    Posting in UK Politics without even cursory knowledge of British culture is wild. Either way, drinking is engrained in British culture.

      It’s pretty entertained in USA culture as well. I feel not having any attacks on US soil during the war didn’t lend any need for community building endeavors, whether public health, public transport, or public shelter. It’s easier to instill greed/fear of lack or fear in general, as well as cynicism and distrust of our neighbors the more separate and divided they can make us. Long hours, low wages and laws designed to protect business rather than workers perpetuate and compound the issues.

      And it’s wild to think after work drinks are somehow an alien thing. It’s a thing pretty much everywhere.

        It’s not gatekeeping. It’s having basic respect to at least post with some basic knowledge of what you’re posting on.

            The House of Lords isn’t a political issue? Trying to force people back into the office to keep the rich wealthy isn’t a political issue? Have a word with yourself super hero.
