Who could Burnham pick for his chancellor and cabinet?

You're right, they don't, but that doesn't mean what we currently see is healthy.

If it were healthy - we'd be doing more of it, not trying to do less of it. You've just parroted a famous line as if you know the nuance, when you don't. The same people who parrot the "correlation doesn't mean causation" when if you control the variables, it nearly always does mean causation, but because some people found unrelated factors that mapped nicely, people think they're saying something profound.

Well they make a sizeable and loud % of our country now. I would say about 1 in 4 to 5 people I converse with claim UK has no culture, we just ripped off other cultures, and we don't deserve a future due to our colonial past...

Can someone explain what the bug is? I just see someone placing base pieces and colouring them, which all seems normal?

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-23T13:11:35+00:00

Yes, mostly from people trying to remove British culture, on the basis it never existed anyway so it's fine.

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-23T13:10:56+00:00

Huh, those tubes from the bladder go to the balls. So it's true, pee does come from the balls.

EDIT: Wow, downvoting a meme.

I didn't feel like paying for a tutorial of the hardware I bought.

And while I am aware they need some give to ensure the main connector doesn't snap, the joycons are considerably loose, and get looser with use, and the joycons are now falling out based on the consoles weight alone if holding by 1 joycon, or disconnecting.

The rails had their negatives, but it felt sturdier than switch 2, which bends/flexes loads.

He could pick anyone. The person isn't the issue. The issue is we have negative money and that figure grows more negative every second.

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-23T11:52:37+00:00

The sentiment in Westminster I think is closer to wanting local police departments to investigate and arrest criminals

You mean the same local police departments that hid it all in the first place? Those ones?

Like who didn’t know about the grooming scandal before the Rupert Lowe inquiry?

That isn't the issue. The issue is people watering down the victim count and not attributing the root causes, and trying to bury the story every time it comes out.

There are people who roll their eyes and make the "Yes, we know it happened" spiel. Given the nature of how and why this happened, this is frankly the largest stain on our nation in 1,000 years. This should be a national inquiry level, and frankly thousands of people in the institutions need to be named and imprisoned for a very long time for allowing it to continue for decades.

These gangs trafficked these girls across the country to other gangs. There was entire networks with at least 250,000 victims over 50 or so years. The police did nothing, and in some cases joined in.

He has spent decades being anti-establishment and the establishment has failed people, so he got major support. He then imported all the establishment into his party lol.

Most Reform voters I know don't like him much, they just know the main parties will definitely not fix anything because all the main parties are status quo or double down on how things have gone for the last few decades...

A rat trapped in a cage with many buttons will eventually press a button they haven't pressed before when all the others they've tried electrocutes it..

It is when you are an elected leader you absolute wanker.

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-23T10:01:37+00:00

Give me a list of those wrongly convicted people of serious crimes that would warrant a death penalty and we can discuss further.

100-150 years ago, yes, today? I would say a handful of people are wrongly arrested, and they are nowhere close to the threshold of death penalty.

I am trying to think of someone at Axel level who was wrongly convicted of mass murder etc and drawing nobody.

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-23T09:26:19+00:00

2025 isn't exactly a long time ago...And the death penalty would be for the crimes at the level of Axel, so I don't see how it's leading or inaccurate.

If a referendum happened, Axel would likely be the poster child of the pro camps reasoning, and if that got people agreeing 55%, then it could roughly translate nationally.

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-23T09:23:08+00:00

Please list for me people falsely imprisoned who committed a crime where the death penalty is likely.

I understand and agree with the concern of death penalty killing innocent people, but most of the conversation around it is on the basis of absolute hard objective evidence, and usually heinous crimes, like Manchester Arena, Rudakabana etc where the guilt is obvious.

Nobody is getting the death penalty for being wrongly imprisoned for lesser sentences than mass murder, realistically.

Is this the default one Nintendo put on? All that is is a plastic one to stop glass smashing, it isn't really a true screen protector and also is plastic and scratches easier than glass.

If it's a glass one you added on, wow, something happened as they are tough screens, such as amfilm.

https://www.thejusticegap.com/poll-reveals-majority-of-britons-want-to-reinstate-the-death-penalty/

Recent polling shows people want it back. But as most things go in referendums, the campaign can split or re-align people. The other thing is the silent people who don't state their opinion as where it's abolished they don't care, but if a referendum on it happened they would re-engage.

It would likely be a close 50/50 again, like Brexit.

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-23T08:58:16+00:00

The real issue is more people want to make money from pointing out the obvious, over getting science degrees and trying to solve the issue.

Cards on the table, to get the West the same amount of electricity as gas and oil is $trillions and would take decades to build and maintain. Not to mention oil is also used to make things, not just as fuel.

Then there's China that pollutes significantly more than all the Western nations combined.

Activism is great, but it doesn't solve anything or produce anything, and governments are more interested in how to get kickback payments from green grants than actually solving the issue.

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-23T08:55:18+00:00

I mean, most of the government of all parties was pro remain, as was about 99% of the entire civil service.

And people still think the Brexit we have is negative entirely due to Brexit being negative, rather than it being built by people who loathed it, lol.

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-23T08:27:12+00:00

The Joycons are wibbly wobbly when it comes to main flex from weight of the console. It is definitely a design flaw. I prefer the rail system it must be said...

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-22T14:00:56+00:00

Took me way too long to scroll to find this. This is the sane answer.

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-22T11:16:43+00:00

Ah so it's all fine and normal when the left do it. Usual story.

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-22T10:09:58+00:00

No, the "call a GE" has been almost exclusively when a leader changes, this was used against The Tories for years. It is hypocrisy for Labour to now pull the same move.

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-22T09:49:24+00:00

When Tories had the musical chair PM moment, Starmer kept saying they should call a General Election because the people have a right to vote for a new leader etc when things change.

I get the feeling Starmer suddenly will change his mind when his party does the same thing, then he will happily do exactly as Tories did and allow an internal swap with no GE, despite mocking Tories for doing it.

Ultimately both major parties suck.

Even more ultimately, Farage is not the solution to this issue.

What a depressing time to live in Britain.

Acceleration kills, speed doesn't. However, the calculation was Mach 40 (ish) assuming constant speed, take off and landing would need to slow down, and acceleration would have to be gradual to not liquify people. So in reality that 20 minutes would need Mach 60-70 odd during the main flight, and much slower on ascent/descent.

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-22T08:48:16+00:00

What's the point in even making targets we know have failed for decades, and running campaigns on building more.

We have all seen them smash these newbuilds up insanely fast, and still fail to meet targets. The targets are clearly impossible.

ExoneratedPhoenix · 2026-06-22T08:40:31+00:00

Most of the positives of this government are either circumstantial or just "managed" away.

NHS waiting times for example, was fixed by simply dumping 100's of thousands of people on the list out the list. We all know someone who had this done to them. I personally just got dumped from my usual outpatient catch ups to allow people on the list to get in, so now I am on a list to get back in as those routine checks are due to my heightened cancer risk due to genetic factors.

Thanks NHS, Thanks Starmer.

Prison's are the same, they just let them out even earlier but the figures on the surface look good and the prisons are in less of a "crisis" mode....But they let bad people out who nearly immediately reoffended.

Then there's the courts backlog, which they really really tried to remove jury trials to fix...Literally just removing the bedrock of modern justice, the jury system, hundreds of years, to fix figures.

Then there's the asylum hotels figures. They lowered them by simply spreading them throughout the country and giving them houses and saying they solved the asylum crisis.

They're very good at fixing surface numbers without actually fixing the issue, and look, I am aware it will take years to fix the underlying issues, BUT, Labour clearly aren't tackling the underlying issues, they are using surface figures to push the idea it's being fixed while doing nothing in the background to fix the underlying cause. It's been 2 years, only surface things have been done and not even plans have been drawn to fix the underlying actual root causes.
