- Comment on Burnham to make some benefits conditional and ‘get serious’ about cutting welfare 2 days ago:
I have to agree, entrenched benefits do people more harm than good long term. A health heart and mind can benefit from purpose and goals. Its hard to break out of of mental health issues, but you do have to climb out. Labour have been good traditionally at keeping people doependant.

That’s the plan…

Learn how to resist and fight, even if it is quietly. We are not powerless. They monsters act this way because we have been quiet and not stood up.
- Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 3 weeks ago:
You have to turn that hopelessness to motivation. I have been reading about resistance. I’m moving through anger towards determination and figuring out how I can personally contribute to change, What I can influence or control.
I defo feel more empowered.

Grand game theft
- Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 3 weeks ago:
It’s a comment that is used to make everyone feel like it’s pointless trying to fight this.
We are powerful united and they don’t want us to fight back.
Eat the rich.

- Comment on Butter 3 weeks ago:
Have you considered pushing your comfort level with your next new tub of butter?
You could put a knife in the middle and twist
You could segment it into smaller blocks inside
You could dig a bit out if each corner.
Personally typing those idea made me feel sick so I understand your rationale.
- Comment on UK workers all face the same problems. Why not join together? 4 weeks ago:
Agree. And talking to older people about this is like swearing. they get very crazy, like crazy like you have just suggesting they broke the law and have a disease.
They then continue to complain about people’s treatment
- Comment on #StopPayingGames 4 weeks ago:
I have no qualms paying for products. I try make the right choices but bit by bit it becomes impossible as the tech around us becomes more authoritative, more greedy, more invasive, more enshitified, less fair.
Streaming is a great example. Nearly all of them don’t treat staff well, they use profits to lobby or abuse their positions. I am happy to pay for content. I am not happy to pay to perpetuate bad behavior. Hence I’d like have an offline collection…but if I simply can’t buy it…then it becomes a service problem.
- Comment on #StopPayingGames 4 weeks ago:
I would argue in some ways piracy is a progressive form of demonstration against a systematic problem, and in this case the bigger studies that milk users and take advantage of those doing the work.
So telling people not to advocate with their form of protest is a bit unfair, it takes all tactics to get change.

Yup. If buying isnt owning…
- Comment on How come it seems a lot of celebs have severe anxiety disorders? How did they choose their profession know they were walking into something which would constantly put them in a fear state? 4 weeks ago:
You could look at it as they have an alter ego (the character) to stand up and not be that person, that worrier. A form of therapy by dissociation possibly.

Cowards.
- Comment on UK weather: Amber extreme heat warning issued as 35C heatwave approaches 5 weeks ago:
Plenty of water.
Use your windows to create wind tunnels.
Put something up against the windows if there’s no breeze to stop the sun beaming in.
Watermelon is cheap at the mo.
Take cold showers in the middle of the day.
Freeze a few small ziplock bags of water. Wrap a dry flannel around them and put them on the back of your neck, your feet etc.

Unless they are planning to start deeming damage to something…like property, as terrorism.
- Comment on Your Search Results Are Getting Sloptimized: How companies are gaming the chatbot internet 1 month ago:
“As a result, the SEO industry is scurrying to figure out how to get search bots to recommend a given product—a practice sometimes called “GEO,” for generative-engine optimization.” they cooked it to oblivion.
Search is so broken, my mentality has gone back to to pre-internet days. If i need a product i don’t trust the web to gov my impartial info, and I don’t trust online shopping anymore the quality/price/monopolies that take the mick etc - they made it like that and its just too hard. Id rather manage without. or use a bank of maybe 5-10 known/trusted sites.
- Comment on Judge in Palestine Action Case Refuses to Recuse Himself Over Bias Claims 1 month ago:
“In the latest trial, the jury found Charlotte Head, 29, Samuel Corner, 23, Leona (Ellie) Kamio, 30, and Fatema Rajwani, 21, guilty of criminal damage. Corner was also convicted of GBH without intent.
But Justice Johnson is set to sentence them as terrorists, an unprecedented move that was kept secret from the jury during the trial, while the media was banned from reporting on it. He will add a ‘terrorist connection’ to the charges under section 69 of the Sentencing Act 2020.“
There we go. The police state…for pretty much criminal damage. A individual who thinks his opinion is above the law, however is happy to convict people who have harmed property as terrorists.

Agree these emerging business are a great route to work for many. Practical support, that’s not (overweighted by middlemen and fake professional) could be a good win to communities.

Is this a public complaint that anyone can sign?
- Comment on The Dead Economy Theory 1 month ago:
I agree some people want violence. The problem is you are describing the people in charge. Usually they are trying to placate (well at least inside the country) but now there are the ones broadly inflicting it.
How do you avoid that? You can’t and they have taken over the means to do it and with the law, the rights to do so.

- Comment on Boots stores ban for boy after £100,000 shoplifting sprees 2 months ago:
Yup. All i can hear is gluttony and vanity….I am making myself sound self righteous to the point of religious. Whats worse buying £25 mascaras or me. The world pisses me off at times.
Maybe i need to buy myself something pretty from a shoplifter. 😍
- Comment on Boots stores ban for boy after £100,000 shoplifting sprees 2 months ago:
How do you get 60k worth of goods in 11 visits? And a £400 fine. That lucrative and seemingly attractive.
I’d like to have pity for the corps but f them. My appeal to play fair is getting low, esp to a store selling overpriced makeup and tat. Actual chemist will still survive fine.
- Comment on Met police arrest pensioner for ‘jury crime’ already ruled not a crime 2 months ago:
So keep on trying to prosecute even though she was acquitted previously. The UK really is scared of protesters. Remember this! They are scared of you rising up.
Individuals have a right to a fair trial; And a jurors have a right to know what their legal rights are…its not up to a judge to dictate if they do/don’t or when.
This will lead to more miscarriages of justice. They never learn, the contempt for the public is astounding.
- Comment on What Can Antifascists in the UK Learn From Antifa in the US? 3 months ago:
Agreed. People have been asking and asking. They have been educating. It does nothing. We were told we could have a say and protest. Then they ignored and banned it.
We do not have a democracy and being reasonable gets us nowhere.
