At least our revolutions are peaceful and in-house, not rioting in the streets. Even the music in the background of his speech was a protest, that didn't harm anyone...
It takes one Nigel Farage to change that unfortunately.

Will probably relax gun laws too so we can start shooting each other like the Yanks, if he is paid enough....
 
If Burnham suggests the following policies, I would be backing him:

• blocks the UK from selling F-45 parts to Israel
• suggest a 2% wealth / asset tax on billionaires
• renationalises all utilities (water, electric, gas & railways)
• block any form of working relationship with Palantir (evil bastards!)
• reverse any push towards digital ID
• pledge a profits cap on oil companies making profits when we have reserves to rely on in cases of emergency (when Iran war broke out for example) - it is a joke they can continue to have high profits in such circumstances
• put a stop to wind turbine companies turning off the turbines when they are producing too much energy just because “it drives the amount of money they can make down” - ludicrous policy from wind companies!

Other policies I think would be useful for his popularity contest (but don’t think are really that important in grand scheme of things) would be:

• pledge to tackle illegal undocumented immigration, but continue to support migration for jobs no British natives want to do (I.e - NHS, waste & council workers)
• create a national oil company for drilling in the North Sea
• referendum on rejoining EU

Essentially somewhere between Labour & Green Party policies is what the country actually needs… but maybe a bloke with a Northern accent that doesn’t suggest he can grow women’s boobs by hypnosis might have a little more chance at actually implementing some sensible policy lol
