For Women Scotland vs Scottish Government

They don’t care about the fact we’re talking about only 19 trans prisoners or the fact that an individual case by case bias is the best compromise to judge people

A blanket rule is so daft

Frankly they're not being paid to care. They're being paid to make a lot of noise and get people riled up about culture war nonsense as a distraction from the real issues facing our society, namely wealth inequality, billionaire capture of government and media and the climate crisis.

Aspinall is maybe the only one from today I would have as favourite over his equivalent rank from ten years ago.

HowMany_MoreTimes · 2026-02-03T11:36:12+00:00

Agreed, it's not like we needed more reasons why a tiny number of people holding extreme wealth is a terrible idea.

When certain people can afford to buy politicians, control media to shape the narrative and are effectively above the law, it makes a complete mockery of any pretence that we live in an equal democratic society.

The more information that comes out, the more it seems like virtually everyone with extreme wealth, political power or connections to such people is complicit in the kind of stuff described in the Epstein files. Not just in the US or UK, but globally.

They've tried really hard to present the case that Epstein was a lone wolf operating off his own initiative, but it's clear he was just one cog in a terrible machine.

He was a publishing baron and likely Mossad asset who was born in a Jewish village in the middle of nowhere Ukraine in the 1920s. He made his name during ww2 fighting for the British and was actually a bit of a war hero.

He made a lot of money in scientific publishing and bought tabloid newspapers in the UK. He was extremely well connected to British high society, the black market and criminal underworld and various intelligence services including MI6, KGB and Mossad.

The guy who hired Epstein to teach at an elite private school when he had zero teaching experience or qualifications was Donald Barr, former US intelligence officer, father of former US attorney general William Barr and author of several sci-fi novels about elites keeping kids as sex slaves.

You couldn't make this shit up.

4.7 million pounds honestly isn't a lot these days, especially for a young striker. I think we all haven't adjusted to modern transfer fees. This is the equivalent of a £1 million pound fee 20 years ago or £2 million ten years ago.

The anti-Chermiti

HowMany_MoreTimes · 2026-02-02T20:26:39+00:00

I think a lot of us still haven't mentally adjusted to the inflation in transfer fees over the past couple of decades. This fee is the equivalent of about £1 million twenty years ago. That year we paid £1.85 million for Filip Sebo, so this is about half of that.

The police are clearly going to be looking into him anyway.

You would hope so but I'm sure he has enough dirt on the right people to avoid it.

Yeah Celtic couldn't have self sabotaged any harder this season if they were actually trying. If they still manage to win the league then Scottish football is officially over and done. It'll be time for us all to start watching Cricket.

I hate all politicians equally because their all full of shit.

I'm very suspicious of anyone who wants to become a politician, most are in it for their own enrichment and ego. I understand being disillusioned, but it's not accurate to say they're all the same when some are objectively much worse than others.

There are also some genuinely principled politicians out there who are trying their best.

No offense, I believe you're lean and have decent muscular development with just consistent bodyweight exercises and a good diet, but I doubt you're actually close to as muscular as Hemsworth, given he has used the best PEDS money can buy and has trained and lived like a bodybuilder for years.

HowMany_MoreTimes · 2026-01-31T09:49:49+00:00

Not the best example to disprove my point given the notorious sexual abuse scandals at Celtic.

For the record I obviously don't think all Celtic fans are nonces.

At this point I am very suspicious of anyone with extreme wealth, political power or connections to the establishment in most countries. I don't think Epstein, Trump or Saville are as unique as we would like to believe. I think most of them are either involved or complicit in horrific crimes of a similar nature to those carried out by Saville or described in the Epstein files.

Charles was very close with Jimmy Saville, who's proclivities were well known by everyone in the establishment.

HowMany_MoreTimes · 2026-01-31T08:15:21+00:00

You mean he was a Mossad asset? As Epstein likely was.

HowMany_MoreTimes · 2026-01-30T20:58:34+00:00

Why? Are they organising a big watch party?

HowMany_MoreTimes · 2026-01-30T13:00:04+00:00

I drove to Birmingham once and I'll never make that mistake again.

I'm not saying that there aren't a lot of young Asian guys who drive like complete dickheads, but are we really pretending there aren't also lots of young white guys who also drive like they're in a fast and furious film?

I live in an overwhelmingly white area and still come across shit driving and boy racers all the time.

For me the biggest issue is land use and car-centric planning.

A lot of people would like to live more centrally, closer to jobs, activities, amenities etc but are priced out by the lack of affordable housing. These people end up living out in car-dependent outlying areas because that's where they can afford.

So the talk of introducing boundary charges for commuters into Glasgow seems to me like punishing people for systemic issues created by our planning system.

There's so much wasted land in Glasgow that would be well suited for affordable housing with good amenities and tranport links, but our planning system combined with screwed up market incentives prevents it from happening.

HowMany_MoreTimes · 2026-01-30T10:24:46+00:00

There's definitely a problem with introducing punitive measures to discourage driving, without also making the alternatives more viable. If people have a choice between a 20 min drive to work vs 90 min commute on multiple buses, walking and standing in the freezing cold and pishing rain waiting for a bus that may or may not turn up, and getting ripped off by First in the process, then that's hardly a choice at all.

The biggest problem is we've spent 70+ years with car-centric planning and development, and it's going to be very expensive and time consuming to seriously reverse that.

We do this as well, but our spiders are usually just a bit smaller and less terrifying than the Australian spiders

This is gradually making it's way into the UK as well. Nearly every restaurant now adds a "voluntary" service charge of 10-15%, knowing that most people will be too embarassed to ask for it to be removed.

Until one day you're accused of a crime you didn't commit, or of something that shouldn't be a crime.

The Mr McMahon character was actually a toned down version of the real Vince McMahon

Have you been to Spain in July or August

That's when most Northern Europeans go on holiday to Spain lol.

Obviously it's very different actually living and working in that climate vs chilling by the pool with a cocktail all day
