- Comment on Downing Street ‘exploring plan for digital ID cards’ 1 day ago:
Getting the UK public to be on board with just a digital ID isn’t going to fly
They’re selling it as a tool to fight illegal immigration, so I suspect it’ll go down well with the public.
- Comment on Downing Street ‘exploring plan for digital ID cards’ 2 days ago:
My worry about this idea is that it would be a requirement for you to have the ID on you at all times. I hate the thought that you basically have to have your id on you wherever you go just in case the police stop you. I know realistically you’re likely to have your phone on you anyway but still.
If it’s also a requirement, would would the government have a scheme to help people buy a phone if they can’t afford one?

I mean after that, once the server is shut down and hosting bills are paid.

What will happen to the remaining donated funds once everything has been settled (assuming there’s funds left over)?
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 4 days ago:
Sounds like it’s not the technical side that’s too difficult, but managing the users.
- Comment on Forceful bike campaigners can undermine UK cycle lane planning, report finds 5 days ago:
The study, by Dr Alexander Nurse, a reader in urban planning at the University of Liverpool, found multiple concerns about a “very toxic” and “often abusive” debate about cycling, although this was primarily down to opponents, and often those posting anonymously on social media.
This occasionally went beyond virtual targeting, with one councillor describing having details of their address and family published as a threat, while another respondent said they were followed in the street and their family was abused.
Yeah I don’t think this kind of behaviour is very productive to their aims. People in online spaces can get really unhinged.
It’s hardly surprising that they prefer face to face discussions.
We do need significantly better cycling infrastructure though.
- Comment on Mum locked up in prison after what she did with two Kinder eggs 5 days ago:
I used to go to Creamfields and people would walk around with rucksacks full of drugs just casually asking people in the crowd if they wanted to buy some.
Unless she’s got a fucking enormous vagina then she must have been just on the limit for personal use. 3 years is crazy.
- Comment on Mum locked up in prison after what she did with two Kinder eggs 5 days ago:
Are you telling me that women don’t have a vagain?
- Comment on How I discovered my partner was an undercover police officer sent to spy on me 1 week ago:
Most countries have intelligence agencies for internal threats. How would you detect and prevent terrorist attacks without them?
- Comment on UK net migration almost halves in 2024, falling to 431,000, ONS estimate 2 weeks ago:
I honestly doubt they will. I think immigration could be 0 but as long as they see stories about brown people and “woke nonesense” then they’ll complain. Ultilmately I think their dream, although they’ll never say it, is that they want to ship any immigrants from the past 30 years away.

- Comment on Opinion: Just ignore all the myths about low-traffic neighbourhoods. They’re popular, effective and here to stay 3 weeks ago:
Thanks. I’m never quite sure what to believe on these schemes, they sound good and have all the right aims but I can never be sure if the complaints against them are just locals that will moan no matter what, or if there’s genuine issues that the local authorities just try to suppress because they want to implement the scheme no matter what.
I dunno what your situation is, but would cycling that previous 7 minute journey be an option? I guess that’s what the scheme tries to promote but understand it’s not always practical.

Does anyone here live in these areas any have any experience of what they’re like?

- Comment on Thanks to the american FPTP voting system, Nigel Farage could obtain an absolute majority with a minority of the votes 3 weeks ago:
I’m definitely all for PR, but hasn’t FPTP hurt smaller parties like Reform/UKIP in the past? There was an election where UKIP received millions of votes but only secured a couple of seats. PR could potentially make it easier for parties like Reform to gain power.

Yeah but passenger airliners aren’t equipped with parachutes. I think what you probably mean is in an emergency evacuation then the passengers will be left behind while attendants jump down the slides.

They stated that “an extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action”.
So what do they claim was the context?

Yeah I think so.
I wonder how they’d scale something like this up though if it’s a success?

- Comment on 'We can’t sit back and watch’: Former MI6 boss says Britain must get ready for war as Putin threatens Europe 2 months ago:
There was no promise of NATO expansion. Gorbachev himself had said there was no such promise.
Countries previously occupied by the soviets didn’t want a repeat and sought security guarantees by joining NATO, something that they’re entitled to do.
The people got rid of a president who was once looking for closer ties to the EU, then visits Putin and suddenly wanted to get cosier with Russia, doing a complete 180. Let’s also conveniently forget Russia poisoning of the pro-west presidential candidate in 2007. Was that the fault of the west too?
Your comment reeks of Russian propaganda.
