Birmingham was once a powerhouse industrial metropolis, but now the UK's second city is a shell of its former self as rubbish lines the streets, the lights stay off and children grow up below the poverty line.
The UK has spent 12.5 billion pounds on Ukraine in the last 28 months, which at around 5.4 billion per year is 0.4% of the UK’s budget. That’s not an elephant in the room, it’s a mouse under the fridge.
It’s not being mentioned because it isn’t significant. The downvotes are because obvious disinformation is obvious.
Hmm 12.5Billion pounds eh? How much would it cost to “keep the lights on” in Birmingham do you reckon?

There’s a reason why that government is polling so low that it may not even be the opposition in two weeks.
15% of UK households went hungry as of February this year, I’m pretty sure 12.5 BILLION pounds could’ve done a lot of them, but instead that money was spent in Ukraine. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/feb/27/health-emergency-15-of-uk-households-went-hungry-last-month-data-shows
The deplorable regime in UK doesn’t give a shit about its own people, let alone Ukrainians.
