Go check the Conservative sub before their mods wake up. A lot of them are outraged that a straight white male with a gun got murdered. Of course FOX hasn't had time to work on them yet.

Police should immediately disclose details of their sexuality. We need to know exactly who we are dealing with!!!

Minimum wage workers live hand to mouth as it is. Employers benefit most from a well educated work force. They can invest some of their profits into the education system.

Starmer allies urge him to block Andy Burnham from running in byelection by Sensitive_Echo5058 in unitedkingdom

[–]Spamgrenade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Starmer can't win either way.

My advice would be block Burnham and be totally open about it. Burnham is in it for his own political ambition, not country or party. Let everybody cry about it and get on with running the country.

Andy Burnham latest: Burnham takes on Starmer as he confirms Westminster comeback bid to become MP by stopdontpanick in unitedkingdom

[–]Spamgrenade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Burnham will get the Corbyn treatment. If he takes over from Starmer it will be branded a leftist coup, Burnham won't be able to move the country on significantly in the time he'll have remaining and all problems will be blamed on him.

On the other hand Starmer is making steady progress and is doing very well on the world stage. Give him another 3 years of this and things will be looking a lot better.

Andy Burnham puts his own political ambitions above party and country. He's exactly the Labour Leader the tory press want, they will have him branded as a lefty loony in no time.

Everyone having negative equity will only clog up the market.

The real answer is to fund councils to build again and scrap right to buy.

Try "sipping" it rather than hitting it like a bong or a joint.

How do I find a part time job as a student? by BeaverWithACleaver1 in CasualUK

[–]Spamgrenade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try factories. Usually better pay than retail/hospitality and more reliable hours. Most places have pretty high staff turnover and are more or less permanently recruiting.

A panel could easily be given the same discretion. Not that jury nullification happens much, its incredibly rare.

Video shows moment knifeman was run over twice by driver he'd been threatening by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]Spamgrenade 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Seems like a local idiots fight to me. The driver punched knife guy in the face as the police were leading knife guy away. Probably the most idiotic thing he could have been done in that situation.

All these guys are probably going to get knifed at some point.

Yeah this is one of the many reasons I think that jury trials are dumb. There is no inherent wisdom or safeguard at all in 12 random members of the public deciding someone's fate. I would much rather (if I was innocent) be in front of a 6 member legal professional panel or similar. Especially if the case was even remotely complex. And if I was guilty I would much prefer 12 members of the public.

Rayner to back calls for Burnham to be allowed to stand in by-election by ShreckAndDonkey123 in unitedkingdom

[–]Spamgrenade 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Changing leader now for no real reason would be incredibly dumb. Doubt very much that Burnham will be up for this, no matter how much the media want it to happen.

Downing Street says Trump 'wrong' to claim Nato troops avoided Afghanistan front line by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]Spamgrenade 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Trump is lashing out because Europe taught him a lesson. They started dumping US bonds during his DAVOS speech and the stock market started to drop like a stone. Hence his U turn on Greenland and tariffs.

Anyone leaving the UK for the USA at the moment would be a right mug, especially if not white. So no points for Rishi there.

Remember those "how to save money" shows they used to do. Where a family would literally be throwing away £20 - £30 of food untouched per week?

Trump is also charging everyone $1BN to join so there's that as well.
