- Comment on NHS launches 24/7 mental health text service 4 days ago:
The service can be used by people living in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Milton Keynes.
This seems like the kind of service that should be national; people from outside those regions might try to use it and have it not work.
- Comment on UK found to be ‘dangerously’ reliant on China for critical minerals needed for defence and AI 4 days ago:
The UK is also dangerously reliant on the US.
- Comment on Suggest me some games. Im bored :( 6 days ago:
In addition to free game suggestions, I would suggest periodically looking at gg.deals to get commercial games at significant discounts.

Arson intended to be a hate crime against asylum seekers.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Because of how games are being developed now and with no mention of it one way or the other on your GitHub page, was any AI used in the development of your project? I recommend stating so on your project page as well.
- Comment on MP loses fight to block gambling venue 2 weeks ago:
The site has been vacant since March 2022 and the applicant said the venue would create two full-time and two part-time jobs.
Gambling is an industry that sucks more out of society than it gives back in return. Manufacturing or service-based industries would be far more beneficial.

Thank you for maintaining gaming standards. 👍

- Comment on Met Police urge students to move 7 October protest 5 weeks ago:
More than 900 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza this year despite the ceasefire, according to latest figures from the territory’s Hamas-run Ministry of Health.
The BBC framing the statistics as coming from a ‘Hamas-run’ entity without also mentioning that the UN considers the data to be reliable is a deliberate undermining of genocide claims.

Trump sees opportunities for corruption everywhere.
- Comment on UK ticket holder wins 'life-changing' £111m EuroMillions jackpot 1 month ago:
Statistically most people still lose money gambling; news outlets shouldn’t encourage it by reporting on the statistically insignificant winners.
- Comment on Every UK Billionaire to be Assigned a Tax Compliance Manager 1 month ago:
Better to make the Bloomberg article the primary one to make it clear to users that the article is from Bloomberg before opening the thread.
- Comment on UK's 'dismal' Eurovision song choices to be examined by MPs 1 month ago:
The Israeli government also invests in marketing to encourage its citizens to vote in Eurovision.

I think he represented his position well.
- Comment on UK paying £56,000 for each person returned to France under ‘one in one out’ scheme 1 month ago:
She said: “If you’re a failed asylum-seeking family, what you’re trading off is an offer of £40,000, which will help you resettle back in your country of origin, versus, you know, access to free healthcare and education for your children.”
If people are being paid to leave the U.K. and return to their country of origin, seemingly it would be more efficient just to fund stability-improvement programs in applicable countries to reduce the outflow of asylum seekers?

Someone should test the stylus with Pokémon Ranger.
- Comment on Driver who killed Team GB triathlete to be deported 1 month ago:
He said “the very significant public interest in deportation outweighs the appellant’s private and family life considerations.”
Deporting long-time immigrants for non-repeat offenses falsely implies that they are more likely to reoffend than British citizens. By giving disproportionate attention to such cases, more people end up voting Reform in the false belief that immigrants commit more crimes than average.
- Comment on Amnesty: 10 ways censorship has silenced Hong Kong’s dissenting voices and their impact on the UK 1 month ago:
While China is indeed suffocating freedom of expression and democracy in Hong Kong, Amnesty’s article on the matter is ironic given their own capitulation to J.K. Rowling’s legal threats.

PS5 discs can store up to 100 GB.
- Comment on Trump shares misleading video of King Charles and fainting worker 1 month ago:
Captions saying “the side of Trump the media doesn’t show you” and “the people’s president” appear during some of the clips and the song A Thousand Years by Christina Perri plays throughout the video.
Trump is as far from being ‘the people’s president’ as it gets.
- Comment on J.K. Rowling Is Turning A Free Speech Victory Into A Defeat 2 months ago:
Justification of transphobia is disgusting.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Earlier this year, several sports organizations, including Parkrun, were facing potential legal action over their inclusivity – this was spearheaded by the U.S-based Alliance for Defending Freedom, known for targeting LGBTQ+ people and organizations and championing far-right causes in court.
Organizations with the primary goal of denying minorities equal rights shouldn’t be allowed to use ‘freedom’ in their names.

Manufactured consent.
- Comment on Andy Burnham defends Home Office booklet urging asylum seekers not to rape women 2 months ago:
Then they should be provided with mental health support beyond merely a pamphlet that implies that foreign cultures tolerate sexual assault and rape at higher levels than the UK.
- Comment on Andy Burnham defends Home Office booklet urging asylum seekers not to rape women 2 months ago:
Handing it out just to immigrants falsely pre-assumes that immigrants are more likely to commit rape; if reducing rape is the motive (rather than bowing to xenophobia), then those pamphlets should be handed out to British nationals too.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Because most people equate the more marketable term ‘WiFi’ with it and most people don’t use Ethernet.
- Comment on Co-op scraps policy allowing trans staff to use toilets they ‘feel safest’ 2 months ago:
Then the UK law would require all such bathrooms to be single-occupant, something that may not be practical for large establishments where multiple patrons of each gender may need to use the bathrooms simultaneously.
The genderless, single-occupant bathrooms argument is a solution derived for a non-existent problem; transgender women are women and transgender men are men and instituting policy that disregards that is discriminatory.
- Comment on Co-op scraps policy allowing trans staff to use toilets they ‘feel safest’ 2 months ago:
Because installing them is still exclusionary to trans people, telling them that they do not belong to the gender they identify as and/or that they are a danger to the people of the gender that they identify as.
