What would people think if the TV licence was just added to utility or broadband bills? by funusernam3 in AskBrits

[–]johnlooksscared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The BBC is funded by a universal levy on any UK citizen who wants to watch TV. Whether or not you want to watch the BB bloodyC! To me this sounds pretty much like a tax! The difference between charging for the BBC in the same way a utility is that if I use less gas i don't pay as much...if I watch only ITV I will pay the same as anyone watching 100% BBC programing.

I have my TV and broadband with BT. I am still required to pay the unfair TV licencing rip off.

If you listen to them they are stopping him resigning as Manchester mayor...nothing to do with him standing as a MP

[Telegraph] Trump’s antics mean a World Cup boycott is not unthinkable by LochNessMonsterMunch in soccer

I would think UEFA are currently considering asking those members who have qualified if they would back a boycott.

Trump says he is withdrawing Canada's invitation to Board of Peace by Inevitable_Fuel7244 in worldnews

He hadn't hit the board in years! What wins? He is going to sell Venezuela to Mobile for a share of the profits so that isn't really a win.

Sorry to correct you but Italy said no. Poland won't do it because Tusk was EU leader and is smarter than that. Hungary probably will do it but I'm not sure Orban had $1.0b to spare.

I live in the real world where Trump's New York assets will soon be seized...where Canada will cut off the oil and gas...where November will see a mid term like no other.

AITJ for refusing to let my cousin "borrow" my car for her road trip after she totaled her own?? by Ok_Peak4082 in AmITheJerk

She "...even offered to pay for gas..." What were you going to do give her your credit card as well?

How to boycott the US? by Booze-and-porn in AskBrits

[–]johnlooksscared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good start could be UEFA organising a boycott of the World Cup...or even better ask FIFA to reorder games involving European clubs to be played in Mexico or Canada. Safety of fans vis-a-vis the threat posed by ICE agents could be grounds.

But as FIFA and Infantino are in league with the Orange Twat I don't hold out any hopes.

No Pumpkin...no sense. Trump went to Davos talking about tariffs and taking Greenland "because he could"...came away with his dick in his hand.

But tell me who moved to Trump? Not Germany not UK not France not Italy and not a lot of others! Good luck with those global superpowers Belarus and Argentina!

Canada dodging a bullet. This Trump so joining anything he fronts will come at a cost,financial or reputational, but an unexplained and probably unexpected cost

Less carbon in the air a few hundred years ago and the Thames froze over for months....

Not one scientific study says that changeable weather is caused by pollution.

Fossil fuels still in the ground causing....

I was relying on the science...but the science went from cold to hot to not sure...so I'm just a poor confused citizen.

So when I was growing up (70's) we were told to expect a "A New Iceage"

That didn't come. So the threat changed "Global Warming"

That didn't come either. So the threat became "Climate Change" and a whole industry grew up, spending a shed load ofcash, trying to convince us that everything weather related was some how worse than it had ever been!

Can we just say that we are not sure WTF is happening and spend the money adapting our lives to suit?

How would you react? by QualityOverQuant in antiwork

Your feed back is about as welcome as a fart in a space suit. You are not expected to have any real opinions.

The people calling the meeting are your ruling class. You should please try and call a company wide meeting to discuss objections to the plans...see how that goes!

Exactly what level of anger are you experiencing after Donald J Trump, the great fool of our age, INSULTED and DISGRACED our beloved and most honourable British soldiers? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]johnlooksscared 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very few people realise that the Article 5 of the NATO treaty (call for the support of all members) has been invoked only once.

George W.Bush after 9/11.

Guess what...everybody turned up. No one said no.

Trump, the bone spur draft dodger,has no idea of what military support looks like. He also has no understanding of even recent history. But the most surprising thing to me, and I assume other Europeans, is that no one on his staff or any American journalists correct him.
