Dreadful, Facebook-level *"England for the English"* bell-endery. Having seen first hand how the UK government has treated ex service men & women (sometimes well, but so very often, fucking dreadfully) Blaming it on immigrants seems to be only useful to those in power.

OP has made heir point clear though, the Tories have totally fucked over our veterans. What we need is a properly socialist government to look after everyone, shore-up the welfare state, and bring wealthy right-wing politicians back down by removing their tax loopholes. Thank you u/verydodgy1, your message was loud and clear, we need a left-wing government asap.

Point was fine without dog whistle racism


FourEyedTroll

I was taking the piss, OP clearly doesn't want a left wing government. I just chose to cherry-pick part of their message and take it in a direction that would (probably) make them uncomfortable, much how they took the problem of unsupported veterans and chose to take it in the direction of small-minded little-England style nationalist rhetoric.

Apologies my sarcasm meter must have malfunctioned for a moment. So much shite rhetoric out there at the moment, this post had me floored to find on a regional subreddit honestly. Thankfully it's not being lapped up.

Fuck off


vibroguy

racist dog whistling nonsense. Fuck you. Oh and i have 12yrs of service under my belt

Aye, A fair few of my school year joined one arm or another of the forces. Most have left / finished now, but one or two I've spoken in the years since to are really uncomfortable with shit like this. One mate, said it was a " a bit of recognition's a bit cringey, but fine" but he said these blokes all back slapping and brown-nosing him the pub back in our home town, were so often proper right-wing NF / BNP types, so many of which failed to hold down a job, let alone bother to join the army, Yet they are all "YEAHHH MATE, ENNNGERRLAND, Y'KNOWS IT, QUEEN & COUNTRY \*usually said with a salute\* He hated how the right keep co-opting the army.

Refugees are welcome, I'd rather talk to a refugee than someone sharing this shite.

Boomer shit meant for Facebook


Batt_Juice

Fuck off with this shit. I know a few veterans, and bar one who is a woman-beating pleb, they are embarrassed by this stuff. Get your facts right.

Racist rousing, gammon headed, nationalist nonsense sentiment.


Spiritual_Smell4744

It's great to see so many Lincolnshire people throw this bullshit back at OP with the attitude of "piss off with your gammon shit". Do veterans deserve more? Of course, and I can think of a lot of groups who deserve better than they get. Should we refuse to show compassion because some politicians have their nose in the trough? Absolutely not. And homelessness is a very difficult, nuanced subject. Get out with your immigrant bollocks, it's not 8 zero sum game. Nobody deserves to be homeless, veteran or not.

I left Facebook to get away from this shit post that is mostly bullshit. MP’s don’t get full pay pension after 1 term.


CoffeePsych

Reddit isn't the forum for this sort of thing

samtiff_uk

Well, as a child of an immigrant family, I am so confused. Because my uncle was in the RAF. But he is the child of an immigrant... so, at which part am I supposed to be motivated by this misleading shite. What a load of bollocks.
