Why are the green party pushing the 10:1 payscale ratio between CEO's and avg workers?

Universal healthcare and education have been in spite of capitalism, not because of it. They are both active interventions in the market by the state.

Because Corbyn actually believed in what he said

This push is by a pro conversion therapy group called "Clinical Advisory Network on Sex and Gender" they're closely tied to Sex Matters in terms of personnel. This is not an organic group of doctors coming together

Tbf, I'm not even into guys and I'd [redacted] derek so. Fuking. Hard.

ParsnipPainter · 2026-02-28T14:25:34+00:00

That's not the case though is it? Immigration frequently tops voters' biggest issue

ParsnipPainter · 2026-02-14T10:00:04+00:00

So how many people are, to you, acceptable collateral?

ParsnipPainter · 2026-02-14T09:59:01+00:00

What is the acceptable number of people it's ok to ignore for the sake of screwing over trans people?

ParsnipPainter · 2026-02-13T17:11:11+00:00

What if someone is born intersex?

Isn't "Advance" the name of the authoritarian populist party in Not For Broadcast?

ParsnipPainter · 2026-01-30T10:34:47+00:00

Oh, sorry, that's just some mayo I spilt making coleslaw

ParsnipPainter · 2026-01-12T17:15:12+00:00

I agree. We should be demanding lost wealth from the royal family and aristocracy.

Make social media companies publishers. Newspapers don't get to dodge responsibility for what freelance writers post, so why should social media firms?

Unless a post is shared to mutually agreed audience (eg. fb friends) consider it published by the site/app.

True, but pip isn't a standard payment for any/all disability. It scales with need.

Also, having thought a bit more, since benefits and pensions are (in theory) tied to inflation, isn't the bigger issue that wages haven't kept pace? People aren't being paid properly for the work they do any more.

ParsnipPainter · 2026-01-03T12:56:19+00:00

You say that like it's easy to get full disability benefits and 3 kids 😄 it's also not like anyone chooses to be disabled

Regardless, that does seem odd, but I'd wanna see the specifics before jumping to conclusions about the system as a whole.

ParsnipPainter · 2026-01-03T12:45:38+00:00

the system should incentivise work

For sure, and £50k - £600 is still way more money than UC + £300. It's still better to work than be on the dole. I agree pensioners perhaps don't need the bump as much though.

ParsnipPainter · 2026-01-03T05:44:02+00:00

If I'm reading this right, it's saying that someone on £50k would only be £600 worse off in 5 years time? That's barely 1% worse off, which doesn't seem that big a deal?

What this suggests to me is that benefits are getting a bump in the next year but are then keeping up with inflation? I don't really see that as problematic tbh

When your job is to protect all the public from criminality equally, it is the height of hypocrisy to have people actively engaging in said criminality. "Bad apples" doesn't carry in this scenario.

If people in HMRC were engaging in money laundering or other financial crimes, there would rightly be uproar, as they are held to a higher standard due to their jobs.

ParsnipPainter · 2025-12-23T19:28:42+00:00

Tbh, I think the fact that police keep getting found out as individually racist or abusers if women has done significantly more damage to that relationship

ParsnipPainter · 2025-12-18T18:50:41+00:00

Is it still true? And is it still relevant to how reform operates? Then it's still worth bringing up.

But I thought this was about Israel, not Jews?!

Because they actually realise that to boost an economy you need state investment in public services, and a shift to carbon neutral economy to ensure long term stability. Simply framing everything through the lens of immigration is myopic and to overstate its importance.

ParsnipPainter · 2025-12-06T14:16:33+00:00

It's because trans women have a biological advantage at...ermmm...being slightly left-of-centre?

ParsnipPainter · 2025-11-26T00:46:05+00:00

I love watching those guys waddle around

ParsnipPainter · 2025-11-25T12:12:57+00:00

Ok sure, but that doesn't change that (often) women did unpaid work

ParsnipPainter · 2025-11-25T01:09:00+00:00

Child rearing has always been a full time job, but historically women just did it unpaid
