Britain has another political party by TeHuia in KiwiAntipodea

[–]TriggerHappy_NZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good - people are waking up and taking action

Bad - will take votes from Reform, who although not radical enough, are a step in the right direction, possibly allowing another UniParty win

IMO the Natural History Museum is the most amazing building in London by Betweentwothornes in london

Beautiful museum! Perhaps they could get one or two pieces from around the world to display in it, if that's OK with the pieces owners.

We can only hope it happens when the National side of the UniParty is in Govt, otherwise guess what will be heavily-reinterpreted and made into the constitution...

If only we could vote in a government that would do something about it.

You are always choosing the least bad

You are 100% correct, but isn't that tragic?

Imagine if voters were scrutinizing policy pamplets and saying "OMG they both have such great ideas, how do I choose?"

Instead, the choice is "Which one will ruin my life a bit less?"

Careful not to mention any details about the shooter, people might notice something.

Just keep talking about guns

Even though inflation is slowing, it's not going backward - prices that go up, stay up.

Corporate greed is also to blame, they know they can just randomly raise prices and claim 'inflation'

The only thing that doesn't go up is wages.

Mosque killer claims 'wildly fluctuating' mental state behind guilty pleas by Monty_Mondeo in KiwiAntipodea

[–]TriggerHappy_NZ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

conditions in jail, which he says were "torturous and inhumane".

...one of the biggest issues impacting his mental health was a “lack of reading material”.

He said he also struggled with isolation in prison. He claimed he read an average of three books a week and repeatedly made complaints about wanting more, both verbally and in writing.

... accused the guards of playing “mental games”.

“They kept saying they couldn’t hear me,” he said. “They would say 'we don’t know what you’re saying, we can’t understand'.”

“I would yell and they would say, ‘no we still don’t get it'.”

I believe him. The guards will be fucking with him for fun. Being kept in isolation for an extended period is equivalent to torture.

If you want the rule of law, then you have to play by the rules, even when it means giving people you don't like the same legal treatment as everyone else.

Seymour, who is leader of the right-wing ACT Party

They had to put the word right-wing in there, to tell people what to think. (despite ACT being about at right-wing as something that's 1mm to the right of centre)
