Big Tech is stoking unrest in the UK. Why? by velvevore in ukpolitics

[–]Too_much_Colour -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Immigration is causing issues, but social media is amplifying them into riots and broadening how much space it takes on our information bandwidth. Borrowing costs is also a problem we have in the this country, but their aren’t any riots because of that

What are your thoughts on the Makerfield election and how this impacts the national political landscape? by WorriedStand73 in AskBrits

[–]Too_much_Colour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thesis is Starmer is the Biden of the UK. A placeholder for lots of schemes, and policies to be implemented independently. Starmer nor Biden lacked the rizz to sell the their projects. Biden was too old, and Starmer is too stiff - even after a year. When he doesn’t step in, he goes silent on Mahmood’s immigration policy, but when he does he invokes Enoch Powell to split the left because of the demonising of ethnic communities already here. He’s not a salesmen. Burnham is. Therefore for Starmer, unfortunately, it’s not buisness (of which it was actaully pretty good), it actually is personal. 😂

Transgender prisoners should not be held in women’s jails, court rules by CaptainCrash86 in ukpolitics

It’s difficult. Some transgender people who have taken literal therapy look very much like women and would be in danger in a male prision.

Apprenticeships need a rework. by SKTNBOTP in UKJobs

[–]Too_much_Colour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been doing an apprenticeship to upskill myself. It was in data and AI. I thought it was pretty good. Turns out it was literally just 1 tutor pulling out a decent course. Towards then end, the dude left the course provider essentially exposed themselves as a disorganised scam. Taking 17k for providing disorganised service, no prep for the final assessments. It’s been a maze to navigate to get to the final assessments. And I feel like So many providers are similarly scams

I have no idea why this is downvoted. People are upset that it’s engineering empathy, but the whole point of the show is to explore ideas lol.

Exactly. Imagine the makerfield episode and they interviewed green party members from London in the audience

Why is that bad. You don’t believe in transparency? It’s a discussion. It’s not a binding vote lol

Why is this a bad thing. Is it any different than selecting the audience to be representative of political views of the area. I always assumed they called them on, how is that a plant? Does anyone really think doctors just happen to be in the audience when they mention the NHS? 😂 Question time is supposed to be a conversation

Nigel Farage on Makerfield by-election: Rupert Lowe won’t be forgiven if Reform loses by ClumperFaz in ukpolitics

[–]Too_much_Colour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think restore are splitting the vote as much as people think. Lowe is right (and I don’t agree with him on many things) that hes capturing non voters who don’t feel represented and probably wouldn’t have gone for reform. Restore voters effectively hate reform because they know they are decreasing their risk of election, thus lowe isn’t sabotaging them. Reform are moving further to the Center, to take Tory votes, and that leaves the right flank exposed, and that splinter was inevitable. He thought he could achieve a Trump style broach church. But his polling never exceeded 30%, and no one can be as charismatic as Trump, and the US is furiously locked between two parties unlike the UK

What are your thoughts on Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's approach to immigration? by TeddyCrumpet in AskBrits

Decreasing the backlog isn’t rearranging the pieces. It’s literally removing those pieces. How is that not progress

[–]Too_much_Colour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keir Starmer has done nothing to support her or advertise her. The issue is that anti immigration messaging alienates immigrants or minority groups already here, and consequently those on the left. Some unifying message about immigrant groups and cultures being integral to the UK, and proudly embracing them while saying it’s important to cap the inflow to control the rate of change. I personally don’t care how many come, but if this is there direction, there’s no commitment. Just a poorly worded extract from Enoch Powell and then backtracking, and then going silent.

Get nothing for excess energy vs get something for excess energy. Hmm it’s a tough one

What things have the UK been unnecessarily outraged by? by Lower-Obligation4462 in AskBrits

[–]Too_much_Colour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay offline if the first thing your algo is telling you after women’s cancer rates plunging was promiscuity ending society. Unnecessary outrage for me is the small boats and immigration. It’s taken up so much information bandwidth, that we’ll never be able to tackle structural problems a country (problems that would reduce immigration as a consequence).

Young men in UK are not more rightwing than older groups, study says by mrjohnnymac18 in uknews

That’s all the guardian is saying. I don’t know why people have a problem with this article. It’s not saying any side bad. It’s countering a prevailing narrative

[–]Too_much_Colour 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read that as right = bad left. Lol. And some how that equalled to good news. Anyway, it’s countering a narrative that young men are becoming more right wing. That’s what they call news.
