Set fire to his house, a flat “linked” to him (family member perhaps?), and his old car.
We live in an unhealthy democracy when people are being this extremist and violent over a political figure so bland he makes Gordon Brown look fun and care-free.
Nonce? I think if Starmer was a paedophile our press would be having a field day.
FINALLY
I’ve been looking forward to having a phone that’s more fragile and has a smaller battery, now I’ve found my guy. Thanks, Samsung.
Where I live there are frequently people that come into pubs to sell things that were clearly stolen from the nearby Morrisons.
I’ve found blocks of cheese to be an extremely frequently stolen item.
Makes sense. Fairly easy to conceal, surprisingly expensive (depending on what you get, like £8-16 per kilo), doesn’t usually come with security tags like steaks often do, and there’s lots of potential buyers for cheese since it’s used in a lot of things and it’s bloody lovely.
And yet they’re the only demographic who gets a pay that always matches or exceeds inflation. Seems weird that they’d see a disproportionate increase in shoplifting.
That’s true. And I’m not usually a massive fan of Doombar but it was £1.49 in a spoons (relatively) near me recently, so I couldn’t say no.
I’m not surprised. All my costs are going up and I have to make cutbacks. When a single pint is £5-6.50, that’s something I can’t justify.
I do agree that the supposed justification for this change sounds quite daft and chest-thumpy… almost to the point of sounding like political satire.
He’s definitely playing it up in that way because he’d be crucified by the tabloids and Twitter for saying anything less on VE day, which is unfortunate, but I guess it’s the political climate we live in.
But the actual law itself seems quite standard. It’s not unusual at all for climbing on statues and monuments to be an offence, here or anywhere else. It’s particularly touchy when it’s one related to WW2, and it wouldn’t be completely unreasonable to argue this one is.
I guess it shows why I could never be a politician lol. I’d probably say something like ok, ban climbing these statues, fair enough, but piss off with the putting words in my mouth. Churchill was a complicated man and I should be free to criticise him until the cows come home, and then I’d immediately face immense backlash, the usual GB News ghouls would be calling for my head, and I’d be ousted from [party].
It’s already illegal to climb on a bunch of statues, memorials, and the like, and that’s not just a UK thing, that’s a most places thing.
I’m somewhat surprised people were allowed to climb this one.
Chlorinated chicken isn’t happening, it’s been ruled out time and again.
This damage limitation is, I guess, a good change. Although I’m more pleased about the other stuff going on, we’re shifting to become more self-reliant on some things (particularly defence), and cooperating with continental Europe more again.
I just hope that by next election there’s serious calls to do things like rejoining the Customs Union.
Good.
If Tommy Robinson was calling for people to murder their MP, people would rightly be giving him shit for it and calling for him to be charged for inciting violence.
To apply a different rule to these people would be pure hypocrisy.
His alternative is to become a vassal for US healthcare insurance companies
This deadline wasn’t some unknown thing suddenly sprung upon energy companies, this deadline has been known about for a long time, why have they left it this late? Were they just expecting the government to keep extending the deadline?
Infuriating that this isn’t the standard everywhere.
Surprised the EU hasn’t looked into it, even. The default behaviour to use proprietary MS formats is clearly intended to damage competitors by reducing compatibility.
I’d call that a textbook case of abuse of dominant market position. How is it any different to Google doing crap like preferring their own products in Google searches?
You: genocide is just when you kill or sterilise ethnic groups
Me: that’s not the definition of genocide, it’s more broad than that.
You: um ackshully it turns out the definition of genocide isn’t strictly ethnic groups, nor is it only killing or sterilisation
You literally proved me right now harm in admitting that I was right and you were wrong. There’s no need to get upset about it and sling insults around.
You are forgiven for being wrong. It’s no big deal.
I never said whether it did or didn’t. I only said your definition is wrong.
Don’t try to take some quasi-victory out of this.
So you acknowledge you were wrong then? It’s not strictly about killing or sterilisation, not is it strictly down to ethnic groups.
Thank you for proving me right 👍
Genocide refers to the systemic forced killing or forced sterilisation of an ethnic group.
Genocide doesn’t have to be killings or sterilisation. It can be any action with the intention of destroying a group, in whole or in part.
It also doesn’t only apply to ethnic groups.
He does. And not one trained on a particularly good model, it has to be said.
Yes. One of the only benefits of FPTP is that for most of its history it has stopped tiny, insane, extreme, populist parties getting a foothold, and instead encouraged relative stability. For all the issues we have, the UK has been a phenomenally stable democracy over the years.
That is no longer a protection against Reform, as they’ve broken past the “not being popular enough to gain any traction under FPTP barrier”.
