Cost of living

Aww, diddums, did the nasty stranger on the internet trigger you?

You're starting to sound like BR14 .... just saying.

surprised you can breathe considering how far you are up your own ass.

I'm up my own ass because I don't get all woke about things I have zero impact or control over? Inneresting.

Tell you what, let me know what you're doing personally apart from getting triggered on here and we'll compare notes eh?

I pay all my taxes, I use my single vote each 4/5 years (this current lot are nothing to do with me), I treat every individual as an individual .... what else should I do? Go glue myself to the railings of an energy company headquarters like you?

If you want real change then maybe stop voting Tory or Labour. Start voting for the independents. Canvas for them. Throw some f your money behind them to get rid of the 2 party system we have.

Or continue to be a keyboard warrior. Your choice fella.

It's called compassion. Or empathy.
When you say you have no impact or control, isn't that a choice?

Feel free to remind me again how I personally can have impact or control of the affordability of bills for the poorer in the UK society. I have empathy for the situation, but people also have to take responsibility for their own life choices. We all do.

My choice is to help those I know who are struggling.

Jesus, you lot really are turning woke. And yet none of you is doing anything significant either apart from play keyboard warrior on here, and every 4/5 years still vote in the same old bag of sh*te government.

You could ask your saviour for some help too ... where is he when the poor need him the most?

Probably manifesting himself in others less C*ntish than yourself.

What a nasty piece of work you're showing yourself to be. 'Woke' simply means being aware of issues in our society affecting groups who are routinely overlooked or badly treated. It's a silly word but it's nardly the insult you seem to think to care about maligned demographics. Rather the opposite.
Now, publicly pontificating about how much you care just to look righteous is bad but I don't really see people doing that here.
You have no idea what people are doing in their communities or in other ways - charity work, altruism, whatever. You just assume everyone else is as self-centred?

What I see on here is people constantly complaining but doing nothing, but calling others self-centred for (according to them) doing nothing.

You may well do some stuff in your community, and I applaud you for that, but most on here seem to be whingers jumping on the next bandwaggon.

And it's the choice of 'woke' that I find funny on here - get upset about certain demographics being treated badly because of something they 100% cannot control (like BLM, no one can control the colour of their skin) or those trying to escape genocide from their home countries and you're shouted down as 'woke' because those groups don't deserve help (according to the likes of the wail)

But mention that some people have made life choices that have had a direct influence over their current situation, and it's all tears and wailing (see what I did there) because their skin colour or background fits those we're happy to help.

As I said, I help those I know when and how I can. I didn't however vote for this vile government and their policies so damned if I'm going to be made to feel guilty for how they treat the less well off when I didn't put them in power.

Dry your eyes mate. You're a self-centred twunt, own it and stop trying to back pedal.

Not sure where you get that idea from, who has suggested you should? I suppose embarrassment on behalf of your country might be appropriate to foreign friends, but compassion to those affected has little to do with who you voted for. I don't really think blaming people who voted Tory as being responsible makes sense anyway, but neither is "I didn't vote for the government it's not my problem" a valid justification.

You seem to be the one calling others woke, I thought?
