1c5hfxg | Why did the “conservative” government pay this family £150,000 of taxpayer funds to bring this kind of frivolous lawsuit?
Conservatives should be voted out forever and completely unemployable after what they have done | 0 |
1cv8hgk | Deranged and brainwashed | 0 |
1d4sb4p | So, the way I see it, the way we are building at the moment is just ludicrous! We are forcing more and more housing into towns and villages that have completely unsuitable infrastructure. When we build, we need to do it properly. Build where people need it, build sustainable, appropriate, housing and build the supporting services with it. | 0 |
1b2ztw8 | You know what? Fuck Helen mirren. What a cunt . | 0 |
1cijl06 | I enjoy how Thomas is an 80 year old Tiger 2 but still hanging around with far more modern machinery.
Good on you Thomas. Age isn’t a barrier. | 0 |
1bnn6h7 | Why do people care where the Houses of Parliament are? Every area has their own MPs, what difference does it make if the main meeting room (which they seldom go to anyway) is in London? For the sheer amount of money it would cost to rebuild a Parliament building somewhere else I'd much rather they spent that on other things that are actually needed.
If anything, you need to look at countries like Germany that have their government buildings in Berlin but the finance district in Frankfurt and services more evenly spread out across the country. Also got to remember other countries like even the US have their major metropolises in different locations from the government buildings and DC isn't really a main focus like that, same as Ottawa in Canada or Canberra in Australia.
There's far more to it than could be in a simple Reddit comment but the need is to move more services and industries to the other parts of the country, not government, but sadly the infrastructure projects that might have allowed that to happen have been shelved by over a decade of selfish incompetence in government. | 0 |
1ch1318 | Its hilarious that Ireland now wants the UK to police the flow of migrants across the non existent border that they insisted didn't exist.
Go do one !
If Ireland don't want to become a refugee camp, then send them back to France on those ferries the EU promised Ireland to get around the EU no deal Brexit blockade which Ireland supported. | 0 |

1d57y5r | Honestly, got cars outside our bedroom windows, children go to school in cars to play in a playground near a road and then get driven home.
We've got private jets and politicians or royals taking flights a short train could manage, and finally a runaway dependency on plastics.
But if you want to burn wood for warmth, comfort, and auld Lang syne then fuck you.

1c8ssun | And as Jews move to Israel left wing idiots take to the streets holding signs about a river and a sea they have no idea about, standing next to Islamists screaming look at all those colonialist white Jews.
Non Jews like me need to start speaking up about what we’re seeing. | 0 |
1d5vktv | The damage has already been done.
Just take a look at the ONS data on ethnicity of various places then take a look at school students with English as second language.
"But why is this a problem, are you just raciiiist?!?!"
Would anybody be this flippent if it was an ethnic minority this was happening to? In a couple of generations the English will no longer be a majority in their own nation.
I sometimes think that it's a kind of sick revenge against the British for empire, England and it's people must die for their great great grandfathers sins | 0 |

1b5iodf | How is this a non-story? A shop will bow to the whims of an off duty police officer in restricting people buying basic products in case they might be used for a protest. This is actual fascism. | 0 |
1d57y5r | I’m all for increasing the quality of air and for using renewables, but that doesn’t always work for people in rural areas.
It can get pretty cold in winter, and rural areas often suffer worse not only from snow, but also power cuts. Sometimes cuts can last as long as three days. We often have elderly relatives with us over winter, and we have elderly neighbours. With a wood stove we can keep the house warm, and we use gas to cook because it means we can have hot food if the power fails. If it was all electric, we’d be freezing cold with not hot food, which isn’t a sacrifice we should be making for some minor change in the air quality of urban areas. | 0 |

1cd5kfn | She thinks we don't have spice? We had the British Empire so food available already has an abundance of multicultural influence that take it beyond bland. It may not be British in name, but tasty food is a very real part of our culture and has been so for hundreds of years. Comments on our cuisene are nothing but a shallow steryotype. | 0 |

1cjc4ta | >Zimbabwean Ashley Simbarashe Maparura, 34, was before Northampton Crown Court this week on weapons charges, where it was revealed that **he was recently granted leave to remain** in the UK despite the horrifying list of offences he has admitted to.
Clown country gonna clown.
Record legal/illegal migration under the so-called “far right” party and our only alternatives are Neo-Blairites or open border Greens. British “democracy” in a nutshell. | 0 |
1bqsr48 | The whole concept of “hate speech” is Orwellian and goes against the very tenets of liberalism, unless someone is making direct threats then they should not be prosecuted in any way for what they say, not only is it morally wrong to criminalise speech, but it is also foolish from an intellectual and humanitarian standpoint, ideas should be fought with ideas, that is the cornerstone of a liberal democracy and it’s the best way we can help people change, its using a carrot rather than a stick. Who decides what is considered hateful, politicians with their own agendas who are bought and paid for, a corrupt, unaccountable and unelected civil service, or strange pressure groups that are bank-rolled by big business and shady individuals. That is a very slippery slope to descend, their have been cases where comedians and writers have been prosecuted for simply making a joke or publishing a work, their was a case recently were a man was arrested for placing stickers on lamp posts, again regardless as to how distasteful you find their statements and views, it’s morally objectionable that people should be thrown in prison for simply opening their mouths and expressing an opinion. The most successful country on earth, the USA doesn’t seem to be doing too badly with their guaranteed 1st amendment rights, we’re increasingly seeing western “democracies” become more and more like 1984 as politicians try to cover their own failings with questionable legislation rather than address problems of their own making, I wouldn’t be surprised if parliament rename themselves big brother HQ soon! | 1 |
1d5x2ir | I used to work in a shop next to a post office.

1c9w6um | Everyone should make sure and react negatively. This country, its traditions and the people immortalised in things like (ugh) statues are of course anachronistic, reactionary, elitist and probably racist and sexist. | 1 |
1bh394u | I’m sorry but a crime is a crime irrespective of the motives. All it says is that if you’re a white guy beating in a black guy, make sure you say absolutely nothing while you’re beating the guy black and blue, because that some how makes it better?
Hate crimes are nonsensical. | 0 |
1d2ua2s | It's because it includes payments from private pensions too. Pensions are basically treated as normal income taxable income.
Personally I think it's absolutely insane this is even being discussed. What should be happening is that income tax bands move upwards specifically to benefit people who are cash poor.
The reasons why removing this tax is insane:
- It primarily benefits wealthy pensioners. It's a massive gaping hole through which cash rich people will funnel money if they can just take gigantic tax free pension payments in year 1 of their retirement
- shifts even more tax burden to young people, who provably have higher living expenses (rent, transport, student loans) than most all pensioners.
- Young people probably won't get the same deal as pension age gets yanked out of reach.
We really don't need policies giving loads of cash to wealthy old people who don't contribute to productivity. | 0 |

1d4z7k4 | I work in childhood cancer research and we've known for decades that this would be the way forward. Making such vaccines is very hard, however. What I'd be most interested in seeing the data of the short and long-term side effects of the vaccines. Current immunotherapies can be very lethal so hopefully this is a big kinder to the patient. | 0 |
1d5tdx5 | The problem with Boris is that he has always engaged in the persona of, cheat, repeat until caught, then lie.
This kind of person should have never had the opportunity to run for higher office. Unfortunately as he's a good liar, people thought he'd be a laugh because he's like them.
He's just a complete mess and has never ever had to face the consequences of his actions, so he continues to behave like a twat and always will do. | 0 |
1b2ztw8 | "encouraging" What? She said "I witnessed things that were wrong"... Do you tell people they are wrong as a form of encouragement? | 1 |

1bd5sd1 | Wish they would make chocolate hob nobs that big | 0 |
1bdu09m | Not really either. And I'm convinced it was ever actually anything to do with it. Bonfires at that time of year go back way before Guy Fawkes was born. At the time they were banning anything that wasn't a Christian practice. So something that had pagan roots was a big no no. I believe people claimed that they were celebrating the plot being discovered as an excuse to carry on having bonfire parties. As in no officer we are good Christians who just love our king we are definitely not pagans or anything like that (as they toss a ritual sacrifice on the fire). | 1 |
1ch1318 | I could never understand why a potential new border was being blamed on the UK. It's the EU that requires its members to have borders with non-members. So if a border went up, it would've been Ireland putting it up, not the UK. The UK, being free from EU rules, wouldn't have to follow them. | 0 |
1d39k8g | Yeah the small boats are the problem /s
Not our foreign policy, not our collapsing infastructure, not our arse backwards bottom up economy, not our lack of industry, not our ability to plan more than a couple of years into the future (its all short-term plans that get dropped by the next government, or reacting to crisis rather than planning to mitigate potential ones) because of our gimped political system, nah, its the small boats that are the issue /s | 1 |

1d39vor | I’m not a fan of the tories , or labour, or any of the parties really, yet to see a politician that is supporting the people rather than Their own interests or the interests of corporations or hedge fund lobbyists .
Labour feels like the lesser of two evils after all this, but do people forget how badly she came across when Corbyn was running ?
She is utterly incompetent , and at the moment if she gathers enough media traction.. which the tories will capitalise on , could cost labour the election .
This is the state of current politics , labour and conservative are essentially the parent name now , when there are effectively parties within the parties that seemingly cannot work together .
This is going to turn out to be a shit show.

1d2xgmo | Last time they were in power the NHS waiting lists were the lowest on record, the national debt was the lowest since WW2, there were tens of thousands more doctors, nurses and teachers, they introduced minimum wage, they introduced devolution.

So yeah, they did a pretty good job. Certainly not perfect but definitely better than what we have seen the last 14 years. | 0 |

1d47cc5 | I’d like to point out that this party would disappear overnight if Labour or the Conservatives actually got immigration numbers down to sane levels and sorted the illegal immigration problem.
It only exists because of the mainstream parties ignoring the issue and letting it get worse.
The left has abandoned normal Brits on this issue, which is forcing them to look to the right for an answer.
The sole reason the right is growing in mainland Europe, Ireland, Canada and the US is because of the left’s insane immigration stance. | 0 |

1d4b2s4 | I think this is the line the anti-labour Media has chosen to destablise Labour amongst their own voter base. "Keir is a right winger, hates working class and leftists". Which makes no sense, but of course... Making sense isn't important lol.
They loved the idea of (2019) Corbyn being a "champagne Socialist" big city woke elite and it was only the Tories who cared about Working class. Makes no sense, but it worked.
The whole Tory in party in 2019 was purged of anyone who had the slightest anti-Brexit or anti-Johnson stance. What's going on in Labour right now is child's play compared to the Tory Civil War 2017-19. Honestly people have such short memories. Has everyone forgot how crazy it was then? | 0 |
