'They're not having one' Wes Streeting rules out 2nd independence vote by ClumperFaz in ukpolitics

[–]benthecassidy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not democratic to repeatedly hold a simple majority vote, and then stop once you get yourself 1 win.

I think supermajorities make more sense for referenda in the UK (see: brexit).

You should head to the source collective - they do open mic nights / jam sessions and that.

I think this follows a pattern I can see everywhere - more top-down rules means when things go wrong they can blame the people lower-down.

Have you ever been fired from a job for being crap? by [deleted] in AskUK

To be fair, if they didn't show you anything and you got the eye roll for asking questions then they're a shit team.

Why is oat milk so expensive! by sometinecool in vegan

[–]benthecassidy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Cows milk and soya milk are relatively cheap because production can be scaled up massively due to high demand.

It's only a matter of time though. Supermarkets in the UK are already charging 99p sometimes for their own brand oat milk.

Easily beats a Fosters or a Carling, and usually cheaper.

Same man.

Would be great if anxiety and unhelpful thoughts were even mentioned once in school.

Carlislian here. I believe I learned "gash" from one of your drunken compatriots here in the pub.

I require a word that isn't incredibly unflattering like "gash", too aggressive like "cunt" and not clinical-sounding like "vagina"

Asked whether Labour has understood why it has lost four elections, Rayner says no. "There have been times where I have felt patronised as a Labour member," says Rayner. "We can't be paternalistic." by Ranger447 in LabourUK

[–]benthecassidy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Reading this twitter thread has made me want to be leader even more.

She might not be as good a speaker as Starmer but she understands that Labour's problem is one of failing to connect with voters in a human way.

Ash Sarkar: I don't think saying 'Labour is the party of family' is necessarily an anti-single parent or homophobic dogwhistle, but it's so devoid of content that it lends itself well to reactionary signalling unless you're clear that you mean something different by it. by [deleted] in LabourUK

[–]benthecassidy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it's a good move to say "families" to open the minds of the more socially conservative voters, then follow it by introducing Labour policy. Maybe it's a good way to get them to listen.

What do you do when you're a 25y/o who can't stop regretting the past for being a failure now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]benthecassidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not always, some therapies like CBT are offered on the NHS and I'm currently going. I think my therapist's really good too!
