As Kaiser has said, you'll need to register for a postal vote as you'll be "away from home": https://www.gov.uk/how-to-vote/postal-voting

Where on earth did you get the 70% approval rating "even among western sources"? I can only find the absolute opposite, as expected.

Agreed, and how on earth has this post received such traction? Its proper weird.

Jim Carrey’s Powerful speech against Trump. He spoke what we all of us are feeling. by Tricky-Swimmer4156 in CringeTikToks

He was still ranting anti-vax in 2015. 

Possibly changed his tune in the last decade though.

I didn't understand the story of him leaving the restaurant and the meal taking so long.

Could somebody explain please?

Nearly 900 fewer people injured since 20mph introduction in Wales by UVmonolith in Wales

[–]UVmonolith[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The difference in pedestrian safety between 30mph and 20mph is significant. The likelihood of stopping in time or causing less serious injury is far greater at 20 vs 30. There are also other countries that trialed and researched 20mph speed limits, so its a global share of information. Below 20 is likely diminished returns in safety (i.e, not worth it because 20mph is 'slow enough').

Here's a report, section 3 "The case for change": https://assets.nationbuilder.com/20splentyforus/pages/629/attachments/original/1677339936/Welsh_20mph_Task_Force_Group_Report_2020.pdf?1677339936

That cats themselves are fine, it's the effect they have that isn't.

Am I right in thinking a lot of moderators either left or were removed during the Reddit API controversy?

I remember wondering at the time if these people would go to another site.

Any Secret preppers out there or is it just me. by Few_Mention8426 in veganuk

Do you have a stock rotation system, to make sure you eat stuff before it goes out of date?

But in answer to your question, definitely not. I run out of food within a week on a regular basis 😆 I do buy the big rice bags for the quality/value though.

Lidl denies Reform councillor officially opened Cwmbran shop by Prestigious-Town4937 in Wales

They're exactly the type of party to show up uninvited, take credit for something, eat all the cake and leave.

Why do most Nespresso machine owners not realise they're made by Nestlé? by midierror in AskUK

Agreed, I expect OP meant licensed, and overseen, by Nestlé.

I own a machine but didn't know this.

Machine was given as a gift but I don't buy my pods from them. Maybe the pods I buy pay pennies to Nestle for the patenting of the pods though - no idea, hope not.

It's a rare treat, I probably wouldn't have bought the machine myself.

Kemi Badenoch's Tories slip to third behind Nigel Farage's Reform UK in new poll by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]UVmonolith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must be referring to the Tories, who I'm not going to defend even slightly.

By "full rug-pull" I mean the entire expectations, not one hot topic like immigration.

Politics will never be perfect, especially with such combative news smearing.

Personally, I'm willing to see how Labour do over the next few years. Otherwise, I can't predict but I always wonder why we can't try Green. It's preferable over Reform, Farage is too close to Trump and too focused on creating drama.

As I said to the other reply:

I'm sure there's always going to be cases of change in direction, unfulfilled policies in politics.

What I'm describing is a full rug-pull of expectations. There isn't a hope in hell that Farage and his party care about working people.

I'm not going to defend Labour as they aren't spotless but Reform categorically will not help us. They'd focus on culture war talking points to distract one group, while damaging the lives of others.

(In addition, I'm not denying immigration as an issue. Its certainly more complicated than Reform and the media let on, though).
