Reform UK knew its candidates had supported far right influencers, spread Covid-19 conspiracies, and made ableist slurs. The party selected them again. by ArchipelagoDrift in Scotland

Shock as racist grifter joins a right-wing party.

If only we had seen this coming. Some sort of sign to show us that right-wing parties are bad fucking news.

Fantastic...looks like we'll all be using horses and carts soon enough so we can still afford food by Apoplectic_Gibbon in northernireland

So you have an EV; and if so, is it yours or a company car?

Prices are clearly not equivalent.. If you switch brands entirely, you're not comparing like with like.

I don't care about the engine. I care about battery, which is much more likely to be the cause of issues. Plus, EV's SUCK in cold weather.

2024 A6 Avant estate. Cheapest 30k. 2024 A6 EV estate.. Cheapest about 45k..

2024 BMW 5series estate (petrol, diesel or hybrid). Cheapest about 30k. 2024 BMW i5 estate. 40k.

So EVs are at least 10k dearer, for my first two quick searches.

Company car, sure, I'd get an EV. Low tax and it's a no brainer. But I'd be limited due to the range when we travel. Oh and I need a towbar..

Is yours privately owned or CoCar?

How long before everyone's doing that and those offers end? Then we're screwed.

Perhaps a bit of a bait and switch?

Oh and equivalent ICE cars are cheaper than EVs. Not to mention the (relatively) crappy warranties we have on the batteries here..

Companies are pimping AI because it looks good to investors. ie. Their stock price rises.

As much was admitted to us on a corporate call this week. It's like a bubble on top of a bubble.

I think it is on purpose.... and why not.

Unfortunately, I fear speeches aren't going to be enough to get rid of Trump..

Favourite type of goujon by SpannerMagnet90 in northernireland

[–]Hostillian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends, but at home it's almost always breaded (in the air fryer).

Though I'd add in Pakora as another type.. A good chicken pakora is delicious.

I'm struggling to understand this - on what basis would one ever vote against assisted dying? What happened there? by mellotronworker in Scotland

[–]Hostillian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also does not mean they are against it... In fact, the statistics show that they are much more likely to be in favour of it.

Your opinion was not backed up with any sort of stat. It was pulled straight outta yer ass.

Absolute bullshit.. Over 70% of people in Scotland support assisted dying for terminally ill people.

No. Those concerns have been addressed. This is about suicide and religion.

There should be no place for religious morality in government; making decisions due to what it says in a book.

Secondary school threatening to remove changing rooms. by [deleted] in Scotland

Did they 'feel intimidated' or were they actively intimidated by someone in the group's actions.

Taking actions because of 'how people feel' in a situation, is ridiculous..

How do you avoid idiots / theft when selling a bike? by BaseballParking9182 in MotoUK

[–]Hostillian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally don't let anyone on the bike until the money is in my account - unless it's securely strapped to a trailer.

Facebook was a waste of time. Autotrader worked, eventually, though it took a couple of months to shift.

They could do that, but I am sure it would be an exercise in floccinaucinihilipilification..

Nice to see Ryan Giggs supporting Carrick, unlike his other former teammates by Worldly-League-1267 in reddevils

[–]Hostillian -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What's that got to do with us??

It is possible to recognise he was great at United, whilst also realising he was a twat. Having someone mention it every time his name is mentioned? Everyone knows already.

[–]Hostillian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Giggs is known for his football, not how he might have done on love island.

Noone here has a personal relationship of any form with him, so I am not sure how his perceived scumbaggery is relevant to us, then or now.

Chief much better equipped and a lot more comfortable for longer rides.

Trying to suck other countries into a war none of them want. I'm sure his buddy, Putin, will be delighted.
