Also also, quit being a bunch of faggots and shitting on (white) British people all the time. I get that it’s part of the Redditfarms groupthink but it just looks pathetic.
The Farms is unavailable in the UK, due to the UK attempting to enforce their retarded speech laws. A British citizen has committed literal terrorism, in Null's real name, and in over a decade the only thing the UK government has done, is pay the dole to the terrorist. Not to mention protecting systematized rape, while whites are imprisoned for jokes.

It's not a joke, it's not 'groupthink' it's what around 100 million US voters think of the UK.
 
Tiny correction: They won't have to pay any National Insurance tax for the first 3 years of living in the UK on a Visa. They'll benefit from our services whilst not paying anything into it.
"We need migrants to keep the NHS funded! Oh, and migrants won't be paying to keep the NHS funded. No refunds."
 
Either this is a based pope or this is a counter signal by libs, “see the new pope is American and he’s saying fags and rapefugees everywhere, take that Drumpf”
As i've said in the popewatch thread, if he'S globohomo then Vance will have a bit of work to make him bend the knee.
He's like 60, so we can expect a solid 20 years out of him
 
never figured out where in the bible it said
"Have a special ceremony where you talk in latin and act all overt the top with everything to elect 1 guy to be like top christian or somthing? idk just give him a fancy car and let him wave at people, this is HIGHLY CRITICAL TO THE CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE"
-John Chapter 1/2 Verse 20
 
Let's not forget another insane deal that UK signed with India just a week ago.

Any Indian nationals working in UK will no longer have to pay separately into NHS.

The US has a similar arrangement for foreigners.
For foreign STEM graduates there is an OPT F1 visa where companies don't have to pay the payroll tax for those workers for 3 years.
 
I'm seeing conflicted reports on how cucked he is. Someone knowledgeable on this subject please elucidate me so I know whether or not to laugh at Catholics for electing another retard.
He's more of a centrist figure within the Church, not terribly different to Francis but won't commit to either extreme.

There's like 3 pope threads bro.
Maintaining the 10% tariff allows America to compensate for not having a similar tax in place (unless VAT is present in some states and not others). I feel retarded for not considering this. Maybe Trump should bring it up more. I guess optics-wise it's not as bad as tariffs because it's applied indiscriminately to every company rather than entire countries, but it's still a tariff in all but name. It even applies to digital goods, at least in the UK, but at a lower rate (2% or 17%, can't find the actual figure). In a way it's worse than a tariff since it applies at any life cycle of the product/good being sold, rather than just being the entry fee for the good itself into the country. Crazy.
Don't feel bad, everyone has been programmed to accept rhetorical games. In geopolitics, economics, and the law, they still remember 'a rose by any other name.'
 
The last season of The Boys -- and Sausage Party come to think of it -- they were pretty explicitly "Fuck Trump" seasons.
Oh thanks you made me remember that the movie and show exist. The movie was funny for like 5 minutes and then the rest of the film happened and I was utterly bored, as for the show. Its like south park except minus all the good things people actually like about south park. Can someone explain to me why every fucking piece of media nowadays needs to have something about modern politics? Like Christ we get you show created “orange man bad” but can you please tell me a good story at least?
 
Overall I think the primary objective of the deal was diplomatic in nature. The UK rushed to get in first with negotiating something and show a willingness to play ball.

That said however, the UK's largest exports to America are engines and cars, the former of which we won't have to pay a tariff on at all apparently, alongside steel and aluminium. Cars will be charged a 10% tariff for the first 100k before rising up to match the level of everybody else at 25%. Not everything has been agreed on yet, such as pharmaceuticals (the UK's 3rd biggest export to America) or the digital service tax (which I'm sure Elon would be interested in seeing gone). Certain exports from America to the UK, such as beef, will see no tariffs up to the first 13k tons, which is likewise for UK agricultural/meat exports into America. It also still has to meet our food safety standards, so no corn syrup in soft drinks and whatnot.

If this enables local farmers in the UK to sell shit abroad easier and cut down on the costs of feed and fertiliser, then the outcome of this deal doesn't need to be contentious or viewed as an 'own' necessarily. A big issue with farmers in the UK is that it was always cheaper for foreigners to sell here than for us to sell elsewhere, if this lack of tariff on agricultural products up to a certain tonnage enables farmers to make a living again by allowing them to sell in American markets, then there's no reason for this to be contentious. It could be a win for the UK and the USA.
You still are getting a lot of new imports. Looks pretty raw to me bong. But it is better than that India deal I suppose.

I actually really enjoyed the movie since I accepted it for what it was: A film created by and for people who are totally high. But yeah, the show was LITERALLY "orange man bad" and on top of that it was gratuitously gross and disgusting, and I'm fairly desensitized. But that show and The Boys last season were made in the leadup to the last election and "orange man bad" was far more important a message to impart than any actual story. Maybe in the next year or two people can lighten the fuck up in the writers' rooms, I hope. Not holding my breath though.
