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

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

Well I got tired of waiting

[–] wols@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

Love this comment.
Absurd, mysterious, unapologetic.

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

New posts? IDK

With what? You've confiscated all the knives.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year 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.

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

[–] ValiantDust@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

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 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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.

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

By shipping one half to Rwanda, am I right?

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

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

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

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

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

It would double the homeless population

[–] Gennadios@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You have won this argument, I concede.

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You've got my sword!

Gimli: and my axe!

[–] shutz@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

How many have they cut in half so far?

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

I love seeing this in Wrestling Empire
