    It actually does. The amount paid off at least, since the property is the wealth.

      Considering how little we’re going to get back when we sell it within the next few months before fleeing to the UK, I would say that I don’t think it’s wealth.

          In the sense that the UK isn’t likely to force my queer daughter into a conversion camp in the near future, no.

              Right, because Labour, (and the Tories and the Lib Dems) are all totally homophobic just like Republicans.

              What the fuck are you talking about?

                I’m just saying that I think this particular fear you have is roughly equally likely. Maybe the likelihood of it happening in the US is double or triple than the UK, but I think that would put the likelihood only from 0.01% to 0.03%, so basically the same.

                Forcing queers (~8% of the population) in re-education camps would incite riots. They won’t do it.

                  Did you listen to the King’s speech this year? I doubt it.

                  Did you know that the King’s speech lays out government policy? I also doubt it.

                  Did you know that the King’s speech this year included making conversion therapy illegal? I really doubt it.

                  Meanwhile, in the U.S., there’s project 2025 and prominent republicans literally calling for trans genocide.

                  Forcing queers (~8% of the population) in re-education camps would incite riots. They won’t do it.

                  Yeah, remember how that happened in Germany in the 1930s when queer people were put in camps and then there was a big riot and they all got freed? No, neither do I.

                  Remember how it wasn’t even legal to be queer in America until 2003? I do.
