- Comment on Keir Starmer apologises to Epstein victims for believing Mandelson's 'lies' 16 hours ago:
Keir Starmer is full of shit. Mandelson’s links to Epstein, before and after his conviction were known to him.
He wasn’t deceived, he’s lying to us about being lied to.
- Comment on Facial recognition error: Customer misidentified by Sainsbury's 1 day ago:
Indeed, it’s still a ridiculous amount of errors though.
65,000,000 x (0.02%) = 13,000 possible errors
16,000,000 x (0.02%) = 3,200 errors every week
- Comment on Alton Towers bans people with anxiety from using disability pass 1 day ago:
That’s assuming it’s actually people and not bots driving “engagement”.
Is there really enough people signed up to a Telegraph account to provide 172 comments on a minor story within a day of publishing?
I don’t know, maybe, but I’m dubious.
- Comment on Facial recognition error: Customer misidentified by Sainsbury's 1 day ago:
Both Facewatch and Sainsbury’s point to the software’s “99.98% accuracy” – but Rajah suspects the margin of error is higher and has questions about the dataset behind this claim, and if it is representative of a range of body types and skin colours.
99.98% looks good to a layman, but that number is meaningless in reality.
Is that 0.02% error false positives or false negatives, or both?
Also, 0.02% means 2 in every 10,000. I don’t think it takes long for 10,000 people to go through the doors of Sainsburys every day, considering the UK population is about 65 million and they’re a nationwide company. Once this is rolled out nationwide they’re going to have constant false flags.
Scumbag oppressive tactics by a scumbag company.
- Comment on The news is sugarcoating how revolting the Epstein files are 2 days ago:
Sanewashing is the act of minimizing the perceived radical aspects of a person or idea in order to make them appear more acceptable to a wider audience. The term was initially coined in online discussions about defunding the police in 2020, but it has come to greater prominence in critique of media practices relating to Donald Trump in the 2024 United States presidential election.
- Comment on Coastal road swept away into the sea in Devon 2 days ago:
Aye, however reading this I’m even more convinced putting a road there is idiotic, considering the environmental uniqueness of the area.

But hey, who cares about tarmac, exhaust fumes, tyre microplastics, brake dust, and potential oil leaks and debris from accidents in a nature reserve and area of special scientific interest?

- Comment on Coastal road swept away into the sea in Devon 2 days ago:
In the photograph I noticed there’s water either side of the road, so I looked it up on a map and it’s such a dumb fucking stretch of road. Of course the sea will take it!
Why waste money rebuilding it over and over when they could make an inland road that serves the same route?
Highlighted the road in red for visibility.

David Lammy also tells MPs he will draw up legislation to stop prisoners using human rights laws to challenge tougher conditions
Yeah, fuck those humans using human rights to prevent cruel and unusual punishment!
/s if it wasn’t obvious enough
Why stop at supermax? They should go for super duper max! Super duper ultimate extreme maximum.
This is fucking atrocious and anybody still supporting Labour at this point should hang their heads in fucking shame.
- Comment on YSK that everything the New York Times about Donald Trump actually happened 3 days ago:
The pride I never had, the nationality that I never felt
Saddam was bad, and the American’s even more so
They made me grow like i was missing part of my torso
But I never picked up a grenade in my garden
I never saw people I love die starving
I never saw my family die through many years of sanctions
While the rulers family lived in palaces and mansions
Never had a family member kidnapped for a ransom
I never lost a friend to violence that was random
Bombings, occupation, torture, intimidation
A million dead people doesn’t equal liberation - Comment on If every accusation is a confession, the “woke mind virus” panic was a clear-cut admission of an existing opposite-ideology virus that's making many people very mentally ill 4 days ago:

They might make a nice tasting drink but they also promote fascism and anti-science conspiracy theories.
Servus TV is a TV station based in Wals-Siezenheim in the Austrian state of Salzburg and owned by Red Bull Media House GmbH, a subsidiary of Red Bull GmbH, which also publishes the magazine Servus in Stadt und Land. The station is the successor to Salzburg TV, founded in 1995 and rebranded in 2009. It is politically aligned with the far right.
The TV station has been associated with the political far right and conspiracy theorising.[2][3] As part of the talk show “Talk im Hangar 7”, the leading figure of the neo-fascist identitarian movement IBÖ Martin Sellner was invited to a panel discussion on the topic “How dangerous are our Muslims?”.[4]
In his weekly commentary series “Der Wegscheider”, the director of Servus TV Ferdinand Wegscheider [de] spread controversial and unsubstantiated information about the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] This frequently took the form of posing rhetorical questions. For example, he explained that the vaccination was “insufficiently tested” and contained “genetically modified substances”. He further claimed that the administration of the antiparasitic ivermectin would be an adequate therapy.[5] In 2021, the press club Concordia filed an official complaint against the broadcaster at the communications authority of Austria (Kommunikationsbehörde Austria).

- Comment on UK announces largest ever facial recognition rollout as part of policing reforms 1 week ago:
Tell that to Andy Burnham.
We’re not a purely two party state, like America, that requires changing the Democrats from within.
Labour is a captured organisation. The PLP is filled with authoritarians and Friends of Israel. And the PLP has the majority of power within the party. The effort required to change it from within would be better spent in the already established Green party and establishing Your Party.
The left can abandon Labour, as it abandoned the left in the 90s.

- Comment on Number of US-style pickup trucks on UK roads up 92% in a decade, data shows 1 week ago:
These are almost nonexistent in the UK and a very niche requirement which doesn’t explain the vast majority of pickup users’ choice.
- Comment on Number of US-style pickup trucks on UK roads up 92% in a decade, data shows 1 week ago:
I despise these shit vehicles so much.
Anything they purport to do a van can do better. Most people have zero requirement for them, the few that do would be better served by a van.
They take up more space than other vehicles on on-street parking, they’re so long they stick out onto pavements when parked in many driveways, and they’re considerably less safe than a normal car for other car drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Utter shit buckets driven by fragile ego manlets trying to prove their masculinity, in the most unimportant and unimpressive way possible.
