Well done you've just figured out why less than 1% of the population own most of the land.

Who would I be arguing with exactly? I think you may be reading tone where none was given. Are you under the impression people are buying land (land being rural land, not an acre i…

Feudalism didn't end in violent land reform, it largely ended after a pandemic that killed off a significant number of the workforce and it became a sellers market for the serfs. T…

Yes, bring back Clippy!!!

A four year old would be able to run rings around the current government, yet Starmers Labour can't. I truly despair. Then again, the absolute trainwreck that next year's election …

How ironic.

And yet somehow the reality is a "mistery" to you. Language isn't culture. If it was you wouldn't have the sort of Chinese-gate tik-tok nonsense happening right now. Also English p…

Who'd have thought those in charge were a bunch of hypocrites?

It absolutely is not. It's about risk of absconding. Secondly, no, cash bail is not a thing in the UK. Someone being arrested in the UK for extradition is not part of the UK justic…

It doesn't sound like you're familiar with the UK system either. Bail in the UK means adherence to specific conditions, i.e. live somewhere the police can find you, stay away from …

Even Ryan Reynolds is using it to write advertising copy, https://youtu.be/_eHjifELI-k , I would say it's pretty well known. Not to mention all the get rich quick with ChatGPT nons…

So add those sites to the standard blocklists most ISPs already put in place for new customers and let parents decide if they want to remove them, just as they have to for porn and…

People died because of the last set of protests. That's not a reasonable consequence of a public protest.

We already have those, https://youtu.be/FS5FT-4Kx7E

You miss the point. Universal payer is not the utopia you think it is. People at the bottom may pay less, but people at the top pay more, "distributing and diluting these costs". T…

But universal healthcare is paid for by taxes on people who earn good money, which these people do. The costs being thrown around in this thread are about on par with the UK anyway…

He's going to ask him to travel all the way around the world to a country that's not one he's in control of?

How do you get that? In the UK our nuclear weapons are US bought so we don't use any fissile materials we make, and my understanding was submarine reactors are very different to tr…

If you're subject to an investigation they'll put retention policies on them to stop that. If you're not, sure you can delete them and wait for them to disappear out of the backup …

Defund the police, reparations, affirmative action.... Yeah totally super right wing talking points in Europe.

That disengenuiously misrepresents the problem of cancel culture. Cancel culture is the propagation of a vocal minority conspiring to stop certain topics being discussed, i.e. depl…

That's not what the person I'm responding to said, nor what the article says. The person I'm responding to clearly didn't read the article, it actually says due to a tight labour m…
