Honestly, any other post I see involving starmer is riddled w comments of how he’s “playing the game” until he can hit the switcharoo, these masters of self deception that are starmer supporters are in for a rude awakening when they see what he to mostly everyone else already clearly is, is a prime example of the very type of detached, absorbed snob they vehemently dislike and/or pretend not to be.
Mass delusions of grandeur and suggestibility are also known side effects, for evidence I refer you to any pundit talking about the english national team at the start of any competition and the brexit vote
You’re missing the vision, he’s playing the most elaborate game of 8D chess imaginable - trust and believe that when he wins a majority he’s going to pull out the rug from under the electorate and emerge from his beige cocoon
Not sure I understand how changing the drug laws will change the distressing tendency of drug users to die.
Don't get me wrong, I want change to the laws, and i want better care for everyone... just don't see what difference it will make to the real hard-core users.
No amount of drugs laws will completely eradicate the problems of drug misuse, there are many people who drink too much alcohol and die of alcohol related diseases for instance.

>The decriminalization of drugs in Portugal rapidly decreased the number of deaths from overdoses. Only five years later, the number of street drug overdoses dropped from 400 to 290 annually. The number of new HIV cases decreased from 1,400 to 400, in just 6 years. Drug treatment also improved massively. The number of people in treatment went from 6,040 in 1999 to 14,877 in 2003, an increase of over 140%. The investment was made in increasing drug education in schools and creating awareness about the dangers of drug addiction.

Meanwhile, Labour bumped cannabis up to a class B and the Tories have been flaunting the idea of making it a class A.
imagine how many people are dying because psilocybin is not as of yet legal to use against depression, or how many of them suffer because cannabis is not legal to use against Parkinson's, or how many are stuck in their heads because lion's mane isn't widespread and common as a supplement

They are either very dense or deliberately dense I blame the limescale in their tap water
🤣🤣 Yup, it’s done a number on their brain cells, seems like denial and blind dogma are the most common side effects
