I hear you. But this isn’t necessarily one or the other. I think it’s beneficial to have these types of product available for those who have already become obese, whilst leglistating the food that people are pushed towards eating by the system.
I’m not saying that the government will necessarily do both, but that it’s not an issue with this study that the food available isn’t being managed.
I’m certainly not content with the labour government’s handling of Israel.
I tried writing to my MP about it but they don’t appear monitor their emails yet.
Very disappointed.
In the UK, that’s pretty damn good money. If you are able to plan financially at all you can comfortably pay off a mortgage and live off that amount of money for the 12 years.
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.

Whilst these are all problems that it would be great to solve, I feel the vast majority of the public want to see politicians proposing ways to deal with more significant issues.
To me, this sounds like a list of things they feel the older generation dislikes strongly. They want to retain that base as much as possible so they’ll put out statements like this ones without having, I suspect, much desire to follow through if and when they do have some power.
But I’m happy to be proven wrong on that.
