It's a funny picture, but it doesn't look like a BoneAppleTea...

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Well I got tired of waiting

[–] wols@lemm.ee 19 points 4 months ago

Love this comment.
Absurd, mysterious, unapologetic.

What does that have to do with this not being a boneappletea?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

New posts? IDK

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

With what? You've confiscated all the knives.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

Exactly, they weren't going to go out and buy new knives.

[–] BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This was a satirical poster; the phrasing is deliberate and it was posted on the underground as a protest against the conservatives.

[–] manmachine@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

“But have you tried ‘kill all the poor’?”

[–] ValiantDust@feddit.de 6 points 4 months ago

How about "raise VAT and kill all the poor"?

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't think this fits here the current lot in parliament would do this if they thought it would help their numbers

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It would double the number of homeless Labour voters so I doubt they would go through with it.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Oh dear, he doesn’t know that humans can’t reproduce through mitosis yet. Ask your mom about it honey.

[–] HeartyBeast@kbin.social 8 points 4 months ago

For context. This is a satirical poster popped up in the tube over advertising

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't think you understand what this community is...

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

I understood that it was way to quite

Whenever I see this picture I think of these lyrics:

This is an announcement from Genetic Control

It is my sad duty to inform you

Of a four-foot restriction, on humanoid height

-

I hear the directors of Genetic Control

Have been buying all the properties

That have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold

It's said now that people will be shorter in height

They can fit twice as many in the same building site

They say it's alright

Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow

In the interest of humanity, they've been told they must go

Told they must go, go, go, go

Perhaps off topic, and the poster may be satirical, but how is that turning out?

Have they reduced homelessness? Have they cut any homeless in half?

Just tired of empty promises.

[–] xor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Haha, good one! Homelessness has more than doubled since the conservative party took power in 2010. This particular poster (albeit satirical) was from 2021, since then homelessness has increased massively in the ~~UK~~ England.

I love how they've been in power for so long over there that they're literally claiming they'll fix their own fucking creation.

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Sunaks leadership campaign was litrly vote for me and I'll fix the economy WHILE he was chansoler of the exchequer

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 3 points 4 months ago

Thank you! Great info.

The data excluded those in shelters, and is England (not the UK). 4K is in the very solvable range. Pathetic that things are getting worse.

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I see this and I get the Atlanta Braves fight cheer stuck in my head:

"Don't... Stop... The... Chop.."

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

By shipping one half to Rwanda, am I right?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure we should be making jokes about the Rwandan Genocide

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I'm just saying that the Brits are sending asylum seekers to Rwanda. Pretty tasteless tbh

[–] Gennadios@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In all fairness, this could be a very effective strategy.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It would double the homeless population

[–] Gennadios@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

You have won this argument, I concede.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

How many have they cut in half so far?

[–] blackn1ght 2 points 4 months ago

Zero. They awarded the contract to Lord Fuck-the-poor III who then pocketed the £250million.

[–] shutz@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

Could have been worse. They could have had them quartered.

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

You've got my sword!

Gimli: and my axe!

[–] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

I love seeing this in Wrestling Empire

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Have you tried "kill all the poor?"

I'm not saying do it, I'm just saying run it through the computer and see if it would work.

[–] No_Support_8363@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The wording on that is egregious, they mean they are going to cut the number of all homeless people in half by 2025

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It is actually fake if you look closer but I still think it is funny
