Blocked link, but also, just shut them down if they can’t follow standards

St.George’s Cross would be my metric, to similar effect
- Comment on Andrew Windsor could face private prosecution, Republic says 1 week ago:
Not in the slightest. News occurs to me naturally via diverse sources, I don’t go looking for news about republic campaigning groups, and clearly succeeded in never finding any. Except this reference today. Which I’m emotionless about to be fair. Andrew is a disgrace though, I don’t disagree that he should be dragged through the same shit a commoner would if found noncing
- Comment on Andrew Windsor could face private prosecution, Republic says 1 week ago:
Never heard of them, 52years of first hand experience as a homegrown Brit.

British English took over for me, It was ‘obviously’;
Soldier, bushing, varnish.
Seal, seal, seal.
Couldn’t work out why the top row was with the bottom row at all.
(There are no ‘navy seals’ to us, it’s SBS - special boat service, like SAS but bad-asser, and more secret?)
- Comment on Keir Starmer in crisis as Labour drops to 16% in devastating new poll 1 month ago:
Also, people treat polls as a kick up the arse for the incumbent, then vote on their personal politics come election day. So it’s really unlikely even the lead in the polls will see that in reality.
- Comment on UK could raise nearly £2bn by taxing SUVs in line with European countries, study shows 1 month ago:
If it’s mean to be a single digit multiple of the uk tax, at 3k, then it can’t be 66k
- Comment on UK could raise nearly £2bn by taxing SUVs in line with European countries, study shows 1 month ago:
More sloppy reporting from the guardian, at least proof read the work. Tax £66,610 on an 85,000 vehicle? 3 times as much as the cost in the uk of £3200? I think someone put another 0 on that, ABs they still managed to publish it.
- Comment on Prince Harry makes surprise visit to Ukraine pledging support for thousands injured in war 1 month ago:
He left, so their wealth is not his to spend, but he wouldn’t be in a privileged position to start with without them. Not sure why the Guardian is calling him Prince still though, unless it’s just for reader recognition, rather than just some Harry bloke.

- Comment on UK banks face lawsuits over mortgages that left people with huge debts 1 month ago:
Read the article; “borrowed £33,000 from Barclays in 1998, but her debt to the bank is now estimated at about £660,000 and could rise further.” That is really bad and would never be outweighed by the rise in the property value.
- Comment on Starmer: Leaving ECHR puts UK ‘on par with Russia and Belarus’ 2 months ago:
“Sir Keir Starmer has made a forthright defence of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and said those calling for the country to leave it were “not serious” people.”
First paragraph of the article.
- Comment on They ain't there for you 2 months ago:
You’re violently agreeing again! The point “the common misconception” comment was making was this; it’s common mistake to think HR are there for the employee. HR is to protect the company from employees. They hire and fire as required. There’s only loyalty to the company.
- Comment on human geography 2 months ago:
So you’re not going to tell us the phrase he actually said then? I’ll assume he was offering to have the ‘last suck on this fag’ At least he wasn’t asking to get the last cigarette for free, and therefore would be looking to ‘bum a fag’ All manner of confusion would ensue I’d assume, also being a Brit and I have never heard ‘fag’ being recognised as a slur here, it only means either cigarette or to do mundane tasks for older boys in public(private boarding) schools “oh Tarquin, have you heard? Simpkins is fagging for Fontleroy don’t you know?”
- Comment on Parents in England skipping meals to afford school uniforms, survey finds 2 months ago:
Clip ons for safety, but it’s quite standard
- Comment on Parents in England skipping meals to afford school uniforms, survey finds 2 months ago:
All clothes cost money, and if you wear your street clothes to school they wear out quicker and get replaced more often. So the focus should be cost of uniform, not whether to uniform or not.

- Comment on Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding 3 months ago:
Or if you’re too arrogant and self absorbed to think the rules don’t apply to you.
- Comment on Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding 3 months ago:
Oh yes you can, do 30mph over the speed limit and you will more than likely be banned for that one offence.
- Comment on Dik Piks 3 months ago:
We kind of do have a pronunciation of ü The cornish town Bude, would be pronounced by locals as “Büd” It’s how I explained to my kids how to handle umlaut words, if it was the English word “lane“ imagine it’s spelled ‘laen’ and then get rid of the e to make ‘län’. It’s rare but some English words still use æ as a sound not a pair of letters. Spelæological for caving for instance. Often simplified to speleological.

What’s fucking ridiculous, is that any industry could not have to report water usages. Let alone an environmental disaster area like AI.
- Comment on Driver stops in the middle of a cross ride, and starts using her phone. 4 months ago:
Go right and you’re in oncoming traffic, go left and you’re risking further traffic stopping at this junction crushing you against the back of her car? I’d rather not. Bunny hop and skid mark on the roof is much better
- Comment on Reappraisal of the Geologic Time Scale: Evidence for a 6,001-year-old Earth 4 months ago:
“I first went about the humane capture of the wildlife of C-100. A few peacocks were caught with bear traps, an iguana was captured via a falling piano, and a peacock bass was shot in the face with a shotgun, all in line with the standards set by the Florida Constitution [3].”
- Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights 5 months ago:
That’s my point about permissiveness, if the rights weren’t there about self identifying, but everyone’s ok with it, then it feels like more rights, which may or may not be supported in law. But then when a lack of support in law is being enforced by bad feeling alone, people who want to cry about who’s using which toilet, then the end result is that it feels like a loss of rights. I think it’s a bad thing, but I also understand that in law, being able to do something without a fuss, and then later not being able to, is nothing to do with rights unless the law actually changed.
