- Comment on Sainsbury’s boss defends decision to sell customers’ Nectar card data 10 months ago:
You know, they don’t actually check the address or name you put in when registering for a nectar card. Imagine what would happen if enough people accidentally put the wrong details in there - I can’t imagine the data would be worth as much if it’s mostly nonsense.
- Comment on Israel 'has a right' to withhold power and water from citizens in Gaza - Starmer 1 year ago:
… unintentionally endorsing collective punishment.
- Comment on Israel 'has a right' to withhold power and water from citizens in Gaza - Starmer 1 year ago:
It’s the sort of thing he could clarify in an apology I think.
- Comment on Israel 'has a right' to withhold power and water from citizens in Gaza - Starmer 1 year ago:
I think he kinda did tbh.
I think the best you can say he didn’t do it on purpose. He clearly had a soundbite (‘Isreal has a right to defend itself within international law’), but maybe he didn’t actually listen to the question before using it?
- Comment on Israel 'has a right' to withhold power and water from citizens in Gaza - Starmer 1 year ago:
Gaza is a de facto open-air prison
- Comment on Israel 'has a right' to withhold power and water from citizens in Gaza - Starmer 1 year ago:
Honestly, I think an apology will be on the way. I think he tried to “soundbite” himself through an interview without really listening to the question or thinking about how it sounded.
- Comment on Israel 'has a right' to withhold power and water from citizens in Gaza - Starmer 1 year ago:
At some point though, surely humanity and justice have to take precedence over politicking - I don’t think the need to tiptoe around issues like that is a good enough reason for excusing the collective punishment of 2 million people.
- Comment on Hunt warns of benefit cuts for people who won’t ‘actively look for work’ 1 year ago:
Is this an equilavant of stolen valour but for DJs?
- Comment on Russell Brand: Comedian accused of rape and sexual assault of four women 1 year ago:
He’s very much sliding down the alt right pipeline now
- Comment on Russell Brand posts video online denying unspecified criminal allegations 1 year ago:
Those things that aren’t really fixed to one end of the polictal spectrum, sounds alot like the silicon valley VC lot too
- Comment on Britons place low value on teaching children obedience, study finds 1 year ago:
Honestly, this sounds more like you just don’t like children.
- Comment on Tony Blair says junk food should be made too expensive for the poor to afford through new sugar and salt taxes to tackle obesity 1 year ago:
Can people stop asking Tony Blair for his opinions?
- Comment on Strikes and wet weather cause UK economy to shrink 1 year ago:
The manufacturing consent machine goes brrrr
- Comment on The NHS Doesn’t Need Reform – It Needs Funding 1 year ago:
Honestly, I think the ‘reforms’ it needs are undoing the ‘reforms’ of the last 2 decades.
- Comment on Starmer assistant among lobbyists working for shadow cabinet 1 year ago:
I think you’re being naive if you think Starmer will do anything about it
- Comment on Starmer assistant among lobbyists working for shadow cabinet 1 year ago:
oh sweet summer child
- Comment on Wednesday Whinge - 12 September 2023 1 year ago:
It’s too wet now

Is it by a Mr Iain Banks?
- Comment on Suella Braverman pushes for ban on American bully XLs after attack 1 year ago:
TBF I do think there’s a cultural aspect. If you search for ‘XL bully’ half the video results are about how to get your bully XL dog to build muscle mass and look intimidating. It seems people that are attracted to that breed are so because they desire (at least on some level) to have a dangerous looking dog, and actively work to make the dog fit the role.
I’m unsure how you address that behaviour, but it is a problem.
