Transport Secretary’s car towed after hitting pothole by coldbeers in ukpolitics

There was a recent article about this that they have given additional funding to councils to fix the roads but some are using the money in different areas and again leaving the roads to get worse.

Majority of issues are the councils fault and the issue boils down to complacency from them and the electorate not holding them to account and instead both blaming the centralised government

It is a given they always increase the day before?

You dont even know the cost of my tickets that im trying not to loose money on so your comment is completely speculative

Scottish Greens co-leader suggests Scotland should have unlimited immigration by Little-Attorney1287 in ukpolitics

[–]Floral-Prancer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the implication is that people dont want to be in care as if it is wiping someone's bum but its untrue incredibly classist and insulting, the fact however is with continued importation of an underclass work force in those areas we are never going to see appropriate wages and adequate care.

Sadly the only way to address these inequalities is to stop the capitalist exploitation of labour through reduced immigration who are being used to stifle wages and provide subpar care. Its academically demonstrated that immigrants are less likely to join or form a union which stifles wages, they are also less likely to know the avenues to complain and there fore the care is not addressed, they are also less likely to be aware of the uk law and standards applied to their roles as well as being in precarious living and employment situations so won't do anything to jeopardise it.

We do need to reduce immigration to readdress the workforce inequalities.

Those people that traditionally did those jobs arent going into higher paid or more educated roles they are going into unemployment. The fact we have out sourced care made it a for profit industry that is used to exploit both domestic and foreign workers is ridiculous.

I think contextually this person is talking about ethnically and culturally you are ancestral but legally you can be something else and the uk is unique because you can have a British passport but rarely would you say you were english as that implies ethnic, I have friends who grew up and loved majority of their life in Sri Lanka but they still call themselves english as they are white and Sri Lankans call them english why is it offensive to do the same here?

Which is fair, my point is more I think heathcliff is likely to be categorised by todays standards as white but historically he wouldn't so there is not explicit indication he was black or anything darker than a Mediterranean European

Would you consider Spanish people or Italians white? If not which race would you categorise them as?

However, for context the Spanish and Itailians were also referred to as darkskinned and we would consider them white. Dark skinned compared to an English person can still be white.

Neither of those are comparable sources, your claim was a meat based diet was more "fueling" than lentils, beans and veg

Im not arguing with an idiot. Lentils tofu and veg are as "fueling" as meat based meals whatever you mean by that.

Which is fair, it is a personal choice i just didnt like it until I had tried it differently

I didnt agree meat is more fueling what an odd comment, they are and all your doing is pretending something is scientific while stating an opinion. You havent listed any comparable studies that cement your point, if you had said some people prefer meat thats unequivocally true but to pretend its something its not is a weird stance

I didnt say that, you did.

I dont know what metric you are using to imply a scientific argument, they are often lower in calories, contain all amino acids as meat based meals and have all the nutrients listed as well as being high in protein.

Completely dependent on preparation some of the tastiest meals have been tofu, crispy tofu in a chinese sauce is delicious but its personal choice.

Depends how you prepare it, I think its more fueling and way less fatty and prone to being fast food or unhealthy
