youre gonna want to sit down for this

things werent publicly owned during the bulk of the british empire

i know, shocking

turns out the only socialist party that have ever formed a government in the uk werent even founded until 1900

do you think british history is “british empire ft irish potato famine → modern britain”

yeah trade unions werent even legal until about 20 years after the irish potato famine

i was referring to between the post-war period until the devil incarnate was elected, where there was strong support for nationalisation, strong trade unions, heavy regulation, higher taxes, and an extensive welfare state (that period being the only period where you could say that the uk was quite socialist)

do even the slightest amount of research first please because i just cant be bothered dealing with you any more
