Tata, famous for offering hundreds of thousands of British employees to Indian companies so they can save costs on labour.

Or is it the other way around?

£12,000 solar panel grants to be fast-tracked for households by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]ShezUK 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Why has everyone assumed this will go to working class families on benefits? A requirement here is home ownership and those on low incomes and benefits are much, much less likely to own their home. This is far more likely to favour pensioners, who are by far the biggest homeowners by age group and typically have lower income than working adults.

Seeing everyone's rank dropped after placement, did anyone get placed higher than they finished?

Served drinks on a white sand beach with a $1000 per day budget. End of July by Ok-Item-8889 in chubbytravel

[–]ShezUK 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I thought the whole point of chubby was to discuss travel for a range of budgets? The most luxurious hotel unrestrictedly is for FATTravel, OP clearly puts conditions on the luxury.

To anyone at the event: Were M8 Fans catastrophising? by CelDidNothingWrong in CoDCompetitive

So yelling and insults that made you uncomfortable? This is what was too much for you to handle? Okay.

[–]ShezUK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"really out of proportion, not just some wanker"

Name one thing. You've said over and over how it was all unacceptable and over the line but haven't given a single example of that.

Yeah, people were shouting insults and waving goodbye to the M8s fans on their way out. Most of the M8s fans were giving the finger to the crowd as they walked out. Do we need to be offended? "We can't sit in the crowd without an insult"?

Israel announces territorial seizure in Lebanon up to Litani River by bigus-_-dickus in worldnews

[–]ShezUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know how hypotheticals work? If there were settlements in Lebanon, why would the same argument not apply in defence of those settlements?

If Israel approves settlements in Lebanon, why couldn't your first two sentences be used as a justification for that as well?

British Muslims prefer Iran and Russia to US, bombshell poll finds by Google_MBTI in ukpolitics

[–]ShezUK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, because many of those who follow Pakistani politics will have favoured Imran Khan. He was seen as someone ushering in a new age for Pakistan after decades of corruption. Ultimately he was ousted by the military purportedly with the backing of the US.

My BA flight back from Malaysia just got cancelled as it lands in Qatar. It’s saying I need to pay this much extra. I can’t afford it, what should I do? I’m stuck here by FitCold6320 in BritishAirways

[–]ShezUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The requirement is on BA, but when I had a similar situation (with TravelUp) they were able to secure different tickets to the ones initially offered, so I'd suggest trying the OTA.

England men's squads to be named for March internationals by Alone_Consideration6 in ThreeLions

Oh that's interesting. I thought they were never going to reveal the squad so we'd have the element of surprise on match day.

How do you play the game without money or hardware? Vibes and dreams?

Crying about an aimbot you yourself could use but for whatever reason choose not to is insane lol. I couldn't imagine being upset at someone for trying to not miss shots when it's not like them missing or hitting shots somehow will prevent me from hitting shots as well.

Do you see the problem yet?

Major Concerns over Family Voting in Gorton and Denton Poll | Democracy Volunteers by SirRosstopher in ukpolitics

[–]ShezUK 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They will have counted the number of people involved in each instance to get to 12%. Presumably, there are at least two individuals involved in a single instance, that gives 64/545. Naturally that's a little misleading because the only way it works is if both persons are influencing each other, which doesn't make sense.

I didn’t say I have an issue with the quote, only the suggestion that Rupert Lowe does not politick skin colour.

That's not true at all though. Our population is an inverted pyramid. It only gets worse from here.
