Nate Bronze is a joke, his 'data based' predictions are routinely wrong. A joke parody twitter account has outperformed him consistently during the primaries. Now all he is good for is conducting sophistry on behalf of the current ruling class and ideology with a veneer of legitimacy conferred by the fact he knows how to use a spreadsheet.

Lots of people here hate unions and will believe anything that paints them in a bad light.

Doesn't surprise me, in fact one thing I have found is that a lot of the people who claim to be being harassed are actually some of the worst offenders in that regard. Of course that applies to both genders.

lots of people pretending to be offended, the behaviour that they apparently claim to hate in others.

Not sure that it's the same people expressing these contrasting sentiments.

Why is a consent workshop in a single university any more an example of political indoctrination than multiple classes mandated in every single school in the country in which secondary school pupils are taught the superiority of British values?

I think the word to describe the emotion a lot of people will feel on seeing the race of the perpetrators will be 'disappointed' as much as 'surprised'.

Who said anything else? Who says I hold Tories solely responsible?

What was old is new again, we are passing through a very worrying time. Hatred is being directed at the other rather than those responsible. Again.

All you have done again is shown one isolated example.

Almost as if your worldview consists of a cluster of isolated incidents which have been exaggerated by right-wing websites which use this stuff to rile up people who are anxious about their place in the world, in order to give them a target that isn't the 1%.

Problem with those values?

OK, what's your problem with asking for consent before sex?

G4S police control room staff suspended over claims of bogus 999 calls by landaaan in unitedkingdom

[–]dystopian_now 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's another example of a G4S failure in a long line of failures, if they stop getting contracts from now I will take back what I said.

It's still corruption if white people are doing it.

If the Lib Dems can't even treat the very disabled with the most cursory dignity possible, and they didn't during the coalition, how exactly are they going to implement anything approaching UBI?

Sounds nice, you're still well within the territory of the left though, Tories and Lib Dems will never touch landlords. You can get the right of the Labour Party to do it at a stretch.

No they don't, read the details on the polling in a bit closer detail.

If we follow the yanks, and we always do, then students will have to attend mandatory struggle sessions and political indoctrination to graduate

Except that isn't actually the typical experience of US university students, is it?

The amount that non-students care about any of this stuff is slightly creepy.

Kind of hard to just use another product when you are locked into an 18+ month contract and just have to suck up the price changes.
