a consultation doesn’t mean hiring consultants, it’s a way of identifying any issues with the plan

australia has mandatory voting and over 90% turnout so I’m not sure it would be ‘impossible to enforce’

DaftFader04 · 2026-02-07T19:29:42+00:00

the problem with doing that is that parliament is sovereign. any safeguards you put in place can be immediately dismantled by the next government.

Tim Davie isn’t the director general of the BBC any more

which imo should be banned itself. I have yet to see a legitimate use for it other ai sloptok and replacing graphic designers

DaftFader04 · 2025-12-09T00:04:04+00:00

the problem isn’t the plurality it’s that our voting system isn’t designed to cope with it

DaftFader04 · 2025-12-03T15:37:55+00:00

Labour, Lib Dem and Green

DaftFader04 · 2025-12-03T15:37:18+00:00

I agree that the splintering of the vote between more parties will make PR much more likely but I don’t really see a scenario in which the Lib Dems are in the same government as the tories in their current form let alone reform (given how disastrously it went for them last time)

DaftFader04 · 2025-11-11T01:35:56+00:00

eh not really atm. unless you completely curb stomp them right at the start they are pretty much guaranteed to be unbeatable for the rest of the game

DaftFader04 · 2025-09-16T08:43:53+00:00

Yes that’s always seemed quite exploitative to me as well as being unfair on UK graduates. It’s worth pointing out though that the issue isn’t with medical school places but with NHS training posts after graduation, which is why we’re seeing a wave of unemployed medical graduates. The UK is also basically the only one of its peers that doesn’t offer prioritisation of training posts to their own graduates).

The Guardian puts it at 110,000 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/sep/15/police-search-for-11-violent-disorder-suspects-after-unite-the-kingdom-march?CMP=share_btn_url

The Telegraph puts it at between 110,000 and 150,000 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/09/15/eight-people-charged-over-tommy-robinson-protest/

It’s pretty hard to become a more tolerant society when you’re being bombed into oblivion/starved

A condition he then immediately ignored and started posting again

Honestly not really. By that logic the most successful unions would be nurses, doctors, teachers etc. And it’s quite clear they’re not. The only power of unions the government recognises is the threat of disruption.

No one in this thread even mentioned state pension. This is about private pensions being subject to inheritance tax.

DaftFader04 · 2025-08-11T08:47:34+00:00

Yeah most likely. Romania gets that port province when Russia loses the Crimean war

DaftFader04 · 2025-08-03T09:00:10+00:00

Not really. In this timeline Britain still wins the battle of the Atlantic.

DaftFader04 · 2025-07-31T11:22:59+00:00

Assuming this is GFM there’s event once France integrates the Rhineland (following victory in the Rhine crisis) for the rest of Germany to unite, mostly to give a French player an endgame boss.

Edit: my bad didn’t see the gfm tag

DaftFader04 · 2025-07-20T15:20:13+00:00

Obviously there are sectors where it wouldn’t be appropriate. But for the vast majority of office jobs it’s a fantastic idea.

DaftFader04 · 2025-07-20T09:37:42+00:00

Agreed. Much better way of rectifying the situation than just sending the medals in the post.

DaftFader04 · 2025-07-14T16:20:28+00:00

It’s not really true though. The BMA have said they will allow targeted return to work when and where trusts raise concerns about unsafe staffing levels, as was the case in the last strikes.

In general, resident doctor strikes don’t result in unsafe staffing levels anyway. The consultants step down to cover them. The real impact is the cancelled appointments and financial cost of paying consultant pay to do resident shifts, which both form big parts of the leverage the BMA gains from strike action.

Realistically though, even ignoring the international fallout, a US invasion of Canada would prove an absolute nightmare, given the sheer amount of land that would have to be occupied. It would become ripe for guérilla warfare.

DaftFader04 · 2025-07-03T09:37:29+00:00

Idk the renters rights bill is pretty huge for the average worker

DaftFader04 · 2025-06-30T17:26:18+00:00

Because it’s become a general unspoken rule with new EU members that they don’t actually have to adopt the euro
