With the purpose of making money. That's capitalism, baby.

It's just a shame etc etc.

If only there was another way.

Kind of, but not quite. It’s not about individual people being happy with ruining lives. It’s about a system that has no humanity, and individual people within it having no interest or motivation in doing anything outside the system.
It’s “computer said no” writ large

Congratulations

I’m going to take it on trust that you haven’t read his post, so im gonna challenge you. I bet you can successfully guess three other words or names he used

It’s not about capitalism: it’s about reliance on systems and a general trend towards assuming that people in positions of authority are likely to be competent and knowledgeable.

Despite our back and forth on this a while ago, I actually think you’re entirely correct on this issue, and your view is legitimate

Yeah, I also agree she’s a decent constituency MP, and I’ve voted for her in the past several times. Despite at times being (occasionally slightly tongue in cheek) broadly supportive of Labour’s need to draw a line under the Corbyn era, I think they’re too far away from what the Labour Party should ...

Long and short of it is the club can sign a guy who has done this if they believe it’s worth the damage to relations with the fans that take exception. The fans who take exception are under no obligation to get onboard if they feel that the club’s stance is wrong. The people who made these decisions...

Your area is a bit Brexity right?

I’m in the safest of Labour seats. I’m undecided between voting labour out of habit, or abstaining on the basis that it sends a better message to give less than enthusiastic support for the incoming government.

Especially with milkshakes

I’m kind of cynical about “mental health week” type stuff anyway. I don’t know (genuinely) whether there’s any good evidence that they actually achieve anything beyond good PR for companies that get involved.
Actual awareness of social issues involves something a bit more meaningful.

I’ve definitely found that when I post specifics about controversial takes, people give them due consideration

He wouldn’t have been happy, that’s for sure!!

Bit poor that he has actually provided some links as said and - so far - he's either been ignored or dismissed out of hand. Would be interested in hearing why some of the organisations referred to in those reports are wrong and/or discredited. It might have been a bit too subtle, but my posting tha...

Which period in history was it better to be poor in this country? That’s not the question though, if we’re talking relative terms. The better question would be at what point in history was there a bigger gap in standards of living between the richest and poorest? Difficult to say for sure, as the G...

“I'll post a lot of stuff that discredits the IHRA definition tomorrow when I find it”

I’m on tenterhooks.

The evil, abhorrent JK Rowling (who personally founded and funds the only female only rape crisis centre in Edinburgh) has had a say.
Warning - when reading you might think “hmmm, she’s not wrong is she?”

You’ll never guess what the throwaway sentence about “spouse objections” means in practice, by the way Go on….. Currently a person who is in a marriage with a person who comes out as trans can exit the marriage before the person is legally recognised as having “changed sex”, on the grounds that a s...

Read this to get the true extent of how this activism works in practice



Btw, the women in her 60s was a woman seeking help from a rape crisis centre.

Roz Adams won her case against Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre. You know, the rape crisis centre run by a man with no gender recognition certificate. I’d warn you to only read this if you’re ok with the fact that you’ll be a full TERF by the end (or in complete denial) https://x.com/lucyhunterb/status/...

It’s not about trading, but about not allowing the shitness of history to mean it’s fine to be fobbed off that we’ve never had it so good
