- Comment on Disabled man dies in poverty and squalor after DWP removes his benefits, just as Labour cuts PIP by £4.5bn 1 week ago:
Their bosses give them targets for denying as much in benefits as they can. The front line workers are traumatised by their own actions and tend to develop unhealthy coping strategies. One of those strategies is dehumanising claimants but there are many other terrible strategies.
When I was made unemployed a few years ago, I didn’t make any benefit claims in order avoid having contact with the DWP.

ActivityPub is decentralised. AT has a centralised user directory. They’re not comparable.
- Comment on Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible 4 weeks ago:
Half the country voted to remain.
Firstly, not everyone in the country votes. The turnout for the EU referendum was only 72.2%.
Secondly, of the non-spolied ballots, only 48.1% were in favour of remaining. Which is not only much less than half the country but a good 1.9% away from the minimum 50% required for your statement not to bollocks.

- Comment on The UK must make big changes to its diets, farming and land use to hit net zero – official climate advisers 5 weeks ago:
Orchards are very different from woodland. Trees need to be evenly planted and have much more space than woods. Probably better than nothing but it’s not the kind of CO2-sink woodland the CCC is talking about.

‘that’s too much proof’
I’ve neither said nor implied that.
my information about the news from the news
Interesting that you’re looking for information about the news rather than information about the government.
The things I said are happening
I disagree.
- Comment on Labour is wilfully ignoring that the climate crisis is at a crunch point. 1 month ago:
The sources more than prove this.
I disagree.
I actually have a folder of saved tabs called 'good things Labour are doing
Ah! So basically it’s just news articles on websites that have convinced you.

I’m not especially keen on googling things for you
For me? Wow. There was me thinking that providing well-sourced opinions was for the benefit of the writer in their not being dismissed out of hand.
publicly available information
Firstly, a majority of these links are to the same story reported in different publications. They give the impression that you searched the web for something like “labour green transition” and then copied all the URLs as links. I asked you what made you think that Labour have achieved anything, which is a question about you. I didn’t ask for help searching the web.
Secondly, none of the articles are about anything Labour has actually achieved, only what they say they’d like to do, are planning to do, or have done only as a result of procedures that were already in place when they took power. If these links are all you have then you have nothing convincing.

You’ve given me a list of nice-sounding ideas but no references whatsoever to demonstrate that what you’re saying is true.

Wehay! \o/

My heart bleeds for the poor businesses having to be patient while councils take the time to properly record human beings’ ancient rights to walk over land.

- Comment on Britain will rejoin the EU within 15 years, former Brussels chief predicts 5 months ago:
feigning ignorance of the subject matter
your comments do come off a little bit like that
LOL damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If one doesn’t understand what another person means, there’s no way to gain understanding except to ask them. That people interpret genuine attempts to enter into dialogue as feigning ignorance shows, to me at least, how astonishingly low the average level of communication ability is.
people often use it to dismiss any further discussion
Communication can be too difficult for some.
