Moscow can accuse all they fucking want. Fucking troglodytes.

I’m categorically not a fan of how most of this world functions, but I also know for fucking sure that Russia’s current system of “oligarchy lead by sociopathic ex-KGB scumbag” is not an improvement.

And risk getting twatted with a terrorism sentence despite not being tried for terrorism?

The Govt knows exactly what they’re doing and unless we collectively do something about it, the UK depicted in V for Vendetta is closer to reality than people think.

The UK’s own version of Fox News continues it’s work in misinforming and winding up the gormless berks that take it’s every word as gospel truth. A Reform led Government is very possible in a couple of years if Burnham doesn’t get everyone on-side with actual results, which is a big fucking ask given the circumstances.

At 19 you are incapable of properly assessing risk. Medically, clinically, not capable. The brain structures required haven’t finished being built yet.

The realistic answer to the problem is that children shouldn’t be given responsibility for multi-ton vehicles capable of such destruction when misused.

It’s become “Life as a service”, and they’ve tied everyone’s retirement/pension to the continued existence and success of the system so everyone is too afraid to do anything about it and/or complicit.

Well, at least the river won’t get so muddy as the future becomes the present, and there isn’t any snowpack to melt.

Silver linings I guess?

Well, they’ve just banned “spywear” wholesale from UK Court premises which will make it easier for pubs and the like to do the same.

If I’m reading it right… No we don’t.

A terrorist group from the Republic of Ireland are threatening “migrants” (anyone darker in skin tone than they are) in Ireland (Not part of the UK).

The issue for the UK is when those subject to these threats and violence flee to Northern Ireland (part of the UK).

Sure, this group want northern Ireland back, but that’s not what this round of cockwaving is about.

I very much admire your no-nonsense, upfront honesty and openness.

This kind of frank communication is what’s needed the world over, for myriad reasons.

Because if you boil it down to the bare basics, those the country is in hock to; those that run the investment funds that own the country’s debt, as well as most of it’s essential services (power, water/sanitation, transport, etc.) have the entire country held hostage.

They simply threaten to melt the country down if the status quo isn’t protected.

Every single person’s pension/savings/entire life’s worth is dependant on these people not fucking everyone over. The actual country’s debt is in the same hands.

Shy of complete a meltdown and reset they have complete control over how the country is run, which is why things are the way the are.

This accusation gives good insight into the Russian apparatus and their thought processes.

Much like how every Trump regime accusation is an admission, this comes across the same.

She willingly took on responsibility for the shitshow, risk/reward. She happens to be holding the bag when the music is stopping, I couldn’t care less how long she personally has been in the role.

It’s not like this class of people works harder than others, so that massive fucking pay packet has to be for something. I assume it’s for the risk of taking on the responsibility.

“Something went wrong” with the system they’re ultimately responsible for, the system that they’ve stripped to the bone in search of growth in a saturated naturally monopolistic market.

Loss of bonuses should be the least of their fucking worries. -.-

I’d imagine so. It worked well for the energy backbone of the country, the water supply and sewage system, and the education system, to name but a few.

(giant neon flashing “/s” for clarity)

Cucumbers could easily be triggering feline responses to snakes, which are most certainly a danger to them.

Throw in the hills of Sheffield, and I’m driving around having to rev the balls off in 2nd, or labour the fuck out of it and kill it trying to do it in 3rd.

Less of an issue if your car is an oversized wanktank, like most. See, the bigger problem is the American influence on our vehicles; stupidly large, unnecessarily heavy, consuming more fuel to move, and doing more damage to roads and whatever mommy hits between the house in suburbia and little fucking Timmy’s football practice half a mile up the road.

Tax vehicles by a multiplicative factor of physical size, weight, and engine displacement, with a reduction for electric powertrain, or part thereof, and watch the gormless SUV craze end in a fucking hurry.

Whereas my 998cc, 3 cylinder, 3rd hand car requires screaming the tits off it in 2nd to get around the hills of Sheffield at 20mph. GG.

I like you.

I’m as much a nerd as the next, but I also play a lot of different games, with a lot of different people on different platforms, and that’s not feasible (yet) on anything other than windows.

I hate it, but it is what it is.

Yet, you’re cheering on this shit show? You’re either seriously damaged, or a troll. Which is it?

Dear me. Comparing you to a pair of short planks wouldn’t be doing the wood justice.

History, both recent and ancient, repeatedly demonstrates the fact if you give a politician power, they’ll use it to attempt to gain more power, or at least to prevent loss of power, perceived or otherwise.

Because handing power like that to politicians has never bitten anyone hard in the arse before, right?

Muppet.
