Never underestimate a natural tendency towards sycophancy or complacency in people who are a part of the government.

There is no price for that kind of wisdom.
Borrowed from a stand-up comedy.

So she blocked me, her right to do this.
But choosing to go ahead with responding to my post while not allowing me to see that response feels quite cowardly.

Noted. I'll make sure I'll never pay any further attention to you.
BTW, still waiting for someone to explain how additional safe space = misogyny.
comment in response to

Heh, you chose to attack the person instead of the argument. Involving my migrant background is unnecessary and feels manipulative to score a rhetorical point.
Comparing an *additional* baby changing room to apartheid is unserious. Perhaps you could stick to the point and answer my question.
comment in response to
post
Perhaps the "a-holes", as you called them, thought that some women might not feel safe in a unisex space and therefore provided an additional one.
I'm not sure how provision of a privilege of an exclusive space for women, which recognises their legitimate fears, appeared to you to be mysogynistic.

Oh, the British rules.
Where the lie is more protected than a person calling it out. Where liars cannot be called liars. But they must be called honourable!
What is this country's idea of honourable, again?

I see that US already built an eager Gestapo force in only a few months. Congrats!

For this, the media would have to employ journalists based on merit, not based on whom they know or how loud and good at self promotion they are.

This is "European" perspective, according to you? No views from other side than Western Europe?
BTW, 3 out of 5 European countries that you decided to include were fascist at the time, the 4th one collaborated.
How about asking those who really resisted the fascism?

"Europeans" is, as usual, just western Europe, according to you?

Shame he wasn't the same outspoken about Russian aggression and atrocities in Ukraine.
Looked like thoroughly confused about who was a tormentor and who was the victim and ended up nearly equating them.

The key reason why your system is broken is that is designed for the rich and big business, so they can buy the court orders they need and gag their opponents.
Fund state solicitors service, make it available to all.
The right to justice it's like the right to medical care.

In order to return to EU, your society has to become European. To be proud of being European citizens and identity. To be part of Europe that is a movement for unity and shared future. An ever closer Union.
Not just seeing it through economic eyes, as a good deal for UK plc.

So I was thinking that raising the tariffs further would be as pointless as taxing penguins.
Though it looks you just pointed out that taxing penguins is actually less harmful 🤣
comment in response to
post
At this point it makes no difference, does it? All trade is basically killed?
Putting higher tariffs on non-existent trade is as effective as taxing penguins.

Damn it, it was "who wants to control the *future*".....

It will be years to undo the damage.
Some glimpses of history might be even irreversibly erased.
It's like 1984 - in order to control the present, they want to control the past.

Downsides of a country where dishonesty and duplicity has been normalised and all communications reinvented to be hazy or plainly meaningless.

Well, tell me what did Russians do to NOT be hit by ANY of those tariffs

For a balanced comparison, you should show what proportion of total incomes is earned by top 1%.
You may suddenly understand the rise in tax proportion.

Americans are about to discover how many of "just regular guys next door" would happily turn into thugs eager to serve the police state by kidnapping people in the street.
Heard of Gestapo?
comment in response to

They could take some lessons from Ukrainians too.
As seen in Internet recently: dear Americans, start collecting used tyres, we'll explain later, best, Maidan.

He should definitely include agents of other foreign powers, not just Russia. In the name of diversity!

6) In about two weeks time, Russians sank their own old barge, accuse Ukraine of breaking the pact and will restart their attacks in Black Sea.
But, guess what, the US sanctions will remain lifted.

Cannot wait for Witkoff presenting his argument to an Irishman: that they'd be English on account of speaking English.
I suggest that the conversation should take part face to face, rather than online. For sake of clarity - on both sides.
comment in response to
post
I think it matters in one aspect.
People could be less harshly judged for naivety than for treason.
By saying that Witkoff "was manipulated" we give him a free pass.
comment in response to
post
An honest question: do you think Witkoff has really been manipulated or is he just playing the role he's been hired for?
What is obvious in Lavrov's case is that he will lie without blinking. Why would we refuse to recognise the same talent in Witkoff? After all, they are a part of the same mafia.

Yep, you just discovered how dictatorships work.
They find people who cannot offer much skill or original thought but only blind loyalty and they put these people into slightly more important roles than they had before.
You get a system built on mediocrity, loyal but without any integrity.

No worries, we'll charge the patients $900 for each pill, like they do in this happiest milk & honey & liberty land of US, and cover any imports from that.
And the remainder will go to the pockets of our oligarchs, pardon, British businesses.

In a spreadsheet? Or in real life terms?

Though it is a tad complicated, isn't it? It's not just paying for "a book". It is about a very specific use of a book (000's of them) that's outside of usual copyright.
Most likely, arranging this "by the book" with every author would take years or decades.
That's not saying they should not pay.

In this campaign for better communication we stopped making any requirements for the audience.
Better values and policies are key. Better comms is optional. Yes, good policies can lose elections without good comms, but in the end it is the public who lost.
In short, don't vote for pretty fascism.

Does it apply to consumers only, or also to businesses or eg energy used for communal areas of a block of flats?

Well, after seeing how many Americans voted for Trump and end of democracy, the current state of education under DoE wasn't impressive anyway.

As the max estimates for number of illegals are c 1.2 million, I guess the remaining capacity will be filled by "people we do not like" or "are not truly British".
Guess who will be making the judgement.
comment in response to

Well this is not really the issue, is it?
US has been captured by extreme right wing, proto-fascist oligarchy.
If they behaved "presidentially" would the situation be in any way more acceptable?
