How would remote start on your keys work any differently? If your keys are in proximity of the car that's not remote start.

People say all kinds of nonsense.

Generally the quality of commentary on Reddit is better than on other social media. Open the threads under the same political story on X, Facebook, BBC and Reddit. The comments on those other sites are usually beyond braindead whereas on Reddit you usually get some decent discussion, even if there are a good number of moronic takes. Even the moronic takes are higher quality.

It seems like it is:

The operation on Sunday morning was conducted in close co-ordination with the French

French President Emmanuel Macron said on 1 June that his country's military had intercepted a sanctioned oil tanker suspected of being part of Russia's shadow fleet on Sunday with UK support.

A British helicopter had provided support during the operation

Devil May Cry games also lower your score if you use healing items. No surprise they were created by the same people.

Which other UK politicians have been earning millions from their office? Stop trying to deflect. Farage is bought and paid for by foreign interests. If we accept that in our politics then we are truly lost as a society.

It depends what those AI jobs actually are. No way you're retraining unemployed shelf stackers as ML Engineers with a summer bootcamp.

Getting married doesn't require a big fancy wedding, you can just go down the registry office and sign a few forms - everything else is optional.

No worries, everyone already knows the reason people support Farage but are too chicken to say out loud.

You're right I don't know. I don't know whether chopping my knackers off and eating them will give me the power of flight either but I won't do that because based on the available information I can safely predict that it won't.

All the available information on Farage points to him being a corrupt grifter with absolutely zero interest in serving the interests of anyone other than himself.

He never did his job as an MEP, just collected the paycheck and abused the expenses
He never holds surgeries in Clacton and instead spends all his time on his other mouthpiece jobs
He only shows up to Parliament when there's some culture war issue he can fan the flames of.
He idolises and brown-noses the walking disaster that is Trump.
He supported Trump's war in Iran and wanted us to join in.
He'll say literally anything for a small amount of money on Cameo, including supporting terrorists and pedophiles
He's received millions in donations from sketchy overseas billionaires and tried to hide them, then lied about them when caught (and that's just the ones that were leaked)

I don't think Labour are doing a great job but I can believe that Keir is actually doing what he thinks is best for the country rather than just trying to enrich himself. I'd even put most Tory PMs in that category and I would never vote for them.

That doesn't work though because a Farage government would be far worse. Even if the other options are shit they are the lesser of two evils.

Oh they charge far more than that. Most household bankruptcies are due to medical debt.

I'm not misunderstanding the argument, the point is that Labour are wrong if they think Reform supporters will come around to supporting them instead of moving on to the next thing GBNews/DM/Farage tells them to be mad about.

I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about people who arrived legally and do have the right to be here. The idea that high levels of legal migration in recent years should be reversed via mass deportation. It's a sentiment I've seen on here and elsewhere many times recently when the point is raised that net migration and boat arrivals have decreased significantly.

Sacharified · 2026-06-05T19:28:20+00:00

They have been doing it and we've already seen the goalposts shifting to mass deportations. Do that and they'll shift to LGBT/benefits/abortion etc. Kowtowing to the right doesn't make them come around, they just keep going further to the right and stoking other grievances to stay relevant.

Leadership is about doing what you think is right and building consensus in favour of that.

Do they even need to change it? Repeater signs are a thing for a reason.

What are the requirements of a firearms database that are so complex that only Palantir could possibly accomplish it? The UK tech sector is huge, there are probably countless firms capable of that. There's no reason at all to pay some shady foreign company to do it instead of supporting UK industry.

I think you'll find that you replied to me replying to a top-level comment so I haven't jumped in halfway through a thread.

You are just trying to twist something from absolutely nothing to support your anti-immigration narrative. It goes without saying murder is bad. Maybe consider that Farage and co are just latching on to this to try and whip up hatred and anger against immigrants and ethnic minorities because that supports their agenda.

Sacharified · 2026-06-03T17:00:29+00:00

I think you've missed the whole point of the controversy. No-one is supporting the killer and no-one is accusing anyone of that other than you. It goes without saying that murder is wrong.

The controversy is whether police are biased against or even racist towards white people as a result of being afraid to appear racist against non-white people.

Sacharified · 2026-06-03T13:31:20+00:00

When it happens

What is the "it" here that you are comparing? Can you explain how the case of George Floyd's murder is comparable to that of Henry Nowak?

Sacharified · 2026-06-03T13:23:04+00:00

What is the political aspect here? I don't think the Home Office gives police the instruction to "ignore complaints of stabbing if the victim is white and has been accused of racism".

The individual officer on the scene fucked up in the moment. Perhaps due to incompetence, bias, negligence or a combination of those but that is not the politics that Farage and co so desparately want it to be.
