They already have plans to make a state owned energy company don’t they?

Any (especially input) lag? When I was using steam stream about 5 years ago any quick reaction based game was a no go die to the input lag between my well specxed pc and crappy laptop.

Thanks for writing that. You reminded me to do just this.

Posted here a week after that site was last updated?

She was British prime minister for a few weeks. She was booted out because her ‘strategy’ to ‘revamp’ the British economy crashed it extremely quickly.

Yeah I agree with you that it should be put right. I’m just not sure if it can be at this moment in time.

It just seems rich of the article author to write that Sunak would say it’s wrong, do nothing about it whilst in power, but that’s okay because he says it’s wrong, whilst labour are somehow worse for also not doing any about it? I had trouble wording that sentence but I hope you get the jist.

Feels like no ruling government would resolve this with the countries current finances, but that the current opposition and the writer of this article just are enjoying stirring the pot.

Now, however, recently appointed Labour Ministers including Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood have decided to save money by not reimbursing the likes of Mr O’Brien for “bed and board” payments deducted from their compensation years ago.

The Tories were the party in power when the bed and board payment was originally applied for this person, and now they’re blaming labour? Standard tory misdirection tactics then. Maybe one day they’ll buy a mirror and work out what self reflection is, but I doubt it.

Similar to another comment here, The ex-prisoner has asked the now government to reimburse them, which they’ve declined. Yeah that sucks but the country can’t afford to fix all the shitty decisions that have been made whilst the last government was in power.

I never thought [my work] would bring so much trouble – to the extent that somebody would threaten me and my family. I would have expected to receive this letter if I was in Africa, back in my home country [Ivory Coast], but not in the UK.

Hang on hang on hang on. Not to say this isn’t disgusting. But an expert in modern slavery is surprised to receive death threats? It seems like this is one of the people that should be least surprised to receive them.

Sounds more like he was simply naive in his opinion of the UK.

Sorry if I misunderstood. I’ll reply on the basis of your latest comment.

I said I don’t see why I valid target would be made invalid just because it’s inside Russia

Is anybody saying a target would be made invalid just because it’s in Russia? My point was all targets inside Russia are open to increased scrutiny because of targeting inside Russia.

The children’s hospital example is because Russia likely does not have children’s hospitals (or other non-military assets) inside Ukraine, and therefore Russian targets inside Ukraine are almost certainly going to be valid. On the other hand, when some high up revenge obsessed Ukrainian military personnel decide they want to target Russian children’s hospitals, it’s useful for their targets to have increased scrutiny to prevent an additional civilian massacre.

Just to clarify, the children’s hospital example is being used to convey an obviously non military target which additional scrutiny can prevent from being attacked.

I’m going to stop replying to this thread now as I’m not sure I can make my point much clearer. I might re-read through the context though just in case I misunderstood something somewhere. I do Lemmy on mobile so sometimes it’s difficult to track a conversation.

Yes. I am bringing children’s hospitals in to this as an example for why additional scrutiny is required when attacking targets inside Russia.

I’m not sure you read my comment fully.

I don’t think you’re honestly thinking this through.

If Ukraine starts bombing russian children’s hospitals, that’s clearly an invalid target. What Ukraine is bombing will be scrutinized.

There are, however, zero russian children’s hospitals inside Ukraine, so as long as Ukraine is bombing russian targets and not their own, their targets are not open to the same level of scrutiny.

Hopefully the party membership looks at their election defeat as the response to the hatefull, divisive rhetoric that it was and see there’s no sense in continuing with all the negativity.

Probably not. I think a lot of their current thinking is that if they can lean further right they can claim those reform votes back. Probably if they have a white male leader again, some of those right wingers are going to come back.

Some of them are also arguing for a broad left and right approach.

I hope they keep arguing about it, fail to make a decision, and as a result stay out of power for at least a decade.

Yeah, there’s definitely something wrong with that. It is reality though.

Whilst I agree, it wasn’t a smart statement from Tennant. Easy words to bend.

It’s annoyingly fairly priced. I’m fairly sure they’re doing this at a loss to put competitors in the music streaming services out of business so they can hack up the price.

Standard Google/TV streaming service practice.

Standard British sarcastic comment…

It’s almost as if right wing people shouting loudly gets more viewers, be it with those that agree with them or not.

Clearly a way to get more older people votitwho are more likely to vote Tory.

Can anyone explain the joke behind “I told you I would get us back in Europe?”

We had some sex education in primary school at age 9.

It told the girls that they’re going to have periods. At age 9 some of them will be so I think this is a good idea. Parents were able to opt their kids out if they wished.

It told the group as a whole that puberty is a thing, and we might start it soon. Some changes might happen like body shape changes, voices getting deeper, hair growth etc.

None of it was about how to have sex, or how children are made. It was simple stuff that kids that age would benefit from knowing.

I don’t understand why anyone would even be on the fence about their kids knowing this stuff.
