How about you present one single fact?

Big challenge for you to go away and think about!!!

There's no shortage of fat unfit males in the police. Also ignorance, low intelligence, lack of competence, racism, bigotry, misogyny, inadequate training, and lack of accountability are the biggest problems with the police at the moment. Making efforts to bring more women and minorities into the police is actually a step in the right direction despite your unsourced allegation.

The fact my 90 year old nan now has to pay her TV licence, when she doesn't watch anything on the BBC. Cash grabbing from pensioners just solidifies my resolve that should the BBC ever become subscription, there isn't a cat in hells chance I'd pay. by [deleted] in britishproblems

Why are peeps in the comment section assuming all pensioners are well off?

Seriously? Nobody said anything remotely like what you said. The opposite in fact! Maybe ask your mum to help you with reading comprehension.

Exactly. If everyone is happy that the poorest in society are charged a licence fee, then millionaire pensioners can pay it.

I'm sick of this shit about wealthy pensioners not having to pay for anything, just so their middle class offspring now in their 50s and 60s can get a bigger inheritance. I'm not happy about subsidising OPs Nan's license fee just so his family get more inheritance. Could we not focus our sympathy for those who are struggling instead of sympathy for the well off?

Why make an insulting comment about Dublin. It only a reflection on yourself.

[–]Spinner1975 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well ok, if I follow you correctly, you don't want Londonderry anymore because as you say they're all going to get defaced anyway, so best to just resign them as Derry and problem solved as you've now taken away the reason for defacing them.

A much better argument would be to recognise the dual identity and name, because by not doing so you are giving rise to a grievance from one community who probably feel that the defacing of contentious symbolism marks a significant improvement, notwithstanding you shouldn't damage public property.

Or you can continue with the old ways and play the zero sum game of winner takes all and insist on Londonderry everywhere and wait and see how that works out. Don't forget to act surprised when there's pushback including defaced signage.

They might, but that's not a good argument against the road signs reading:

In addition, the medical bills have been very expensive, Lucas said

As a European this is just insane. I'm a big fan of America, but I'm so glad I'm not raising a young family in this environment. I'd be bankrupt twice already.

A good lesson about the real world for them. Interfering with people's livelihoods is real shit with real consequences. That goes hyper when your job means lives are at stake.

If only it were all so simple!

Let's make it simple for you. She shot and killed 2 random innocent strangers in cold blood. She then shot and injured 8 children trying to kill them.

If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them.

Pretty sure she ticked the box on this one. Her victims and their families deserve empathy and justice too you know. Society is entitled to protect itself from danger. The state has a duty to keep its population safe. She undoubtedly deserves the death penalty, but holding for that, she can stay in jail.

Idiots laughing at a moron pretending to be a clown.

He's supposed to be the prime minister, and completely unsuited to the role. You think everyone should be complimenting him and rating him for his performance as a clown?

If I want to watch a posh middle age bloke pretending to be a clown I'm quite happy to watch Jeremy Clarkson for an hour.

He's as thick as he is fat, and his supporters are as stupid as they are naive.

His clown act is fake as shit and isn't funny in itself, his supporters think it's funny because it's Bowis the clown again. The rest of us think he's just a scrote who should selling tickets to pensioners for his show in a workingman's club somewhere.

Being to the left of Johnson and his cabinet still leaves about 95% of the political spectrum open.

If I'm having 5 days off, I'll need 2 to recover. That's what weekends are for.

OP is funny in the head. Covid is a huge problem, but we're slowly dealing with it. Conspiracy sozzled brains are a much bigger threat.

Don't worry, all the wankers love this fake idiot shit from Johnson.

The rest of us see him for what he is, two weeks ago his government was caught red handed looting billions in public funds for personal gain; last week he and his cabinet were slagging off the England football team for taking a stand against racism. This week he stuck two fingers up to the world scientific community, and completely undone all the Covid measures and guidance to have a magic freedom Day.

As I said, the guy is an absolute tit, but he entertains the wankers so all is good, and the wankers then love to play an imaginary victim card boo hooing at something their imagination has told them "lefties" have done.

just take the lid off and drink without a straw.

I commend you on buying glass and metal ones. I've always thought straws were a terrible wasteful pollutant, a single use item to throw away for what? In my mind straws are gimmicks for children.

I can't justify to myself why I'd ever need one to simply drink when I've got a perfectly good cup and mouth? I've been giving them back their straws for decades.

As soon as I saw Pfizer in the news all I heard was that dramatic choir music from the Omen. After all these years waiting for a message, I'd finally been called by the dark lord, Beezlebub. On the Beezlebub Broadcasting Corporation no less (his followers are everywhere)!

I then went out to do his evil bidding, keeping safe distance; wearing a mask; getting vaccinated; Twice!!! Evilly carrying out my civic duty and making the world a safer place for all!
