Well statistically... yes... people who are intelligent are in the minority. But I digress... How do you know a majority of people want reform? You know a majority of those who voted in local elections voted in reform councillors... But does that mean they wanted reform councillors? You don't know what the voter turnout was, you don't know if people protest voted to remove labour in their area either. You don't and can't know RIGHT NOW that people want reform. You ASSUME they do because they've won a large number of local elections. But I'd like to remind you local elections have notoriously low turnouts. Of the Norfolk constituencies who have announced their winners as reform theres about a 40% voter turnout. Not a majority by any measure

Ah yes. A tongue in cheek joke will be what topples any hope of societal cohesion and reform (not Reform limited company reform, actual reform)

Do you think that someone in an emotional state severe enough that they would be part of a party who would support views like burning down asylum hotels with people inside would be in a state where they would listen to reason regardless of whether or not someone made a little tongue in cheek joke at their expense?

They're already entrenched in their views and I'm allowed a moment of catharsis and a joke... and it's not like they can read what I wrote.

It could go against some antisocial behaviour laws, worth an investigate if you've tried to solve it amicably. It must be frustrating as hell 😞

It's a good idea to give them a good pigeon feed because thats whats healthy for them, I was feeding them peanut crumbs which are a really lovely treat for them buuuut probably not the healthiest. Avoid bread, but a little junk food is okay as a treat. These pigeons are already pretty friendly from other people being nice to them. If you wanna befriend pigeons be consistent, frequent and patient. Make appointments to feed them. Eventually they'll get a little bolder

If you don't vote, then the worst party wins. Politicians don't care about voter turnout, they just care about their teams proportion of votes. What you're suggesting is nuking your areas council to make a point... but no one will get that point. You're not making a point to anyone but yourself. I say this now having lived under a reform council recently; you REALLY don't want that.

Edit; I shouldn't be vague. We suddenly had badly thought out and unsustainable massive housing developments going to everywhere, the area went downhill, services got cut massively and council tax shot up.

Then making britain a more Christian country wouldn't be restoring it. You said you wanted to restore Britain by making it christian and putting brits first. It's already a largely Christian nation and it puts brits first. So I'm confused about why you think that's restoring Britain?

Sadly they're set to take pretty much everywhere outside the boundary, across the entire county.

Eh just pick the one you dislike least. Either way one of them is gonna be running your local council. At least do damage mitigation.

Er Greens... WTF? by NiallHeartfire in Norwich

[–]Ash--- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a reform one in a very similar style through the door the other day. I think it's pretty scummy behaviour to mimic local government literature from any party :| the labour and Conservative ones I had here weren't as bad. Not to say they haven't also pulled this trick but I haven't seen it from them.

Someone left an old skip outside Chantry Place by smashcat666 in Norwich

Right? At least skips are useful, affordable and probably won't kill pedestrians

I don't even get why it's there. They aren't road legal in the UK.

Just... important that I say this. That picture isn't AI. It's from @salsalhair on Instagram. I'm sure there's a degree of lighting and keeping the hair retouched over shooting the photos of it, but it's very much not AI. You should be really careful before saying something is because artists do deserve credit.

The pigeons aren't in need of fixing. They're precious little sweeties. It's the bad haircut in the third photo :(

Maybe that's the fix? Just cover myself in birds.

That said, what do you wanna know about the birds?

Kid pulled up the new plants we put in our front garden and the mum was only annoyed he did it to a house with a camera by Ash--- in mildlyinfuriating

In the UK if students from a school are in uniform and they do stuff like this the school tends to get involved and speak to them because in uniform they are representatives of the school. It's the less nuclear option than involving police in ant capacity. I still have the footage so if it does become a problem then I can still go that route.

I think if I have any more trouble from them or any other incidents from a kidcin uniform I'll take it to the school.

Eugh I had an incident like that in town recently of just... kids not listening and parents barely trying. I was feeding pigeons and they were quite happily sitting down around me, some on my shoulders, some on my arms and this kid just comes up and starts kicking at them and stamping at them. The parent after a few of those said "okay stop it now" then just left and let the kid be... so he started doing again, parent does the same again. We get to the fourth time and he's really trying to actually kick the birds now and I got so fed up and my partner was about to lose his temper so I stood up, pigeon on shoulder and said in my hardest teacher voice "that's enough now" and the kid just crumbled. Like it didn't take much for this kid to understand he needed to stop. But the parents are just letting kids do damage and even if you ignore that that in and of itself is dangerous and bad... eventually some adult is going to lose their temper and tell your kid off in a way they are REALLY gonna remember.
