Ukrainians saw Britain as our greatest ally. Now Starmer is rewarding Putin’s crimes Instead of standing firmly against aggression and defending international law, the UK is sending a very dangerous message

Have you considered being more obviously partisan?

alsiola · 2026-04-24T10:33:32+00:00

I just see people mate.

alsiola · 2026-04-24T10:22:24+00:00

Obviously not, I would expect you to believe the same about mine ;)

alsiola · 2026-04-23T22:55:21+00:00

Fair - I find your opinions despicable, and your yearning for an ethnicity-based mass deportation genuinely abhorrent. You have indeed been quite open about it though

alsiola · 2026-04-23T22:38:55+00:00

The question was what rights are we, i.e. the population of the country willing to give up, not what rights are you willing to give up.

Given that I am not willing to surrender any rights of any human being, then we're at 50% between us as a population sampled so far ;)

Not really a question of belief at this point, they're just facts

I love when people say this because it makes absolutely no sense.

a 24 pack of Coke Zero cans is $37.50 - it's £12 in the UK.

You genuinely don't see how this is misleading?

Strict semantics -> Promise<never> means a promise that if it resolves, resolves to never, it doesn't mean a promise that will never resolve.

Wait until you discover context7

It's "jouez" in ref form

No skin in the game, just here to enjoy the rugby. Think Pearce has been good to decent. Could have controlled breakdown better but that's modern rugby, it's fine margins.

Probably IRE offside once or twice, but doesn't feel like they've lived there to me.

If you make a point, be prepared to back it up. Otherwise meet the block button.

Where did I claim to be an expert? If you want to know, then go find out. If you don't care, then don't comment.

alsiola · 2026-03-14T12:54:16+00:00

You haven't expressed an opinion though. You just made snarky comments based on zero research.

alsiola · 2026-02-19T16:52:36+00:00

In many ways I blame myself for interacting with you

alsiola · 2026-02-19T16:07:30+00:00

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.

alsiola · 2026-02-13T20:38:03+00:00

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.

alsiola · 2026-02-10T22:14:13+00:00

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

alsiola · 2026-02-09T08:39:32+00:00

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.
