The Uk - Tumblr Posts
this is so so important to me and mine, and I'm asking you to Do Something so I'll respect your time and keep it brief
in the UK, if 100k sign a a government petition it will be brought to Parliament and debated. y'all know this country is suffering from some 80s-style bigotry right now, and this is one symptom: almost 200k fuckholes have come together to force the government to discuss whether it is 'appropriate' to tell children that queer people exist. this is a big symbolic victory for them. and i am burning with fury.
please, if you're from the UK, sign this counter-petition so they can at least see how much of a minority they are. simply put, the attempt to put these bastards in their place isn't gathering enough steam. there are barely 2000 more signatures now than there were this morning (27th January 2023), and that isn't enough. i refuse to let these people feel even a moment of victory or satisfaction. please help.
Israel wants to use nuclear bombs against Palestinians. Israel wants to use NUCLEAR FUCKING BOMBS AGAINST PALESTINIANS! This is not a war, this is a genocide. This is an act of hell on earth literally. Not only do nuclear bombs have a blast radius up to half a mile, it pollutes the sea, and the air around it for decades to come. Think Chernobyl. Not only would it wipe out Gaza completely, it would make Gaza uninhabitable for anyone, effectively destroying the climate even more in the process. Mind you Israel has already attacked Lebanon and Yemen with the help of the US, UK and Canada. This will not stop at Palestine. Share, boost, share on other platforms, call and email your representatives, protest, sign petitions, boycott. This isn’t a joke, this isn’t something that doesn’t effect you, this is not normal to be witnessing day in and day out, this type of violence is not fucking normal. Palestinians are human beings just like you and me, can’t say the same for the Zionists backing this.
Anthony Eden fucking deserved to be disgraced for the Suez Crisis and at no single point could he have made a WORSE decision than the one he made. The only thing he could’ve done in addition to make it worse is drop a fucking nuke on either the US or the USSR but he didn’t and instead he fucked up so badly that in the middle of the goddamn Cold War both the US and the USSR agreed that he was a buttfuckery of a man that needed to get the fuck out and no I will not shut up about this
We’re monumentally fucked. Thank you baby boomers, you’ve screwed over our generation yet again. Thank you. Thank you for screwing an entire generation over, when, not to be callous, or anything, but you won’t be around to face the consequences. 1.5 million or so 16-17 year old weren’t allowed to vote for something that would hugely affect their futures. Our economy is tanking, and it’s your fault. But there is hope. There’s a petition to hold a 2nd referendum, where we allow 16-17 year olds to vote, on the government website, that already has 100,000+ signatures and has so much traffic, that it’s crashed 3 times already, but it needs more. It should already be planned for debate in parliament, but it might be brushed under the rug. They’ve done it before. So sign it. Do something. Don’t just roll over and let a generation of disillusioned, embittered, eurosceptics decide your future.
