Yeah and that’s why we have congestion charges and emissions zones and catalytic converters and environmental regulations on cars, to reduce the pollution that people are breathing in.
FYI I’m not in favour of ever banning smoking completely. The freedom to damage yourself is just as important as the freedom to not be damaged by someone else.
but not in your garden or with your windows open, because that’s too close to me
Where are you getting this from? There’s a big difference between in a beer garden full of people and in your own garden.
Is it? Second hand smoking still fucks you up, and it’s not like being outside completely fixes that.
The election is tomorrow and the shit-slinging is getting desperate
Are you paying for an equal number of £10.50 pints though?
The average cost of a pint is £7? I don’t believe that unless the survey was exclusively London
That’s good to know. Doesn’t really matter if I think it’s weird as long as it’s not actually upsetting anyone!
Has “people of colour” caught on over here now? It always sounded uncomfortably close to “coloured people” as a kind-of-offensive term for all non-whites.
OK, so you are technically correct. Hey, important referendums have been decided on smaller margins than 53.8%!
So do you just hate the benefit-scrounging bogeymen, or do you think that helping people isn’t the government’s job?
No mate, you look up the outlandish claim and share it with the rest of us so we don’t think you’re chatting shit
Have you ever bought luxury goods such as most food or clothes? Well then, you paid VAT. I’d love to hear what stats you’re pulling out of your arse that say otherwise!
Everyone contributes to society by paying tax. Ordering people to do a specific job is not cool.
Copying from a comment I made when the last one defected, it’s really Labour accepts a free seat in the commons. Being principled is nice but ultimately meaningless if you have no power to enact those principles.
He … will not be running again as the MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich
So really it’s Labour accepts a free seat in the commons. Being principled is nice but ultimately meaningless if you have no power to enact those principles.
He … accepted a free invitation to the exclusive members-only R&A golf club in St Andrews last August
My god, what a monster!
Is it really crazy? Most users don’t give a shit about the tech or politics, they just want to go where the people they are interested in are, and most of them don’t care either! Bluesky is actively promoting itself as the new old Twitter, so that’s where people who want that are going.
Hate to break it to you but smoking is definitely physically addictive
