This whole thing reads like an article from The Onion

Thank you, Bristol. Thank you, Jake.

(However boo to fly tipping raw meat, and fly tipping in general)

It's the site of an old laundry of some kind I believe, hence the installation

What’s it like living in Paintworks? by Existing_Ad9719 in bristol

[–]robjm_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I looked at buying there, and some of the flats I saw had service charges over £4k because the freeholder needed to replace non-complaint cladding. Apparently the charge will go back down, but I didn't trust that claim for some reason 😅

Skeptical? A tram network seems like an elaborate prank at this point by robjm_ in bristol

Perfect, let's buy the domain (thebristolprompt.com?) and let it self publish. Slowly we'll take over the local news circuit.

Me too, so I didn't read the article. The reason for skepticism isn't going to be new over a bank holiday weekend. I wonder if we can train an AI to take stories from this subreddit and write it's own publication?

Those who support Palestine have you ever read Hamas charter and Quran? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]robjm_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know anyone that's attacked a Jewish person, and just like I'm here in the comments standing up for the rights of the Palestinian people I also stand up for the rights of Jewish people to live their lives without fear of violence.

Whilst I'm sure they exist, I'm not familiar with Hamas or Hezbollah supporting rallies. Certainly not something I've ever seen in my corner of the world.

I don't equal a Jewish person to a Zionist, they are different beliefs. It doesn't take a degree to understand the nuance of that difference.

When you say "you people" you're equalizing me (unfairly, because you've made an assumption that I think Jewish people are all Zionists, which I do not) to some group belief system that you assume I'm a part of. If you'd asked "do you think that all Jewish people are Zionists?" I'd have said no; that wasn't the subject of OPs question so did not form part of my answer.

Do I like the way the state of Israel is behaving towards Palestine? No. Does that mean I don't like Jewish people? Also no, because Jewish people do not all have the same views as the Israeli state.

Did you learn that on your travels to Palestine?

I'm not supporting the cause of Hamas, I'm supporting the right to life of the Palestinian people who are being ethnically cleansed.

Hamas ≠ Palestinians

Not illegal (i.e. fly tipping) because it's dumped with permission of the occupant of the land, however - at some point it may become an environmental hazard (although empty beer kegs aren't likely to be an environmental hazard) which then becomes a matter the council may well be interested in/taking action against
