Not only does that not have anything to do with the topic at hand, but I'm also much more worried about the very real hostile take over of a nation than some people's fucking street lights.

It's very relevant to the topic at hand. The ruling class are laundering money using the war they started in Ukraine that they hoped would enable them to pillage Russia again like they did in the 90s.

Ukraine is comprised of several nations, some of which have no interest being part of the fascist dictatorship that tried to ethnically cleanse them before they were saved by Russia.

English citizens have a reasonable expectation to fucking street lights from their state while it pours money into its failed war.

imagine thinking that spending billions on a proxy war does not have anything to do with the domestic decline in UK 🤡

People forget that the first country the Tories fucked up was their own.
