- Comment on Is there a list of all the stuff implemented by far right governments in the "West" ? 11 months ago:
You realise all of those adverbs are subjective in themselves as they a led by the terms “feature aspects” and “tends”. There is no definition that specifies in exact terms because each political sphere is different. Even your final definition has a prediction embedded which is impossible to prove.

Far rightwing is a subjective view. What is far right in most west countries is nothing on the scale of some 3rd world nations.
- Comment on Post Office under criminal investigation for potential fraud over Horizon scandal 11 months ago:
Individuals covered it up. They should serve a lot of time for what they did to a lot of people’s lives. Many innocent people were accused convicted and livelihoods destroyed. Labour really need to look at this once in power. It is a massive disgrace.
- Comment on Depop, Vinted and other apps to share more information with HMRC 11 months ago:
No, I am talking about the government collecting data with the intention of using it to campaign for office.
- Comment on Depop, Vinted and other apps to share more information with HMRC 11 months ago:
Labour didn’t do anything about back then because it was not an issue.
Data farming is a fairly recent abuse. The Tories have just pushed two laws: one was the right to view any bank accounts that are receiving benefits and the other is the right to send spam mail out while campaigning. The first is an abuse towards those without money, as well as a data farming action. The second is what the Cambridge Analytica scandal was about.
This is very much a Tory driven initiative. Labour probably won’t address the issue because it is not visibly destructive. Everything will be about appearance when they come to power. Anything that the Tory media can get hold of to stain the Labour government will be pushed front and centre. Much like the beergate campaign was.
- Comment on On British soil, foreign autocrats target their critics with impunity 11 months ago:
The government is on the take. It is open season on anyone not donating to the Tories.
- Comment on Penny Mordaunt says Boris Johnson's Covid WhatsApp messages went missing 11 months ago:
It should be made a criminal offence to deliberately destroy government records. There needs to be an emphasis that they need to take active steps to protect those records. this lot are taking the piss.

- Comment on UK at risk of ‘failed election’ without major reforms, watchdog warns 11 months ago:
As are Labour. The Tories are not the only culprit here. It was listed in the 1997 Labour manifesto pledge.
We are committed to a referendum on the voting system for the House of Commons. An independent commission on voting systems will be appointed early to recommend a proportional alternative to the first-past-the-post system.

- Comment on UK workers ‘should get day off’ if workplace is hotter than 30C 1 year ago:
You can get air fed suits for toxic environments. I have seen these used in car manufacturing. From accounts of the lads there, they were very heavy to work with.
- Comment on Annual report on education spending a ‘damning indictment of Government’s failure to invest’ 1 year ago:
The most deprived fifth of local authorities receive hourly resources that are 12% higher than areas in the most affluent fifth, after accounting for higher provider costs in London. This results from funding for deprivation, disability and additional language needs in the Early Years National Funding Formula, as well as the Early Years Pupil Premium and the Disability Access Fund.

- Comment on George Monbiot Calls Out Tories Over Rwanda Immigration Policy! - Max Robespierre Youtube 1 year ago:
The answer is very simple, work with the EU. It is what we did before we left. The numbers have gone up since then, it is bloody obvious going it alone is not helping.

- Comment on UK responds to Argentina new president’s pledge to ‘get back’ Falkland Islands 1 year ago:
Considering the financial hole Argentina is in ATM, this wouldn’t be the brightest move if he decided to copy Galtieri. Especially remembering Galtieri invaded in April and was replaced in June of the same year.
- Comment on Brexit backer Dyson says hypocrisy claim over HQ move to Singapore 'incredibly harmful' 1 year ago:
I don’t think there are any cases of exploitation from Dyson. As much as I think he is a shithouse for what he did over Brexit, this claim has nothing to back it up AFAIK.
- Comment on Conservative Party is still receiving large donations from individuals and companies with links to Russia 1 year ago:
It is why they stopped an inquiry into election interference with the Brexit vote.
- Comment on Conservative Party is still receiving large donations from individuals and companies with links to Russia 1 year ago:
Same party except in the UK.

- Comment on Truss-supporting economists call for minimum wage to be frozen, then cut 1 year ago:
You cannot have trickle down economics without having a bunch of paupers to drip money to.
- Comment on James Dyson donates £35m to his old school, Gresham's, funding state of the art facilities 1 year ago:
The UK is more like Russia now than it ever has been in the past. We have active voter suppression, gerrymandering, a government that now control the electoral commission, protest rights removed, and many many more.
The class system is not just about who land anymore. It is about who holds the most controlling influence. Murdoch being a case in point. This is something that is prevalent across the world. I agree that the old land owners should be taxed with respect to inheritance in line with everyone else. We most definitely do not need a king.
- Comment on Truss-supporting economists call for minimum wage to be frozen, then cut 1 year ago:
So that people remember they are morons when it comes to a general election. Complacency will allow these thieving scumbags to come straight back into office.
- Comment on Truss-supporting economists call for minimum wage to be frozen, then cut 1 year ago:
They have changed the picture from white fivers mate.
- Comment on Truss-supporting economists call for minimum wage to be frozen, then cut 1 year ago:
Sunak is listening to them. This is why Hunt is proposing to give tax cuts to the well off in the next budget. We seriously could be looking at yet another UK meltdown before we can remove this lot.
