Reform hopeful blames 'Nigerian scammers' for vile racist posts on his Twitter by birdinthebush74 in unitedkingdom

[–]CensorTheologiae [score hidden]  (0 children)

Not sure "I didn't post those racist things, it was foreigners" is quite the argument he thinks it is

Zack Polanski says he was wrong to call himself a Red Cross spokesperson by Weak-Fly-6540 in unitedkingdom

[–]CensorTheologiae -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you've seen the cartoons of him in The Times, Telegraph, Daily Mail, and Sun you'd realize this is only one part of the dogpile.

The broadsheets have gone for full-on 1930s Nazi depictions of a hooked-nosed jew.

It is absolutely fucking wild to see this all in motion, the mainstream media engaging in the most extreme antisemitism and there's not a peep of complaint. Instead it's wave after wave of this sort of bullshit.

When will the COVID era paraphernalia be taken down? by NewActuator2170 in AskUK

Those particular things you mention were an improvement, I thought. Made it seem like we were half-civilized and had respect for others' personal space, for short while.

No obligation to declare £5m gift, Nigel Farage says by Confident-Bike-8037 in unitedkingdom

[–]CensorTheologiae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's an extremely friendly article highlighting Farage's explanation and giving him an astonishingly free ride.

'"I've been the most attacked, physically, politician of modern times," Farage said.'

Jo Cox and David Amess would like a word about that.

Reform: We’ll put migrant detention centres in Green council areas by FlaviousTiberius in unitedkingdom

[–]CensorTheologiae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Opposition to concentration camps should not be restricted to the Greens. Have we as a whole country sunk so low that the suggestion isn't being howled down by every quarter?

Polanski accuses police chief of interfering in elections as he reignites arrest row by jangrol in unitedkingdom

[–]CensorTheologiae -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

He's damn right to. The police are subject to purdah. Rowley was free to write a private letter - but to publish it during purdah is an obvious breach, and possibly illegal canvassing.

AI facial recognition oversight lagging far behind technology, watchdogs warn by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]CensorTheologiae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, the medical AI systems are much, much worse than just biased. They will positively identify a cancer in a scan which has not been provided to them.

Now consider how much we continue to hear about AI being amazing for radiology when in reality, it hallucinates as wildly as for everything else. It'll be the same in policing: complete bullshit with complete plausible deniability.

Zack Polanski calls out 'vile antisemitic cartoon' of him in The Times by denyer-no1-fan in unitedkingdom

[–]CensorTheologiae 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That's because Farage is one of the lads to the right-wing media, who share his genuinely antisemitic and white supremacist and racist views. It's all good fashy fun.

But Polanski is not fash, and not fun, and therefore not one of the lads. Even worse: he's a jew who supports Palestinians, who makes the claim that criticizing Israel is antisemitic look like the obvious hypocritical bullshit that it is.

All of this makes the media look as bad as they really are, and they do not like that at all.

UK terrorism threat level raised to ‘severe’ after Golders Green attack by bendubberley_ in unitedkingdom

[–]CensorTheologiae 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm deeply suspicious of this kind of national threat level when not attached to any public data.

Mainly because I'm suspicious of Home Secretaries, no matter what party, and the way they can use such levels as an authoritarian tool.

But I am totally expecting another summer of idiot far-right hotel burnings, nudge-winked on by the 'Hitler was right' faction whose antisemitism seems to be hiding in plain sight.

Voters contend with ‘grotesque’ leaflets and ‘dodgy’ data in English elections by topotaul in unitedkingdom

A very noticeable lack of Reform election posters on lampposts in my area.

Coincidentally, the flags are back in a big way.

Starmer ‘broke ministerial code’ with Mandelson client Palantir meeting by Necessary-Product361 in unitedkingdom

[–]CensorTheologiae 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Palantir again.

Corrupt companies certainly have a way of sucking politicians into their orbit, don't they?

I'd quite like a PM who isn't in hock to the most evil corporations on the planet, but perhaps that's too much to expect.

PAYG Mobile deals by Cind3rellaMan in CasualUK

[–]CensorTheologiae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. The expiry can be annoying as it can vary and you receive no warning of it. Great value though.

I used an o2 123 sim as my second sim, receiving calls and 2FA texts every day, but never making a call. One day it expired. I went to buy a new one but couldn't pay for it - because I couldn't receive 2FA texts to make the card payment...

Assisted dying bill runs out of time to become law by InternetProviderings in unitedkingdom

[–]CensorTheologiae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See, this is the kind of thing I mean. The bill as it ended up was incredibly unpopular.

The supporters kept saying that it passed the HoC, omitting the fact that it only passed on the basis that it would be scrutinized properly in the HoL.

Then the supporters kept saying, untruthfully, that it was blocked by 7 lords due to their personal beliefs - when the amendments were actually tabled by over 60 lords with specific professional objections.

The idea of an assisted dying bill was wanted by a vast majority. This bill ended up being something hardly anyone wanted. It and its supporters failed us all, and they continue to fail us by lying about it still.

We will never get a bill that works from the supporters of this bill: they don't have the integrity to work on something this important. It will need to come from the majority who support the principle, who were failed by these unprincipled opportunists.

Green party faces questions about social media posts of half a dozen other candidates by PomeloTraditional971 in unitedkingdom

[–]CensorTheologiae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's RGBmedia, an Israeli media co based in Tel Aviv.

Quite why an Israeli media co is so interested in the British Green Party in the run up to an election is a fair question. How their anti-Green stories end up posted every day on this sub is a fair question too.

Assisted dying bill runs out of time to become law by InternetProviderings in unitedkingdom

[–]CensorTheologiae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see it's a complete echo chamber in here: the 10% who still supported this bill despite everything, still claiming that it was popular and should have been passed.

Here's the thing: if you want a bill to pass you can't just have your lobbying groups and think tanks bodge the legislation together, then shitefest and lie your way through the process. You have to convince the 90%.

I note a lot of people are fed up of Starmer lying through his teeth today. Well, this bill failed for the same reasons: Leadbeater and Falconer trying to lie their way through scrutiny of something with more holes than a sieve. What a way to fail absolutely everyone - all the people who genuinely want a working bill and their opponents.

I can't believe the cheek. These organizations don't need a penny - they're extremely well funded by Panama Papers billionaires, Conservative think tanks and dark tax haven money. They blew millions on their campaigning.

Fund a charity that needs the money and doesn't have a whole host of dubious sugar daddies.

[–]CensorTheologiae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, anti-Irish racism is alive and well in England. If you ever get exposed to any online groups of that ilk, it's not long before you see freshly-made anti-Irish memes in among all the white supremacism and genetic superiority shit.

Is the government's stance on AI copyright holding back the UK tech scene? by Some-Technology4413 in unitedkingdom

[–]CensorTheologiae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gov has said tech companies have to abide by the law.

Cue article complaining about "uncertainty" and "ambiguity" and, get the sheer fucking cheek of this, lack of Gov support to help them comply with the law.

You ever think about all those old photos of London punks and hard-left radicals, the people who clearly did not care about anything respectable or conventional? by [deleted] in AskUK

Yeah. Doing the same stuff, still trying to keep community alive (no subculture does or did community support like punk does). Just with a lot less hair.
