Mostly harmless
As an avid reader of Hungarian domestic politics news, I can confirm that the deluge is a feature, not a bug. Having read the hundred thousandth article about the prime minister’s inner circle winning yet another tender, yet another government contract, monopoly over one more industry, most people get desensitised to the point that they zone out completely. What’s the point if there is no other lane but the VIP lane?
UK government sets out plans to distract from their looming, devastating election defeat later in the year.
None of their plans have any relevance given how much of it they can implement in the time left in office.
Some of it is not greed, but trickle down trussonomics.
Many landlords have found themselves with a massive increase of mortgage payments since last year when the buy-to-let interest rates jumped from 1-2% to 5-6% and beyond. Many of those mortgages are still on the lower rate, but will have to move to a higher rate in the next 3-4 years. Brace, brace.
We could send them tiny violins and tell them to suck it up as investments can go down as well as up, but the reality is what we see in the article above. Hand on heart, how many of us would pay through our noses if we could get someone else to do it for us?
In the case of second gen immigrant, former deputy PM and raging thundercunt Dominic Raab it’s a case of being too stupid rather than too evil. I mean, he’s both, but more stupid, in contrast to Braverman. Sunak is neither, he’s just a sociopath with no care to anyone else.
This is an awful policy on so many levels it’s difficult to pick an angle to criticise that’s not self-evident.
We didn’t start the fire!
Nothing, I this person I know of just had FF and adblock set up already for other reasons, so all I they had to do was stop the youtube app hijacking its own links.
Several words: mobile Firefox, ad block, disable youtube app, disable known links to youtube.
I did, I just wish a hadn’t. I’ve read my fair share of this type of moral absolutist drivel in my time but I went through this one anyway despite the conclusion being clear from the get go.
My assertion was that not everything Blair did was wrong. You posted a link saying this article disagrees, but the article literally starts with saying not everything Blair did was wrong.
Does it? This article starts with several examples admitting that
Blair delivered a lot for the working class from the back seat of a limo.
Pragmatism ≠ sellout.
Papa Smurf never compromised on his ideals, and never got anywhere near the position to put them into practice. Blair delivered a lot for the working class from the back seat of a limo.
I don’t know. Maybe because as a rider you cannot be expected to know your own speed without a speedometer, maybe.
Still, given that this is the rule and it’s well documented and publicised, it’s a bit boring to having to explain to yet another gammony armchair warrior on those forums. So I stopped going there.
Or they could at least make cycling awareness part of driver’s training.
Drivers were outraged and wanted cyclists to adhere to the speed limits (good luck without a speedometer).
I’ve found myself dragged into online conversations several times over the years regarding speed limits in Royal Parks, especially Richmond Park which is notorious for its rat running drivers.
Motorists always managed to work themselves up into a frenzy over “speeding” cyclists, no matter how many times it was pointed out to them that in the park the speed limit applies to motorised vehicles only. Cyclists could not possibly be speeding as there was no speed limit applicable to them on those privately managed roads.
Same guy, same publication a year prior found that not only do cyclists break the law for different reasons, they also do it less frequently than motorists.
Works as intended then.
Is fencing still practiced in modern armies?
Oh so that’s why it’s buggered! Bugger…
