• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI to help police catch criminals before they strike⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Before they strike. So not criminals but folks thinking about crime.

  Someone is going to have a greater time fighting that in a court. And the tax payers will end up paying for such dumb ideas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NHS to trial AI tool that speeds up hospital discharges⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Having just left hospital.

  I was held for a few extra days. Not because of paper work. But because multiple doctors needed to agree. And some were much more hesitant then others. Depending on their specialty.

  Both worry about care at home when patients do not have family. And lack of available home help services post austerity has much more to do with bed use then any AI can solve.

  No worse then the Thames.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Brits who want to overthrow the state⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately it’s not just the multiple parties. But left wing voters unwillingness to compromise,

  Honestly for right wing voters the only thing that matters is keeping the left out.

  But the left vote has always split over the smallest of idealism.

  Unfortunately we will never beat FPTP without coming together to do just that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can England possibly be running out of water?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t help but note the most populated part of England. We may build a new canal just from the water flow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can England possibly be running out of water?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Since privatisation. The water industry has sold of 30 resivoires. For development. Just to put money into shareholders pockets.

  Remember this every time the blame the lack of resivoires for water shortages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lammy admits fishing without licence on Vance trip⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If any attempt to keep his error a secret. You may have a point.

  But he was very open about the error. An easy error that many make every year. And fixed by back dating the new licence.

  So no. A minister accepting he has the same requirements to address his errors as any other law abiding citizen. Really is not a negative.

  PS yes it’s been decades since I fished. But historically yes EA inspectors etc allowed expired licence owners found fishing to renew this way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dairy farmers say worker shortage is threatening UK food security⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Simple lack of a regular supply is a food security issue.

  It has to be replaced and ensuring the alternative exist is an issue that takes land and effort.

  At a time when farms harvest have failed. Alternatives also have issues.

  Stop looking for reasons not to care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dairy farmers say worker shortage is threatening UK food security⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. Running out wise.

  But the taste of the alternatives is simply not milk. Many find alternatives unpleasent. So their will always be a demand.

  But yeah that demand is currently artificially high due to low pricing by supermarkets/delivery competition.

  The whole thing is making things hard for dairy farms. Not just staffing that is more to do with the pricing.

  But the whole supermarkets avoiding uK providers for cheese etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dairy farmers say worker shortage is threatening UK food security⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If milk disappears. You will wake up to us old tea drinking zombies trying to eat brains.

  Just a warning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese firm a leading contender to buy Thames Water, reports say⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Only interested if the gov takes on all the debt.

  So likely just going to sell off more assets and gain any wealth the can before letting it fail again.

  Selling off to private investors is just moving the issue to another government while making tax payers pay for that,especially behaviours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Children at Scouts camp mistaken for migrants⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting how this, rowers etc. Is all confirming the right-wing conspiracy shit claiming a summer riot is coming.

  Do not consider this anything less than right-wing troublemakers. Intentionally looking for victims to attack. Trying to over emphasis public fear above its real level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK Government to be Sued in Arbitration Court by Coal Firm Represented by Tory MP⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So going into arbitration. When a UK legal court has already ruled the contract as illegal under UK law.

  Arbitration has no authority to enforce criminal actions.

  This looks like nothing but a desperate attempt to force bullshit and I’m stunned Starmer is not using parliament to clearly state no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Only if you can get agreement among that legion.

  Otherwise you are just disprates groups.

  This why the wealthy control the media so well.

  Cartoon of billionaire telling you the immigrant wants to steel your penny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They may live their. But only the poor ones care.

  Recent changes in rightwing policy seems to make it clear, the wealthy are taking a we can protect our livesyle approach. Fuck the po folk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨John Harris: Rightwingers warn of another blaze of summer riots in Britain – but they’re the ones striking the match⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hold on here. When political leaders call for violence to force a gov to implement their own policy.

  We seem to have lots of laws to control that. So unless his statements are entirely withing parliamentary session. Why the fuck is he not facing prison,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeremy Corbyn attacks Angela Rayner for selling off allotments⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As I am sure you know our primary source of food is not random allotments.

  It used to be. As recently S THE 1970s gardens and allotments were the source of the majority of grown food.

  Supermarkets being the default is a very recent thing.

  It was even common in the past post war period for green grocers to buy goods from local allotments growers.

  Unfortunately the move to commercial production has done huge harm. In both product variety as allotment farmers tended to use more seed varieties then farmers do. But also in the use of steril crops.

  All done purely to increase profits while reducing the diversity allowing crops to survive extra. Conditions.

  Honestly if people cannot see how important such things are, they are not thinking fully,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeremy Corbyn attacks Angela Rayner for selling off allotments⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been and seriose issue for decades.

  In poor urban areas few have gardens. So to allow poor to continue to grow some of their own quality food. Post WW2 the allotment scheme was kept for such areas. As for many it was the only option.

  For anyone older we hears about right wing effects to sell off the land at least every 10 years or so. Waiting lints have increased to decades in many areas.

  The land is designed to be cheap to rent. But requires use as an allotment. So age is often how they change hands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blocking Access to Harmful Content Will Not Protect Children Online, No Matter How Many Times UK Politicians Say So⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Same argument made for every form of media that ever existed.

  Issue comes when xealots refuses to allow parents to make that choice. AS THEY HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO DO.

  This is no new argument. It has existed since the creation of the printing press.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dubious UK local news websites with Russian links are receiving cash for coverage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They no longer count as a broadcast channel in the UK. As they gave up(before losing).that licence.

  So ofcom now has limited control.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US envoy to Israel taunts Keir Starmer and likens Gaza assault to Dresden bombing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering the direction the US is headed.

  Overtly repeating many of the ideas and actions of the 1930 fascist government.

  Not really sure leaders of such governments should be considered to have much value in such ideas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BBC News - President Trump arrives in Scotland⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can we crowd fund an artist. To find a spot he must pass by on the way to the pa Ace. Find a mice wall. Any paint a huge baby tromp getting a blow job from Starmer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Climate change doesn't exist,' says Reform UK mayor despite third summer heatwave⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Share a pic. We want to compare 5yo you.

  We won’t laugh. Well we won’t admit we’re Authinf our arses off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High water bills, filthy rivers – and now drought. This is England’s great artificial water crisis of 2025⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also important to remember.

  Since privatisation. Water companies have sold of 30 reservoirs for development. Without replacing them.

  Our current shortages exist purely because, water companies took the spare storage, and stole the investment funds to pay share holders.

  Climate change is real. But summer water shortages are not related.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  UK yes. As long as controlled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Repeat offenders and unlicensed drivers happen here as well. But the use of cameras makes it much harder then the past.

  But having lived in the US. Most of it has so little public transport not driving is impossible. Here it is doable in all but the most remote areas. Just crap compared to the 80s and before. It is still way better the most cities in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vast Majority Of Brits Back A Wealth Tax On The Super-Rich, Poll Reveals⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really the question.

  My opinion (and it is just that) is based on Corbyn response to being attached to the party. He dose not seem interested in being a front runner again.

  Plus there are at least 40 current labour MPs who may move over before the next election. A new name without his media history is likely exactly what is needed ATM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vast Majority Of Brits Back A Wealth Tax On The Super-Rich, Poll Reveals⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be very surprised if Corbyn leads this new party.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Given a sycamore can like for 500 years although 300 is more common.

  If that the maths we follow. Potential live lost to the tree of 350 years is more reasonable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To hoard or not to hoard? UK consumers on the pros and cons of cash⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They say it. Because they have never run a business. Honestly most have no reason to understand how banks charge for cash payments.

  For small businesses they also assume the business dose not pay cash into the bank. Also the fact many small store historically charged users for small card transactions. Gives many 40s plus customers a out dated view of how the banks charge. The cash in cash out cash and carry retail business no longer exists. But the fact that many local store used to work that way to reduce costs still effects many customers opinions.

  As for lack of data. They say that because it’s basically true. All card transactions do store data.
