- Comment on Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians? 3 days ago:
In a way that is what trade unions do. Here in the UK they donate to the Labour party, for some reason.
- Comment on We'll just ignore that 3 days ago:
Extremely disturbing. I’m shocked this is legal.
- Comment on Boris Johnson trying to undermine BBC leadership, insiders fear after leak 2 weeks ago:
If they would have him after bitching about him all the time for their so-called “Boris Wave” of immigration.
He’s a liability for other reasons too and would draw the sort of heat on things like Brexit and corruption that they would rather not have have to explain themselves about.
They should totally get him on board.
- Comment on what is the equivalent of somatic exercises for the mind? 2 weeks ago:
I would like to hear more about relaxing the muscles. I’ve never heard of somatic exercise - what do I do?
- Comment on Temu: UK artist's anger at finding work on site without permission 2 weeks ago:
This wouldn’t matter so much if 1) Arts Council funding hadn’t been decimated under austerity and 2) Working class people could afford to buy art.
The pool of people who can afford to keep the arts alive is rapidly diminishing. I work with artists and see this week in week out but it’s the same with everything.
Rich man moves to the village and everyone goes to work for him.
- Comment on Are there communities online where artists share their art for free / donation? 4 weeks ago:
Check out Pixelfed. Just subscribe to hashtags that interest you and it will pull in art from across the Fediverse.
Pixelfed is one of the best things on the internet IMO.
- Comment on Experts urge Government to ban supermarket bacon after link to 50,000 cancer cases 4 weeks ago:
This was Taliban 1.0 drugs policy. “Drugs are forbidden, unless they are being sold to the infidel.”
Why not?
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 4 weeks ago:
Yes it does
- Comment on China’s chilling stolen data plot for everyone in Britain: China has waged a multi-year hacking campaign that harvested personal data belonging to every British citizen, experts have warned 4 weeks ago:
This is like your plumber knocking on the door to tell you that you have a leaky tap.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 4 weeks ago:
Then how do you explain this: Image
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 5 weeks ago:
Everyone knows that it HAS though
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 5 weeks ago:
It definitely has
- Comment on Green Party membership surges even higher as Labour loses a member every 10 minutes 5 weeks ago:
Thanks!
- Comment on Bath is a beautiful city. But why is it so increasingly impossible to live there? 5 weeks ago:
I bet there are enough airbnbs and second/third/fourth homes in Bath to more than cover the waiting list. No need to build anything.
- Comment on Green Party membership surges even higher as Labour loses a member every 10 minutes 5 weeks ago:
I’m planning to join ASAP. Very inspired by their positive attitude, party constitution, policies, and the fact that they seem like real people working together.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 5 weeks ago:
Yes it has
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 5 weeks ago:
No, it’s not just your imagination.
- Comment on Towns may have to be abandoned due to floods with millions more homes in Great Britain at risk 5 weeks ago:
Preferred choice: dont build any houses.
Second choice: build houses on flood plains.
Backstop: ignore climate change and charge people more for insurance.
- Comment on Vegan Politician Zack Polanski Elected New Green Party Leader In Landslide Victory 1 month ago:
It’s not speech control; you’re free to say what you want.
And I’m saying that I don’t like seeing nastiness. It’s unpleasant and sets a bad example, pushing the culture of the platform as a whole in a more toxic direction. If another commenter has done that to you then call them out for it or ignore it, don’t add to it.
- Comment on Vegan Politician Zack Polanski Elected New Green Party Leader In Landslide Victory 1 month ago:
Potentially a fair point but completely spoiled by swearing and vitriol. I’m seeing a lot more of this on Lemmy these days and it’s a big and unnecessary disappointment.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 1 month ago:
I has no previous experience with self-hosting and got set up using YUNOhost
- Comment on Green Party Set To Debate Policy Of Abolishing Landlords 1 month ago:
Now we’re talking.
- Comment on Lauren Southern accuses Tommy Robinson of lying to protect alleged 'rapist' Andrew Tate 1 month ago:
The bottom line is that people are accountable for their own actions and not the actions of others, and that’s exactly how it should be.
- Comment on Lauren Southern accuses Tommy Robinson of lying to protect alleged 'rapist' Andrew Tate 1 month ago:
The problem with that logic is that anyone can be let off the hook for immoral/illegal behaviour as long as they have said beforehand that they’ll do it.
If I walk into a shop and tell the shopkeeper I’m going to rob them should I then get to take whatever I want with impunity?
- Comment on Lauren Southern accuses Tommy Robinson of lying to protect alleged 'rapist' Andrew Tate 1 month ago:
I know what you’re saying but:
If they abused her it is them who are responsible, not her.
Pretty straightforward.
- Comment on Reform councillor would like to see wage cuts to fund his pay rise 1 month ago:
All of these attacks on Nigel’s Party are so lucid, objective and principled. We do we handicap ourselves so?
- Comment on Silent Courier: UK intelligence service MI6 launches dark web portal to recruit foreign spies 2 months ago:
I’m usually cautious about the establishment extending its capabilities but since all of my ideas about cooperative and global humanitarianism now suddenly appear to be out of sync with reality I just want my own boys and girls to be harder than theirs are.
- Comment on If the UK government proposed to increase tax by 1% and make trains free would you be in favour? 2 months ago:
Totally. Especially if the rich can’t get around it.
- Comment on Thames Water paid £1m-plus to corporate intelligence firm part-owned by Starmer adviser 2 months ago:
It’s almost unbelievable how grotesque this situation is.
£20 billion in the hole, after paying dividends and bonuses, poisoning national waters and not fixing leaks and you can still find £130 million to pay spies, one if whom is already the Prime Minister’s bumchum, to try and stop the government nationalising you before the situation gets even worse.
Not sure whether I’m more disgusted at Thames Water or the government tbh.
How are Labour supposed to get the ‘highest growth in the G7’ while at the same time protecting the most outrageously failing companies?
- Comment on Bridget Phillipson: parents must do more about bad behaviour and attendance in schools 2 months ago:
You can have both parents go out and work full-time to make ends meet (don’t ask about economic inequality) or you can have them around to raise their children. You can’t have both Bridget, I’m sorry.
