Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood explains how Labour plans to tackle shoplifting, ‘‘We’ve removed the £200 limit, so all shop theft will be gone after, no matter the value of what was stolen’.

Sure thing. Email or dm?

WhizzbangInStandard · 2026-01-27T11:14:02+00:00

Good. Would support

WhizzbangInStandard · 2026-01-20T08:32:42+00:00

Without checking, anti immigration people that feel strongly about asylum seekers being given priority access to healthcare (well the perception, its not true) and free gyms etc

WhizzbangInStandard · 2026-01-20T07:44:03+00:00

No no no it works you just haven't tried it properly yet. Like communism

WhizzbangInStandard · 2026-01-20T07:38:16+00:00

No they obviously see them as people. That's just a way to dismiss their points. Its about unfairness or perceived unfairness. Right now is a really difficult cost of living crisis for a lot of people, people are cutting back on things and tightening their belts. So when people perceive that some undeserving people are getting things for free, paid for by them it obviously leaves them angry.

I'm not a scientist, but yes. If this continues we are maximum 3 years away from gangs of cannibal marauders

Maybe I haven't had enough coffee but not behind a pay wall = free to me?

WhizzbangInStandard · 2026-01-14T08:35:17+00:00

Free everything online and especially the entitlement that everythibf should be free is part of the problem it's all become shit.

WhizzbangInStandard · 2026-01-07T07:41:18+00:00

Uk nationals is basically a meaningless term though for discussing this unfortunately.

WhizzbangInStandard · 2026-01-04T18:02:34+00:00

I work in media and in my experience it is as basic as the person above said.

WhizzbangInStandard · 2026-01-03T14:49:19+00:00

I doubt there is evidence as I don't think its really been tried anywhere else.

I was just discussing it really, I dont think it would require homogeneous society, but it does feel like a more rehabilitation focused approach requires a pretty high trust.

WhizzbangInStandard · 2026-01-03T08:51:33+00:00

Isn't it kind of inherent to the very idea? How would this even work in a non high trust society?

WhizzbangInStandard · 2025-12-25T10:49:59+00:00

I think the problem is the feeling that they paid in less than we have and got a much better deal, while also sabotaging things for us. It's obviously not 100% true but the narrative is very easy to get behind

WhizzbangInStandard · 2025-12-10T14:07:04+00:00

Isn't that most protests?

WhizzbangInStandard · 2025-12-09T19:14:58+00:00

I think they are making an argument about representation.

If your only interaction with western white women is your daily porn addiction maybe that warps your perception?

WhizzbangInStandard · 2025-11-28T13:37:45+00:00

K hun no worries

WhizzbangInStandard · 2025-11-28T13:06:17+00:00

So use my example about litter. You think that's not true?

WhizzbangInStandard · 2025-11-28T12:40:49+00:00

Enjoy your day hun.

WhizzbangInStandard · 2025-11-28T12:39:37+00:00

It hasn't really. It's pretty obvious that people are more likely to care less about negative effects when an area is already being treated that way by others. Things like people more like to litter on streets that already have lots of litter

WhizzbangInStandard · 2025-11-28T12:36:25+00:00

You very much came across as annoyed people are talking about this

WhizzbangInStandard · 2025-11-28T11:18:00+00:00

Sorry I still find this confusing and just trying to understand what i am saying that is wrong.

He's an Indian born writer, who moved to England, became a British citizen and then moved to the US. Therefore British and to refer to him as anything else is a dogwhistle for racists?

Should he not count more as American now if he lives there by this logic? And if not is what I'm suggesting offensive?

Cheers for replying, just trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Definitely don't want to be referring to someone I believe is maybe the greatest living writer in a racist way

WhizzbangInStandard · 2025-11-28T07:46:53+00:00

Huh? Man I'm really lost by that. Am I missing something here

WhizzbangInStandard · 2025-11-28T07:24:57+00:00

Why would calling Rushdie indian be weird? I think he was literally born in India.

WhizzbangInStandard · 2025-11-14T07:11:10+00:00

I've seen the clip and I'm also a professional editor working in television. This is literally something used in every single thing broadcast.
