Absolutely fair enough, I’m just a somewhat ignorant Welsh man!

They have only ever been described here as American/Native American.

Though now that you mention this, Cowboys & Indians suddenly makes a lot more sense to me.

Are there actually Amish people in India?

I can’t tell if this is real or not.

Well shit.

In that case, keep posting!

Well written.

I fear there are many on Lemmy that don’t truly grasp the gravity of the current geopolitical climate, and despite you laying it out here with ease, people will disagree with your assessment.

Keep writing like this, we need as many doses of reality as we can muster in amongst the genocide apologists and arm chair experts.

16 is old enough to have taxable income alongside other things in the UK.

Quit smoking a few years back, that was an absolute bitch to do.

Still get the feeling every now and then, only ‘relapsed’ once at a funeral.

Hard yes, even with a small fine for failing to vote (£50-100) - With the caveat that spoiling the ballot/voting none of the above is also an accepted admission.

We need to start taking steps to reverse political apathy asap, this can be one of many.

Thank you for the kind words. I’m probably a little more pessimistic than you, but I’ll say I’m absolutely with you on hoping that an incoming labour government, even if it’s more right-wing than I would prefer, would be good (Or at the very least ‘better’) for the UK. Time will tell, I’m sure I’ll have more to complain about.

Well spotted on that error, fixed it now, appreciate it!

Unsurprising considering Labour has lurched largely to the right following defeat.

That’s not to say they are now right-wing but it’d be pretty accurate to describe this iteration of Labour, Starmer’s vision of Labour, a centrist party.

130 is more than they deserve.

Hopefully they decide to support PR voting off the back of this, I’m not ‘too’ hopeful though, would be quite unlike them to do something that actually benefits the electorate.
