I think the main difference is that Johnson has always had aspirations of being bigger and greater. He will destroy anything if it means the chance to grab more power.

Farage is more like Sinn Fein, just a complete blocker to any progress for anyone else.

A private company getting private investment? I would expect that there are plenty of string attached to improve, otherwise it’ll be nationalised and the investors will lose their money.

If not, then it’s just a slight delay for 6 months until they run out of cash again.

I know plently of straight people who haven’t been in a proper long term relationship for 15 years.

Dating fucking sucks these days.

What’s that got to do with being gay?

I don’t understand how anyone can support Farage

Mr Farage’s trip was paid for by Christopher Harborne, a British tech investor based in Thailand.

It’s a guy who wants to interfere with international politics. He probably doesn’t believe in Farages politics, but he doesn’t live here so he doesn’t care. He just knows that Farage would give him a sweet deal, or the Tories would to try and gain his vote. £30k is the cost of making another million.

In November 2022, Harborne donated £1 million to The Office of Boris Johnson Ltd, one of the biggest donations ever made to an individual British politician.[

He’s scum.

How is learning C++ and QT not programming?

While this is true, learning some kind of programming - shell scripting or BASIC in olden days - is a very useful endeavor.

And learning sewing is useful, but I dont need it to wear clothes.

Yeah, not sure what’s going on but I had to open the archive link in a browser and do a hard refresh.

Pretty sure those are all things that Musk stands for.

The cybertruck is the pinnacle of funding for his shitty views.

All of Windows is malware. By default you have adverts in your start menu, you have pop ups (which is not the same thing as Windows Update, pop ups are a service provided by Explorer) which maliciously install unwanted web browsers.

You can’t support Trump and then claim that only a small part of his following is due to racist bigots.

You can’t support AI and claim that only a small part of it damages the atmosphere.

You can’t support Windows and claim that only part of it is malware.

Windows 100% enables and supports this nefarious behaviour. It’s the abusive spouse trapping you before beating the shit out of you for your own good.

Yeah, you are already running Windows.

If you still consider Windows Update malware then you completely missed the other 90% of your hostile environment.

Its odd to call Windows Update “Malware”.

No, I’m suggesting that any death will be announced as an attempt of the government to murder the elderly.

As it always has, and always will be.

It doesn’t even have to be due to it. If a pensioner doesn’t turn on their heating then its Labours fault even if the pensioner could have afforded it.

Or if the pensioner did have the heating on but it hadn’t been serviced and they still died from the cold, you know the rags will spin it. Labour cuts fuel allowance and old dears die. Its not sketchy phrasing, its predictable Tory spin.

The only reason I mention Frarage was the rest of the language in that piece was a bit off.

Ed Davey is alright, he is fun yet also completely sincere.

That Labour needs a Farage like face at the front to make it “fun”, or are you thinking more Ed Davey?

That’s high in calories.

What? Who introduced the Soft Drink levy?

You can’t say that anymore.

What are they wanting to say, that they feel they can’t?

You’ve used the wrong pronoun.

Oh, here we go.

As a thought experiment, would supporting a workers union be left wing, even if it was for coal miners?

If only Labour hadn’t rallied against it.

What’s being green got to do with being left wing?

This is really the problem with left/right, you can be green and Tory or Labour. Green has little to do with supporting workers rights or supporting the church and monarchy.

[Edit] To clarify, being against building and preferring green spaces is a green position and also a driver for NIMBYs.

Tories get played as fools by their own party constantly, the little old dears in church voting Tory aren’t supporting them because they keep moving more fash.

Oh god. I knew this Tory bot would be at it again.

Fuck off, I dont want the government throwing more money at the NHS for it to be passed to mandatory contracts with Tory chums.

I suppose you supported the billions spent on shitty COVID waste when it went via the NHS.
