Head transplant dude?
- Comment on MP uses parliamentary privilege to ask why Lucy Letby story blocked in UK 5 months ago:
She's been found guilty of a crime. They're doing a retrial on one of the counts but she's been convicted of seven murders.
- Comment on How come hotel check-in time is always 3-4? 5 months ago:
I always just go, worst case scenario they were super busy the night before and don't have any rooms ready so you leave your bags with them and go explore lighter, but most of the time they have a room and let you in.
You can also pre-book early check in but I tend to only do that if I really need it because it costs and usually you can sneak in by turning up.
- Comment on Schools won't be allowed to teach children that they can change their gender ID, reports say 5 months ago:
Because we all know 12 and 13 year olds never have sex. One study says nearly 3000 of them got pregnant between 2000 and 2007 but clearly immaculate conceptions all round.
- Comment on Eurovision loses almost a quarter of UK viewers compared with 2023 5 months ago:
But you somehow think people voting normally is organisation? But government led organisation isn't???
- Comment on Eurovision loses almost a quarter of UK viewers compared with 2023 5 months ago:
I think you're confused by what an organised plan is...
- Comment on Eurovision loses almost a quarter of UK viewers compared with 2023 5 months ago:
Making a country win is way easier than making one lose. You'd have to put in enough votes for every country as you don't know how other countries will vote.
There's definitely been an organised plan for Israel, people have spoken about it openly on twitter
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 5 months ago:
I've tried to find out if they ever did marry but I can't find her online. I like to think she did though and it went well because she did really like the picture.
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 5 months ago:
I think you're confused. That is arranged marriage.
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 5 months ago:
You're still mixing up arranged marriage with forced marriage.
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 5 months ago:
It's not dating exactly, but there are dates involved. The parents pick someone that you're intended to marry, they bring them round and go "here, we think you should marry this person". You get chatting with them, go out for some dates, in the modern age you're probably texting each other etc, but it's not like western dating where you're just seeing how it goes, you're deciding if you want to marry.
After a short while you would say 'yup, this seems good'.
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 5 months ago:
You don't commit to a stranger really. Normally you've met them and spoke multiple times and the families have spoken throughout both kids lives. I had a friend when I was young who knew her intended spouse from 7 years old and there was no plan to marry until she was finished with uni. She used to carry a picture of him in her wallet like we all had boyband members.
Even once you get to the marriage bit there's chances to say no then.
- Comment on Will I ever be seen as truly British? 5 months ago:
Horse chestnuts, not chestnuts, chestnuts are soft and you eat them on bonfire night, horse chestnuts are hard and you can crack skulls with them.
- Comment on Will I ever be seen as truly British? 5 months ago:
Knowing what a conker is makes you super British.

- Comment on What happens to those who are severely disabled while in prison? 5 months ago:
Just to clarify, nobody is entirely reliant on a guide dog. A guide dog is a tool that assists someone in certain situations, there's loads of tools blind people can use to navigate, they may have a preference but the prison systems don't really care much.
- Comment on Sadiq Khan wins third term as London mayor saying he answered 'hate with hope' 5 months ago:
I'm really glad, he seems like a good egg, but I do wonder when Count Binface is getting his turn.
- Comment on My friend's boyfriend's therapist said that he is an abuser who is trying to look like the victim. What does this mean? 5 months ago:
If he can't/won't travel to her and she can't travel to him then does it matter? It's going nowhere and they can be online friends or disconnect but the relationship won't progress.
- Comment on So we currently have all these left wing folks claiming men are more dangerous than bears, why is the same group pushing multi gender washrooms so hard? 5 months ago:
I have a lot of lady solo hiker friends and none of them have EVER had a strange encounter with a random man in the woods
That is either untrue or you know like two women. It's super common for lone women to have strange encounters with random men.

Generally leave you alone if you leave them alone?
- Comment on Advertising fascism - The UK Home Office 5 months ago:
Why film people in this way? It's dehumanising. These are people who have done nothing wrong and have been confirmed to legitimately need asylum. People who don't need asylum are returned to their countries of origin.
- Comment on 'It should have been safe’: twin of woman found under coat in A&E says death avoidable 5 months ago:
I'd definitely disagree that America is better, for a lot of reasons.
- Comment on 'It should have been safe’: twin of woman found under coat in A&E says death avoidable 5 months ago:
Not what I meant, like was she in the toilet, hidden in some way, etc. This is discussed in the article that they won't give specifics to her sister or let her see the footage.
- Comment on 'It should have been safe’: twin of woman found under coat in A&E says death avoidable 5 months ago:
That's awful.
- Comment on 'It should have been safe’: twin of woman found under coat in A&E says death avoidable 5 months ago:
I'd love to know where she was. If she was just in the waiting room surely they'd see her?

Nice to see the UK at the top of something!
- Comment on Sunak to cite Britain’s ‘sicknote culture’ in bid to overhaul fit note system 6 months ago:
I have an idea right, instead of like, treating mental illness, how about we all claim it doesn't exist, that way nobody has it and we'll all be fine!!
- Comment on Life was better in the nineties and noughties, say most Britons 6 months ago:
Both my parents have always worked but I had friends as a kid whose dad worked low paid factory jobs, moms didn't work and they weren't really struggling. Not like you see today anyway, no food banks or getting evicted, they might have had the tesco no frills crisps.
- Comment on Life was better in the nineties and noughties, say most Britons 6 months ago:
There were definitely worse things, but we all had way more money. In the 90's a person on a minimum wage job could get a mortgage, can you imagine?
