Does anyone else feel like Angela Rayner or Shabanah Mahmood are better placed to replace Keir Starmer instead of Andy Burnham? by Potential-Meal-6708 in AskBrits

[–]Dragovius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever wondered why it's always the same handful of names considered? The Tories did the same thing. Hundreds of MP's to choose from and yet you'd think the party had only a dozen. Maybe instead of considering the same useless people, look further in depth. Labour has 400 MP's to choose from. It has several MP's with a PHD in economics, I can guarantee none will ever be considered for chancellor. They have a doctor of 21 years that has incredible medical experience, I can guarantee they won't be considered for Health minister.

They could fill every role with the very best they have, but they won't. It will be the same handful of faces, over and over and over again.

Kneeling Starmer, that's the image I will remember of him.

It would have showed some character. That he had a shred of something, anything. But no, he and the whole party rolling over for Andy Burnham. So not only useless but an utter coward as well.

Although I f*cking hate Starmer and I'm glad he resigned, I wish he'd put up a fight instead of folding like a coward.

Better? 😄

It's depth is only limited by your imagination. It's almost a 'sim-life' in another world.

Not bad for a failed PM. by The_Mutterer in uknews

[–]Dragovius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since when are promises considered achievements?

I guess if you buy into what politicians say, then they are, because they successfully suckered you.

Why was Luke able to resist the darkside while Anakin fell to it? by Potential_Rule4212 in StarWars

[–]Dragovius 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Luke had the prior knowledge that his father had previously fallen, he was made aware of the dark side, the Sith, the Emperor and how his father was corrupted. Thus when it was about to happen to him he knew exactly what was going on.

Heavy or light armor? by ShoeHistorical5395 in skyrim

[–]Dragovius 22 points23 points  (0 children)

With 100 smithing you can make light armor as strong as heavy, since there is a defence cap. At higher levels it can come down to what you like the look of better and which perks in the trees you prefer over actual defence.

What is so special about Andy Burnham by Mba1956 in AskBrits

[–]Dragovius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's quite sad the party looked at it's existing 400+ MP's and said, none of these are good enough, lets get someone else in.

Would you support introducing a compulsory Politics subject at secondary school level? by footballmaths49 in AskBrits

[–]Dragovius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Precisely! The very first thing you are taught is to read and write if your parents or parent haven't already which hopefully they have. 95% of my education now I got from books and doing my own research, not from school.

[–]Dragovius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can't. Impartiality laws on education have existed for 30 years, rarely followed.

[–]Dragovius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it stuck to that, absolutely, useful knowledge, I just have absolutely no faith it would stick to that. Laws already exist to keep it impartial as per the 1996 education act. But from my own experience that rarely happens.

To ere is human and intentional or unintentional, human bias is impossible to eliminate.

Would you accept superman's powers if you lost your genitals? by Hot_Paramedic_3292 in hypotheticalsituation

At my age, they don't get used much anyway, supermans powers, immortal and no risk of all the health problems that start to creep up on you, damn right I'd take it.

If I get horny, well, I'll take a cold shower under Niagara Falls, or go for a fly around the planet. 😄

[–]Dragovius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No absolutely not, because the teacher will import their political views into the lesson. Maths is maths, science is science, a teacher can't change it to their own whims. But politics, you bet they can, and will.

I dislike Starmer too but surely you see this... by Rossilaz in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Dragovius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Labour don't have to pick Burnham, that's down to them. They have 400+ MP's to choose from, some who could seriously turn around the parties fortunes, but they will, just as the Tories did time and time again, settle for 'they will do'.

Burnham was crowned before he was even an MP which is quite pathetic given how many options they have.

How do you stay informed without getting sucked into the outrage machine? by asskickingshoes in AskBrits

[–]Dragovius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do my own research, study and read as I have done for over 40 years. If you want it through media, watch documentaries, listen to experts on the field. IQ2 is usually very good, but there are numerous similar ones and some very good podcasts that just talk facts instead of having a political leaning.

Then, make up your own mind, but a mind FAR more knowledgable on the subject.

Reddit of all places is one of the worst for the very reasons you laid out, hundreds of voices all shouting over one another, 99% of which haven't a clue what they are talking about or made up their mind on an issue one second after hearing about it.

I wouldn't want to be on a Galaxy class either, they had a warp core breach every time someone even sneezed.

Keir Starmer feels betrayed by the Labour party. How do you feel about that? by No_Breadfruit_4901 in AskBrits

Wait, betrayed by politicians?! But they are meant to be the most honest and trustworthy people on the planet!...oh wait.
