- Comment on Am I a real working person? 1 week ago:
I never saw the article as anything more than a sarcastic opinion piece. They’re not calling on the chancellor to reverse the budget. They’re not pointing to business opposition. They’re not saying anything but haven’t an armchair moan in, what looks like to me, a light-hearted opinion piece.
But fair enough if others see it differently. I certainly didn’t.
- Comment on Am I a real working person? 1 week ago:
I feel… and hear me out… you’re taking this opinion piece too seriously. Read it like you’d read a Spectator article (and I very much appreciate you might read the Spectator). These are meant to be tongue in cheek. They’re not meant to be taken seriously or over analysed.
Could you imagine being this out out about the guardian opinion pieces?

- Comment on Former British colonies owe ‘debt of gratitude’, says Robert Jenrick 2 weeks ago:
I’d hope he sends the Tories further down in parliament such that the strong opposition is the Lib Dems. The Tories can language in Green or SNP territory.
- Comment on Former British colonies owe ‘debt of gratitude’, says Robert Jenrick 2 weeks ago:
Maybe within the Tory party, for sure. I can believe that. But does he not want the Conservatives to be electable in a general election scenario.
I’m not trying to be funny, but isn’t this exactly what Labour did with the Corbyn years? Appealed to what looked like a large majority of their membership that turned out to be spectacularly unpopular at a general election level.
I cannot believe the Tories want to repeat this lesson. I mean, if they want to be out of office for a decade then that’s cool with me.
- Comment on Britain will rejoin the EU within 15 years, former Brussels chief predicts 2 weeks ago:
Ancient flag shagging Tories… Hard Left Labour unions… With these powers combined they become:
CAPTAIN BREXIT! He’s their hero. Gonna bring the UK down to zero. Did a skid. Killed a kid. And crashed his balls on a dustbin lid.
- Comment on Former British colonies owe ‘debt of gratitude’, says Robert Jenrick 2 weeks ago:
To a certain extent I understand courting the fringes of your party every now and then. But for the life of me I don’t understand making that cohort the main goal of your increasingly nuttier and nuttier rhetoric.
What is this electoral calculus?

In a response to queries from The Journal, the company said for the first time that its Irish workforce is not involved in any work with the IDF.
Well obviously… Unless the IDF want help avoiding tax.

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too."
Fucking lol’d. 💀
- Comment on REPORT: Arm is sensationally canceling the license that allowed Qualcomm to make Snapdragon chips which power everything from Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and tablets 3 weeks ago:
If it’s that’s easy / cheap then why have they not?
This is a big ol’ game of bluff from both sides. So, according to you, Qualcomm should call their bluff?

- Comment on Tesla, Warner Bros sued for using AI ripoff of iconic Blade Runner imagery, despite the producers having previously rejected any association between their iconic sci-fi movie and Musk or his companies 3 weeks ago:
I doubt this will go anywhere, but I wish them luck. Go get that nonce.
- Comment on Change NHS: Help build a health service fit for the future 3 weeks ago:
They really don’t. I’m not sure how much you follow the discourse around this but politicians and political commentators regularly cite German or French models. They also overwhelmingly cite the US model as not one they want.
Can we stop pretending that there are only two health care systems in the world. It’s a bizarre and daft argument.
- Comment on Change NHS: Help build a health service fit for the future 3 weeks ago:
Why does everyone only ever bring up the shambles that is US healthcare? It’s like there’s only two ways of doing it. NHS or US.
Fucking basic.
- Comment on Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands 3 weeks ago:
Sounds like another case of US tech companies fucking with the web of EU regulations to nobody’s benefit but their own.
It’s no wonder they moved to another tax haven. Sorry, sorry. The EU doesn’t have tax havens according to their own rules. Low tax threshold telegraphic jurisdictions.

If we assume that Ingerland is an acceptable spelling of England (and no other nation exists in the UK 😠) then how about Inglewood?
That way we’ll be immortalised by 2pac in the same song as Hollywood!

- Comment on When is an invasion not an invasion? When the British media report on Israel… 1 month ago:
This isn’t isolated to the UK. France, Germany, US, Belgium, Greece, the Netherlands, Australia. You name pretty much any “Western” country and they’re reporting (or not reporting depending how you feel) it like this.
These countries have a vested interest in Israeli aggression succeeding. They flower up the language when asked but they don’t give a fuck ultimately. You need to change what interests they are vested in. And food luck with that.
Over the past decade Israel has done deals with it’s neighbours in the region for amicable coexistence. UAE being a big one. The countries it hasn’t done a deal with they are spanking in an armed conflict and overt assassinations that, with the help of US billions and UN cover, they will win.
The “West” doesn’t want to help and neither does a large swathe of the Middle East.
