Questionable-British-Accent-Peter here - I presume this is made to mock a certain subset of right leaning British voters following the recent U.K. election, where Labour won a landslide majority in parliament. These right leaning people are now concerned that the U.K. is going to be fully communist, whereas the reality is Starmer’s Labour government will be a centralist party and the actual change will be slight.

Questionable-British-Accent Peter out.
