I’m sure Laura Kuenssberg’s salary could save them a few bob.
- Comment on Female asylum seekers report being sexually assaulted by British men 1 week ago:
You think words can be dehumanizing but not actions?
No, I think dehumanisation is a verb, it’s something someone does to another person. It’s something you’re doing, but you justify it when it’s something your victim also does. But that makes you no better than them - you’re both engaging in dehumanisation. The act is abhorrent no matter the excuse. And yet, you defend it, because you think your feelings are exceptional.
- Comment on Horrified children look on as lollipop man in his 70s struck by car on school crossing 1 week ago:
More to the point, they’re generally beloved by children and parents, and almost everyone really.
- Comment on Horrified children look on as lollipop man in his 70s struck by car on school crossing 1 week ago:
The fun thing is we name all the variations on traffic light crossings too, eg pelican, puffin, toucan crossings. It’s bloody lovely.
- Comment on Female asylum seekers report being sexually assaulted by British men 1 week ago:
it’s a dehumanizing act.
There is no such thing.
break that contract in such a way as rape then you void your “humanity”.
And the next step is for government to redefine what “breaks that contract”, thereby dehumanising whoever they like.
You’re just looking for an excuse to jerk off your violence boner.

America is a really fucking big country, and the quality of your education varies so wildly.

Lol lemmy.zip block UK IP addresses.
- Comment on Female asylum seekers report being sexually assaulted by British men 2 weeks ago:
Dehumanising rhetoric is disgusting regardless of whoever it’s targeted at.
Stop it. It makes you worse than anyone you criticise.
- Comment on Men jailed for 'serious incident' outside Bristol airport 2 weeks ago:
My guess is they dared to stop on the road instead of paying to go into the drop off area.
- Comment on [Video] People Against Genocide target DSV's logistics office in Bristol. DSV transport parts and weapons for Israel's biggest arms firm, Elbit Systems. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah the imgur UK block is actually just self-censorship. They claim they did it in solidarity because of the Online Safety Act, but in reality they did it to evade investigation into their dodgy financial dealings.
- Comment on Poole Old Lifeboat Museum shuts after protesters target volunteers 2 weeks ago:
Oh wow, I’m impressed by your in depth knowledge of teenage girls and life in Afghanistan. I should have known you were an expert and everything you’ve said is based on experience and fact.
- Comment on Poole Old Lifeboat Museum shuts after protesters target volunteers 2 weeks ago:
So if they’re not angels, what are they? Do you think they behaved the same way in their previous country? What do you think motivates them?
Have you considered that the same people paying Farage to get you to parrot “stop the boats” might also pay migrants to go into other countries and destabilise them? And you do it for free… you’re such a mug.
- Comment on Poole Old Lifeboat Museum shuts after protesters target volunteers 2 weeks ago:
How many teenage girls do you know who’ve been victimised?

- Comment on Andy Burnham defends Home Office booklet urging asylum seekers not to rape women 5 weeks ago:
It says
Do not photograph or film people in public
In the UK, you should not take pictures of videos of someone without their permission.
It’s not confusing, it’s trying to simplify a nuanced law, but coming out with something much more restrictive.
- Comment on Andy Burnham defends Home Office booklet urging asylum seekers not to rape women 5 weeks ago:
Everything in the information is fine, except the bit about “you’re not able to photograph people without their permission”.
While in the context of the topic that’s true, in general you are allowed to photograph people in public. It’s what you do and the intent behind taking the photos that matters.
The big concern is that people will think this strict “you can never photograph without permission” take from the Home Office is accurate, and then use it to justify harassment of anyone with a camera that they don’t like.
- Comment on Third arrest in murder probe after cyclist punched 5 weeks ago:
The arrests are on conspiracy to commit murder, sounds like the police found messages on their phone about them targeting this guy.
- Comment on Birmingham exodus as 80,000 people flee city 5 weeks ago:
That site is a cancer.
Firefox + ublock origin.
- Comment on Thousands of sex offenders in England and Wales could get libido-suppressing drugs 5 weeks ago:
The point is to put them on medication and release them from prison.
However, ministers are re-evaluating whether to press ahead with Shabana Mahmood’s pledge to explore mandatory chemical castration of serious sex offenders, such as paedophiles and rapists.
This part is the cruelty is the point part.
Not to defend rapists and paedophiles, but chemical castration was what they did to Alan Turing. The government and the legal system cannot be trusted to implement such harsh punishment and not inflict it on innocents.
And more poignantly, Turing’s castration was voluntary as a condition of his early release.
- Comment on ‘BarclayS 5’ Palestine activists will not be tried as terrorists 5 weeks ago:
But after the judge will tack on a terrorism designation and sentencing anyway.
- Comment on Asylum seekers told rape and harassment illegal in UK in new Home Office booklet 5 weeks ago:
Ignorance of the law is not a valid defence, anyway.
- Comment on Asylum seekers told rape and harassment illegal in UK in new Home Office booklet 5 weeks ago:
… but it’s not illegal to take photos of people in public?? Not inherently, anyway. What matters is your intent and what you do with the photos - publishing the photos could be an offence. But generally, you don’t have an expectation of privacy and being photographed or recorded in public is legal.
- Comment on A pattern of negative posts about the BBC 5 weeks ago:
Too many bigots have gained too many supporters
How did they get so much support? In no small part it is because they were promoted on the BBC.
- Comment on Count Binface: My Clacton Victory Speech! 1 month ago:
In his downtime I think he should consider touring with Angine de Poitrine. They’re black and white/white and black, he’s grey, they’re all aliens; it would be a mash up made in heaven.
- Comment on Tributes paid to Jason Arday after ex-Cambridge professor found dead 1 month ago:
Hopefully he’ll be kicked out of the university of Ghent, just like he was at Cambridge.

You’re exactly right.
Writing in The Telegraph, Mr Jenrick said: “We will not pretend this is painless.
He won’t be the one feeling the pain, he is openly admitting that he is setting out to cause pain to British citizens.

- Comment on Jason Arday, former Cambridge university professor, found dead after resigning following plagiarism row 1 month ago:
I think there were other institutions that he had been associated with that also cleared him. Cambridge will likely only look at work he’s done while with them, and defer to Liverpool or others for work he did elsewhere.
- Comment on Jason Arday, former Cambridge university professor, found dead after resigning following plagiarism row 1 month ago:
even if this poor guy did plagiarise blatantly
From what I understand, he didn’t.
