- Comment on Why is it a common insult for someone to say they slept with your mom? 2 months ago:
One in three is not one-in-ten one might expect. And it’s not hundreds it’s thousands of women making false claims for money against male victims.
We don’t have population (in the statistical sense) data to know for sure. Maybe the passport biometric data will eventually let us know for sure.
However, there are other individuals involved, usually in the act of conception, not just women.
“I’m on the pill/implant/coil … you don’t have to wear a condom. Take the condom off.”. A female paedophile teacher has just been jailed here because the baby made it kind-of obvious she was lying. Apparently she got pregnant whilst she was on bail with the same child.

Well they’ve proved themselves more interested in low hanging fruit, rather than criminality.

My bad!
- Comment on Conservative MP Daniel Poulter defects to Labour 5 months ago:
They’ve got another Tory leading the Labour party advised by Tony Blair (himself a Thatcherite).
Guido where are you now?!
In reality, he’s probably trying to save himself from the dole queue.
- Comment on Sunak to cite Britain’s ‘sicknote culture’ in bid to overhaul fit note system 5 months ago:
The Tories have gone out of their way to make working beneficial for people other than those actually doing the working. Some offshore toting moron called Dave decided that austerity was the way to go. So we did.
Everything I see around me reminds me of 1970s Britain when we were forced to join the EU because the country was bankrupt. They’re even advertising those chairs that are suspended from the ceiling, and everything is coloured brown again. “Abigail’s Party” will be coming to Netflix next week.
I write as one of Thatcher’s children who loved the 1980s.
I currently advocate Anarchy (using the formal definition of anarchy not what you imagine it is), or our mate Guido with a decent level of follow through.
- Comment on How do genocides happen? 5 months ago:
Someone who is quite persuasive gets wedded to an idea quite thoroughly. Others disagree with the idea but only after the first person gains enough supporters to make it happen.

It’s just a recent example instance of one of the search results.
You’re better off trying the same search and picking a few links to follow.

Thank you kind netizen!
- Comment on Head of Britain’s police chiefs says force ‘institutionally racist’ 8 months ago:
Just run yourself a query “FoI uk police with criminal convictions”. FoI stands for “freedom of information”.
Eg. met.police.uk/…/serving-police-officers-criminal-…
You won’t be surprised to learn, from clicking a few of the results, that high ranking officers are convicted of serious crimes but are still great police officers.
Then, try the same query again with rape and sexual assault.

There usually are multiple fucks.
- Comment on Ex-PM David Cameron appointed foreign secretary in Cabinet reshuffle 10 months ago:
He wasn’t even a good PM, and now …
I’m still pissed that they/he screwed over the Alternative Vote referendum - a path to the Proportion Representation.
Looks like we’re heading to a zealous two party system, like the States to me. That’s never a good idea. The two parties are both trying to claim the middle ground but both are incompetent.
That doesn’t matter to them: in a two party system, not-the-other-one is a legitimate voting basis.

- Comment on Don't allow others to consume you... 10 months ago:
Boomers don’t do that shit; there was a huge shortage of kids - that’s literally why they’re called boomers. Gen X don’t do that shit - there were no mobiles or internet - we met people by being outside, a concept you totally missed out on. Look it up on Google.
Those memes are totally Gen Y and Z issues; created by you for you. Your world, not ours. Fucking hilarious.
Enjoy!
- Comment on Bank of England Keeps Rates at 15-year High 10 months ago:
They controlled interest rates like Nigel Lawson, mentioning a blip after jump-starting the economy, slashing tax rates in the eighties and setting up a election win. Inflation hit mid/late-double digits.
The only thing I applauded Brown for was the delegation of the inflation control brief to the BoE. And now we’re back to the inflation roller coaster that we were.
FFS.

[UK] There must be thousands of electric milk floats left over from the 1970s.
Enormous storage potential in flatbed. Obvious business opportunities. Plus you get to annoy vegans. Not to be missed.
