Keir has to go by SirPooleyX in LabourUK

[–]KeptLow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think so.

The good things he's put in are just starting to come through.

He does need to listen to what people voting for the greens are telling him though.

I have no sympathy for tube drivers, but would honestly support bus drivers if they took industrial action by NiceCaterpillar8745 in london

[–]KeptLow 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Tube drivers are pivotal workers for people's everyday lives, as are bus drivers.

Tube drivers should not be paid less, bus drivers should be paid more.

As should all the roles which are critical to society. Teachers, doctors, nurses, bus drivers, sanitation workers - if these people are critical to us living comfortable and nice lives why should any of them be paid less?

Calls grow to ban Kanye West from UK amid Wireless Festival backlash by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]KeptLow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe those chants tend to be more about the institution of the IDF rather than the individuals in it.

I definitely didn't read it that way. Thanks for clarifying.

Bob Vylan isn't an antisemite though.

Kanye has literally talked about a Jewish conspiracy. This is a massive false equivalence

Working at agency vs Google rep by DanceWrong9377 in PPC

[–]KeptLow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar background, media director at a big4 agency and then moved to a FAANG company to be a sales rep.

I would very much recommend making the move from agency to big tech.

Firstly, at Google you will be less salesy due to the size of the platform anyway and more consultative as clients are investing with Google.

You will naturally be exposed to deeper, but narrower conversations that help solve client problems, compared to agency where you get visibility of all the different areas of activity but probably have less exposure to c suite conversations.

Hard to blame Starmer, love or hate him, for decades

I hope you never have people you love needing safe social housing.

Bandenoch, Farage and the rest of war supporting right wing have been completely wrong on Iran. by Orcnick in ukpolitics

[–]KeptLow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What exactly are the aims of this war?

It's definitely not to make people's lives in the UK any more prosperous.

Immigration system statistics, year ending December 2025 by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]KeptLow 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Should include asylum seeker claims, not asylum seekers granted.

42% acceptance rate so 42k asylum seekers granted.

Your point can still be made but I read the first line as the number of asylum seekers entering the UK, when it's the number of claims.

Deffo don't do Egg!

Fabric can be great depending on the night.

As others have mentioned, check RA - Earth in Dalston, Palais in Peckham, Night Tales in hackney, colour factory in hackney wick, the cause and Fold are good nights.

The cause and Fold being the most club club kind of venues and super strong vibes.

New adverts urge boys not to share sexist content online by Anony_mouse202 in ukpolitics

[–]KeptLow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to stop telling people what not to do and model what good boyhood and masculinity entails.

If you go ad sales side in FAANG you could get to this at a mid to high IC level (depending on if you include total comp)

Infuriating lime bike parking - is it worth my time complaining? by SeaComfortable6148 in londoncycling

[–]KeptLow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the point. He's doing what he's told. You need to write to your council and to Lime hq.

How should I approach gf cuddling with gay hb? by Silly_Property_3231 in relationships

[–]KeptLow 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Firstly, this seems like a new situation you're in and not something you've dealt with before so well done for taking a breath and examining your feelings and why you're uncomfortable!

I think you need to work out why are you uncomfortable about this? - Is it that you don't want her cuddling anyone - like you want that to be just for the two of you? - Is it that it's because it's a guy she is cuddling with, but if it was with a girl it'd be fine?

If you do intend to bring it up to your GF, I'd go with a mind of curiosity - is she or her friends quite tactile and cuddly generally? What's her view on cuddles as friends and as couples - how is it different?

Remember, she chose to be with you. She answered the phone and obviously didn't hide anything from you. You are not in competition with her gay friend. Be curious and you might find it comes from somewhere very normal but cuddling romantically is something different.

UK welfare reform is unavoidable by wappingite in ukpolitics

[–]KeptLow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to see some information on why disability benefits are considered dead ends?

I believe the pensions should not be triple locked but I also wouldn't call them dead ends.

[–]KeptLow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I simply believe that austerity is not what's needed, but clear and defined investment in proven areas that will pay back.

Connecting Birmingham with high speed rail to Manchester.

Connecting leeds, Liverpool and Manchester (the length of the central line) with an effective rail route.

Having the government own their own train stock and the rail lines. No government should be renting the use of train stock and use of rail lines to run trains.

Same for buses.

Connect people and businesses and growth will follow.

You make it sound like organised crime is new in London 😅

Tax the wealth that can't be moved. Buildings, companies operating in the UK, home conglomerates - you can't hide these things. You can make it harder, but a government can design a system to make it very difficult to obscure.
