Scotland's Mum: did ya get the independence lad?

Scotland: naw but I got these magic beans!

Scotland's Mum: fucksake

Just a quick note on current UK political events:

They know they’re killing us. They have the numbers, they know we’re dying because of their cuts to disability spending.

They can say whatever they want, but they can’t claim they didn’t know.

They are killing us. They’re looking at the numbers of us dying because of their cuts, and they are introducing further cuts and further gatekeeping to prevent new applications from going through.

Don’t let anyone make you forget. They know they’re spilling our blood, and their response is to drive the knife in deeper.

“The UK has become the first country in the world to be placed under investigation by the United Nations for violating the human rights of people with disabilities amid fears that thousands may have died as a consequence of controversial welfare reforms and austerity-driven cuts to benefits and care budgets. - x

I get seriously pissed off with stories about the state of the NHS. My Mum is currently in hospital, she’s spent the past week fighting for her life and she wouldn’t still be here if not for the NHS. All the doctors and nurses have been fantastic and me and the rest of the family can’t thank them enough!

Good to see that our Estonian friends even have a separate exchange for Scottish notes!

[oh-glasgow]

How the UK voted in proposing air strikes in Syria. Green for no, red for yes, grey abstained.

Apparently every bomb costs £800,000. I don’t know about you, but I’m sure everyone at the food banks, every homeless person on the streets, every public service worker that’s lost their job in the name of austerity, will all feel that much safer and better at this action.

Fucking lunacy.

Governments starting wars for “the good of the people” while a majority are against it.

“Trying to kill terrorist while killing innocent civilians makes you a terrorist. You cannot make the loss of innocent lives just collateral damage.”

[frugalmouse]

Breathtakingly clear.

remember when margaret thatcher died lmao

Mainstream media is refusing to cover protests in Westminster today - riots broke out yesterday as it was announced that a Conservative government will be in power in the UK for the next five years, this is bad news as they plan to privatise the NHS and raise tuition fees. Spread this message and signal boost, for the UK. #toriesout

They gained just over 50% of the seats in parliament and get 100% control of it with just 36% of the vote. This isn’t democracy. This is a party that outwardly stands for retaining social inequality. Keep fighting. We need change. We will get it.

[andrastesflamingunderpants]

They also want to bring back fox hunting, scrap the human rights act and cut/eradicate access to work for disabled people (which many disable people including my parents and friends rely on to actually work. if you dont understand how important it is look here).

This is the first result that comes up on Google when you type in “United Kingdom”.

Ahead of the British general election on May 7th, Game of Thrones anarchist-in-chief – and first-time voter – Maisie Williams has a message for the youth of today.  [x]

[creampuffanatomy]

Nicola Sturgeon of the SNP and Leanne Wood of Plaid Cymru shouting down Nigel Farage is the only thing that gives me hope for British politics in the future  

[alibraryismyparadise]

So glad someone GIF’d this

[thebhoywiththearabstrap]

Farage: I have a fact!

Human beings: Okay, but have you tried looking at it from a non-hateful perspective?

Farage: Oh, right.

my fav bit of Weekly Wipe has been the bit about Cameron leaving TV interviews as soon as he’s answered one question, in case the journalist asks him something he hasn’t been heavily briefed on beforehand. 

It always looks so phony, like, you’re doing a photocall in a primary school, where the fuck are you going? “Gotta get in the lunch line before the P5s get there!” 

[sadspaghetti]

it looks like the #ImStickingWithTony hashtag was originally created by Tony Abbott supporters but it seems to have, uh, derailed
