- Comment on Disabled man dies in poverty and squalor after DWP removes his benefits, just as Labour cuts PIP by £4.5bn 6 days 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.
- Comment on Sir Gareth Southgate: Boys need role models, not gaming and porn 2 weeks ago:
This doesn’t provide any insight into the problems boys are facing, only the consequences.
- Comment on Sir Gareth Southgate: Boys need role models, not gaming and porn 2 weeks ago:
young people have problems today
Out of curiosity, what problems are you referring to?

our careers would basically have to restart
Why would your careers need to restart? I took an 18 month sabbatical and went right back in to work.
- Comment on Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible 2 weeks ago:
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 2 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago:
You didn’t answer my question
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 3 weeks 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?
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 3 weeks ago:
LOL
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 3 weeks ago:
Why is it relevant to the article about where he came from?
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 3 weeks ago:
Because that’s not the focus of the article
They went to the trouble of explaining the age of the boy and where he was from and by your logic those bits of information aren’t the focus of the article either.
You’re just guessing, you don’t know. We can all make guesses.
- Comment on Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible 3 weeks ago:
the current crisis
What are you referring to?
- Comment on Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible 3 weeks ago:
Not EU membership.
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 3 weeks ago:
Bizarre that the article doesn’t address the reasons why the boy wanted to come to the UK. As per usual.
- Comment on Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible 3 weeks ago:
a margin of error
What do you mean?
You know what they meant
Yes and I responded appropriately.
- Comment on Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible 3 weeks ago:
Half the country voted to remain.
Firstly, not everyone in the country votes. The turnout for the EU referendum was only 72.2%.
Secondly, of the non-spolied ballots, only 48.1% were in favour of remaining. Which is not only much less than half the country but a good 1.9% away from the minimum 50% required for your statement not to bollocks.
- Comment on Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible 3 weeks ago:
Labour are dedicated to the democratic vote
ROFL
- Comment on Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible 3 weeks ago:
I believe joining the EU would boost the economy, increase global influence, improve collaboration and provide stability & freedom.
ROFL

I’m not sure what you mean by "direct"ing you to a diet?
- Comment on The UK must make big changes to its diets, farming and land use to hit net zero – official climate advisers 5 weeks ago:
A high carbohydrate and so high insulin-producing plant-based diet certainly isn’t healthy for me.
What about a low carbohydrate plant-based diet?
- Comment on The UK must make big changes to its diets, farming and land use to hit net zero – official climate advisers 5 weeks ago:
destroy the planet
We’re not destroying the planet, we’re destroying our offspring (and those of many other species). The planet will still be covered in life after we’re gone.
- Comment on The UK must make big changes to its diets, farming and land use to hit net zero – official climate advisers 5 weeks ago:
Orchards are very different from woodland. Trees need to be evenly planted and have much more space than woods. Probably better than nothing but it’s not the kind of CO2-sink woodland the CCC is talking about.

‘that’s too much proof’
I’ve neither said nor implied that.
my information about the news from the news
Interesting that you’re looking for information about the news rather than information about the government.
The things I said are happening
I disagree.
- Comment on Labour is wilfully ignoring that the climate crisis is at a crunch point. 1 month ago:
The sources more than prove this.
I disagree.
I actually have a folder of saved tabs called 'good things Labour are doing
Ah! So basically it’s just news articles on websites that have convinced you.
