    Jeet Heer Retweeted Liam Bright

    The current crisis is not likely to hurt the Tories because it's a chance to do some World War II LARPing, with rations, blackouts, etc. And LARPing WWII is the hobby of 40% of English people, so enough for a parliamentary majority.https://twitter.com/lastpositivist/status/1444399460386316288 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Genuinely curious what it would take to get the British public to en masse get angry at the Tories. There's something kinda comical about polling like this while my neighbours try and ration petrol between each other. https://twitter.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/1444378340366983178 …

        Indeed, the Tories' entire voter base is people 50-75 who are convinced they personally fought at Dunkirk.

        I think you can bump that figure up but otherwise scarily accurate.

        one could say the nostalgic LARPing of the retired and asset-rich is an over-represented influence on Anglosphere democracy today

        The hospitals are literally overflowing onto car parks, half the grocery stores have empty shelves, and the police have told women to wave passing bus drivers to protect themselves from murderous officers. And, apparently, we love it! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-58707225.amp …pic.twitter.com/sSZGHNDQzJ

        If you can just decide to go home from A&E because you are a little cold you should not be there to begin with.

        It is a funny situation to hearken back to, considering that for the last five years, Britain has been basically bombing itself. But I shouldn’t expect the silliest 40% of the UK’s population to make sense any more than I should expect the silliest 40% of our population to.
