>Zimbabwean Ashley Simbarashe Maparura, 34, was before Northampton Crown Court this week on weapons charges, where it was revealed that **he was recently granted leave to remain** in the UK despite the horrifying list of offences he has admitted to. Clown country gonna clown. Record legal/illegal migration under the so-called “far right” party and our only alternatives are Neo-Blairites or open border Greens. British “democracy” in a nutshell.

Can you imagine if any other party was in government overseeing the completely unnecessary deaths of thousands upon thousands of Brits for the sake of a sub-1% increase to the staffing budget so people stop fleeing the service in droves? If they just stood back knowing this was happening and refused to lift a finger for the better part of 2 years?

I wouldn't be surprised. However, what I mean is that they fail to do their jobs because of an external motive/incentive. I don't know whether they're just ideologically-motivated, taking orders from the government which contradict their intended purpose, or taking monetary bribes. All I know is that they're acting as a ferry service for illegal immigrants when they should be keeping them out. That's corruption no matter how you slice it.

Not sure what else they are supposed to do in the heat. U.K. houses are badly built, and air conditioning is prohibitively expensive. Masses of Lidos and council pools have been shut down along with libraries. We don’t build heat shelters like France did during their killer heat waves. As usual in the U.K. the govt don’t care if you live in misery or drop dead of heat stroke. So they have had to make do as best they can like a lot of people in grinding poverty in broke Britain. I won’t condemn them or sneer at them.

He turned number 10 into a fucking disco during the pandemic. Imagine if that news had got out during the pandemic, there would have been serious riots. The level of irresponsibility to do something like that is mind boggling. That alone should answer your question. Also I was at Oxford at the same time as Johnson, Mogg, Cameron etc. Johnson was a celebrity there, everyone had heard of him. Not particularly unusual because public school kids all know each other before they get to Oxford. But I wasn't even in a University college and knew about him. Do a google search for Johnson and the Bullingdon club to find out some of the stuff they got up to. Theres even a feature film based on it, I think Riot Club.

It's probably because you are used to picking on people that fold over which is exactly what you get in a lot of work places. It's easy to get promoted and excel when you bully and snake out your peers at every opportunity. I personally couldn't bully someone as I think psychologically they are cowards, but I have a strong character. Not all of us do.

Fairly sure that a massive portion of the price of tobacco is tax. That means if everyone quit smoking the £11bn would just have to be extracted by applying additional tax to other products. Basically the money would still disappear from local communities and be tossed into the giant pit of incompetence that we call our government.

The damage has already been done. Just take a look at the ONS data on ethnicity of various places then take a look at school students with English as second language. "But why is this a problem, are you just raciiiist?!?!" Would anybody be this flippent if it was an ethnic minority this was happening to? In a couple of generations the English will no longer be a majority in their own nation. I sometimes think that it's a kind of sick revenge against the British for empire, England and it's people must die for their great great grandfathers sins

TIL not wanting to waste money on transport, increase emissions by travelling and wanting a better work life balance means I need to grow up… If you’re working a desk job it makes no difference whether you sit on your ass in an office building or in your home office. One saves people money and is better for the environment the other wastes hours a day commuting that you could be spending relaxing.

Charge higher fees then. I hate the argument that the foreign people paying more is why our country has universities. We had universities long before they were here, and it used to work. We generated world class thinkers, scientists, workers, and inventors. I feel like there is a middle ground between only Lords and higher class going to uni like in the past, and millions of people getting stupid degrees in useless shit that we all have to pay for. Let's dial it back a bit towards teaching topics that require the university degree to perform. Then move out towards degrees that help with critical thinking and abstract thought, which can still help with generating ideas and new ways of working. If money and spaces are so limited, we need to go back to using universities as a step into future work, not just a standard thing that everyone does before they get an unrelated job. That might get spending under control.

More homes in London basically translates to more ugly as sin high rise money laundering scams where 90% will be completely unaffordable to the average Joe anyway and owned by offshore companies wanting to hide money in the UK. Articles like this always talk about building more as though that's the only thing that matters. How about building afforable or decent houses that people actually want to live in? Houses in the last twenty years, for the overwhelming majority, look like they were designed by an architect who graduated with a first in Lego and hates everyone who lives in anything they build.

>The other one who said the commission- does he expect brokers to work for free?  No one expects the broker to work for free. But you don't need a PhD in behavioural economics to understand that, if a service is chosen by a party which not only doesn't pay the bill, but gets a cut, then the result will be inflated prices. The problem here is not that the broker gets a commission - it is that insurance commissions are shared between brokers and managing agents/freeholders. But the bill is paid by the leaseholders. This creates an incentive to choose the more expensive policy, if it pays a higher commission. And what can the leaseholders do? Realistically, suck it up.

I'm nearly 50, and I was taught in school kilos for weights and meters for lengths. Yes miles are on my car, but so are the signs so what can I do about it? For smaller sizes it's metric, and unlike the Yanks, I can use either. I'm happy with metric though, it's so much easier to use. 100ml of water is also 100g in weight. How simple do you need it and dealing with fractions of it? I don't criticise the Yanks though- I just pity them.

It depends on how you classify left and right. We're had Tories so long that what classifies as left is so skewed. Also, in these times we need a lot more 'left' policies. Controlling housing, making taking over private services like trains, supporting the people, taxing profiteering from corporations. These kinds of things have gone out of control lately and need to be reigned in, so I'm that sense I think most people support this kind of stuff. Starmers policies would be considered right wing years ago...

Seems we’ve got the American brain rot where everyone sees themselves as becoming “the rich”. No one wants to tax your piddling little salary. What needs taxing are the rich - the actual rich. The type of rich where your tax rate is 0% because your legal team gives you specific instructions about which loopholes to squeeze through and which offshore tax haven to use. We don’t have a trickle down economy - we have a vacuum up economy. The rich get perpetually richer, the money isn’t being cycled, it’s being hoarded. Unless that stops then we can expect nothing but the poor becoming poorer and the rich getting richer.
