I speak as someone who’s Scottish or at least half Scottish. Best way to handle the scotts is to direct them at something.

Honestly just invade Canada

Don’t invade.

nah I want more

That should be one of the last options.

Instead, you gather power and leverage support.

Offer your help to weaker nations in return for some control over them, so you can actually govern them competently. When you have enough power, purge the corruption that keeps those places as shitty as they are.

In order to do empire right, one has to maintain the principle that all the empire’s citizens are equal, and should all have the opportunity to gain power in it.

This whole situation is considerably unlikely, but would lead to a cleaner and more civilised world if handled correctly.

The petition is now at 99.3k.

lol

petition got to 100k

>inb4 nothing happens

they'll have a statement in parliament where they acknowledge the petition, but still refuse to release the results on grounds of national security

Or they'll say there's more pressing issues like corona

This whole pandemic is particularly good for illustrating the market worship of faux conservatives

yeah, whether it's the republicans in the usa, or the conservatives in the UK - the right is shit

I don't believe labour would have acted that much better.

They claim to be revolutionary on the economics but I imagine it would still be overtly neoliberal

Open borders is a human right

Well, Corbyn's lot may have been revolutionary, but they'd still do all the bad shit

Labour have hardly any claim of being revolutionary on the economics, at best they're centre left when it comes to economics

also aren't fascists just socialist seriously the only difference between the Fascists and the Socialists is the Fascists are at least wise enough to not attack the family

galaxy brain

National socialists, maybe

And wasnt Labours gargantuan spending plans at least a bit revolutionary?

Uh no, itd have just taken us to the levels of spending in Germany France etc

Remember when Gordon Brown said that we have done away with boom and bust?

Well to be fair there was never a 'boom'

More just bust and bust

fascists are socialists

just a variant

the only difference between the Fascists and the Socialists is the Fascists are at least wise enough not to attack the family

What counts as a boom
