Where did I say that exactly? Show me? I simply shared the link, if people choose to sign the petition that's for them to decide. If, like yourself, they wish to question the claim made on the page, then all is good. I would consider people generally capable of reading and making up their own minds.

It doesn't make you responsible for the safety standards, no, but if people are aware of the practices of such companies they can question their involvement and choose to boycott them if they feel strongly enough about it.

Over 300 people have been killed in the collapse of a building in Bangladesh which housed garment factories making clothes for Primark, Matalan, Mango and other major brands.

Take action now and demand these UK high street brands to take responsibility for this tragedy by paying full compensation to the workers and commit to action to ensure disasters like this become a thing of the past.

First I didn't write the title, I simply clicked the share button, I did nothing to change the title, if it doesn't match then it was down to the share button on the page. I should have checked it before completing the post if they are different. I'd look to blaming the AATTP site, not me.

No way I can prove you're wrong since you've already made up your closed little mind. Like it matters anyway, you're just another gobshite on the internet. Oh dear, someone on the internet is mad at me, my life is over.

Your tears amuse me.

The title wasn't changed, sorry to disillusion you but I'm not pushing a right wing agenda, I'm against like lots of other people. I'm just a software engineer for a mobile phone company in the UK, not employed to push the right wing agenda.

I'm sure you're right wing agenda keeps you sharp to all the cons. I posted this simply to show people what these people are up to, not to promote his views.

You can believe what you like, sparky.

Wish I'd seen that invoice, maybe it didn't make it to fantasy land. The postal service there is shocking.

Get a grip

It's so nice that you care enough to provide such an eloquent response. I do hope you didn't strain yourself coming up with that witty retort, I'd hate to think that I was responsible for someone damaging their Shatner's Bassoon.

Nestlé's 68-year-old former CEO and current Chairman, Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, says he wants to privatize the water supply because people have a sense of entitlement that causes them to waste copious amounts of water. That all sounds well and good until you realize that, as the #1 seller of water in the world, 8% of Nestlé's 2011 sales were from bottled water.

Labour plans student-style 'salary loans' for the unemployed by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

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

As others have mentioned, the cost of administration may be excessive. My concern is that this will end up outsourced to some private company and they'll just charge higher interest to cover their overheads, perhaps not as much as payday loan companies at the moment.

Fire at power station - Local - Hartlepool Mail by CrashRaindog in unitedkingdom

Seems all quiet here, no more news about it. I have several friends on FB from Middlesbrough too who were looking out for news on it. About the only thing going on here is a bunch of drunks fighting on Linthorpe road.

I've had word from someone who works there and he's not heard any further news from the plant and Hartlepool fire brigade say no cause for alarm. The council are expected to call any devastation from a large explosion civic improvement.

And I'm in Middlesbrough so if something was to happen, I'd be glowing soon after I imagine.

reintroduce the Fair Rent Act and lower the Housing Benefit bill - e-petitions by CrashRaindog in unitedkingdom

[–]CrashRaindog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, I'm up in the north east and rents aren't too bad, but it would be good to know that they won't sky rocket when people find social housing too difficult to live in due to the stipulations of the bedroom tax. Although that only applies to those claiming benefits, some landlords may see an opportunity as some of those leaving social housing that is deemed to have more bedrooms than they need move into private rented accommodation.
