At least we all got a £50 bonus!

I want to point out that this is not unique to the U.S. - farming in Europe and the U.K. suffers from the same problem. I suspect that many other countries have the same issue too.

I wonder what the effect of raising wages for farm labourers would be? Surely, it would cause inflation. Does everyone get a pay rise, including the farm labourers, to compensate (inflationary spiral) or will we revert back to norm by excluding them?The truth is - we (yes that includes me!) need to get used to a much simpler lifestyle if we are going to fix this. That will be political suicide though… so here we are with the only compromise that is politically viable.

Not much, though - I’m English, and we worked out it would cost £20k for the various visas. On top of that, you need to pay an NHS premium, even though you would already be paying for it through the usual national insurance deduction from your salary. It will also take 10 years before they are a citizen.

We decided to stay here (Germany). Less costs and, sadly, better health care.

God, I hope this doesn’t give Reform a chance to win the next election.

Unlimited POWER!

And in 12 months’ time, the voting system will allow just one option. Great move, guys… great move.

Another one of the signs of fascism checked off!

Quite something when John Major is to the left of the current Labour party.

The way Democrats run primaries is shameful, no denying it. But the only way to change the dems is to get actively involved, push for RCV, start grass roots, and, yes, vote for the good guy in the primary.

I assume you mean in reference to the general last year? I raged against the way the left brought disaster upon the Palestinians despite their best intentions. This outcome, however, is exactly what I argued the left should be doing: fight FOR the left in primaries, vote AGAINST fascists in the general. You are damn close to sham elections as it is, giving the facisits any opportunity to shut down democracy is self defeating.

Turns out you attended to neither, though.

Also, a lot of people chose to prioritise Palestine over the climate.
