Conservatives plan to bring back mandatory National Service
  • I can't wait for the Government to release hardened criminals from our overcrowded prisons years early so they can fill the them with these uncooperative draft-dodgers. Truly we are living in the best timeline.

  • Pro-Palestine demonstrators in Portugal assaulted by Israeli tourists
  • The two question zionists need to be explicitly asked are:

    1. Hypothetically, do they even believe it would ever be possible for Israel to commit genocide?
    2. If so, what characteristics would it need to have in order to qualify as genocide?

    If they answer no to the first one, they expose their complete bias and therefore unable to even argue their position effectively.

    If they answer yes, then they have to explain why the genocidal traits of what Israel are doing are not genocide, which might hopefully make them more introspective.

  • Eurovision loses almost a quarter of UK viewers compared with 2023
  • I suppose that is a fair comment and a possible reason, along with those who boycotted the event will have diminished all votes going to other acts.

    I still think there is a likelihood that Israel tried to play the game on public votes, because it would be a minimal spend for a big PR boost for them. Having a big Israeli company sponsor bought them a lot of the judge votes, then this move would have topped it up. It was just my initial thought when the 300+ points came up. The majority of the crowd did not take that well, along with all of the other stories about booing at the semis, the canned applause on the TV coverage to cover it up, the vote swing just seemed like too big a massive juxtaposition to global sentiment for it to carry weight.

  • Eurovision loses almost a quarter of UK viewers compared with 2023
  • I'm waiting on the news story uncovering the voting farms all over Europe funded by the Israeli government, wanting to parallel the Ukraine 2022 result to claim vindication and that they have the public's backing for their ongoing genocide of the Palestinians. Disgusting.

  • AI ‘apocalypse’ could take away almost 8m jobs in UK, says report
  • For many, the worry will be that it will take away thousands of high paying jobs and replace them with significantly lower salaried, or even minimum wage jobs. People have bought houses, had children, and generally made life plans based on the premise their vocation could support that lifestyle. The Government need to provide support and retraining to try and prevent these events because they are good for no-one except bad actors and vulture capitalists.

  • Princess of Wales says she is undergoing cancer treatment - BBC News
  • Someone getting cancer treatment in a timely manner should not be the news. A third of patients, over 100,000 people, currently wait over 62 days to start treatment. She managed to get care within about 4 weeks.

    She is a person and this will be a hard time for her personally, but far, far worse outcomes are being inflicted on people just as deserving of life-saving treatment due to their lowly standing in society.

  • Tories facing 1997-style general election wipeout
  • It seems there are some in the UK Government willing to game the Israel Gaza conflict to their electoral advantage. Not boots on ground, and thankfully its being called out by the opposition as wrong, but shows they are at least considering this in their deliberations for calling for a ceasefire. https://feddit.uk/post/9265224

  • Just fuck off
  • If an embryo is a fully-fledged person then about 51% of people transition naturally before even being born, which is why men have nipples. Let's see the right wing lobby tackle that dilemma in the US legislature. Do they want no rights to medical support for all men? What if they switch back to women?

  • Tories facing 1997-style general election wipeout
  • But it is all political. Houthis are funded by SA and Iran. They are attacking because of Israel's genocidal treatment of 2 million people in Gaza. I mean the Houthis are awful, as are Hamas, but there are lots of other awful groups doing awful stuff around the globe 24/7 that impact UK and US interests but don't prompt severe military retaliation. Russia tried to shoot down a RAF jet last year - nothing happened, diplomacy won out. So why the sudden need to approve these strikes on a weekend? Attacks have been happening for months. Why didn't they do an emergency recall to put the decision before Congress and HoC? They are playing with fire and they know it.

    I'm just saying that a war declaration against a much less well-armed militia in Yemen for a prolonged military campaign and something they can claim to be in aid of a 'good' cause could be convenient to both Biden and Sunak for a boost in the polls. It also comes with fewer risks as they arent a nuclear power like Russia, Iran, SA, or Israel (yay proxy war). Sadly, I wouldn't put it past either leader to have considered this.

  • Tories facing 1997-style general election wipeout
  • Anyone else think Biden and Sunak are incentivised to take US and UK put boots on the ground over Israel-Hamas-Houthi conflicts? Tories face wipe-out, and Biden faces a close call with Trump, and nothing helps guarantee re-election like being at war.
