      If you’re twelve that would have been a great insult 😂

      Does your mummy and daddy know you’re using social media?

        I’m not trying to insult you, you retorted to an article showing poverty in the UK with, YEAH WELL ALSO AUSTRALIA HAS POOR PEOPLE TOO!!! 😡 so I’m simply pointing out that you seem a bit hurt

          I’m not hurt, my mum works directly with people in a similar situation mentioned in the article.

          It just always makes me suspicious when a country’s media is more focused on “look how bad it is over there, you guys have it great”.

          If the BBC did something like that about Australia I’d be like well why the fuck does that matter to me?

            I have no idea where you got “look how bad it is over there, you guys have it great” from? Maybe you have been propagandised so hard you don’t recognise regular content when you see it

            The ABC does about 7 articles per day on how tough Australians are doing it, from a 5 second look at the ABC homepage:

            People living in vehicles forced to choose between diesel and food as fuel prices remain high

            https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-09/people-living-in-cars-hit-hard-by-fuel-crisis/106538490

            If the BBC did something like that about Australia I’d be like well why the fuck does that matter to me?

            Does the BBC not do stuff about other countries? Like this:

            Is Australia seeing an immigration backlash? - Asia Specific podcast, BBC World Service

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJsIlM132lI

            In summary you have a victim complex, in your head the ABC in Australia was pointing a finger at you/the UK and laughing while talking up how mighty and amazing Australia it is, when such a thing doesn’t exist… it’s just an article on poverty in the UK, don’t take it personally
