- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 11 hours ago:
I don’t think we can predict it
Ummm…
I believe the decline will happen in our lifetimes
…that’s a prediction :-)
Here’s mine:
First famine: 2028
World reaching half 2025 population: 2031
Year brexit becomes irrelevant: 2028
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 1 day ago:
None of us can predict that
Sure we can. A prediction is stating what we think will happen, not stating what will happen.
It will be gradual, and we will suffer a painful decline long before other countries in mainland Europe
What do you mean by “long”?
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 1 day ago:
it will be gradual rather than instantaneous
Of course it won’t be “instantaneous” but I still can’t see how brexit will have an impact. The people who experience the first famine will be the same ones who experience the death of billions. Brexit will mean nothing.
I’m curious, would you be willing to put some dates to your expectations?
- Year of first famine.
- Year that population reaches half of 2025 population.
- Year that brexit ceases to be relevant to living people.
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 1 day ago:
When we’re facing food shortages around the world, the UK will suffer before others.
Firstly, this doesn’t follow from what preceded it. States in the EU aren’t the only states on the planet that export food.
Secondly, I think I see what you’re trying to say: you think that as the planet slides into famine, the UK will be worse off compared to EU states in particular because during the slide into death, the slope will be ever so slightly steeper than some countries in the EU.
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 1 day ago:
we will be the first to suffer
Uhh… eh? What do you mean?
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 3 days ago:
countries can sell to their neighbours
They can’t sell food they don’t have. How can you still be thinking that climate change is going to be like a temporary blip in food supply? Don’t you understand that we’re all fucked? You really think that Brexit and all the rest of the bureaucratic nonsense people have considered to be important up until now will mean anything when half the population of the planet is starving to death? Don’t you get where we’re headed?

A click bait headline would also be “Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature”.
- Comment on Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature 4 days ago:
Do you understand what “clickbait” means?
- Comment on Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature 5 days ago:
I didn’t say the posting of the title was clickbait, I said the title was click-bait.
- Comment on Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature 5 days ago:
Click-bait title
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 5 days ago:
The UK is known for rain
Had been known for rain. Until recently. When the climate started shitting on the status quo.
will let me know which you are
ROFL
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 5 days ago:
A free trade agreement wouldn’t make any difference, we’re all fucked either way.
- Comment on Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say 5 days ago:
Speak for yourself. The climate’s a bit fucked in case you hadn’t noticed. Each year now I wonder: is this the year we face the first famine? (Of the many to come, until most of us are dead?)

- Comment on John Lithgow Won't Let J.K. Rowling Haters Bully Him Into Quitting ‘Harry Potter’ Role 2 weeks ago:
Rowling is transphobic, that’s a fact
This Vox article misrepresents at least the first of the events it lists. It says
“this is notable because the piece made the basic argument Rowling continues to make today, namely that trans women are by default part of a “male-bodied” group who are dangerous to women and who should not have access to women’s bathrooms”
and this is true because the Medium article it’s taking about, which Rowling liked, is indeed referring to a “male-bodied” group, that group being males:
“You have read our painful disclosures, our universal cries of me too! You have had a taste of what it might be like to try to navigate a male dominated world as a woman, and of how a socially conditioned fear of male bodies might ingrain itself.”
But in the tweet the Vox article quotes, they misrepresent the Medium article as referring not to males but to trans women:
‘JK Rowling hitting that like button on a “trans women are rapists” piece’
This is a non sequitur.

Your comment reads as though it’s from a person who either doesn’t try to enjoy life or doesn’t enjoy life.

- Comment on Disabled man dies in poverty and squalor after DWP removes his benefits, just as Labour cuts PIP by £4.5bn 1 month ago:
Their bosses give them targets for denying as much in benefits as they can. The front line workers are traumatised by their own actions and tend to develop unhealthy coping strategies. One of those strategies is dehumanising claimants but there are many other terrible strategies.
When I was made unemployed a few years ago, I didn’t make any benefit claims in order avoid having contact with the DWP.

This doesn’t provide any insight into the problems boys are facing, only the consequences.

Out of curiosity, what problems are you referring to?

Why would your careers need to restart? I took an 18 month sabbatical and went right back in to work.

Non voters cannot be counted as objectors or supporters.
There’s no reason that they must be counted as anything.
- Comment on Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible 1 month ago:
As such they must be assumed to divide as the vote was.
This is a non sequitur.
Regardless, OP was talking about votes explicitly.
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 1 month ago:
To me it’s irrelevant
I think that’s the crux of the issue. You’ve conflated your interests and the author’s purposes.
Now you answer my question.
Nah.
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 1 month ago:
You didn’t answer my question
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 1 month ago:
The article is about the couple being fined for finding the stowaway after they left the port, the gender, age and reason the stowaway came to the UK is irrelevant to that.
Why do you believe the gender and age were included in the article?
