So, How's It Going?

Now that Trump has stripped away your Medicaid, made it impossible to get SNAP (food stamps), imposed tariffs that will cost you an estimated $2,700 a year, you're losing your job! Labor statistics just out show that the unemployment rate among American citizens has increased to 4.7% compared to December 2024 when the rate was only 3.7%.
Trump was going to end the war in Ukraine in one day. Yeah, right. Trump was going to get a ceasefire in Gaza. Yeah right! Trump was going to lower food costs. Yeah, right!
Trump claims he received a MANDATE from voters. In fact, he won the popular vote by ONLY 1.5%.
In fact, today, he is the MOST UNPOPULAR president in the history of our country.
And you voted for him! How's that feeling?

It's worse in UK. We lost our freedom of speech, doubled our national debt in 12 months and quickly going bankrupt. 😡

@WildWings

We lost our freedom of speech

Meaning what, exactly? What is it you are not allowed to say now?

wishforthenight

@WildWings Also, our national debt has not doubled in 12 months. It has gone from £2.52 to £2.71 trillion, not £5 trillion.

@wishforthenight You are not allowed to criticise the Government in any shape or form or even make jokes about it. There is two tier jystice here and complaining about that can get you arrested. Christians cannot pray outside or they will be arrested but Muslims can. It is getting worse. Woman are afraid to go out particularly at night and are fearful for the safety of their children.

@wishforthenight ha ha. Where did you get that from?

That's patently wrong. This is one of the few countries in the world where you can openly slag off the PM to their face and you won't get thrown in jail.

There must be something in particular that you don't like. What is it?

There is two tier jystice here and complaining about that can get you arrested.

Again, what is it specifically that has got you upset (and that's got nothing to do with free speech.

Christians cannot pray outside or they will be arrested but Muslims can.

This is patently BS.

Woman are afraid to go out particularly at night and are fearful for the safety of their children.

And this is to do with free speech how..?

@WildWings

The Office of National Statistics.

Do you have a more reputable source?

@wishforthenight You must live in a cave as you clearly have no idea what is going on here in UK. I get my real news from various reliable independent investigative journalists. You must be a blinkered labour supported. You probably like Kier Starmer. 😂🤣

wishforthenight

@WildWings I live in the UK, I voted Green at the last election, and I loathe Keir Starmer.

At the same time, you are deliberately avoiding answering my questions.

@WildWings neoliberal economics and neoconservative foreign policy! There's no alternative.
