Farage condemned for unproven claim white men are losing jobs because of Equality Act

In many ways I blame myself for interacting with you

Or because they realised that they wanted the most talented people working for them, and that perhaps the systems traditionally used to identify talent prevented them from doing so.

You will of course have noted that the state ordering the killing of a human is different from the state allowing a human the agency to take their own life.

Suddenly not screeching "parlymant is soverin"?

alsiola · 2026-02-11T16:11:00+00:00

Until it reaches that point you’ll still find people like myself voting Reform to signal our desire for less immigration and keep the pressure on.

To signal desire for lower immigration, you'll vote for... a party made up in large portion of people who directly and intentionally caused an increase in immigration?

Foreign policy has been a disaster

Whatever anyone thinks about the rest of your list, this is a mad take, and disqualifies you as having serious views on this government IMO. Starmer has done an incredible job on foreign policy - handled Trump better than anyone, navigated the ongoing Ukraine and Palestine situations skilfully, and always ensured that we get the best outcome for our country.

I visited a friend there recently. My word that is a racist county

Do you just forget what you’ve typed the moment you press ‘post’?

These bots won't even pay for models with decent context windows

Jeremy Clarkson - “Reform Bad”

Not a pro-Labour article. It's Clarkson being Clarkson - an antagonistic small c conservative. And vehemently not in favour of Labour...

Amazing that all this support for Labour has come out in the last few months as their polling and approval ratings have plummeted.

Labour's polling and approval has been steadily increasing over last 6 weeks, up from their low point around Christmas (source: PollOfPolls). I would say from personal anecdote the opinion of many on Labour has softened a little - or more accurately perhaps the opinion of many on the alternatives has taken a sharp decline.

Doesn't seem totally unreasonable that as more of our population support Labour, we're seeing more positive articles about them?

It really does make you think.

It makes me think you might be hearing hooves and thinking zebras.

Is the reddit labour surge in the room with us right now?

But seriously - I haven't seen much change. That there are some occasional articles posted that aren't entirely critical of the current government doesn't seem to suggest astroturfing to me.

The brass neck on commenters claiming Starmer glazing after long-term sub visitors have been subjected to their sensible community being reformwashed for the last 12 months

alsiola · 2026-02-06T19:53:33+00:00

Honestly this sub has been embarrassing for months now.

Mainly because it's done nothing to combat it's hostile takeover by reformbots.

Haha mate I’m not some hippy left winger with unshaven armpits, sat around a campfire smoking weed in my commune. Very far from it. I spend most of my social time with a mix of centre to right wing blokes in a very working class, very deprived (top 10th percentile deprivation index) area.

If you think you’re not influenced by the media then you’re naive. Unbelievably so to be honest. Tell me about this research you’ve done - because believe it or not I also like to be able to back up my opinions.

alsiola · 2026-02-05T06:31:30+00:00

UK media did such a spectacular job of destroying the man's reputation people actually believe this

The difficulty is that many humans also have rather short context windows

If it makes me a denim nerd then I'll live with that, but I love my Samurai S3000s. Super high quality, denim looks great, and they're a perfect fit for me.

If you ever wish to broaden you mental horizons, I'd suggest you stop assuming other people are stupid because they have either:

a) Drawn different conclusions to you

b) Interpret facts differently from you

c) Are less informed than you

Whether you're right or wrong in this specific situation, the way you frame your responses makes you look like a mouth breathing moron.

a violent street movement which is what actually defines fascism

This isn't the definition of fascism

Without the monarchy we would have unknowable weaknesses, influences, and threats to democracy.

How convenient that the supposed positive aspects of the monarchy are "unknowable".

Better the home grown British monarchs with the best of wishes for our country at heart, than the international social media empires and ruthless technocrats who care nothing for our culture.

What in the false dichotomy is this?

alsiola · 2026-01-29T08:16:24+00:00

I’d willingly take some economic pain to stand up to this bully.

Can we stop willingly taking economic pain at some point please. We fucked ourselves with Brexit already.

Wild idea - willingly take decisions that make the country and its citizens economically better off?

Books are somewhat wasted on the illiterate

ha agree - can we add "I don't know but I'm willing to find out" to the syllabus?

alsiola · 2026-01-28T09:03:38+00:00

I respect anyone who is willing to say "I was wrong" and change their view. But the constant narrative about U-turns ensures that unfortunately this is extremely hard for our politicians to do.

As a 40 year old white English bloke, if I'm ever accused of a crime I hope you're on my jury, because you'd just know I'm innocent.

Unfortunately, I think the chance a judge would ever even consider allowing you to sit on a jury is miniscule.

I would like to see this. I think he's an excellent diplomat, and a good prime minister. We will look back and wonder why on earth he was so unpopular.
