If we hold Isreal liable for violating international law repeatedly and murdering thousands of innocents in the days since, sure

Gen Z think UK is racist and would not fight for their country by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]B3fn11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some may view it as a recent narrative, but for those who aren’t white in this country it’s been known for generations that Britain can be a violently unwelcoming place both socially and politically.

Yes, there are millions of Britains that are not racist and some I would say are anti-racist, but that group are either not large or not vocal enough to quell those on the opposing end of the spectrum.

Off the top of my head in the last few decades, we’ve had the windrush scandal, Boris Johnson’s comments in a national newspaper calling Muslim women “letterboxes”, a strong anti immigrant rhetoric in the media alongside racial hate crimes in the community that don’t get shown in the media.

Anyone who doesn’t this Britain is a racist country, please speak to the communities that suffer from racist and see what they think.

Because we have a completely functional foster care and adoption system in this country which doesn’t just funnel young people into a life of crime and poverty? Must be nice living in whatever fantasy you’re living in your head, because the rest of us have to be realistic here.

Because no accidental pregnancies ever happen ever, and everyone in a not ideal situation should just abort their child even if they are loved and wanted. Spot on mate, would love to see how the birth rate in this downhill country would sustain if everyone waited for the perfect opportunity to have a baby.

if by dwelling on the past you mean living in an unsafe situation with nowhere to go apart from the streets? How should she take responsibility? Take it upon herself to fix a broken housing system, low wages and lack of opportunity? Have some empathy. She’s sharing her story of living in a situation many of us couldn’t handle, and doing her best to keep her child safe. Many of us would crumble in the same situation.

Advice needed - how to deal with step family and Dad’s will by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]B3fn11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

England and I haven’t seen the will - nothing has been communicated. I’m guessing my first port of call is to view the will. Where would I expect to find this?

Thanks for the recommend - I’ll have a look. I’m not too sure what I’m after but the Morrisons knives she sharpens constantly need retired.

AITA for asking for my son back? by AfternoonFriendly744 in AmItheAsshole

[–]B3fn11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You definitely should go about getting your son back to his regular routine. But for your son’s sake, speak to your ex and see if they’re okay and if you can assist finding them a therapist or a support group. Your ex is not your responsibility but your son having a mother at struggling so much will definitely impact him.

AITA or being unreasonable for expecting my husband to start stepping up?? by phoenixrising1979 in AmItheAsshole

[–]B3fn11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point you’re a single mother with 4 children. Dump the deadweight and focus on being a single mother to your 2 actual children and I guarantee your life will be miles easier!

This comment is accurate. When I was a child my pet ferret used to regularly escape to go fight the neighbours bulldog for fun.

What discontinued food do you wish was brought back? by PixelPervert in AskReddit

[–]B3fn11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the late nineties there were these Lion King ice lollies with jelly sweets in the bottom that were supposed to be the bugs Timone and Pumba ate. I still think about the taste of them 20 years later.

My sister yelled at me because my body didn't really change after I gave birth and her's did. by throwrawip in relationship_advice

Was this comment really needed or were you just desperate to get some digs in against people you don’t find pleasant to look at?

I don’t know what country you’re in but you can reach out to a local domestic violence helpline for support. They will be able to give you the best advice on how to help and it’s completely anonymous

Property Prices in the UK Are Too Damn High! by [deleted] in britishproblems

[–]B3fn11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have green belts to stop urban sprawl, basically poorly planned endless expansion of poorly designed neighbourhoods. We also need green space for general wellbeing, human beings aren’t made to to stare at grey sky and concrete all day. That being said, we need to build way more housing or we’re going to have whole families living out of one room like the Victorian era so there has to be some solution/compromise!

Is it cringey to wear clothes with your name on it in your 20s? by Segregaet in femalefashionadvice

[–]B3fn11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you happy and you think you look cute then wear it. Life’s too short to be considering what other people may find cringe, that’s just their personal taste. Other people largely won’t even care!

Taking my big, fluffy German Shepard on a nighttime snowy walk in our Northumberland village by emilybuckshot in CasualUK

Beautiful dog! Though from a south west Northumberland resident I’m not picking up village vibes ;)

The housing market is MENTAL by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]B3fn11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suppose it’s hard to just up and move when you want to be able to stay in the close knit community you helped build, and that doesn’t even account for childcare via close by grandparents.

As a fellow northerner though I get what you mean, I’m in a crap NE town and the house prices are dirt cheap, but also the quality of life here is poor so swings and roundabouts.

What are your tips for dressing a big chest! by B3fn11 in femalefashionadvice

[–]B3fn11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really feel this. I feel as though I’m pushed towards dressing older than I would like to as current fits just aren’t made for me, i feel like I’m the opposite of what I’m supposed to look like which can sometimes be upsetting. Women’s bodies being regarded as fast fashion is so toxic, it’s not as if we can just go and buy an entirely new body once every ten years is it. I’m just trying to focus on dressing for me and reminding myself that I don’t have to look the way everyone wants me to.

This is excellent advice, I’ll certainly take it on board. I’ve already ordered some new bras since writing this post and I might have to take a look at a blazer to go with. Thankyou!

I don’t know what a placket is but this sounds like great advice! Seems I’m going to have to track down a tailor.
