- Comment on Andy Burnham launches campaign against ‘headphone dodgers’ on public transport 5 days ago:
I’d mostly like them to decriminalise peace protesting, stop taking orders from The Israeli government, and return basic human rights to trans people - but in the absence of any of those, this is still a win.
- Comment on Police investigate Reform mayor for allegedly sharing ‘naked and sexualised’ images of himself 6 days ago:
Didn’t he only join the Reform Party after they offered to “make his allegations disappear”?

I hope they get washed afterwards

- Comment on Journalists Arrested Under Terrorism Act at Protest Against Israeli Arms Company 1 week ago:
It depends what you want to be free to speak about.
“All the environmental stuff is false and climate change isn’t real” = This is acceptable free speech in the UK.
“COVID was all lies and isn’t real and everyone who died was faking it” = This is acceptable free speech in the UK.
“Let’s kill foreign people and sink their boats so they all die” = This is acceptable free speech in the UK.
“Trans women aren’t real women and they shouldn’t be allowed to use public toilets, vote or have jobs” = This is acceptable free speech in the UK
“We should form a mob, burn down half of our local city centre, destroy scores of local small businesses, drag foreign-looking people out of cars, sexually assault any foreign-looking women we see and basically trash an entire postcode of a city causing fear and terror to everyone who lives there” = This is acceptable free speech in the UK, and what poor, adorable, misunderstood patriots they are.
“I’m not 100% convinced that everything Israel does is entirely perfect” = This is NOT acceptable free speech in the UK. You are a terrorist, we will send 12 officers to kick the shit out of you, and then you will be arrested and locked up for months without trial, then convicted as a terrorist.

“Oh sorry, you meant that kind of delete. Yeah, I see the problem now - you see, ‘delete’ is one of our internal terms for ‘sell the data to anyone who offers enough money’”

That seems a very sensible way of doing things.

Half of the UK didn’t want to fucking leave in the first place.
- Comment on Tiddies are nice but the metric system is better 3 weeks ago:
I’m not 100% sure on the accuracy of this data, but is ever there was a place to paste this information, it is here.
Average Tiddy weight per boob by cup size, in Metric and Lemmy scales
A cup = 0.454kg = 1.1 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
B cup = 0.78kg =1.9 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
C cup = 1.023kg = 2.4 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
D cup = 1.388kg = 3.3 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
E cup = 1.950kg = 4.6 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
F cup = 2.35kg = 5.6 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
- Comment on NHS bodies in England impose two-year minimum wait for ADHD and autism assessments 3 weeks ago:
On the plus side - on this specific occasion, if you’re underslept and therefore more confused, stressed and easily distracted etc, it will at least work in your favour for the assessment.
I hope it goes well for you!
- Comment on NHS bodies in England impose two-year minimum wait for ADHD and autism assessments 3 weeks ago:
Ah, got you. Sorry, I misunderstood. But yeah, I’m sure they’re not all like that (I’d imagine most are actually very good). Anyway, I genuinely hope yours goes well. It sounds like you’ve had an awful time of it so far.
- Comment on Andy Burnham announces new homes scheme for first-time buyers 3 weeks ago:
That’s still likely average across the North - I mean, you can still get 2-bed terraces £50,000 - £100,000 in some areas.
I don’t know what anyone south of the M62 is meant to do though.
- Comment on NHS bodies in England impose two-year minimum wait for ADHD and autism assessments 3 weeks ago:
Oh, I fully believe it - and I don’t think they should bin off people already on the waiting lists. My objection is towards the NHS paying a few grand to a private company for each assessment, even if it’s shit, as opposed to being properly funded to do it themselves. You have my sympathies.

Always remember that the Metro is owned and run by the far-right Daily Mail group.
- Comment on NHS bodies in England impose two-year minimum wait for ADHD and autism assessments 4 weeks ago:
That’s really useful, thanks - and actually makes a lot more sense of the article. Thanks for looking that up and explaining it clearly :)
Now understanding a bit more, I’m not too angry about it. Some of these private assessors are doing a half-arsed job, then charging the NHS a fortune for it, then leaving the NHS to deal with their shoddy half-done assessments.
- Comment on NHS bodies in England impose two-year minimum wait for ADHD and autism assessments 4 weeks ago:
I don’t quite understand how a “minimum wait” makes any sense. I understand a “likely waiting list time”, such as “we process this many per day, and there are this many on the list, therefore it’ll take about three years for anyone newly applying to be seen”.
They process a certain amount per day, so after two years, you’re either at the front of the queue or you’re not. Unless they catch up with the waiting list and then say “we’re not doing any assessments for three months, because we have a minimum wait time”.

Yeah, but they spell it “scronge”.
- Comment on Lib Dems reject ‘discriminatory and unworkable’ EHRC guidance on transgender people 4 weeks ago:
It doesn’t address their important issues like “doing what Israel says”.
Is there any way to use former Eurovision winner Dana International, who is both Israeli and trans?
“Not fixing this miswritten legislation offends Israeli former Eurovision winner Dana International which means not fixing it is antisemitic and therefore must be top priority for the current ‘Labour’ party”
- Comment on Only 25 per cent of children walk to school alone compared to 86 per cent in 1971. What went wrong? 4 weeks ago:
I think you’re more likely to have your phone nicked in Barcelona. Anyway, yeah, phones being nicked in London may be true, but there’s huge swathes of the UK that aren’t London - entire counties with not even a shred of London in them.
Walking to school is safer and less polluted than it was 30 or 40 years ago. When I went, being driven to or from school was reserved for a couple of posh kids and a couple of kids who lived too far “in the sticks”. The school itself ran buses to the nearby towns that had kids at the school. Pretty much everyone in the same town as the school walked or got a local bus.

- Comment on Small but mighty! Remembering the GameCube, Nintendo’s purple box of delights 4 weeks ago:
You do realise you can easily run them on a normal computer? “Dolphin”, the emulator, will run fine on really old or low-spec hardware (like 10-15 year old bog-standard laptop).
- Comment on ‘Cost of housing’ crunch looms for low-income families, warns Resolution Foundation 5 weeks ago:
Sort of, but not so much a “wave” as a casual lifelong commitment.
- Comment on Billionaire Manchester United owner says he has lost confidence in the UK 5 weeks ago:
'Sir Jim said the politics of envy was driving people away from the UK.
“In America they applaud people who create wealth,” he said. “Unfortunately the UK has got a bit of a green eye towards wealth at the moment.”’
What a stupid fucking bastard. He genuinely thinks we’re all jealous of his immoral wealth hoarding, and believes he is a “wealth creator”.
I don’t want £1,000,000,000 pounds in my bank account, mate. I want everyone on my street to have £30,000 in theirs.
