Oh wow. The YouTube version of this video had the rozzers faces blurred so I just assumed it was some dumb rookie but there's no way these are rookies!

Fucking fascists.

Don't let perfection get in the way of progress.

We know the system is broken, but the people with the power to fix it have no interest in fixing it. At least they're improving it in some way, makes a change from the usual "and then it got worse".

Fuck a trickle.

Trickle down economics has never and will never work, it's a fucking lie.

Give us a wave, give us a tidal wave of benefits via the government taxing the cunts and giving that wealth directly into the hands of the population at large. Benefit society as a whole, not just the rich cunts at the top, and a tiny trickle for the plebs at the bottom because they need to pay us something to keep their offices running.

Tory policy dressed up in red. New Labour are useless.

Nice M&S advert, I guess Lemmy is in the big leagues now!

I can't wait for the vultures to properly descend when they sense there's an untapped market ripe for the picking :\

What's with the obscurity in the title?

Heriot Watt University.

Call them by their name. Name and shame them.

Heriot Watt University care more for weapons manufacturers, whose weapons are used to commit genocide, than they do their own students.

Heriot Watt University are therefore pro genocide.

Heriot Watt University.

Why waste money subsidising the car industry when they could invest that money in proper public transport?

Fucking new Labour.

EVs are better than ICE cars but they're still shit for the environment and for society. Electric buses, trains, trams, and good cycle paths do a much better job for the environment, the mass transit of people, and for social cohesion. Fuck.

Governments and others with power are constantly finding new ways to suppress protest and silence critical voices. Global trends towards the militarization of police, the increase in the misuse of force by police at protests and shrinking civic space mean that it is becoming more difficult to stay safe while making your voice heard.

https://www.amnesty.org/en/what-we-do/freedom-of-expression/protest/

The way police and other state authorities engage with protesters has become increasingly militarized since the early 2000s. Militarization is happening in many ways, including the deployment of armed military forces to suppress protests and supplying police with equipment like armoured vehicles, military-grade aircraft, surveillance drones, guns and assault weapons, stun grenades and sound cannons.

Military forces are organized, trained and equipped for war and defence and have no place at a protest, where police should be trained in de-escalation, mediation and keeping people safe.

Governments try to justify this disproportionate escalation in the use of force by painting protesters as a threat to public safety, but in truth, these tactics are ultimately a way to intimidate people into silence.

Aldi is better at pumping every product with palm oil and making knock off branded products

Lidl is better at having a chaotic middle that never gets tidied
