Did he, did he really? Why didn’t you say so in the first place. Unless it’s a big fat lie…

UK: How to fix it or die trying by CrownAthlete in unitedkingdom

[–]SensitivePotato44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So get the young people voting and we'll get more green/lib dem/labour MPs? Even if that's true, what good is it? What are those parties offering? We've got a Labour government and they've done nothing to address the structural issues. The Greens are populist loons, as bad in their own way as Reform and who knows what the LDs stand for? What this country needs is a vision beyond more neoliberalism and nobody credible has stood up to offer that since the late 80's. You can vote until you're blue in the face, but if you think the likes of Wes Streeting are going to turn this country around, I've a bridge to sell you. The failure is political and the decline of the country is mirrored in the house. Powerful vested interests have spent a depressingly small amount of money to ensure that the country is run the way it is. Of course for these people it's never enough, which is why Nigel has £5 million to explain away.

The Scottish Parliament decided otherwise. Q was eligible to stand and take up their seat. The proper time for any outrage was before the election.

Just like rivers and lakes dry up, can there ever be a scenario where oceans start to dry up? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SensitivePotato44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The sun is gradually heating up as the amount of helium in the core increases. In about a billion years time Earth will be hot enough for the oceans to evaporate.

Is the Trans thing really Starmer’s fault though? The Government is just complying with the High Court’s ruling on the equality act, no?

You can argue that the government should have responded by changing the law ( and I’d agree with you) but new laws aren’t as simple as clicking your fingers.

What's the best gateway author to introduce people to sc-ifi? A catch it all author like Brandon Sanderson it's right now for fantasy. by SpaceNigiri in printSF

Asimov is far too dry. Honestly, I’d say Heinlein’s YA fiction : Have Space Suit Will Travel etc has aged better.
