made it so you were only allowed to cite her in essays on conservatism purely because they had no other women to put in the conservatism section
There’s something rather distasteful & shameful in the way some young people are pitting themselves against older generations, as if the old are all selfish, wealthy misers who haven’t paid into the system their whole lives - and helped support their children and grandchildren.
the TheyWorkForYou how did they vote thing is the worst thing ever invented it completely ignores the whip system and people seem to be surprised when tories vote for tory policies?? and it exclusively phrased tory policies in really negatively skewed ways
Tell your friends: the Tories are making the young - who can't get a house & working for average/below average income, already screwed by a decade of hapless Tory government - to work harder to subsidise older richer people. They promised to do the opposite

The Conservatives’ developers’ charter would sell off and sell out our communities.
Local people, not Tory Party donors, should decide what’s best for where they live.
getting poor children fed isn’t ‘playing politics’ and if certain MPs think it is then it says a lot more about them than rashford if they literally can’t imagine someone trying to help the worst off for no political gain
I genuinely don’t believe the ‘schools are uber woke marxist institutions’ stuff, I’m 18 and in secondary school we were told communism is where everyone is paid the same and did some light lgbt & black history month which’s most radical moment was saying Seacole>Nightingale
The year is 2021 and a man from the taliban is giving sincere answers to a man with a DaBaby pfp and a man with a photoshopped Pepe pfp on a space on Twitter dot com
we should’ve cancelled flora gill for being annoying with the whole ‘omg i tweeted about sex and my mum who is a politician and also on twitter saw and replied to it!!!’ thing
