• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI firms are ‘scraping the value’ from UK’s £125bn creative industries, says Channel 4 boss⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Which hasn’t happened in the UK.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else over April Fools being an extension of companies R&D depts⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How is it anything to do with R&D?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ninja sword owners will be paid to surrender weapons before ban⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This will probably be a reaction to the Hainault sword attack last year which resulted in the murder of a schoolboy, attempted murder of others, and an attack on a sleeping family, using a samurai sword. The trial is due to start tomorrow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Network Rail to set up property company to deliver 40,000 homes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The houses will be in insufficient quantity and in poor location to make rail transport of materials viable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BBC reporter arrested and deported from Turkey⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean the killings consistently called out and condemned by the BBC?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are ever feeling like what you are doing is meaningless, remember that there are American lawyers and judges who have spent many years studying US constitutional law.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And most of them will be millionaires by 2029

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla recalls all Cybertrucks ever made over trim falling off | Electrek⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s called cold weather.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla recalls all Cybertrucks ever made over trim falling off | Electrek⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t bother to vote, you’re not a voter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are, they are being reported. I couldn’t speculate as to why you are missing them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not likely. There wouldn’t be enough working hours in the 4 years available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just watched the movie Hacksaw Ridge. Got me thinking can people in the military turn down an order because they disagree with it on sensible grounds? Like Trump ordering them to invade CN?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They are legally obliged to refuse to carry out illegal orders. “Just following orders” is no defence against war crime charges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's easier to shoot, a bow or a firearm?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed, longbowmen can be identified as their skeletons are significantly deformed over years of training.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalist Solidarity⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a campaign by the News Media Association, a trade body representing the publishers of many national and local papers and news sites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Israel denies entry to two EU lawmakers, accusing one of supporting boycotts⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not at all a red flag when you get mad at people trying to uphold human rights and international law.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it that in every movie podcast, when they happen to mention actor RALPH Fiennes, always say RAY Fiennes?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For the aristocracy, the people who work “real jobs” are the black sheep. A gentleman is supposed to live off the land (rents) and to otherwise be a mere amateur.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it that in every movie podcast, when they happen to mention actor RALPH Fiennes, always say RAY Fiennes?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The English aristocracy never quite got comfortable with English, the language of the unwashed. So they keep Norman French alive in weird pronunciations of names. The Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes family are no different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would America declaring cartels terrorist organizations be a problem for Mexico?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  See: Afghanistan, Iraq.

  America are the toddlers who have found father’s gun and decide to blast at anyone withholding sugar.

  The idea that the American military are competent enough to go after just the cartels is laughable. Not to mention the violation of Mexican sovereignty.

  • Belgium - Napoleonic wars — Waterloo
  • France - (as England) 1230, 1337-60, 1369-89, 1373, 1415-53, 1562, (as Britain) 1794, 1795, 1813, 1815, 1944

  • Spain - 1808-14
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Only 22 countries have never been invaded by Britain⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Please calm down and would the outstanding 22 form an orderly queue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK: Rooftop solar could reduce energy bill for the country's poorest families by almost a quarter, study says⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure I follow their sums on this. The poorest families aren’t living in the buildings with large roof spaces. So whatever the average saving from having solar fitted, they won’t ever approach anywhere near that, if anything. Who gets the savings from blocks of flats? Presumably the council would take the profit from panels on their properties to prop up their failing budgets. Housing associations are also being squeezed.
