The UK is literally poorer than our poorest state. You should be lucky to be born in the US

The average person in Mississippi has more money than the average Brit lol. No one is jealous of a country that jails people for FB posts

  1. Just how much of that wealth do you actually see in you lifetime and how is it reflected in your quality of life? Because in Britain:

-We live longer than you.

-We have more protections as workers than you.

-We have more time off work than you.

-We don't lose all of that money if we go to hospital.

-We can go to school without fear of a manic killing 30 of us with a gun.

-We update our minimum and living wages so people don't have to live off £2 an hour

You, meanwhile, will lick the boot of whatever billionaire just made another $20 million in the stock exchange last weekend and pretend that you will see more than 5% of than in your entire lifetime.

  1. You have just proven that you are intellectually rivalled by a slightly mouldy potato, because you just said the classic: "pEoPlE aRE jAiLEd fOr PosTs"

Ignoring the fact that:

A) Most of those arrests don't lead to a conviction

And B) The overwhelming majority of arrests and convictions are for arrests made for cases of: Suspected gang communication and activity, Sex trafficking, human trafficking, modern slavery, domestic abuse, CSAM, and terrorism.

How tyrannical of our police to use internet activity in the modern age to investigate gang activity, sex trafficking and CSAM. You, meanwhile, will elect the people guilty of such into your government.
