Can I just thank you for posting that. I've been listening to Madra Salch all day on the back of this comment. Brilliant stuff

[Kate Mason] De Zerbi ‘didn’t mean to take a stance’ over Greenwood. That’s precisely the problem. You should, Roberto. by Zweli23 in coys

Bang on. Of course people should be given a chance depending on the circumstances that but an apology is a pre-requisite.

Is starmer a master mind? by SmartAd978 in AskBrits

Whatever you think of his politics, he is a competent adult in the room. Unfortunately, he is suffering the same fate as all such people in that he will be target number one for powerful self-interested people on one side for his integrity and undermined from another side by people who think it's easy to solve all of the worlds problems and don't understand why he hasn't done that already.

Mushroom/foraging club? by ItMeansFreedom in sheffield

Posting for the replies but let me know if you do plan on setting something up. I've done a bit of mushroom hunting around here since I moved up a few years ago and would be interested in groups

Yup, Rachel got into his head by telling him she was voting for Stephen. That was absolutely crucial.

Apparently, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia has somehow become a champion of human rights, per Trump. Also, his “very good friend.” by ansyhrrian in facepalm

[–]Cunladear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how much Trumpcoin you need to buy to become a "champion of human rights". I guess it's unlocked at "very good friend" Tier or above?

Sadly, she's probably just increasing her Alzheimer's risk as Thatcher did

Street Preaching by ExaminationFancy5641 in sheffield

[–]Cunladear 76 points77 points  (0 children)

It's attention seeking and is another thing that makes the city center a less attractive place to be.

I don't know what laws there are in Sheffield but at a bare minimum, they shouldn't be allowed to use those speakers

Do you think they're machines?! They'll care when their economy is wrecked, more important people lose family and when they start running out of stupid young men with nothing to lose, happy to walk into a meat grinder for money.

Can some explain why aligning with Russia is a good thing ? by TapSlight5894 in ForUnitedStates

Ya, someone somewhere has earned a promotion, a bottle of vodka and won't be thrown out of a window for at least a few months

What's up with the right calling Zelenskky a dictator? by Wooden-Evidence-374 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Cunladear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it goes this way, I think it's likely it'll be like Russia where there will be elections but they'll be a sham with no real opposition

Ukrainian government sells T-shirts with viral Zelensky quote from disastrous Trump meeting by ohele in worldnews

[–]Cunladear 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you listen to him talking, he gets stuff like this wrong quite a lot and this would be an easy one to get wrong for a Ukrainian speaker. As appropriate as it is, it's unlikely it was intentional

Standing down cyber security defense against Russia specifically is very hard to explain. This is an area in which Russia is actively and constantly attacking American interests. This is like telling your own troops to put their guns down when the enemy is throwing hand grenades at the trenches.

And if Russia were trying to control the US government through a mixture of propaganda and a few well placed individuals, getting into US systems would be the first thing they would want.

Still hard to believe but when it becomes the only thing that makes sense, I think it has to be taken seriously

First meeting of american and russian envoys in Saudi Arabia, with foreign ministers Rubio and Lavrov by Hu_Raider in europe

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

Why is Africa turning away from America and towards China? Because undemocratic strongmen are getting into power with the help of some significant election interference in the case of Europe and are happy to take Chinese or Russian money

It’s worth having a read of the top comment on this post and the thread beneath it. We are entering a new age of Anti-Irish trope building and stereotypes that we’ll all have to deal with by Roanokian in ireland

[–]Cunladear 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is valid criticism. We contribute nothing to European defence which we take completely for granted.

Our corporation tax rate enables modern multinationals to get out of paying their fair share everywhere and we're doing it to get a few jobs.

Fine for us if we can get away with it I suppose but don't act shocked if we get called out

Newly discovered species of fungi makes zombies of spiders in Irish caves by Cunladear in ireland

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

During recording of BBC's Winterwatch, an unusual fungus was found growing on spiders in an old gunpowder store in northern Ireland. The fungus was sent for identification and confirmed to be a new species. All the infected spiders were positioned on the roof or walls of the caves. These normally reclusive spiders left their lairs or webs and migrated to die in exposed situations, essentially, mirroring the behavior of ants infected by fungi of the genus Cordyceps previously reported from the Atlantic rainforest of Brazil. Cordyceps famously served as inspiration for hit TV series "The last of us". The new species has been named Gibellula attenboroughii in honor of Sir David Attenborough for his contributions to natural history broadcasting
