- Comment on NHS ordered to share patient data with US ‘spy-tech’ firm 2 weeks ago:
The company’s founder, Peter Thiel, donated $1.25m to Donald Trump’s election campaign.
Thiel, like Musk, supported Trump for one reason: to further his business interests. Thiel is just less loud mouthy about it and hasn’t (yet) fallen out with Trump. This is what Keir Starters means when he says he’s negotiated a “trade deal” with the US. He has signed your data away to Palantir. This isn’t going to be reversed. There’s nothing the UK can do about it now and Keir doesn’t want to upset Donald more than he already has.

- Comment on Transgender girls told to leave Girlguiding groups by September 2 weeks ago:
There’s (slightly) more context in the linked article. Basically they want to exclude boys because they’re called the Girl Guides. They can only do that lawfully under the Equality Act that recently said this was only designed to cover what you were born as. At least that’s their logic.
I don’t understand why they can’t ignore that unless they’re being pressured by people who hate trans people on a threat of being sued? Not very clear from the reporting.

Yikes ESTAS are now in pretty much every country as a secondary income source 😞.
- Comment on The UK doesn't want to force you to have a digital ID — but a 'trust me bro' approach won't make the cut 2 weeks ago:
“Show me your papers” aught to be so anti-British that any goverment officals promoting digital IDs are leaning over the line of being traitors.
Ought.
Also the British were the first to “show me your papers”. Except it was “what’s your name boyeeee”.
- Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon 3 weeks ago:
The difference is that European countries regularly proselytise how open and kind they are and how they respect the rule of law and international human rights. Pakistan / Saudi Arabia doesn’t 😄.
Everyone is complicit.
Yes. They are. But Europe should take a lead in this if I am honest. Leas by example that if you genocide people you can’t do business here.
But that’s not going to happen.
- Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon 3 weeks ago:
Fair. But if any bloc in the world can do it it’s the European Union. But their members don’t give a shit otherwise they would have by now.
The fact is no one in Europe cares about it. Years, decades, of weasel words and inaction. Years of illegal occupation and ifnoryof UN mandates. Years of on going genocide. But the people dying aren’t white Europeans… oh well too bad for them I suppose?
- Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon 3 weeks ago:
Sanction Israel for genocide for a start. Cut off diplomatic economic educational and financial ties with them. Like the world did with South Africa.
But Europe doesn’t give a fuck about genocide unless it’s on their soil.
- Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon 3 weeks ago:
They’re covering it here in Europe it’s on the news regularly. The problem is that nobody cares in Europe to do anything.

- Comment on Weight-loss drugs alone will not solve UK’s obesity crisis, says Chris Whitty 4 weeks ago:
The thing is, weight loss should be about learning and easing yourself into the habits of 1. Healthy Eating 2. Adequate Exercise 3. Not sitting on your arse all day, hence I feel like giving people a hack to skip all that grind is not good - you avoid learning about how to take care of yourself in the process.
Whilst true, for a lot of people they have no will power or ability to change their habits of a lifetime without drug based stimuli. So it is to cater for them. Otherwise the NHS cost burden is simply far too high over the long run.
