Birmingham, Britain's second-largest city, is being forced to dim lights and cut sanitation services due to bankruptcy
Birmingham was once a powerhouse industrial city but now the UK's second city is a shell of its former self as rubbish lines the streets, the lights stay out and children grow up below the poverty line.

Not only does that not have anything to do with the topic at hand, but I'm also much more worried about the very real hostile take over of a nation than some people's fucking street lights.
People forget that the first country the Tories fucked up was their own.
imagine thinking that spending billions on a proxy war does not have anything to do with the domestic decline in UK 🤡
It's very relevant to the topic at hand. The ruling class are laundering money using the war they started in Ukraine that they hoped would enable them to pillage Russia again like they did in the 90s.
Ukraine is comprised of several nations, some of which have no interest being part of the fascist dictatorship that tried to ethnically cleanse them before they were saved by Russia.
English citizens have a reasonable expectation to fucking street lights from their state while it pours money into its failed war.
Large amounts of money have nothing to do with a deficit of large amounts of money, that is SO true

Damnit. I hate when my local city government's finances are too fucked to pay the energy bill, but still have money for military weapons procurement.
Wait a minute....local city governments are able to purchase air launched cruise missiles and anti-tank weapons?!?! And they can export them to?!?!
Dude I think you might be onto something, that is pretty wild...makes you wonder what the dog catcher is really up to... probably moonlights with gig economy wetwork.
local city governments are able to purchase air launched cruise missiles and anti-tank weapons?!?! And
In Texas maybe.
In Texas maybe.

If only they budget in some courage. There were 400 cops at Uvalde. Not to be a tough guy, but its part of their job.
The Birmingham WMD industry is second only to Russia, which is, has always been, and will always be, number one in everything. Do not piss on the nationalist propaganda parade.
lmao chuds downvoting the elephant in the room
The UK has spent 12.5 billion pounds on Ukraine in the last 28 months, which at around 5.4 billion per year is 0.4% of the UK's budget. That's not an elephant in the room, it's a mouse under the fridge.
It's not being mentioned because it isn't significant. The downvotes are because obvious disinformation is obvious.
Hmm 12.5Billion pounds eh? How much would it cost to "keep the lights on" in Birmingham do you reckon?
They could always tax the rich, but sure, let's pretend that the only possible option is the one that helps Russia.
There's a reason why that government is polling so low that it may not even be the opposition in two weeks.
15% of UK households went hungry as of February this year, I'm pretty sure 12.5 BILLION pounds could've done a lot of them, but instead that money was spent in Ukraine. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/feb/27/health-emergency-15-of-uk-households-went-hungry-last-month-data-shows
The deplorable regime in UK doesn't give a shit about its own people, let alone Ukrainians.
