    We’d have got rid of it in 1990 I think if it weren’t for Thatcher. The UK would have had high speed internet from day one, but that stupid bint went “nah…”.

    There’s two reasons why there is a lack of teachers/doctors/nurses/police, and none of them seem to want to acknowledge this…stress, and pay. Solve the pay problem and you’ll solve the other. But no politician seems to want to acknowledge this.

    1. How did you vote on Brexit?
    2. Do you eat meat?
    3. do you think Jeremy Clarkson is God?
    4. Do you love Oasis?
    5. Do you think Trainspotting 2 is a worthy sequel?

    Sorry mate, I just wanted to take the piss out of your US defaultism, and this ridiculous idea that everyone thinks the man is brown.

    I will acknowledge the U.K. has race issues, but it’s not quite what you’re making out.

    Ummmm…yeah. Ok.

    The U.K. is incredibly ethnically diverse. I was a huge Remain person, but not everyone that voted Leave did so because of race. Sort out your own prejudices mate and stop projecting.

    America might see black men as animals, but I don’t think the UK is quite there yet. Also, the question doesn’t mention race or skin tone, so I’m not sure how we got there.

    That entire question was just pure rage bait

    Isn’t that the point though? The fact that the question was asked and rather than think “shit, could we be better?”, some men are literally seething with anger about it?

    U.K. banks raising mortgage interest rates…cause inflation hasn’t fallen as much as expected. Can anyone do an ELI5 as to why?

    As the title says, numerous banks in the U.K., maybe across the world, are raising interest rates on mortgages, and the given reason is cause inflation hasn’t fallen as much as expected. Can anyone give me a basic inflation, other than greed, as to why they’d do this?

    The European Court of Human Rights is hugely important. From the right to an education to the right to vote, it covers and protects all aspects of our lives. The idea of losing it cause of some lies about “boat people” is terrifying and the effect on our lives untold.
