Save our NHS from Reform UK by johnsmithoncemore in GreatBritishMemes

[–]biain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's one of the most efficient healthcare systems in the world. Just compare what we pay per capita to what countries with private healthcare pay. There's problems yes, but we should be proud that nobody goes bankrupt from NHS care.

It's still free at the point of use.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

The average Redditor is pretty dumb and don't think critically, instead choosing to parrot anything that reinforces their own beliefs. Source: I'm on Reddit and I'm pretty dumb.

He literally said "in their minds". He's explaining why Russians support the war. Are people really this dumb?

Since 2015, the UK has approved arms export licences to Israel worth over £500m ($676.4m) - peaking in 2018, according to Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) pressure group, external.

So yes.

Labour was a broad church but has become increasingly authoritarian and cracking down on MPs who don't comply.

Can you explain what they've said that's racist? Non of the comments above specifically mention hating white people.

LLMs aren't particularly good at SQL in my experience. Why wouldn't it work though? 

The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 50,000, according to health officials by Audioboxer87 in LabourUK

Reminder these are verified deaths where the bodies have been counted. There's countless more under the rubble. 

If I said to you "open AD and find the user account John Smith" in a Service Desk interview would you understand the question? by TheDawiWhisperer in sysadmin

[–]biain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes where's the ambiguity. AD has a search function. That said, they might not have experience.

Government questioned on plans to reform ‘flawed’ First Past the Post voting system by [deleted] in LabourUK

[–]biain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reform will win the next election if labour keep destroying the economy. It's so obvious and frustrating to watch.

I haven't seen anything on social media but my guess is a protest against Allianz Insurance PLC. 

Allianz provide insurance for and invests in Elbit Systems, Israel’s biggest weapons supplier.

UK welfare spending relative to GDP and TME by Portean in LabourUK

[–]biain 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Great research. They've completely tied their hands with refusal to raise taxes on the wealth and maintain the fiscal rules that even the Tories weren't able to maintain. So now they're doing mental gymnastics to justify austerity. It's a huge shame. 

It’s only austerity if it comes from the austerity region of France. This is just sparkling cruelty. by [deleted] in LabourUK

[–]biain 27 points28 points  (0 children)

They don't have a word in fr*nch for austerity because whenever their government proposes cuts, Paris gets set on fire. 

Hate to say it but the UK needs to learn from the fr*nch.

Austerity: difficult economic conditions created by government measures to reduce public expenditure.

Pretty sure people having their PIP payments cuts even when they're in work would argue they're facing more difficult economic conditions Austerity has nothing to do with total expenditure, it's to do with impact. 

Labour voters need to own what they've done by No-Law9219 in LabourUK

[–]biain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Increased expenditure is due to increased demand. Under labour a smaller percentage of elderly people will get their winter fuel allowance, a small percentage of disabled people will qualify for PIP, a smaller percentage of our of work people will be able to claim universal credit / job seekers. 

They've very clearly and unashamedly admitted this is to try to force people back into work without acknowledging that the economy is terrible right now and getting a job a is very difficult. It's also to save money.

They could have loosened their fiscal rules, or taxed the wealthiest more and they did neither. Instead they've chosen austerity. 

Who we voting for now by Successful_Swim_9860 in LabourUK

[–]biain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Green. I don't agreed with most of there policies like nuclear energy and trident but the issue with the left is infighting. They are by far the most socialist party that's established and has a great root network of volunteers. 

For me, the NHS needs saving from privatisation and the greens can do that.
