  Yes, the US have famously been influenced by the opinions of British royalty. They started a war over it, after all!

  Thanks Will but if we need you to say anything we’ll pop over, take the silver spoon out of your mouth, and tell you exactly what to say and how to fucking say it you useless tax parasite.

  Piss in the ocean after the rate went up last month. I almost feel bad for the people who are actively into poverty but will somehow still vote tory at the next election. When was that again? We’re waiting Rish

  I can’t believe this has had so much coverage.

  When you hear hired fearmongers like General Gobshite engaging in this kind of masturbatory hyperbole, do take a second to remember he’s tugging himself under the table at the slightest thought of forcing the average person through the physical and mental torture of bootcamp.

  The threat of mandatory conscription in a world full of nuclear weapons is about as effective as my threat of no dessert to my child who has a whole box of ferrero rocher under their bed.

  The petition was signed by 13.2% of eligible voters in the constituency, above the 10% threshold required for Mr Bone to lose his seat.

  This is the apathy of the UK electorate in a nutshell.

  Sometimes honesty is uncomfortable, but I’m not going to shy away from telling people how it is and from plain speaking, and if that upsets polite society, then I’m sorry about that.

  Oh so she’s not from polite society? I bet she is when it suits her. Odious, hate-filled halfwit.

  OP is a troll who spouts a lot of pseudoscience and tries to sound like a caricature of an intellectual while doing so. It’s not clear whether they are doing it for the lulz or they are, in fact, dumb as a rock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cuts the size of BBC Two's budget needed after licence fee squeeze, says insider⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t hate them. But I don’t think TV licensing is ethical, practical, or sustainable though, so I’m right with you there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cuts the size of BBC Two's budget needed after licence fee squeeze, says insider⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You really need to read back what I said because i didn’t sing any praises of the BBC in any of my comments, nor really say anything about them at all.

  I agree with some of what you said, I don’t know enough about their for profit endeavors to comment.

  Regardless, my prior comments were entirely directed at the Tory party. The BBC are just another example of their classic three step death-by-a-thousand-cuts privitisation plan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cuts the size of BBC Two's budget needed after licence fee squeeze, says insider⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but we’re in a UK community talking about the UK…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cuts the size of BBC Two's budget needed after licence fee squeeze, says insider⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This has literally nothing to do with the tories’ agenda.

  Take all the issue with paying a TV license that you want, but don’t for a second act like the Tories won’t have their cake and eat it with privatisation.

  You’ll be paying the license fee, watching adverts, and thanking them for it if they can have their way entirely.

  Much like the inevitable privitisation of the NHS - should they maintain power - won’t lead to any realized tax cuts.

  They hate you and think you’re a piece of shit. Don’t let them distract you from that for a single damn moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cuts the size of BBC Two's budget needed after licence fee squeeze, says insider⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Baroness Stowell, Chair of the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee, said: “Decisions about funding mechanisms have to be led by a clear articulation of what the country wants from its national broadcaster, and how it will change for that to be delivered. The BBC needs to be more open and front-footed in setting that out, or else face change being imposed upon it.”

  And there it is. The classic Tory playbook: intentionally underfund, declare unsustainable, and open up for private interests; in this case, likely advertising and other types of product placement.

  Nothing is sacred to these malicious pricks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a name for downplaying your suffering because other people have bigger problems?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re tacitly incorrect. A martyr complex doesn’t require that the sufferer bemoans others for a lack of acknowledgement, or that they think their problems are worse in comparison; just that they feel that they are constantly suffering for some cause that they may or may not justify.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Restaurant Bill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The UK has been infected with service charges but it’s extremely common to either a) have it removed from the bill, as there is no obligation to pay it, or b) forego the tip because of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless you work in tech, then the offices have £5k Italian espresso machines that only five people know how to operate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guardian sacks cartoonist Bell in antisemitism row - BBC News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My understanding is that the cartoon is based on a cartoon of Lyndon B Johnson from decades ago. However, the cartoon uses the common metaphor of taking a “pound of flesh” from something to make it’s point.

  That metaphor is attributed the character Shylock from Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. Shylock is considered by many to be an offensive stereotype of a Jewish person that is sort of “tolerated” when used in a historical context, but not otherwise. i.e. if you call a Jewish person “Shylock”, expect rightly to be called a racist.

  Take the character and Netanyahu, smush them together and bam: antisemitism claims.
