which has racked up 38 speeding and red light tickets since 2017
That’s 4.2 tickets every single year.
First of all, how is running a red light just a ticket?
Second of all, why has her licence not been revoked with that many tickets?
America is a weird fucking country.

- Comment on [Opinion] The fall of Mandelson and McSweeney proves Corbyn was right 2 days ago:
Today, only former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn emerges from the scandal as vindicated by his principled stance opposing New Labour’s support for US imperial wars and corporate influence.
But the record is clear: throughout the two-year genocide Streeting loyally stuck with Starmer’s policy of maintaining the alliance with Israel, avoiding serious action over its crimes, offering military and diplomatic support, while making performative criticism to distance Labour from the horrors committed by its ally in Gaza.
Numerous MoD officials had recently joined Palantir - and pressure is mounting on ministers over what looks like state capture by a Trump- and Israel-linked US surveillance firm.
The project built by McSweeney around Starmer, aided by his mentor Mandelson, was brittle, authoritarian, factional and paranoid, as well as sexist and racist.
It cared nothing for the victims, be they trafficked women and children, or the Palestinian men, women and children of Gaza. It suspended black and Muslim female MPs for the slightest infraction.
But… But… But I have been repeatedly told that Labour are pro-worker and lefty liberal loonies! Even by Lemmy members who have signed up to servers that promote anarchism. Have I been lied to? Could it be that the pro- capitalism neo-liberals aren’t in fact left wing at all?
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!
Next you’ll be telling me that all they really care about is wealth and power.
- Comment on bit rude, innit? 3 days ago:
De Gaulle vetoed the British application to join the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1963, famously uttering the single word ‘non’ into the television cameras at the critical moment, a statement used to sum up French opposition towards Britain for many years afterwards.[41] Macmillan said afterwards that he always believed that de Gaulle would prevent Britain joining, but thought he would do it quietly, behind the scenes. He later complained privately that “all our plans are in tatters”.[35]
American President John F. Kennedy urged de Gaulle to accept the United Kingdom in the EEC, stating that a Europe without Great Britain would create a situation in which the United States were bearing the enormous costs of Europe’s protection without any voice. Kennedy applied pressure to de Gaulle by threatening to withdraw American troops from European soil, but de Gaulle believed that the United States would lose the Cold War if they were to leave Europe.[42] It encouraged de Gaulle to see Great Britain as America’s “Trojan Horse”.[43]
- Comment on Wrongfully jailed men call for change to England and Wales compensation law 3 days ago:
Even after being cleared, people who spend years behind bars owing to a wrongful conviction have to prove their innocence “beyond reasonable doubt” to qualify for compensation.
What a shit show of a legal system.
What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
How does being cleared not constitute proof of innocence, if they’re not guilty they must therefore be innocent beyond reasonable doubt, no? Or do we live in topsy turvy land?

What welfare? We’re a workfare nation now, can’t be giving people the means to survive without ensuring they’re providing something for the capitalist machine!
- Comment on How Britain became a fried chicken nation 5 days ago:
The killing of kids with £2 chicken and chips
Is a tactic of war, waged on the poor
Can’t save wages on slave wages
And you don’t think fresh fruit with your face on the floor
Nah, you need money for the kids
Rent and light plus food in the fridge
But that last box can be the hardest tick

- Comment on If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky. 1 week ago:
You really need to watch this video. It explains it all. It’s long, but it’s incredibly well researched and presented.
Raw materials are not an issue.
There are a multitude of possible downsides with nuclear and with the greater number of reactors around the world comes the greater risk of something going catastrophically wrong for large amounts of people.
Solar has none of that downside, unless you include the sun devouring us in 6 billion years time…
- Comment on Keir Starmer apologises to Epstein victims for believing Mandelson's 'lies' 1 week ago:

- Comment on Facial recognition error: Customer misidentified by Sainsbury's 1 week ago:
Indeed, it’s still a ridiculous amount of errors though.
65,000,000 x (0.02%) = 13,000 possible errors
16,000,000 x (0.02%) = 3,200 errors every week

That’s assuming it’s actually people and not bots driving “engagement”.
Is there really enough people signed up to a Telegraph account to provide 172 comments on a minor story within a day of publishing?
I don’t know, maybe, but I’m dubious.
- Comment on Facial recognition error: Customer misidentified by Sainsbury's 1 week ago:
Both Facewatch and Sainsbury’s point to the software’s “99.98% accuracy” – but Rajah suspects the margin of error is higher and has questions about the dataset behind this claim, and if it is representative of a range of body types and skin colours.
99.98% looks good to a layman, but that number is meaningless in reality.
Is that 0.02% error false positives or false negatives, or both?
Also, 0.02% means 2 in every 10,000. I don’t think it takes long for 10,000 people to go through the doors of Sainsburys every day, considering the UK population is about 65 million and they’re a nationwide company. Once this is rolled out nationwide they’re going to have constant false flags.
Scumbag oppressive tactics by a scumbag company.

- Comment on Coastal road swept away into the sea in Devon 1 week ago:
In the photograph I noticed there’s water either side of the road, so I looked it up on a map and it’s such a dumb fucking stretch of road. Of course the sea will take it!
Why waste money rebuilding it over and over when they could make an inland road that serves the same route?

- Comment on ‘Supermax-style units’ for most dangerous criminals to be introduced in England and Wales 1 week ago:

Yeah, fuck those humans using human rights to prevent cruel and unusual punishment!
/s if it wasn’t obvious enough
Why stop at supermax? They should go for super duper max! Super duper ultimate extreme maximum.
This is fucking atrocious and anybody still supporting Labour at this point should hang their heads in fucking shame.

They might make a nice tasting drink but they also promote fascism and anti-science conspiracy theories.
Servus TV is a TV station based in Wals-Siezenheim in the Austrian state of Salzburg and owned by Red Bull Media House GmbH, a subsidiary of Red Bull GmbH, which also publishes the magazine Servus in Stadt und Land. The station is the successor to Salzburg TV, founded in 1995 and rebranded in 2009. It is politically aligned with the far right.
The TV station has been associated with the political far right and conspiracy theorising.[2][3] As part of the talk show “Talk im Hangar 7”, the leading figure of the neo-fascist identitarian movement IBÖ Martin Sellner was invited to a panel discussion on the topic “How dangerous are our Muslims?”.[4]
In his weekly commentary series “Der Wegscheider”, the director of Servus TV Ferdinand Wegscheider [de] spread controversial and unsubstantiated information about the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] This frequently took the form of posing rhetorical questions. For example, he explained that the vaccination was “insufficiently tested” and contained “genetically modified substances”. He further claimed that the administration of the antiparasitic ivermectin would be an adequate therapy.[5] In 2021, the press club Concordia filed an official complaint against the broadcaster at the communications authority of Austria (Kommunikationsbehörde Austria).

- Comment on Number of US-style pickup trucks on UK roads up 92% in a decade, data shows 2 weeks ago:
These are almost nonexistent in the UK and a very niche requirement which doesn’t explain the vast majority of pickup users’ choice.
- Comment on Number of US-style pickup trucks on UK roads up 92% in a decade, data shows 2 weeks ago:
I despise these shit vehicles so much.
Anything they purport to do a van can do better. Most people have zero requirement for them, the few that do would be better served by a van.
They take up more space than other vehicles on on-street parking, they’re so long they stick out onto pavements when parked in many driveways, and they’re considerably less safe than a normal car for other car drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Utter shit buckets driven by fragile ego manlets trying to prove their masculinity, in the most unimportant and unimpressive way possible.
