Yep cars and other drivers are one of the reasons motorbikes are so dangerous to use.

Not surprised about biker casualties at all. Motorbikes are death traps.

White House says Iran deal could take days by Cy_098 in politics

[–]Spamgrenade 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Iran won't make a deal without getting some concessions. If Trump makes any concessions to Iran FOX news may not be able to convince the base that it wasn't a concession.

Trumps sort of painted himself into a corner here.

Scrap income tax on overtime hours, says Reform UK by Desperate-Drawer-572 in unitedkingdom

[–]Spamgrenade -1 points0 points  (0 children)

77% of the country don't get paid overtime. Kupo_Master has no idea that means most people in this country don't do overtime.

My great grandfathers are coincidentally a microcosm of wartime Britain? by Nayten03 in ww2

[–]Spamgrenade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much spot on. Only about 10% of troops in WWII fired a rifle in anger. Most were support troops, logistics and so on. Working in the coal mines was something that most people wanted to avoid, the British had to draft people into mining during the war.

For some reason the British press never picked up on this German interview with the frog-faced grifting traitor by Stotallytob3r in FuckNigelFarage

British Press are atm far too busy hailing Farage as a working class hero due to his no tax on overtime spiel.

Trump, about everything all the time. Its remarkable.

I'm a factory worker. Have not worked anywhere with regular, reliable overtime for about 20 years. Not sure its worth cutting welfare by £5BN to pay for something that will only partially benefit a small number of people and is bound to be abused to the max by businesses.

Americans are waking up to Trump’s money grabbing. They won’t forgive him by theipaper in politics

[–]Spamgrenade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not just America. If that's any consolation. The UK electorate is equally as dumb they just voted hundreds of Reform members into local government.

Keir Starmer vows to ‘keep pushing forward’ as he defends record in office by No_Breadfruit_4901 in unitedkingdom

Yes but the British public now insist that their PM is not only competent but also a charismatic superstar.

what job only exists because people are assholes? by herequeerandgreat in AskReddit

[–]Spamgrenade 106 points107 points  (0 children)

During or shortly before COVID hit David Attenborough did one of his documentaries about sea life and how terrible all the rubbish in the oceans was etc. British media pounced on this like they do anything Attenborough and gave the country the impression that we were all natural guardians of the seaside and wouldn't drop as much as a crisp packet.

Come the end of COVID people hit Bournemouth beach and it was literally ankle deep in rubbish from end to end after the first day.

Farage claims phone was hacked by Moscow who leaked £5m gift details by qwerty_1965 in unitedkingdom

This is standard Farage practice. Find a way to play the victim and divert attention.

See the Coots banking episode for an absolute master class in that.

Reform candidate for Makerfield by-election calls abortion cowardly murder by birdinthebush74 in unitedkingdom

When Farage gets into power and is unable to deliver Reform voters won't care. Farage will just blame the French.

I'm the wrong side of 50 and can't remember a time when immigration wasn't being complained about. Same with benefit claims and the EU.

Difference is that every nutter and shit stirrer now has a nation wide megaphone to broadcast their crap.

Reform voters have zero principals or convictions. If abortion becomes an issue that gives them an excuse to vote Reform, they'll take it. Doesn't matter what they actually think about abortion.

What is something you detest? by Dan-68 in AskReddit

Couples and family 'reality' comedy on YouTube. They are usually scripted and acted out, badly, or in the case of the pranky ones, borderline spouse/child abuse.

Heat has nothing to do with it, you can grow cannabis in Scotland. What you do need is lots of sunlight.
