Fucking despicable group, among a host of similar astroturf orgs. How can you call yourself a Green while also calling for discrimination?

- Comment on Whitehaven's absentee landlords urged to 'invest or sell up' 2 months ago:
Heavily tax the things you don’t want.
Impose a significant vacant storefront tax to incentivize reducing leasing costs for brick and mortar stores, or selling for more productive use.
- Comment on BREAKING: Canary debanked by Lloyds 2 months ago:
Causes of de-banking in the UK:
Risk appetite: Some businesses presented an unacceptable level of business risk to banks to three of the UK’s major banks.
Financial crime prevention: Some accounts were closed due to financial crime concerns. Indeed, banks have a legal and regulatory obligation to stop/prevent money laundering and other financial crime.
Information sharing: Banks closed accounts due to being unable to complete their customer due diligence because of a lack of information sharing from customers.

- Comment on Boston is the most pro-Brexit town in the UK. What has leaving the EU changed? 'They got nothing' 2 months ago:
clicks on map I have no idea where Boston UK is.
zooms out on map I still have no idea where Boston UK is.
zooms way out on map It’s kind of in the middle of nowhere isn’t it? Too far off the M1 corridor to be useful for anything that needs a supply chain. Surrounded by farmland
- Comment on Do not drop ammunition at Devon recycling centres, council warns 2 months ago:
The bullet or shell in the photo doesn’t look deactivated or dismantled to me.
It could be a dummy round, but until you run it past an expert, it should be treated as unexploded ordinance.
- Comment on How Britain Became as Poor as Mississippi 2 months ago:
I think one can further break down “economic power” between industrial strength, control of the largest financial (stock, bond, futures) markets, and control over the de facto global currency.
- Comment on Do not drop ammunition at Devon recycling centres, council warns 2 months ago:
Okay, but the article has absolutely no information on how to safely dispose of ammunition, fireworks, flares, etc.

He should rename himself again to Lord Haw-Haw.
- Comment on How Britain Became as Poor as Mississippi 2 months ago:
The way I see it, living here in the US, is that since the 1970s corporate America has been in the business of extracting wealth from the great middle class that came out of WW2 spending, and US hegemony over the world:
Cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, cutting social spending in order to commercialize and tax social infrastructure that used to be free such as childcare, healthcare, elderly care, education and so forth. De-industrializing sending blue collar jobs overseas so that corps can extract even more wealth faster.
In many poorer areas, this vein of wealth has been tapped out and local communities are desolate, misery-drug addicted holes.
Britain did not have that same post-war middle class boom to the same degree, and taking on the same wealth extractive policies will result in little to no gain, IMO because there’s little wealth to extract.
The above is purely my own uneducated uninformed drivel.

- Comment on British Heart Foundation to close 150 charity shops as costs rise 2 months ago:
The charity, which gave (Charmaine Griffiths, the chief executive of the British Heart Foundation (BHF)) a £35,000 pay rise to £268,239 for this financial year, also said it was planning to cut jobs in “central functions that support our retail operation".
I think some cost savings could be readily identified…
- Comment on Seagull leaves it's mark on King as he visits seaside resort 3 months ago:
“Queen Camilla” still sounds weird. Technically, she’s a queen consort, as opposed to a queen regnum, such as Elizabeth II. but Charles has dropped the “consort” part in his announcements.
- Comment on Details of the Daring Airdrop at Tristan da Cunha, 9th May 2026 3 months ago:
It’s such a closed system, they can even track when new genetics were introduced in the “early 1900s” by visiting Russian ships.
Heading towards inbred by an aging declining population.
I would suspect it’s like a lot of small towns: Inward facing, busy keeping their own share of limited local resources from being grabbed by other locals.

- Comment on Keir Starmer raises eyebrows as he proudly declares himself a 'gooner' 3 months ago:
A quick google corroborates that it’s new meaning is recent slang, gaining popularity about since the 2020s.
Older people probably don’t use it a whole lot, even if they know what it means.
And if you’re an English Premier League fan, gooner has meant an Arsenal FC fan for decades.
