- Comment on Police in England brace for disorder as far right promote anti-migrant protests 2 days ago:
The spread of disinformation and misinformation by individuals or groups can significantly contribute to community tensions and has real-world implications. We all have a responsibility in this respect
Except for politicians, the government and police officers who all can and do lie legally and with impunity.
- Comment on How a high-speed ocean chase led to an £18m cocaine seizure in Cornwall 1 week ago:
£18m cocaine seizure
Even taking their inevitable overestimate at face value, on a £4 billion annual market they’ve managed to seize 0.325%. They’ve achieved nothing. Prohibition doesn’t work.

British police aren’t right wing.
LOL

poor, defenseless, innocent women
Not doing yourself any favours with this kind of sarcastic comment.
Anyone who advocates for the disenfranchisement of trans people
I’ve never seen anybody argue that trans people should be denied the right to vote. Including in this article.
- Comment on Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling 3 weeks ago:
Did you read it?
Yes.
She doesn’t think Trans people, a part of the LGBT community, exist.
The article makes no mention of whether she views trans people as existing. Again, you’re jumping to conclusions. And to be frank, you’re being ridiculous.
- Comment on Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling 3 weeks ago:
You’ll never guess what the ‘T’ in LGBT stands for…
You’ll never guess what the ‘L’ in LGBT stands for…
She is actively seeking to drive a wedge between LGBT communities and the police
I don’t see how you can come to that conclusion given the article. You seem to be jumping to conclusions.
as well as trying to divide people in regards to LGBT issues
Again, I don’t see how you can come to that conclusion about her goals. The fact that she simply has a different opinion to others doesn’t imply a goal of dividing people. Dividing people may be a conseqeunce of her actions but that doesn’t imply it’s her goal.
She will happily cut off her nose to spite her face, if it means harming trans people.
Again, this is jumping to conclusions.
And being part of a community doesn’t make you immune from being against the community. … there’s homophobic/transphobic/biphobic people in the LGBT community
True but that doesn’t mean any particular person who is critical of one section of the community is necessarily against the whole community, that doesn’t follow.
there were Jews in Germany who hated Jews and happily supported Nazis
Firstly wow that took no time at all en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law
Secondly, this is a false equivalence. Every example you’ve given is of a member of a community being against the whole community but in the case we’re discussing, a member of a community is critical of only part of the community, not the whole community.
- Comment on Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling 3 weeks ago:
The “sides” are the LGBT community and those that hate them.
This is wrong. The person who took Northumbria Police to court was a lesbian and hence a member of the LGBT community. It doesn’t make sense for the “sides” to include the LGBT community.
You’re conflating the gender supporting (as oppose to gender critical) community and the LGBT community.

Finding the actual records/videos is not trivial, which is why I’m asking if anyone has already done that and can provide links.

- Comment on BBC News - BBC senior staff told to 'step back' from duties following row 5 weeks ago:
we heard in the House the absolute shocking stories of the impact this has had on the Jewish community
Very curious what these stories were. Anyone have any links to how Bob Vylan’s set impacted the Jewish community?

If you just click on the “More details” button your question is answered explicitly:
I believe that such provisions may inadvertently incentivise illegal migration, particularly via the English Channel.
- Comment on Angela Rayner: I’ve taken all sorts — but we won’t legalise cannabis 1 month ago:
There are a whole bunch of clinics. It’s not infeasible that an entire town has switched although probably unlikely, alas.
- Comment on Angela Rayner: I’ve taken all sorts — but we won’t legalise cannabis 1 month ago:
You realise it’s legal to use cannabis in the UK with a prescription? Cannabis was rescheduled in 2018.
- Comment on Angela Rayner: I’ve taken all sorts — but we won’t legalise cannabis 1 month ago:
to begin fixing the country?
The country only appears in need of fixing from the perspective of those without money or power. That is, you and me. From the perspective of the people running the country, who have both money and power, the country is working fine and there’s nothing that needs fixing.

- Comment on The British jet engine that failed in the 'Valley of Death' 1 month ago:
Giving up advancements in science and technology is stagnation.
That’s not what I’m suggesting. I’m suggesting giving up some particular, potential advancements in science and tecnology, which is a whole different kettle of fish and does not imply stagnation.
Thinking it’s a good idea to not do anything until people are fed and housed is stagnation.
Why do you think that?
- Comment on The British jet engine that failed in the 'Valley of Death' 1 month ago:
stagnation
Why do you see feeding and housing everyone as stagnation?
- Comment on The British jet engine that failed in the 'Valley of Death' 1 month ago:
The people who are motivated by advancing technology, aren’t motivated to overcome corruption, incline equality, to replace economic systems, etc.
That seems a bit presumptuous. Why do you think people who are motivated to advance technology aren’t motivated to overcome corruption, etc.?
All you’d be doing is stifling innovation, improvement, a reason for hope in the future
I’m confused. I haven’t suggested doing anything. I’m very curious what the “doing” is that you’ve conjured me suggesting?
- Comment on The British jet engine that failed in the 'Valley of Death' 1 month ago:
We already have the resources and technology to do this
But not the will. Because people are focused on building spaceplanes instead of focused on what matters.
- Comment on The British jet engine that failed in the 'Valley of Death' 1 month ago:
Here’s an idea: why not take care of people’s basic needs like food and shelter, and then build a spaceplane?
