I have reported the post a) for misinformation b) for being from a source so unreliable Wikipedia has banned it c) from a source that is racist and supported the literal 20th century German Nazi party

I included your Guardian link as evidence of the misinformation

It doesn’t say refuse work. It says refuse the concept that a person’s worth is linked to how much or what type of work they perform.

Worth as in human worth, not monetary value. Social standing, respect, etc

More farmers need to wake the fuck up and reject current capitalist, agrochemical, maximum yield farming or they’ll end up with nothing.

Drought and soil degradation have been known about for years, this is their job, they have no excuse for being ignorant.

Free at the point of service was a founding principle for a reason. A levy doesnt fix the root cause of the issue, and produces a myriad of other problems.

“Sense have a wide range of stakeholders including the wider public to consider when safeguarding the Sense brand reputation and hold and be seen to hold a neutral position,” the outcome notice said.

How’s this sacking doing for their brand reputation?

Will the people who did the sacking be sacked for also damaging the brand’s reputation? Y’know, for neutrality.

At 4,961,538,207 shares of National Grid PLC available on the London Stock Exchange, and their latest half-year dividend payout of 16.35p per share, that would be £811,211,497. Or £811 million in easier terms.

Their previous full year dividend was 30.88p per share, or £1,532,122,998. Or £1.5 billion.

It fluctuates each year.

Also bare in mind each individual energy provider which also profits from infrastructure investment.

Also also bare in mind that both National Grid and the energy providers are usually multinationals with shares in more than one stock exchange.

Because it’s clutter and annoying to see “Heyyy, is jellyfin a good video app?” ad nauseam, when a simple search would answer their question faster and without wasting everyone’s time and energy.

Modlogs are visible, if there’s truly a censorship issue then we’re free to upsticks and move to another community. That’s the advantage of the Fediverse.

What could you possibly be referring to, there’s no way Reform are disappearing vulnerable young children in the council which they control. No way at all…

Speaking on climate, Kevin Anderson, professor of energy and climate change at the Universities of Manchester, Uppsala and Bergen, said: “The choice is between deep, rapid and fair decarbonisation of modern society, and an organised-ish technical and social revolution; or ongoing rhetoric and delay as temperatures [rise]. And then we’ll have a revolutionary style change that will be both chaotic and violent.”

On nature, Nathalie Seddon, professor of biodiversity at the University of Oxford, said: “We are facing a national emergency not only because the climate is changing, but because the living systems that protect the climate are breaking down.”

She added: “This isn’t about choosing between the economy and the environment. It’s about recognising that the economy is embedded within the environment, and that the health of the nation depends on the living systems that sustain us.”

And yet, despite this, we still get “Drill, baby, drill!” in our budget.

But The Economist just told me this is a left wing government from a left wing party!

I’m confused, why would they capitulate to business interests if they’re so left wing?

Asked if Farage therefore believed those who made the allegations were inventing them, the spokesperson said: “I’m saying there is no primary evidence. It’s one person’s word against another.”

It’s 20 people’s words against one, you snake oil salesman fascist. Along with a letter from 1981 stating he was racist and fascist.

Yes. Violence is justified if it prevents greater harm or in self defence.

Do you support WW2 veterans? They perpetrated huge amounts of violence, to prevent the Nazis performing greater harm.

Violence is sometimes justified.

We haven’t seen the evidence, I’m willing to concede if the video shows unjust use of force. But they haven’t released the evidence to us yet, and in my eyes seem to have put a huge deal of spin doctoring on this story to illicit an emotional rather than rational response.

At the moment, without the evidence ourselves, cops bash people’s heads in every day, who cares if the reverse is done to them whilst trying to stop the machinery of war and genocide?

Aye, I understand my disdain of policing isn’t the norm. I’m not even completely against having a police force, but there is a severe lack of accountability and consequences for the current police in their many unjust, often illegal, actions.

I think the only constructive thing left to say, without seeing the evidence ourselves, is two things.

One) is to note this article is written almost entirely from the state’s perspective which illicits an automatic sense of right and sympathy in readers.

Two) is to reiterate that we have, as a society, no qualms about the thought of people being smashed over the head with a police baton, but when the reverse happens it’s viewed as barbaric.

If the video is released we can judge for ourselves, but at the moment, I’m firmly in the camp of “they do it to us regularly, in the name of preventing genocide why can’t we do it back?”

If video evidence proves otherwise, fair enough. But they’ve not released it and seem to be making a huge deal of the term sledgehammer when it could be any blunt force instrument.

Yes.

The police are the state’s internal violence department (the military being the external violence department). The state however has a terrible track record of using violence appropriately. Why should we accept this as okay and normal?

Yes, the police have other roles that are deemed noble like arresting rapists and murderers, or mundane like giving speeding tickets and littering fines. But their principal role throughout their history has been violence. Not what you see in The Bill, Heartbeat, or the hundreds of other police propaganda TV shows in the UK, but hitting people with sticks and dragging them into isolated concrete cells. Sometimes that may be the appropriate response, but throughout their history, very regularly, it has not been. It’s not as bad as America, but our cops do have still quite a large degree of “qualified immunity”.

I’ve even met off duty cops who bragged about beating up the “hippies”. They love a good protest because it’s an excuse to let off some steam and bash some skulls. Much the same as football hooligans but state sponsored and approved.

Palestine Action are a direct action protest group who targeted military sites to try and stop genocide. They did this fully aware that they will be met with violence. State sponsored violence and potentially privately funded violence. It appears, to me at least, that they brought the sledgehammer to destroy equipment and when met with state violence they panicked and used what was in their hand to defend themself. After all, they are opposing state sponsored violence which results in thousands of daily deaths, how can they not expect to receive similar from a state which is supporting that?

Was it wise? Probably not.

Is it the terrifying, weapon wielding, hark back to the middle ages, violent attack it’s been portrayed by those it benefits to portray in that way? No.

If they had a baton in their hand instead of a sledgehammer when the police stormed in it wouldn’t be so catchy a headline. It clearly wasn’t brought just to fuck people up, it clearly wasn’t used at its full potential or there would be officers dead.

A protestor in the name of preventing genocide was smashing military equipment with a hammer, and when attacked by the state violence department for doing so, used what was in their hand to defend themselves. Those that have never wielded a sledgehammer may view this as terrifying but those that have used them can see that the police’s portrayal doesn’t add up (I used to use them regularly for work). A sledgehammer brought for the purpose of violence would result in far more considerable injuries than what happened here.

Also bare in mind we accept that it’s totally okay for police to have batons and whack people with them at full force. If you’ve never seen a baton IRL they are incredibly sturdy and have a small surface area so the force is concentrated within a small area, making it incredibly efficient as a blunt force weapon.

Edit: I’ve just noticed you highlighted that it’s a “female” (ew) officer as if that has any relevance.
