You know, they don't actually check the address or name you put in when registering for a nectar card. Imagine what would happen if enough people accidentally put the wrong details in there - I can't imagine the data would be worth as much if it's mostly nonsense.
... unintentionally endorsing collective punishment.
It's the sort of thing he could clarify in an apology I think.
I think he kinda did tbh.
I think the best you can say he didn't do it on purpose. He clearly had a soundbite ('Isreal has a right to defend itself within international law'), but maybe he didn't actually listen to the question before using it?
Gaza is a de facto open-air prison
Honestly, I think an apology will be on the way. I think he tried to "soundbite" himself through an interview without really listening to the question or thinking about how it sounded.
Brexit hasn't done us any favours, but I don't really see what it has to do directly with the scrappage of HS2 phase 2?
At some point though, surely humanity and justice have to take precedence over politicking - I don't think the need to tiptoe around issues like that is a good enough reason for excusing the collective punishment of 2 million people.
Nothing someone says before the word "but" really counts. I'm glad this tragedy is doing wonders for your political faction.
I think they're a necessary evil, nothing ruins multiplayer more than cheats.
Is this an equilavant of stolen valour but for DJs?
Ah okay, what Stamer's leadership is doing is underhanded and an abuse of power, but at least they're doing it for the 'right reasons'.
He's very much sliding down the alt right pipeline now
Those things that aren't really fixed to one end of the polictal spectrum, sounds alot like the silicon valley VC lot too
Honestly, this sounds more like you just don't like children.
Can people please stop asking Tony Blair for his opinions?
That’s how you get disasters like unusable PPE, flammable clading or concrete that crumbles to dust.
They were the result of not spending enough money, and going for the cheapest options available (then using them way beyond their intended lifespan in the case of RAAC), not overinvestment.
But I don't want to draw out an argument, so let's just agree to disagree. I hope you're right though.
I also don’t think it’s true that they’re not going to do a lot in office.
I feel if you think this you're in some kind of denial. They've rolled back on so much...
And the commitments (if that's the right word) they do have are so wishy-washy and toothless. For example the housebuilding one is that they'll let developers build on more green belt and increase housing targets, no talk of investment of any kind - I'm sorry that's not a serious policy! That's like homoeopathy for policies! Green energy is much the same now that they've postponed (i.e. canned) the £28 billion green investment plan.
I guess we'll see on workers' rights, but as said in the article you've linked, a lot of the unions are dissatisfied with labour on that front which isn't really a good sign for a big, serious commitment.
Winning and then doing almost nothing to fix the problems doesn't really help the rest of us though.
What we're banking on then is that they're actually misleading everyone right now and are actually going to do quite at lot once in office. But the question is whether that's actually likely or not...
Even if it was the case - it's not exactly a symptom of a health democracy...
