Her being allowed to join Labour says just as much about them as it does the Tories. Labour being seen as a safe haven for very far right Tories is not a good look.

The latter is very much the case.
If I understand this proposal they’re not making smoking illegal for those born after 2009, just the purchase of tobacco products. As such, I can’t really see what this is going to achieve.
Why on earth are we still paying attention to this idiot and treating her opinions as if they are worthy of consideration?
“Above all, it was trying to win,” Osborne told me recently.
That’s it. That’s the Tory mentality. They don’t want to improve people’s lives, they simply want to rule.
Looks like yunohost with a nicer interface but less apps and less config options.
Maybe not right now, but when shareholders start demanding action over NSFW subs or subs that discuss illegal activities or subs that discuss the evils of capitalism or subs that just aren’t profitable and those subs start getting shuttered, then they will.
True, but let’s not forget that Lemmy instances are hosted by ordinary people without the finances to employ high price legal teams. If they receive a threatening letter from (for example) Sony or Disney they still have to either acquiesce or find a lot of money very quickly to simply argue their case.
They do, they just don’t see it as a problem.
Tories: He’s not a racist because he even though he said racist things including wishing she’d be shot, he’s apologised and therefore not a racist because that’s how it works. Thanks for the 10mil by the way.
There was a news article a day or two ago about a pensioner vandalising a statue of Thatcher. I feel the same way about this act as I did that - good on the perpetrator.
Unless a work of art is housed somewhere meant to cause reflection on all the actions a person took in their full context which includes making clear the problematic acts of the subject, they shouldn’t be somewhere clearly meant to commemorate them. And if they are, then they’re fair game.
Not all heroes use zimmer frames. But some do.
Sorry to be blunt but that’s utter rubbish. The 45% one has bishops in the house of lords - they help craft actual laws that actually affect us all.
Yeah that religion which comprises less than 7% of the UK population is clearly a massive threat. Whereas the one that runs at 45% of the population and has laws mandating its use in schools and legal institutions and has 26 members in the House Of Lords, the only country apart from Iran to appoint religious leaders to law making positions, is obviously no threat to liberty at all.
Is your British half about 500 years old?
Alternative headline: Police force known to be full of racists and rapists struggle to recruit people who aren’t, leading to an inability to do their job. Politicians who ignored these things for years blame public.
Lee Anderson? The MP Lee Anderson? The MP Lee Anderson who got caught faking an interview? The MP Lee Anderson who thinks the death penalty has a 100% success rate? The MP Lee Anderson who thinks people so destitute that they have to use food banks just can’t budget properly? The MP Lee Anderson who was investigated into claims he is antisemitic? That Lee Anderson?
You’re right, anyone can scrape Lemmy. But that’s not the issue (to me anyway) - Reddit have sold user data - user generated content. None of what they’re profiting from was generated or created by them. Are Reddit users who did generate all this content getting a slice of the profits?
When I post on here I know it’s all open for anyone to access but that’s true of any non walled garden space. I’ve accepted the fact that it’s going to get fed into the hungry maw of some AI behemoth or two.
What Reddit have done is make money for doing absolutely nothing based on content others have created like some sort of technological tapeworm feeding second hand. And along the way they killed off a lot of tools that users loved, moderators found made their jobs easier and people with a visual disability found vital. And all this so u/spez can live out his mini-Musk fantasies.
He’s right, they absolutely would.
And maybe that should trigger a reflection on the part of those Tories, that their party has lurched from very right wing to fascist-adjacent.
“Being more than twice as unpopular as Jacob Rees-Mogg takes some doing, frankly.”
Gold. Pure gold.
