Yeah sorry guys. I just can't keep myself from wanting to sleep in a cold ass tent on concrete when it's freezing outside. I've tried stopping, but there's something about waking up with that amazing feeling of despair and lower back pain that I just can't quite replicate in my warm cozy bed indoors.

Ha, I lived like that for a whole week. Then it drove me to be a successful billionaire. It's these sacrifices that drive greatness in humans. Its clear to me, Alexander and Napoleon suffered the same suffering I endured, in order to rise to the heights they did.

/s I guess

These people should not hold power.

Good idea Suella! And after that, so they don't all freeze to death, we could build huge great 'houses' for the 'poor' (we can think of a catchy name later). And then obviously, as we can't just give these lucky people something for free, we can put them to work 18 hour days for the privilege of living there.

What about the children though? They aren't allowed to work and so they're still going to freeze to death.

If only we could think of some way to overcome this conundrum

[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's the beauty of the scheme! The kids will be so grateful, they'll work for free!!! And their fingers are so small and nimble, they'll only be about 75% likely to get hideously mutilated.

By Dickens, this is brilliant, such a novel concept!

And running British concentration camps with horrible conditions is her family business, just like her dad who fled Kenya during the Mau Mau uprising.
