It’s not a typo, I just lazily wrote the comment like I’d speak.

Not sure why you assume this? I never made the claim

[x] Doubt

Even if you disagree, using a pronoun is just polite. She’d have to go out of her way to do this.

One day it’s gonna come out that it was all a prank organised on 4chan, isn’t it?

Aaaaaaaaaaand this is how you nuke support from orbit.

This way isn’t working either. It’s time to go back to the drawing board and brainstorm some better ideas.

I suspect it’s for the publicity. Events like this attract different demographics than the usual targets, so it’s more exposure. It might not make the tabloids but it does get reported on.

Historically, any publicity has been seen as good publicity. But, given the reputation they are building, I think this is not how it is playing out.

So I agree, it just makes people with little to no power feel blamed. Time for a change of approach.

The word “agenda” triggers a Pavlovian rage response in me.

The sheer number of times I’ve seen some right-wing numpty angrily posting things like “what is your AGENDA?!” in response to political figures has permanently tainted the word for me.

Jo Cox was murdered by a fascist wasn’t she? What kind of warning are you talking about?

If I had any doubts about his guilt they were eradicated as soon as he called this a deep state conspiracy. Nobody is conspiring against has-been comedians.

I hope that the police look into these allegations. Chasing his monetisation is not a punishment since he is already wealthy.

The problem with that is that the public should never get to be judge, jury, and executioner. Rumour and gossip should not be the basis for something this severe.

Brand has made more than enough money to live his life peacefully out of the public eye. The court of public opinion is only capable of ruining the wrong peoples’ lives, people who don’t have wealth and fame. The rich and powerful can uncancel themselves after a short period of exile, should they wish.

It’s not a tax on poor people, its a tax on unhealthy food, which you’ll be surprised to find out that everyone eats regardless of economic class.

I think this would be more effective than a lot of us lefties would like to admit. “Healthy” food is already affordable, people just don’t want to eat it when there are other options.

I really do wish allegations of this level of seriousness could go through the legal system before being presented to the court of public opinion. If he’s actually assaulting 16 year olds then he needs sending down!

Educated people know you can get information from a search engine these days. Knucledraggers need to be told how to feel about that information. This is where tabloids found their market.

It is a worry of mine that we will be giving so much power to Labour at the next election

And it’s a worry of mine that you’re about to hand it straight back to the Conservatives.

Things like this will increase in frequency as long as the culture war is seen as a viable strategy by the right wing. We’ve worked hard to make this country more accepting, we can’t let it slip back.

They are a lifestyle brand and play on that to keep people trapped. People who buy Apple like the aesthetic of appearing wealthy. It’s classism through consumerism, even if the consumers don’t realise it.

Apple’s terrible privacy policy (yes, despite the word privacy appearing in the ads), atrocious right to repair stance, and aggressive software lock-in tactics should put any person who cares about those things off.

There was a purpose to buying Apple when they were the only player in the specific niche. Audio engineering is a great example of this. In the 90’s, Apple were really the only valid choice in a highly specialist field. Microsoft caught up in the 2000s, with Linux not too far behind in the 2010’s.

So nowadays, the limitations are effectively self-imposed. You can spend whatever money you want on a setup that will do whatever you need and the OS is a personal preference.

IMO the high street is already close to dead but the government really dont want things to change. Restaurants, franchised coffee shops, and subpar office space is what they think people want. So they will pump money into keeping Pret A Manger standing while ignoring the businesses that helped make the high street what it is.

Devastated. After WickesWoolworths collapsed Wilko became my go to for DIY stuff. Garden stuff, pet food and toys, all easy to grab from Wilko and IMO much better quality than it’s rivals in Amazon (fuck Amazon 😡) B&M (meh 😐) or Poundstretcher (why waste your money there?🤮).

I suspect a lot more than just competition is playing into this. Currently high interest rates will be making that £40m loan sting.

Edit : I do mean Woolworths lmao

Another one to add to the list of data security cockups made by the UK government…
