Observing the discourse. Low expectations, occasional surprises. It's 30s all over again :(

I am so sorry to hear that. And yeah, it's absolutely maddening what this service is right now. I wish MPs were forced to only use public health services - I bet they would markedly improve during a fee years.

Maybe we need to start a petition to make them say out loud they think they're better.

Teeth are luxury bones according to the NHS.

You don't have to own ones - i mean i didn't see this written down but this is how it works.

Not every household can vote.

Some are dragged though the mud.

Don't bundle the immigrants (unable to even protest in the GE) with, say, racists. We live in the same houses. It's enough to receive abuse form the governments and most parties, so I hope yours is blindness, not xenophobia.

By extention and association, they're labelling their voters as either extremists (which would match Labour's anti-Islamic and anti-immigrant hate) or as gullible morons.

Which is it?

(I wish Zack was a MP already. Gods, he wouldn't hold the unpleasant questions on PMQs)

Am *I* pushing the label? This alone proves you are not discussing in the good faith but simply -- lying.

You're hurting the cause you pretend to support.

You need to start reading. You keep talking but never read. You don't listen to us but keep bashing the same strawman.

No one here says it matters. No one here says it matters. No one.

But they will say it anyway

Do you finally understand or am I talking with exceptionally simple LLM?

No, she is not.

She is insisting that there's a difference in the process because both the rapists and their lawyers can't use the common lie.

Savita Halappanavar was the name or the Irish woman killed by the doctors and religious haters.

This is not an exaggeration, lack of abortion access kills women.

For the traditional Tories and current car right Labour?

We'll, it's beyond their comprehension, it's not evil, they're just so evil.

You may not have a chance OR the vote cast will not be the vote recorded.

And that's on top of the usual gerrymandering.

There's quite crazy amount of weird moves around voting in itself.

I thought it was pretty clear from the careful phrasing of my comment?

It did not exist, created today, the lie was real, an "organisation", etc.

Technology development has nothing to do with it.

Physical buttons are more expensive to design and install than screen place.

It's maddening that it's been proved over and over screen only controls are distracting, yet this crap is not banned.

Thanks EuroNCAP for fighting it.

26.02.2026 10:41 β€” πŸ‘ 6    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Of course. Created today. CLEARLY not by Labour.

The lie on the leaflet was real, Tactical Choice (an "organisation" formed AFTER Labour lied) does not (currently) endorse Labour.

The answer is very very simple: Labour WANTS Reform to win.

26.02.2026 10:01 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

That's my opinion as well.

Labour is ideologically closer to Reform than to Greens (!!!) but also they want Reform to win to later say "see? Told you!"

Labour working to destroy Labour is nothing new. At this point I'm wondering if it's just an example of the party hijacked.

Tbh at this point (see relentless promotion of the ultra right wing cases and attacks on the trans people for example), it should be separated from the archives and iPlayer, broadcasting part ripped to shreds and recreated as the independent broadcaster.

The brand is too damaged at this point.

There's little democracy left over here. They arrested him because he'll have to be the fall guy for the monarchy, to limit the splash zone.

He'll get the best lawyers for sure. Sick man or not, they can't let him fall too hard because everyone remembers the Crown was protecting him all that time.

LOL, I am arguing in the bad faith. Maybe come back after you read the information provided in the thread you're commenting in.

Take care!

Are you really THAT obtuse or you simply didn't read the links in this discussion? πŸ˜‚

Either way, bless you little heart.

No. That's a private and immutable data exfiltration.

Age verification would be a check whether the face looks old enough, eventually checking if it matches the ID.

Not that! WTH.

Notice: Persona doesn't do the age verification, they run your mugshot through multiple databases first.

And seeing how cosy they're with the current USA administration, rest assure some of this data will stay there forever.
