- Comment on ‘Mistrust’ of Palantir may affect NHS research, says health minister 2 days ago:
Here’s a thought, you idiots in Whitehall: Palantir aren’t doing any that your beloved UK university researchers can’t do. Fund them properly to conduct this research driving British employment and innovation.
Or not… Whatever is easiest I suppose.
- Comment on Mike Huckabee criticised for accusing Jewish UK foreign secretary of 'Jew hate' 5 days ago:
Let’s not beat around the bush: what Huckabee means is that someone opposes US interests in the Middle East and that cannot stand. For Mike it doesn’t matter that Ed Miliband is Jewish. If he says something that calls into question the US funding for industrialised genocide then he must be called out.
Mike is a twat.

How does a Greek-Irish-German Jewish Britain grow up to such a hateful cunt? He’s been seriously failed by life.

Anyways, enjoy your life. Take care. 👍
- Comment on Llaneli man reached 140mph to 'get to gym after argument' and hit taxi 3 weeks ago:
But he didn’t.
What you’re describing is a deliberate act of aggression. Your fictional perpetrator armed himself with a weapon with the sole intention of doing harm.
This kid didn’t get in his car and speed down the street intent on crashing into the cab driver. It was a mistake. A stupid irresponsible mistake. But not a deliberate act. Unless you have evidence the court hasn’t heard? This kid had a grudge on the taxi driver? He diddled him on a cab fare? Refused to pick him up?
Punish this irresponsible kid and ban him from driving. But wishing death upon him. Jesus titty fucking Christ.
- Comment on Llaneli man reached 140mph to 'get to gym after argument' and hit taxi 3 weeks ago:
Damn dude. I was thinking he should be banned for life from driving as punishment as well as serving a stint in jail but thought maybe that comment might have come across as too harsh.
But shit, you went all in!
KILL HIM! REMOVE THIS VOAL FROM MY SIGHT!
Fucking hell, lad. Scary stuff.

Not sure they’ve seen the amount of fake tan and dodgy eyebrows they’ve got going over there. “Anyone darker than they are” must be legitimately pulling all mass and even light towards them!

Ireland is not part of the UK. They’d be very upset, rightly so, if you even suggested they are.
This post has nothing to do with the UK.
- Comment on Primary schools to be told to identify children at risk of future unemployment 5 weeks ago:
Let’s not get fixated on the employment part. There’s also not being in further education. And also not being in training (like an apprenticeship for example).
If you could identify a child that would later on in life struggle to either be in further education or training you’d help them, right?
The solution is more resources per child with constant evaluation and alteration of the system and what it offers, it really is that simple.
That sounds like what this is aimed at doing. Did you read somewhere that all they are doing is putting kids on a naughty list?
- Comment on Primary schools to be told to identify children at risk of future unemployment 5 weeks ago:
Without knowing what they plan to do with children that are identified it is hard to say much more. But the point of school, surely, should be to prepare children for their future such that they can function in a society.
Imagine what you would be doing if you’re later in life classed as being Not in Employment, Education, or Training for anything (what is known as NEET). That doesn’t sound like a very fulfilling life. Giving people extra help such that they can go onto further education, or training for a skill (even if you take umbridge to the word employment) is surely a good thing.
What would you have happen to these children? If you could identify clear markers at an early age?
- Comment on Primary schools to be told to identify children at risk of future unemployment 5 weeks ago:
I decided, against my better judgement, to actually read past the headline 😉.
This follows on from some research that indicates kids are three times more likely to fall into unemployment after they leave school based on some indicators at an early age. So the idea is that these children get extra help to make sure they don’t end up in a lifetime of joblessness. Wouldn’t this be similar to spotting kids that are struggling with English or Maths at an early age to help them before it is too late?
Somehow according to Lemmy this is a bad thing 🤷
