I want them to get it together, but mostly cos there’s certain seats that Your Party will win or have a good chance of winning that the Greens won’t. We need a united front but so far it’s not looking great. Really needs to happen in good time before next year’s local elections

UK Politics@feddit.uk•UK unveils ‘carbon budget delivery plan’ to get back on track for net zero targets
3·8 days agoThank you for linking this. I’ve looked at every instance of “transport” in the document and it’s almost all about maintaining and renewing current infrastructure. Which is good, of course, but nowhere does it seem to talk about affordability. In the part where it talks about how they’re going to decarbonise the UK in regards to transport, again it just seems to talk about pushing for electric cars.
Correct me if I’m wrong and have missed things though. I’d be pleased to see that they’re actually going to make public transport affordable. It’s good to make what’s there better and expand it. But if most people still aren’t able to use it and having a car is cheaper, it’s not going to have nearly the outcome it should

UK Politics@feddit.uk•UK unveils ‘carbon budget delivery plan’ to get back on track for net zero targets
4·8 days agoAs expected, basically nothing on making public transport better and affordable. Just the usual focus on making having electric cars easier. Really going “all in” here Ed, sure

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•British Airways pulls Louis Theroux podcast sponsorship after Bob Vylan interviewEnglish
301·12 days agoAhh so you did know some other chants. Yes it’s no secret there’s animosity between some Middle Easterners and the US and Israel. What’s your point with all this?
I mean, that’s pretty damn queer-centric don’t you think? The actual and potential victims of fascism go way beyond just queer people. And there’s plenty flags, both now and historically, that are linked to antifascism. Most of them aren’t red, white and black
Plus I’ve always found the progress pride flag kinda ugly, but that’s just personal. As a queer person who’s into vexillology, a fair few of our flags have that problem. It’s also been used by so many capitalists to falsely give themselves the appearance of being egalitarian

World News@lemmy.world•Meth disguised as Canadian beer kills 21-year-old in New ZealandEnglish
48·24 days agoThis is fucking awful. Such a terrible, out of nowhere death
Have to say aswell, after reading the article, how stupid is his boss who gave him it? He was involved in the whole meth operation with these cans and decided to give away the excess ones that he thought only had beer in them. Why not just throw them away? Such an idiotic risk for no good reason. Was he high on the supply or something? Only thing I can think to explain why he’d do something as utterly careless as this. And now he’s in prison for 20 years because of it
I’m from the countryside in north of England and have lived in London at points for many years of my life. London is generally the worst for proper British food, in my experience. The best fry ups, fish and chips and all that you’re gunna get is in small towns or villages where the place itself is bare bones and no frills. Far cheaper too
That said, I’ll of course take most other cuisine over our own. I do like foods that require a good amount of seasoning and some actual spice. Our cuisine is really helped by those too as I see it. But most people here seem to draw the line at black pepper, sadly
All this needs is an amogus fella hidden in one of the blocks to add some more spice for future peoples

World News@lemmy.world•BREAKING: Israeli authorities have beaten Greta Thunberg, made her kiss Zionist flagEnglish
1·1 month agoMate can you actually read? I replied to your comment to push back against you expecting Greta to be standing up on a platform and immediately talking about all of this stuff to the world when she’s going to be very traumatised. And that she would be whether what the article says is true or not. That’s it. Nothing else
My whole point has been about that, not about the article and it’s accuracy. The only times I’ve said anything about the latter is cos you keep somehow not understanding that I’m not talking about the accuracy of the article and bringing it back up again. And even then the only thing I really said in response to that was pushing back against you saying The Canary is niche when it actually isn’t really. And also telling you to read it, seeing as you clearly hadn’t from what you’ve said in replies. You didn’t understand entirely what you were arguing against in the article and now you’re not understanding my point at all and have somehow gone off thinking I’m saying things that I’m not

World News@lemmy.world•BREAKING: Israeli authorities have beaten Greta Thunberg, made her kiss Zionist flagEnglish
11·1 month agoIf you can’t understand why someone wouldn’t go out in front of the world and make big statements in line with these claims, or any statement at all, immediately after a very traumatising experience then you really need to work on your empathy and understanding of basic human emotion. I understand your skepticism, to a point. I just gave a very obvious reason why she hasn’t talked about the harrowing things she went through in detail to the public straight away, whether they are as is said in this article or not. Even thinking about them is going to be very difficult for her, nevermind doing what you’re expecting
Edit: Taken out a sentence that isn’t relevant, as I thought you were the OP of this comment thread before

51·1 month agoWhere in the article does it say she gave testimony herself? Also it isn’t that much of a niche news site, it’s one of the biggest left wing news outlets in the UK, probably the second biggest after Novara

23·1 month agoDidn’t realise “plausible” was a synonym for ”true". Do you wanna stop strawmanning me or? And you are doing it to try and talk down to me, be real. You can be “precise” without using those terms. It has similar energy as someone weaponising psychology terms in a conflict in order to try and seem like the one in the right by virtue of being “more intelligent”

23·1 month agoOk so…how have I said anything that goes against that? I’ve not once said I believe it or that others should and that we should have solid evidence before we believe something. I like the throwing out philosophy terms you’re doing in order to try and talk down to me too

221·1 month agoYeah I’ve noticed a lot of the engagement to what’s said here is similar to r/worldnews a lot of the time. There just needs to be more communities on other instances so we don’t have to deal with the enlightened centrism that dominates reddit on here too and the libs can have their own space aswell

51·1 month agoHave you considered that maybe she’s very traumatised both physically and mentally at the moment and is recovering first before she steps out into the public eye again?

As the article says, it’s yet another of many reviews over the years that has shown that racism, and other forms of bigotry, are systemic in the Met. Which have been basically ignored every time. I’m sure in this time of increased general bigotry in the UK something will absolutely be done, after this one
