All the folk saying it is denying free speech, while those suspended and those commenting are able to comment using their erm, free speech! All the nut jobs will just be driven elsewhere to other platforms for their BS, with even less regulation. How long before Lee Anderson is interviewing other Tory MP's in a guy called Mike's mums living room being recorded on a sharp viewcam. Rightfully extreme views are called out, but it shouldn't have taken an incident like this for Fox to be 'cancelled' and it shouldn't have been GB News doing it, Ofcom should have been on top of this ages ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Not finding this particularly odd but the Tories are going nuts over things like low emissions zones, 20 MPH zones and the vat threat to private school fees, but seem remarkably quiet over more than a million (yes, million) kids not having a bed of their own, resulting in bed sharing or sleeping on the floor. Nothing to see here, move along now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Sunak is proving to be just as shite as as Johnson and Truss were. Imagine thinking that essential amenities being within a 15 minute walk was a bad thing?

Imagine thinking that essential amenities being within a 15 minute walk was a bad thing? "Stop councils implementing 15 minute cities"? How is it a problem if someone wants to open a new GP surgery, or a dental practice, or paper shop or chemist 14.5 mins away from some houses? Will the Government insist that these are 15.5 mins away instead? Sounds like very un-Conservative and of a micro-managing mindset to me. Seems to me that having more "local" facilities instead of centralised ones miles away from most people's homes isn't a terrible idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reintroduction of workhouses has been on the list since before Cameron tried to force people to work for Poundland in exchange for their £40 a week, or whatever it was back then. Damn that human rights legislation - hope they can abandon it soon, eh? The future for impoverished Britons will be homelessness, or rooms at the Amazon warehouse helping to drive down costs for their customers by working for food. And it'll be voted for, because we're all a bunch of horrible self-centred c***s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was supermarkets who were the worst examples for exploiting the old DWP work schemes. Folk picking internet orders, loading delivery vans, and rounding up trolleys in exchange for their UB/ESA, on the basis that they might, or might not get a full-time minimum wage post at the end of their six week trial, or however long it was. Of course, the ones who did get an utterly dead-end job out of it were championed as shining examples of how awesome the scheme was, and the fact that many more were simply discarded in favour of the next round of free DWP-supplied labour on the list was totally overlooked. Again, anyone who didn't realise re-enabling this sort of exploitative shit was an obvious motivation behind Brexit has a zip up the back of their heid.

The British state pension is one of the worst in Western Europe despite the triple lock and many a British pensioners still live in poverty. The idea that one impoverished group should suffer rather another impoverished group is a nonsense when there are plenty of other areas of spending/tax raising we should be looking at instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
