  Oh yes totally. I think that’s the way I was introduced to them.

  Maybe it’s just me but UK Subs are a reasonably big band in the UK. Always on the festival circuit and been around forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Britain Issues Travel Warning for US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My sleep deprived brain read this as: “Britain’s Tissue Travel Warning for US”.

  What the actual…?!

  OK buddy, don’t Luigi me 🤣.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi Mangione, accused of US CEO murder, depicted in London mural⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When you stop solving your problems with violence. It’s a pretty simple concept. And yet you are confused 🤔.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi Mangione, accused of US CEO murder, depicted in London mural⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No my friend. I’m not equating the health and education systems literally. Obviously. I’m taking your principle of “the system is bad, much oppressors, where’s my rifle?” and applying it elsewhere to show how bad your approach is.

  Standing up to your oppressors is constructive

  Mate, you don’t live in Gaza 🤣. Why are your solutions so violent and extreme? Enjoy your downward spiral.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi Mangione, accused of US CEO murder, depicted in London mural⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Stop simping for corporate leeches.

  I’m not defended your health care system. Read my other replies. Your health care sucks balls and we feel really bad for you. I’m saying that murdering people isn’t good neither is encouraging it. Big difference 👍.

  If you don’t like your unfortunate situation then do something constructive and positive about it. Heck, educate yourself well enough to move it you feel so strongly about it. Imagine if people took the same attitude to your education system that they happen to be aggrieved with. Sooner or later the US will be overwhelmed with mass school killings because some jackass “hated the school system that failed him”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi Mangione, accused of US CEO murder, depicted in London mural⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What have you tried? What have you personally tried?

  For example, have you got together in your locality and created a shared insurance scheme for you and your neighbours? Basically adopt a version of French / German healthcare insurance on a local level? Have you tried that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi Mangione, accused of US CEO murder, depicted in London mural⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No one went “straight to murder”

  This Luigi chap did…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi Mangione, accused of US CEO murder, depicted in London mural⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And yet we see a murderer venerated 🤷.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi Mangione, accused of US CEO murder, depicted in London mural⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree the US health care system is pretty fucked up and I feel bad for people in the US. But are you saying that killing is the answer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s X obtains $44bn valuation in sharp turnaround⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the calculation that investors / the stock market is making here? That in time Twitter will become less of a cesspit and that ads can be served? Or is this just YOLO money?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi Mangione, accused of US CEO murder, depicted in London mural⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They might have tried it in different ways, and it might be really difficult I don’t deny that. But the alternative of murder seems a little overkill, no?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi Mangione, accused of US CEO murder, depicted in London mural⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s why you need a fair legal system.

  This.

  If the police weren’t going to do anything about the CEO, then sadly, it’s ultimately necessary for a vigilante to step up.

  But not this.

  If someone (a CEO, a powerful business man, a politician, whatever) is doing something so egregiously wrong then club together to raise awareness, take legal action, shame them in the press, set up you own alternatives. Going straight to murder is not the answer.

  Yet it scares me that so many people think it is 😢😬.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi Mangione, accused of US CEO murder, depicted in London mural⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Internet jokes aside, it seems pretty weak to be venerating killers like this.

  I’ll accept your down votes with grace.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK residents need to take action to protect their data, privacy and freedom of speech NOW!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My friend. A polite request for more information does not need to be met with such a pugnacious response.

  If you want to help people be aware and take corrective action, then help them understand the issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK residents need to take action to protect their data, privacy and freedom of speech NOW!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A link to what they are doing would be nice 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing from the EEC survived into the EU then? In your opinion. None of the trade agreement or treaties or policies. When it morphed into the EU all that was dropped and replaced by general cooperation amongst member states I suppose?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Touche

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it will first have to stop treating EU membership like a glorified trade agreement

  What do you think the EEC was?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck getting this past the Labour government. They are firmly rooted to remaining (excuse the pun) outside the EU. This is even before you attempt to get it past Conservative opposition or fringe party Reform nutters.

  If the party in power isn’t going to champion this then it’s an instant no go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Centuries-old leasehold system to be abolished in England and Wales⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No they’ll still love it. And coincidentally that’s the same reason Labour won’t adopt it either. All of the Greens, Reform, and Lib Dems split their vote too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Centuries-old leasehold system to be abolished in England and Wales⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They never will. Labour and the Tories love it too much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Carole Cadwalladr dropped by Tortoise ahead of Observer takeover⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is an agreement a contract? Sorry to be pedantic but I’m not sure what the fuss is about here if not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Carole Cadwalladr dropped by Tortoise ahead of Observer takeover⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Who’s her contract with? GMG or Tortoise 🐢? Sounds like she needs to take action against GMG for breach of contract in that case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Carole Cadwalladr dropped by Tortoise ahead of Observer takeover⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do companies have a duty to look out for the interests of non permanent freelance staff in situations like this? In most cases they’ve set themselves up as separate legal companies to benefit from reduced tax liabilities. I wonder what the full picture here is. Sounds a bit far fetched especially when the freelancer bad mouths the company constantly.

  Maybe we should ask Carole to investigate this. Do one of her prize winning journalists scoops.

  Good luck getting that back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Britain will not recognise Trump’s new name for Gulf of Mexico⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the name will not change on official maps in Britain unless “Gulf of America” becomes the most commonly used name for it by English speakers. Officials believe that is not likely for some time, if at all.

  I wonder what the higher bar is? This or if the UN (or another international body) recognises the name?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Britain will not recognise Trump’s new name for Gulf of Mexico⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Mexican president 🤣.

  “For us, it is still the Gulf of Mexico, and for the entire world it is still the Gulf of Mexico,” said Claudia Sheinbaum, the Mexican president, on Tuesday. She previously joked that Mexico should refer to the US as “Mexican America”.

  Yes!
