This is just too good. Seeing that presenter just keep twisting the knife was glorious.

Leeds is conspicuous in its absence.

Damn I miss Brown, it’s sad to think what we could have had if he’d won that election.

I remember when that came out, it was really ahead of its time! Whatever they did with Gov.UK in the beginning should be the model for how government does online services.

If this NHS data is properly anonymised, why not open it to everyone instead of just select “researchers and innovators”? (And how do I know that “researchers and innovators” just means Microsoft and Google?)

This just seems like a multi billion pound gift to US tech companies. We’re still effectively in austerity and this is what they’re spending money on.

Maybe they also saw what happened when Hitler tried to invade Russia. In my hindsight it’s obvious why they made the choice they did. Trying to start a new invasion of the Soviet Union in 1945 would have been insane.

That stage of life is pretty difficult work-wise. Up until then most people’s lives have been on rails: go to school, do exams, go to university, do exams. Now you’ve got all this choice, but also the idea that the “wrong” choice will affect your life in a negative way.

My advice is just to try out lots of things. At this age you’re not locked into anything, you can spend a few years doing something, decide you don’t want to keep doing it, and it’s not time wasted. I’m 35 and I’ve got friends my age who are changing careers now. You’ll never know if a career is “for you” until you’ve tried it.

Russia absolutely is an imperialist power. They’re literally invading one of their former imperial possessions, not to mention the shit they’re doing in Georgia, Syria, Nigeria etc

If you support Russia’s wars of aggression, you’re not anti-imperialist.

What’s left-wing about Russia right now?

Talking about trains with my fellow train drivers:

Talking about trains with those fucking idiot bus drivers who don’t know shit:

Don’t tell them that or they’ll back a military coup on us!

Mine was similar, but my RS teacher was a cool goth lady. Also perfect for RS.

You’re on a UK politics community lol

Who said that? I couldn’t find it in the article.

Maybe I’m being optimistic too, but after what’s happened this year I don’t think the anti-Semitism label will stick as hard as it did in 2019. People know a bit more about Israel and its actions now.

So… run at a massive deficit in the hopes that we’ll get acquired by a bigger country?

What’s the context for this? I’ve been out of the loop with this story.

Gnome to the dome!

I’m amazed that Clarkson has managed to paint the landowning class as salt of the earth workers who are just trying to get by. The fact that you have people who would never be affected by this tax arguing on the side of these people with massive property and assets portfolios is just wild to me.
