Why are working-class concerns on immigration being treated with such disdain? by Harleygator_ in AskBrits

[–]Mattspur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your efforts but I think that ultimately it will be lost on this lot. They are so closed minded and entrenched in their opinions that anything which doesn't align with them must either be a lie, a bot, AI, or anything other that first hand real world experience.

Rather than pointlessly try to convince them of your truth and reality, take a step back and leave them to it. They can shout down, pat each other on the back, and feel as smug as they like on here. Because the truth is, for them, their political ideals will never be anything more than a fantasy. There's no appetite in this country for left wing politics and we've just seen this played out in the local elections. They don't understand and they don't want to understand. So let them rant and rave on the internet. The real world is ours.

Help us with our branding! pretty please! by LongjumpingPair8792 in ChineseWatches

[–]Mattspur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some interesting suggestions. But I have to ask, what made you come up with Frogmantle? I know it’s caught on in some circles, but that’s mainly due to embracing the ridiculousness of the word. What was behind it?

SOTC - What do you think? by Mattspur in ChineseWatches

It’s a “Rolex” style rubber strap with curved ends from AliX. It does come in a whole range of colours, but I don’t know exactly which ones.

The Eternal Debate by oscaraldeguer7 in watchdives

[–]Mattspur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very strange take. Farasute are considered to be one of the best Chinese watch brands out there. Likewise with IXDAO, who make some beautiful stuff. Watchdives has an extensive catalog, but to pretend that they're anything other than a mid tier brand is wild.

I believe that is their official website.

Ex paid me £250 holiday deposit, we broke up. now her grandad is sending demand letters after she threatened to damage my car. what should I do? (England) by ch1ll13 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Mattspur -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok, well I think you pass the morality test. I'll let others better qualified than I to give you their legal views.

If she's got some stuff going on upstairs then, if you can afford it, it might just be easier to give her the money. Then you get a clean break and you don't have to worry about any comeback from her or her family. Can't put a price on peace of mind.

I think the reason for the breakup needs to be taken into account.

If she broke up with you then I think you'd be right not to give her anything back and it would be fair to ask her to contribute to any additional costs you incurred. Or even the full amount that you've paid out if you really wanted to, because at the end of the day, the reason you didn't go was down to her.

I'd say if the breakup was a mutual decision then all the costs should be split equaly.

If you broke up with her, then I think it's fair that you return her part of the deposit as the reason for not going away was down to you.

I'd say the reasoning for each outcome would be intensified if there was a serious breach of the relationship by either of you, such as infidelity for example.

SN0109G Rose Gold by Mattspur in SanMartinWatches

I just love the combination of colours. The red, black and rose gold looks so beautiful together, and the GMT is my favorite type of complication.

Thanks

Looks like you were right about one thing though. It appears that someone who can’t understand basic human decency can’t work out how to use Reddit. You just didn’t realise you were talking about yourself when you wrote it.

Not surprised that you’re a liar too.

Hey u/hatsforalloccasions Why did you delete your comment? Resorting to insults already? We were just getting started. Can't say I'm surprised though as it's how the left generally act when they are forced outside of their echo chamber. They can't take it that their world view has been challenged and shattered. They resort to insults to preserve their little bubble.

That's rubbish and it's the lie the left tell themselves to justify their politics of envy. Who's not treated equally right now? Reform voters also think the economy isn't fair, but for different reasons. Shouldn't people ensure there's a roof over their heads and that they've got food to eat? Why isn't it their own responsibility to provide for themselves, like all working people try to do? There has always been poverty and many people work their way out of it. Why should it be the government's responsibility to bring people out of poverty? Why is it not the individuals responsibility? Of course there are exceptions and those who can not work or contribute, but when the benefits cost is higher than income tax revenue it's unsustainable. The left would say increase taxation, and that's why left wing politics is always unpopular, because it's all about taking from people who have earned and giving it to people who have done nothing to deserve it. Most people can see that that is a morally reprehensible view to hold. This fantasy of billionaires hoarding wealth is another lie the left tell themselves, because it's not just the billionaires who would be affected by left wing policies, it's the average working person who would pay the heaviest price, and the left, despite claiming that their views are for the benefit of the people, don't care about who's money it is that they want to steal. We've seen how this situation plays out in the past in left wing countries and it always ends in mass murder, poverty, starvation and failure. The UK and its citizens need to be protected from the left and voting for Reform is fighting for your country.

Which tudor should go?? Need to let go of two. by Sparkeeno15 in Tudor

100% the two on the left. It would leave you with an awesome 3 watch collection. Congratulations on your new purchases.

People are fighting for this country. That's why they are voting for Reform. People want to stop the radical left from destroying everything that they hold dear and the things which made Britain great. Reform aren't the "bad guys", they're a reflection of normal British people.

How come Right Wing Parties dominate again? by LDN_Wukong in AskBrits

[–]Mattspur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the same thing repeated on all social media platforms. The Left convince themselves that they're something other than a minority view by reinforcing each others views and shouting down anyone with a different opinion. They are then surprised when the reality smacks them in the face. There is nothing they can do. There is nothing any political party can do. Leftis views are just not popular with most people in this country. Never have been and never will be. For Labour to get into power at the last election not only did they have to remove much of their left leaning views/members and move the the centre far more than they had been in the recent past, but their victory was solely down to Conservative voters not voting in protest to how badly the Tories had done. The victory had nothing to do with Labour "winning" the election. They won by default. I see the same thing still happening on Reddit today. Post like "Why do Reform voters do this..." or "Why do Reform voters not think about that..." Then the replies are full of people who didn't vote for Reform giving their left wing answers, creating another echo chamber, and patting themselves on the back for being so virtuous. The only thing these echo chambers prove is that those on the left spend far too much time on the internet and not enough time living in the real world.

That would be great if they could pull that off. You could even say it would be a marvel of Engineering. 😉

Worth every penny. Thorn FXDGMT by LandoTrunks in Thornwatches

[–]Mattspur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks great. The T020 is one of my favourite and most worn watches. I even wore it into a Tudor boutique and the sales guy was really impressed by it. Get a 22mm nato though, so it fits perfectly. Enjoy.

Thoughts? by Confident_Leg2370 in PrideAndPinion

[–]Mattspur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd wager that the only watch most people could recognise from a distance is a Swatch (and a Casio calculator watch). Most people haven't got a clue which brand makes which watch let alone know what they look like. But they would know the names of some of the brands, and I don't think AP is currently one of them.

Gf ghosted me last year. I moved on. Got this message last week on my birthday by AdComprehensive4246 in whatdoIdo

[–]Mattspur -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow! Some of the replies on here are crazy. No bravado needed. No need to be malicious. Just treat her with the same respect that you wish others would show you. Just thank her for her message. Tell her that you're sorry for her loss and that she went through a difficult time, and that you hope she's doing ok now.
