I would love universal credit for essentials id basically quit work or work less as I don’t really require much in life. All I really need is a gym membership and internet, maybe a laptop.
And thus is why universal credit won’t work because no one would want to work. Most of use work for essentials like food and housing
No new fossil fuels, windfall tax, foreign aid, universal credit and food resilience make this protest seem a bit incoherent.
Hunger strike only works if you are protesting against your mum.
Some of them look like a a few days of not eating might help them out
Some years ago now, but I remember this bloke doing the same. He failed on day one however exclaiming ‘chicken dippers!’ As he failed.
It’s kind of hard to get your “food poverty” point across when you’re fat.
A few days hunger strike might do them the world of good.
A five day hunger strike? Not a hunger strike then is it, just fasting for 5 days.
A hunger strike is “give me what I want or I starve to death, which I’m happy to do as a martyr”. Bobby Sands must be pissing himself over this bullshit.
That is called intermittent fasting in the better parts of Town
Hang on a minute…
>The group’s demands include
>making sure all children in the UK have enough to eat by enforcing universal free school meals.
Seems reasonable, can’t see any issue with that.
>universal credit to guarantee life’s essentials
What for literally everyone in the entire country? What are these essentials? Is there a list? Who is paying for them?
>the government keeping its promises on foreign aid and climate change and the implementation of a loophole-free windfall tax on oil and gas companies’ record profits.
Ahh, there it is… why can’t reasonable ideas just be reasonable ideas rather than having to be attached to far-left political ideology?
What has any of that got to do with climate change, is the rate of benefits or the fact that there isn’t free school dinners due to excessive carbon emissions?
Surely providing Foreign Aid is specifically going to prevent a lot of their demands happening…
If you’re unable to feed your child, you’ve failed as a parent.
Smithers, are the peasents starving themselves to protest us?
Yes, Mister Sunak.
Excellent.
This used to be the norm for me back in the 90’s on the pills.
Why aren’t they at home fixing their kids a sandwich?
The scum in Westminster already know people are starving and that’s of their own doing… They don’t give the slightest shit. What makes them think they’ll suddenly care now?
These strikes are getting out of hand. They threaten democracy & put unnecessary pressure on our politicians.
My strategy if I was in office would be to criminalise these gauche displays of insubordination. If the strikes continued, I would add in legislation to bring criminal charges to the strikers’ families.
It is the only way to preserve democracy & let our politicians do what they do best – lead us.
Who’s with me?
sorry no money for the children, or investment into the UK, we can only afford bombs and weapons to send to Ukraine and the red sea
Careful … government will say you only need to eat once a week.
