- Comment on Are there communities online where artists share their art for free / donation? 1 week 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 1 week 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? 1 week 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 1 week 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? 2 weeks ago:
Then how do you explain this: Image
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 2 weeks ago:
Everyone knows that it HAS though
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 2 weeks ago:
It definitely has
- Comment on Green Party membership surges even higher as Labour loses a member every 10 minutes 2 weeks ago:
Thanks!
- Comment on Bath is a beautiful city. But why is it so increasingly impossible to live there? 2 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 2 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? 2 weeks ago:
Yes it has
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 2 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 2 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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) 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago:
Now we’re talking.
- Comment on Lauren Southern accuses Tommy Robinson of lying to protect alleged 'rapist' Andrew Tate 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 1 month 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? 1 month 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 1 month 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.
- Comment on Flags as symbols of prejudice, not pride – and a distinct air of menace. Welcome to England 2025 2 months ago:
They shouldn’t get to claim Englishness for their own politics without a challenge.
- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 2 months ago:
You’ll just get used to it over time. Think of it as spatial rather than numeric.
It’s actually easier on the brain in my opinion.
- Comment on Angela Rayner hit with legal challenge over datacentre on green belt land 2 months ago:
I think it’s both. For example if you personally bought a piece of agricultural land and applied for planning to build a home on it yourself, you’d almost certainly be rejected.
Despite what you might hear there is still plenty of space though: Buildings cover less of Britain than the land revealed when the tide goes out.
People just doesn’t want any of you to have somewhere to live on it.
- Comment on Britain’s lawyers are refusing to turn their back on Russian money 2 months ago:
Funny that they have option not to really.
- Comment on Do you have a high street full of gambling shops breeding poverty and addiction? I have a way to fight back 2 months ago:
Communities feel powerless because the law gives betting firms the upper hand.
One could say that the odds are stacked against them.
