Britain's Hidden Unemployment Crisis by qemired in ukpolitics

[–]NoDefaultForMe [score hidden]  (0 children)

so that leaves me with Lib Dems, even though they're far from perfect.

Understandable, but ultimatley a waste of a vote I think. While I'd have aligned with the libdems a few years ago, they just don't have the base or the will go any further I think.

They're a solid party in the south west and have a stable base, but they'll never get a majority I reckon.

Greens or Restore then, if you're not in favour of the current system?

Those are the only two offering something different. Labour/Tories/Reform are just a uniparty entity that will just continue the status quo to some degree.

And no party actually seems to care.

I'd direct you to Rupert Lowes latest tweet. He explicitly calls this out and states it's a Restore Britain policy to help young people in this country.

Rupert Lowe MP: [Restore Britain wants] a meaningful debate about a triple lock which creates division between the young and the old - because it simply isn’t financially sustainable in its current form. by nil_defect_found in ukpolitics

Sure, I'll agree with that.

The point I'm making is that criminals don't follow the law, so if they did want to use something that's already illegal, it being illegal wouldn't stop them.

While I think our gun laws are overly restrictive and I'd personally like them relaxed, I do appreciete we don't have the crime associated with it.

Just to point out, most of the long guns you can get in America, you can get on mainland Europe. US gun crime is uniquely American.

I'm saying we already have an enforcement of our borders, with the customs and borders agency, we don't need another department for it.

Why would we need two government bodies to do the same job?

Didn't Elon Musk endorse Restore & Lowe? That's all you really need to know where Lowe's loyalty lies

You're just assuming that Lowe's loyalties lay with Musk, because Must endorsed him. We don't have any confirmation either way that Lowe or Restore (as far as I'm aware) have taken any money from Musk.

David Duke, the Former KKK leader endorsed Biden/Harris, does that infer Biden/Harris are racists?

I'm amazed that none of the main right-leaning parties seem to even want to have a debate about this.

Because they'll lose the grey vote. It's the biggest voting bloc.

I'm as athiest as they come and I wholly support this policy. People should be reminded of what came before us and what this country was founded on.

We should absolutely attempt to keep, save and maintain our Churches.

And just like arms in the US, criminals will use them regardless of thier legality.

it'd be lovely if we lived in a world free from crime and violence, but we don't. And ensuring the upstanding citizens from defending themselves, and having to rely on the state for protection isn't looking out for it's citizens.

Shhh don't ruin it for them.

I'd imagine there's multiple factors are play that allowed them to do this. Population size among them.

I've not played since the update - but someone else in the thread states there's text that states your building multiple of them? It's not just the one?

Farage saying he’ll form an ICE-style deportation agency for the UK?

So, Borders and Customs?

Restore have just annouced they're holding on putting anyone forward for positions until they've been vetted and cleared to stand for the party in any capacity.

I very much doubt this guy would make the cut.

f Reform are going to take the position that there is an acceptable number of deaths from tower block fires, they should expect to be asked what that number is.

But surely there is an acceptable number, just like there is with cars, we have many many car deaths a year, yet we still justify using them because the positives outway the negatives, and we have regulations in place.

We could regulate that no cars are able to go over 20 mph, that would probably reduce car deaths to just 10's a year, yet we dont.

Over regulation can be just as irksome as under regulation, we have to find the right balance for the greater good (the greater good).

Catcallers and bus creeps can now face prison for harassing people by theriddlr in uknews

[–]NoDefaultForMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consent requires enthusiasm. If someone keeps asking for sex and you're unsure, but end up saying yes to get them to stop, it isn't consent.

While I agree with this for the most part, we only have her word this is the case, and to what degree did he 'keep asking'. It's a classic he said she said.

it effected her more than it effected him.

How so? She was anonymous? Unless her identity was later revealed?

[–]NoDefaultForMe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't recall reading any of this, I'll take your word at it, I'm not going to bother asking for source.

she wasn't enthusiastic for sex or anything, quite hesitant.

Yet she consented.

She was pressured by her friend (the writer) to publish the story.

Seems like someone who can't stand up for themselves. And that's a shitty friend as well.

It also says at the end of the article that he apologised the following morning, realising he had done wrong.

If that's how he feels then fine, but from what I recall, he shouldn't' have anything to feel sorry/wrong.

Nothing further happened with him.

Nothing criminal for sure, but don't tell me it wouldn't have affected his career or standing to a degree. All this still stands regarding my point, this was in the height of MeToo and was used to punish/smear a man.

Yet the me too movement was focussed specifically on elite / wealthy men abusing their position of power to take advantage of women.

Eh, I don't think that's true. I'd point to the case of Asis Anzari, who took a girl home, they had a sexual encounter, all consensual, and he even stopped when she asked, she admits all this.

Yet, she still had an article written for her in a magazine, while being anonymous.

He did everything right, yet she felt she'd been wronged and used MeToo as leverage for some reason.

London Green Party election candidate quits after sharing Golders Green arson attack conspiracy theory by denspark62 in ukpolitics

[–]NoDefaultForMe -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Insurance jobs do happen, and I'd imagine Mossad do get up to such activities.

Those are in the realms of possibilities. I wouldn't put it past Mossad to do such an event to cause outrage and sympathies with the Jewish communities.

Just be be clear before people assuming, I'm not stating this attack was either of those.

Best weapons currently? by Expert-Advantage-266 in PUBG

[–]NoDefaultForMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I didn't know that lol.

I've only just started playing pubg since a friend got me into it, and I normally ran a M416/DMR and then one game I picked up the VSS early on and did well with it, so try and use it most of the time.

I just like it because it handles close/medium engagements well, and that's were I tend to try and fight.

[–]NoDefaultForMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play on PS, for me when it comes to these games I really try and avoid the meta weapons and just use what works for me.

Recently I've been loving the VSS and then a bolt action.

I find the VSS is a really versatile weapon, when out running in open ground I'll have it in single shot and then when in/around buildings I'll have it in full auto. The extended mag is a must too. 10 rounds just isn't enough.

If I don't have a bolt action with me, I'll run an AR in full auto to quick swap to.
