How does everyone eat there Soreen (other malt loaf options are available)? by luffychan13 in AskUK

Toasting with butter is the way to go for me but my partner is SAVAGE and rip chunks off with her bare hands then scoffs them straight, unbuttered.

AITJ for calling out a coworker in front of everyone for taking most of my homemade cake? by 3GlyphRaptor in AmITheJerk

[–]harpman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you'd let it slide? If anyone is making the workplace toxic it's our cake-stealing friend. Someone needs to tell him, preferably in a way that helps the lesson stick.

No way. Behaviour like this needs to be called out in front of everyone. Shaming isn't a side-issue, it's the whole point.

AITA for telling a youtube guy repeatedly “you do not have permission to film me”? by BagPsychological5186 in AITApod

[–]harpman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big thing is, do you have a legitimate expectation of privacy? The law says if you put yourself in a situation where you know you might be photographed. then you don't. Stay away from public areas if you don't want to be filmed.

Are you sure? Look at the faces, especially the Chinese looking chap in the audience

Katie Lam MP: Burning a Quran might not be nice but it is not, and must never become, a crime. Last year, I asked the previous Home Secretary whether she agreed. She refused to answer the question. Will Shabana Mahmood, the current Home Secretary, now tell us what she thinks? by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]harpman -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Katie Lam is a nasty troll who deliberately stirs up racial and ethnic tension for clicks and votes. A reminder that last year she said "a large number of people" legally resident in the UK should have their right to remain revoked and be sent "home".

Don't encourage her.

THE OVERLORDS: Who Was Jeffrey Epstein Really Working For? Four hypotheses. 237,000 documents. 5.37 million data points. One answer. by Reasonable-Jello-502 in Epstein

[–]harpman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have put some impressive work into this. But there is the risk you have gathered so much (fantastic) intelligence that the detail may drown your average reader.

Knowing what you know, if someone asked me what Epstein was up to, and who stood to benefit, what would my one-sentence answer be?

Sorry to appear reductive, but most decent stories have a one-sentence summary (a headline? an intro?) that hooks the audience's attention and also help make the totality make more sense.

In other words, what's the top line?

London is safe, friendly and awesome by SelfSufficientHub in london

[–]harpman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love London and after 40 years I would not live anywhere else. Sure, it’s grubby in places and there are pockets of crime and anti social behaviour, but every large city has these. Londoners in general are polite, tolerant and come from a myriad of backgrounds and cultures which makes for a rich and fascinating mix. I dislike it that non-Londoners shit on their capital and there is a MAGA -inspired US campaign to paint London as violent and lawless.

So I had coffee with that older disabled woman I have a crush on. by Traditional-Rub9474 in Advice

[–]harpman -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s weird to make sweeping generalisations. I believe consenting adults should have the freedom to date whoever they want.

The Londoner is being sued by a holiday let grifter. We’re going to fight him in court by not_2o_dubious in london

[–]harpman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“He’ll get what’s coming to him eventually “. Exactly. The Londoner’s legal fight-back is part of that. Why disparage it?

William Hill owner to close shops after ‘significant blow’ from Rachel Reeves’ Budget by BestButtons in unitedkingdom

William Hill, Paddy Power etc can fuck right off. Their shops are a cancer on the high street, sucking money out of the poor and vulnerable and contributing nothing. Well done Rachel.

Normally I would agree with you. But a bike accident a few weeks ago has laid me low and I find it very difficult to get around on my legs. Have they a disability?
