Not aimed particularly at you Tom, just the latest of many similar posts. I think some of you need to have a look at your friends tbh unless you're all actively going out looking for this stuff as some sort of gotcha. I would most likely be considered a leftie by people on here and I have...

better ≠ perfect the main point is on BlueSky you have to seek it out or follow people of that ilk. on twitter you can go on to see if we've signed anyone and have hate filled post after hate filled post

In some ways that's just levelling the playing field. We've long heard complaints / theories that the fractured left side of politics led to repeated Conservative election wins

Because they don't give a shit about the T20. The head of the ECB was on Sky and some of the stuff he was coming out with was absolutely insane. Was claiming the Hundred is going to rival the IPL when in reality half the franchises have been purchased by IPL owners and will be rebranded in...

A lot depends on the media I suspect. They've had an easy ride up to now, Farage allowed to spout off on Question Time on a regular basis but very little scrutiny of any policy matters. The conference seems to have been a bit of a turning point. Bringing out the likes of Malholtra & Connolly...

Bluesky is far far better in terms of your entire feed not being overrun with stuff that is a long way from your interests. I have zero news & politics on my twitter yet get inundated with right wing stuff. My Bluesky is pretty much 100% news and politics and doesn't suffer from the same...

I think it's worse than that. Given the absolute state twitter is I have my account very locked down to following only music, football & hockey accounts. Yet on a daily basis I have stuff coming up on my feed that can't be considered anything other than far right. Any post I click on I have to...

Exactly, people more concerned about blaming 'the other side' be that the left or the right. And some desperate desire to post who the shooter is or some other information. How often do we get early 'facts' that turn out to be incorrect but by then it's too late, the outrage has been unleashed.

Don't think Starmer will be getting this one framed and up on the wall in his office.

Horrific. America seems well and truly fucked and the rest of the world seems to be racing to catch up. This is it in a nutshell isn't it. Within literally seconds of any event happening, affecting left or right, people are politicising and trying to make gains from it without a second thought...

8:50pm start for a 9 over a side game. Fair fucks to the ground staff because a couple of hours ago you'd have said there was zero chance of a game. But really what is the point. We're playing in the cold in front of next to nobody in mid September and they're already talking about the outfield...

What people want with regards to deporting criminals seems to vary massively on a case by case basis. We want to get the scumbag that ran Keaton over back in the country to face trial. With others we want to get them out of the country and 'back to where they came from'. And thats before you...

Probably worth watching the whole piece and not the bit that's been clipped to evoke rage. The debate was around the response to incidents like this on social media from people wishing to use them for political gain. That significant information is held back to present the version of events...

Still probably preferable that we don't get to the point where we have to find out if that is true.

Agreed, think there's definitely a discussion to be had about where the line is and sentencing guidelines. Having said that sentencing is a complex thing and its pretty easy to just hold up one example and say its a mess but its probably not as easy as making one simple change.

In my experience the front line staff are largely excellent. The biggest issue with frontline staff is the number of agency workers so getting any continuity of care is difficult. But the management is horrifically bad. Not helped by the fact the management structure keeps being changed as...

Who on earth thought it was a good idea to bring him back into the fold. Starmer should have seen the red flags a mile off, everybody else could.

So much for the theory that Putin would be happy with Ukraine and was no danger to anywhere else

Worth pointing out that the people such as those protesting at the weekend were protesting against the proscription and want PA removed from the list. So essentially they are protesting for a change in the law not saying the law shouldn't apply. Although the authorities have also repeatedly been...

I can only think of two places I've ever worked that didn't have mixed bathrooms, was never an issue. Similarly I recall when I was living in Portsmouth and they opened a new swimming pool the changing rooms were mixed, again it was a non-issue. As with leaving the EU it seems to have become...
