The world is f**ked it really isn’t a place worth living in anymore… health and safety has ruined most industrial sectors…. The rich rule us like a little ant farm laughing at us all while we all do there bidding without realising…. Farming is f**ked were all gonna starve too death before long… the worlds falling apart with the way the climate is…. It won’t be long before we’re all dead one way or another

F**k me, cheer up.
Grain prices at a near record high, pandemic didn’t kill all of us, I’ll warrant you’ve never fought in a war and neither have your kids, we don’t have rickets, polio or cholera, I bet you’re sitting in a nice warm house, and Ze Germans aren’t approaching from the beach.

I know Meghan Markle is a bit vexing, and red tractor makes us all a little waily, but I do think things could be marginally worse, and have been so in the not too distant past.

Do you never just take a step back and look at the way the world is and think Christ… where the f**k did we all go so wrong?? If humans were calves you’d put us out our misery
Not really to be honest. Plenty of problems but no more or less than in the past and will be in the future. It’s just life, sometimes it’s crap but on balance I’d rather be alive today than at any other period in history.

Tony bliar told a lot of lies about hospitals short of fuel and the lorry drivers backed off
Fuel duty didn't drop
Brown reduced tractor tax from £35 to zero big deal
And slashed HGV from over £5000 to about £1200 for 44t on six axles with rebates for those had already paid
We would have gone bust if he hadn't, I detest both Brown and Blair but they did do that for us.

Ironically this soft survivable world is our down fall
You can get away with doing nothing and still live a life in this moment in time, however the price the human race pays is depression and emptiness
We have plentiful food and shelter meaning our problems are material and we don’t appreciate or gain joy from a hearty meal that we struggled to hunt, kill and share with our family
We are living in the easiest time to survive in this worlds existence that we know of, but it comes with different challenges

Some people are under immense strain
Others cause it
