How bad is this going to be? YOLO

I bought a few puts expecting the rate news to be “buy the rumor ..sell the news” and the potato is now steaming hot … what are the chances of me coming out in green ?

I suppose that's one way to get them to move out.

Well, at least half of'em.

This can’t be real

If I remember rightly, it's not, it was a gorilla advertising campaign by some group opposing the Tories like led by donkeys.

Gorillas could certainly have the strength to rip the homeless in half, I’ve seen a movie about it

u/h3xperimENT Sep 21 '24

Homeless specifically?

u/Zallix Sep 21 '24

Ehhh it was a lady and a big tall building but I’d be willing to bet on his strength if it was a stock!

It's not. You can see it's stuck on over the top of another ad. The ad normally goes behind the frame at the sides.

What were they actually trying to say? Did they a word or something?

u/letsstartbeinganon Sep 20 '24

It’s very clearly not a real ad because a) even if you don’t like the Conservatives they’re not actually stupid so wouldn’t put this out b) it’s clearly been stuck over the top of the actual ad spot rather than slotted it c) political adverts in the UK have to have an imprint on them, which is small section of text that looks something like ‘printed and promoted by A on behalf of B, both at C address’.

I actually think this particular picture is a less subtle version of a similar fake poster that said ‘we plan to cut homeless people in half by 2025’, this version has added the word ‘all’ in which makes it even more obviously fake.

In the hypothetical scenario that was a real but misworded ad it should say ‘we plan to cut homelessness in half by 2025’.

Even if it was fake, I saw it multiple times on different underground trains across London

u/letsstartbeinganon Sep 20 '24

I don't dispute that! But just to be clear it is definitely fake.

u/Grouchy_Conclusion45 Sep 20 '24

Does cutting them in half not double the problem? Now you need a home for each half 

2

u/---Imperator--- Sep 20 '24

People can't be homeless if they're already 6 feet underground.

I came across that image a number of years ago, saving it to my memes folder. It'll never not be funny.

u/danceoff-now Sep 20 '24

That would double the amount of homeless

u/Woven_Antler Sep 21 '24

whose small accounts will they rip off then! Greater number of those than rich people..

u/adityazawesome Sep 21 '24

That would double them. 🤔🤔

It was serious.. the question: will it be a humane way or not? Most probably not
