The worry is that your family will go to the US and eat something awful and become maimed.
The secret trick is not going to the US until radical changes in their government.
The world is a big place with many things to see, just choose some other country for your vacations.
Oh Iโm staying away itโs just that Iโm worrying about others who arenโt paying attention to the wickedness in Uncle Sam.
sad though. What if i go there illegally and only eat vegan food
Haha! I already avoided going to USA for being the fucking leech sucking all the blood of the world, now I extra super duper avoid it!
Yeah the US sucks but it's always funny to me when y'all on TERF island try to act morally superior as if Brits aren't responsible for colonizing this place and the rest of the world, creating Israel etc. calm the fuck down with this bullshit moral superiority.
Also reform just won so you're totally fucked too.
The working class of Britain aren't responsible for the crimes of the ruling capitalist class or it's captive government.
Is it wrong for them to be proud of their hard won food standards?
Reform won what?
UK going full Nazi
Eh, next election is most likely in 2029. I won't say the poll is meaningless, but a lot can happen in four years and election polls years out from an actual election are rarely ever even close to the actual result.
Bro thinks a poll is a nationwide election, typical American education on full display
Lmao cope harder
Not a bro. TERF island stay losing.
The brits are fuckhead about a lot of things but I think their farmer lobby is a bit less powerful there since they import all their food anyway (nobody grows on their god forgotten island). The US is an agrarian powerhouse so it makes sense their lobbies are more powerful.
Look at the french, the're colonisers but food isn't something they joke about. If they were forced to eat what you guys calls cheese they would start beheading real quick.
Oh yeah for sure but the reason the US exists is still their fault.
not sure if the brits keeping their empire would have been any better lmao
No my point was that the US is their fault.
Yes I got that. Fair. On the other hand, at the time, they were doing it to annoy the british king. Which is also fair.
Imagine still using a damn king like it's middle age.
This is the most whataboutism shit take I've seen as a thinly-veiled coping mechanism.
Yeah, the UK was shit... until recently, where it looks like a socialist paradise in contrast to the dystopian hellhole that is the US. Don't throw stones in a glass house mate. How about you solve your own country's problems first?
The only one "fucked" here is you.
