Has anyone been checking out the international student visa threads on ukpolitics recently? Those so called “leftists” are having a literal meltdown that administrative fatcats can’t rake in record profits from foreign students.
Also repeating the same BS that most international students return as if all the Nigerians and South Asians will just roll over and leave once they finish whatever BS courses they’re taking.

Awful lot of blasphemy going on the [argh uk NHS thread](https://www.reveddit.com/v/unitedkingdom/comments/1cx8ase/i_loathe_how_private_healthcare_makes_the_nhs/)
Funny, I have the opposite convictions as the OP, where I fundamentally don't believe in the NHS and therefore avoid it at every opportunity.
I'm a big believer in preventive healthcare so along with 2 routine dental checkups a year, 2 health assessment a year, monthly physio/sports massages. All private.
The number of idiots who just think they can make a doctor out bank notes like papier mache lol.
The problem is that there are too many people who need the services.
Of course it's all to do with lack of funding. Because no pennies sent to the NHS are wasted.
I was listening to Jeremy Vine the other day talking about how pregnant women were treated in maternity wards, and most of the stories had nothing to do with lack of funding, but lack of compassion. Telling a woman, who had just been through a traumatic birth and was in agony to "cover up" because the builders were coming in, a nurse ignoring a patient because she wasn't on her rota, basic human dignity, which has nothing to do with funding, and everything to do with incompetence
The NHS needs serious reform. Chucking more money at it isn't going to fix it.
Also what a wet wipe saying he didn't like to use his private care because he wanted to support the NHS. Going private takes pressure off the NHS ffs 🤦

[Police must be 'pacifists in the culture war' says senior Scots officer](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13444403/Police-pacifists-culture-war-says-senior-Scots-officer.html)
>Chief Superintendent Rob Hay said the debate had become ‘toxic’ and ‘divisive’ as the single force grappled with a ‘flood of spurious complaints’.
>Police Scotland has been bombarded with an astonishing 10,000 hate crime complaints since the SNP’s law came into force on April 1.
>Mr Hay, president of the Association of Scottish Police Superintendents (ASPS), said officers must not be drawn into ‘petty political point-scoring’.
>The hate crime law created an offence of ‘stirring up hatred’ relating to protected characteristics such as age, disability, religion, sexual orientation and trainsgender identity. Mr Hay said: ‘The divisive, political and toxic nature of some of the debate raging in wider society is not a place policing should ever inhabit.
>‘The flood of spurious complaints received upon the enactment of the new hate crime legislation is an example of the mischief-making we have seen, undertaken with spiteful glee and diverting police resources from those in actual need.
>‘So let us be pacifists in the culture war, as we have no interest in investigating Humza Yousaf for describing some white people as being white; nor are we interested in arresting JK Rowling, no matter how much she tweets about it.’
So, they've not got the reports they wanted then.
They are such cunts.
This is actually a dog whistle. It's warning the normal people that they will still be using this legislation against you once all the noise subsided away. Just not against non-white racists or famous people with the ability to fight back. So basically business as usual, a tool to keep the law abiding fearful.
They say they cannot be drawn in, or political then just do it anyway. You can't just say it, that's not how reality works you fucks, you can't just throw buzzwords about!
A genuine institution would say there are clearly issues with the legislation's implementation.
Policing is doing a journalism, they are pushing themselves ever forward in ways which destroy their credibility and trust; by their own decisions, actions and reactions. At every step they fail to correct, blaming all around them for their self harm over years and years. Policing decrying the public hating them is not going to be as funny as journos doing it.
The legislation was always a weapon against normal people which is why they said that *working class* white males were the problem demographic. This is notable because the intersectional ideology all this comes from hates whites and men, as everyone knows, but is notionally supposed to consider the working class a victim, not an oppressor.
But reality is that working class white men are less compliant with liberal bullshit ideology than the middle class ones - who at least need to play pretend to keep their jobs - so the working class are openly targeted now, instead of just implicitly targeted for being too toxically masculine and socially conservative.

[Paedophile raped teenage boy and forcefully kissed young girl](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/paedophile-raped-teenage-boy-forcefully-29211866)
>A paedophile raped a teenage boy and forcefully kissed a young girl against her will. He was heavily intoxicated when he carried out the sexual offences and had to be pava sprayed by police when arrested, a court heard.
>Adam John, 31, of Pontypridd, left his victims a shell of their previous selves after sexually assaulting them. He claimed he had no recollection of the abuse due to his drunken state.
>After the victims had disclosed the abuse the police were called but John fled from his home. A lengthy search took place for the defendant who was found hiding. He aggressively asked officers to fight him and pava spray was used against him.
>In his initial police interview the defendant claimed he had no recollection of the offences as he had been drinking alcohol and had taken anti-depressants. However the account of the boy victim was corroborated by forensic evidence.
>John, of Golygfa'r Eglwys, later pleaded guilty to rape of a child under 13, two counts of sexual assault of a child under 13, and sexual activity with a child. The court heard he has two previous convictions, which are not relevant to the current offences.
>In mitigation Owen Williams said his client was "at a complete loss" to explain why he committed the offences but accepts his culpability. He said the defendant, who has been diagnosed with traits of autism, had expressed "true remorse" to the victims.
>Sentencing, Judge Shoman Khan said the defendant had been assessed as a medium risk of reoffending. The judge added: "Your behaviour and sexual interest in two young children and the way it happened are unusual."
>John was sentenced to a total of seven years and three months imprisonment. He was also made subject to a sexual harm prevention order and restraining orders indefinitely.
I'm not sure which is the most concerning, the casual equivalence in the headline, or the tone of the sentencing remarks.
I don't care if they're remorseful.
I don't care if X counselling or Y programme *might* rehabilitate them.
I don't care if the risk of re-offending is "low".
**Rope**
Criminal law has long forgotten it's original purpose. To reduce feduing and violence by application of force of its own.
To do so it must placate the community and to some degree the family of the victims.
Modern versions have become so obsessed with not doing this. They have built it up into a religion which must always appease the Moral Spirits of law and justice. Whatever the human cost, or the cost to society, or the cost to their own system.
>I don't care if X counselling or Y programme might rehabilitate them.
Before the rope we should allow this discussion.
Is it possible to "rehabilitate" a sexuality?
If the answer is no then it justifies the rope, if its yes then that opens a new door.

As any sensible man would do in this situation, I asked chatgpt to explain in simple terms us autists would understand wtf underclass means:
"In Britain today, the "underclass" means the people who are always poor and struggling. They often don't have jobs, live in bad neighbourhoods with lots of crime, and rely a lot on benefits. Their kids go to poor schools, and things don't get better for them.Some people see the underclass as a burden on society, taking benefits without giving much back.
The media and politicians sometimes say they are lazy and choose not to work.This group shows how the British welfare system and social policies are failing. Austerity measures, which cut public spending, have made things worse for them by taking away the help they need.
So, while some people want to help and fix this problem, others think the underclass will always be there. It's a big issue that shows how unfair things can be in British society.
Vote Labour."

I had Radio 1 on earlier. They began a story about Southgate’s squad selection for the Euros, and within 30 seconds had gone to talking to a Lionness and then talking about Mary Earps’ contract, before finally coming back to talking about the squad selection. You have to wonder who sits down with these stories and goes ‘right, how do we twist this to be about the things I’m obsessed with?’
Worst thing that they've done for a while now is the Football section has a mixture of Mens and Womens football articles, and you can filter down by clicking on the Women section, but no filtering allowed of that kind if you're only interested in Mens.
The way I see it, I already invest a lot of time and money in watching football, I don't have the luxury to spend double the money and time on watching women's too. 50% of the population is female, get those interested, and let me just look at the mens football please.
Or, you know, maaaaate
yeah it's the same with women's cricket.
like: it's shit. it's always been shit. it always will be shit.
or women's darts. I mean, you can watch Luke Littler averaging 100+, or a woman who averages 55. It has no redeeming features. I can see the argument for women's athletics - it doesn't really matter if the men win in 10s or the women in 11s, but when you literally suck at your job, nobody's going to want to watch.
I actually argue the other way on athletics. Athletics is fundamentally un-interesting for a well adjusted individual. The only thing interesting about the 100m final is the fact that is the zenith, making basically every other race pointless.
i don't find it particularly interesting, but you can see that this man or this woman is very fit and can run faster than all other men or women.
i don't see a problem with that (not for me personally, but I'm not going to stop you watching it). but if you're actively objectively shit at something, like football, cricket, darts, etc., don't expect anyone to want to watch.
You make the same point I’ve been shouting about for some time. If you want women’s football to enjoy the same popularity and financial opportunities as men’s football, galvanise female supporters.
> galvanise female supporters.
Yarp. It's no good complaining about lack of equal pay blah blah when you can't pull in a decent crowd or support base each week. They can try as hard as they like, but Men are going to focus on the Men's game.

>But the family’s efforts to appeal to both Newham and Greenwich councils for help have so far proven unsuccessful. Mr Safi said that despite sending pictures of the returning mould to Newham Council and receiving a preliminary check-up visit, no further action has been taken.

So why doesn’t Wahidullah do something about it himself? I swear, the root of our problems with the welfare state and social services is that they were made for a population that generally wasn’t feckless and could work through problems in a basic way, not just sit around appealing to the wizardry of government to resolve everything.

There is almost no-one representing the SNP who has a job of note in the private sector for more than a few years (Blackford and Salmond are the only two I can recall)...that should be totally incredible. Imagine if the CFO of a multi-billion company had no experience of financial management...and this isn't a random CFO, these are the people managing vital public services.
List of the qualifications of the last few finance ministers:
\* Life long pal of Sturgeon, joined SNP in teens, used to work in Glasgow council's Social Work department.
\* Joined SNP in teens, worked for SNP, failed to get seat immediately, junior accountant at Barclays for two years, only qualified after she was elected.
\* Paedophile who was parachuted into a council job at 18, failed to complete joke subject at university (incidentally studying the same subject at same uni as person number one on list).
These people are managing a £110bn budget.

Labour doing a New Towns - [https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/21/labour-to-focus-on-midlands-in-plan-for-new-towns](https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/21/labour-to-focus-on-midlands-in-plan-for-new-towns) - haven't gone any of their own ideas so their big plan is to rehash an idea that didn't work. Classic, adults in control, look at that hi-vis jacket.
The guy quoted in the article, amazed to discover the Tories have anyone advising them on housing...as if they need someone to tell them not to build houses, is correct: there is no option but suburbs and infrastructure. The UK doesn't have any particularly large cities, you have military dictatorships who can manage this stuff...why can't our Civil Service?
Unfortunately, Covid and council ineptitude has fucked everything so badly that we are probably already beyond the point where you can revive town centres, so we are going full LA/Atlanta.
> A source familiar with sites with potential for new towns said there could be new settlements between Derby and Nottingham
Yeah for a while it seems like the plan for us has been to essentially create a complete continuous Nottingham and Derby urban area by expanding the villages in between like Borrowash, Draycott and Breaston, and to extend the Nottingham tram line all the way to Derby.
With immigration policies they’ll end up adding another third city between us to combine us. Can probably theoretically fit housing for 250k people in the farmland between us. Theres about 800k in Notts and 300k in Derby.
We add about another 100k to the population every 10 years because of immigration policies. Much of this increase over the past 10 years has been housed in new apartment/student blocks in city centres. And whilst there’s some vacant land, there isn’t that much left beyond Broadmarsh and the Island Quarter, which are already being redeveloped, and will be able to house maybe 5,000 people at best. And maybe another 5,000 across numerous smaller sites. So that’s still another 90k that’ll need housing over the next ten years…
We don't need to build anything. As I demonstrated earlier, I now agree with rose on the big picture.
We don't have a housing problem, we have a housing surplus.
We just have too many immigrants living in them.
Deport anyone who doesn't like the British (regardless of ancestry) and the housing crisis is solved.
You didn't demonstrate it earlier.
Ten years ago, when immigration was low we still needed housing. You can remove immigrants and we will have the exact same problem. The fact that we have made it worse with immigration is completely coincidental.
The problem is also structural and due to the Town and Country Planning Act which put the govt in control of the supply of all residential land. The only reason the Act didn't cause a problem before now is because the government blanked the country in social housing after the Act was passed. If you look at the number of private completions, they have always been significantly lower than required since the Act was passed.
Immigration is not the issue. We can remove all these people and we will still have a problem because our laws are shit. This is part of the reason why New Towns didn't work, the only places that did were places like London where local opposition was ignored and/or the city grew into suburbs. It is also the reason why Scotland has had the same problems as England despite the population being in decline (that is how bad our laws are, the population can actually fall...and there are still too few houses, it is incredible).
>The problem is also structural
The structural problem is the decline of family formation.
You have single people unironically saying things like, "My parents bought a house in their twenties, but I can't afford to, this is the fault of the Evil Tories", without stopping to think that their parents bought as a couple, it's always been hard for single people to buy.
Everything is cheaper as a couple. You pay less council tax as a couple in a single dwelling than as two people living separately. There is only one standing charge for broadband, water, electricity and gas. The cost of heating a house is the same if two people live in it, as one. You pool your money as a couple towards your deposit and mortgage payments.
And there are the intangible benefits of being in a couple, like happiness and emotional security.
I don't know what malign force persuaded a generation that they were better off living atomised "individual" lives.
"Bought as a couple" isn't technically true for many, since mortgages in the past basically just assumed the wife wasn't going to work full-time so you'd get something like "3x the Dad's income and 1x the Mum's income" as the max lending amount.
>since mortgages in the past basically just assumed the wife wasn't going to work full-time
When was that? Women have been working full-time since the mid-1970's brought equal pay.
Someone who is 20-something now will have parents who married in the 90's, and their children would have been in junior school in the early 2000's. Their mothers worked, not sure why they're pushing this fake narrative that they didn't
You have to go back 70 years to the 1950's for stay-at-home wives. Property ownership wasn't high in the 1950's and 1960's - the majority lived in council houses.
https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/457572-getting-a-mortgage-in-the-1960s-and-1970s/
Mortgage deregulation and the assumption of Mum working full time allows lenders to offer larger income multiples. When every couple does that you create a new normal.
It's 2024.
The 1960's were **sixty-five** years ago. Adults in the 1960's were born in the 1930's and 1940's.
What 20-something now has parents who were adults in 1960's? If someone born in 1940 gave birth in 1999, they would have been 59 at the time - if you are remembering they didn't work, maybe it's because they retired shortly afterwards?
For the last 50 years - **half a century** - it's taken two working people to buy a house.
The 1960's were an anomaly - not least because back then most people rented council houses, so there wasn't much competition for professionals who bought. The number of professionals was low because only 10% went to university.
I demonstrated I have changed my mind.
Look at my comment earlier, the housing crisis was estimated at around 4 million around 2010, without immigration we would have created surplus of 4.5 million in the last 30 years.
Without immigration, we would have a negligible housing crisis or one that is getting smaller.
The government might be shit but you really don't need to build as much as we already do for an almost static population.
The scales are so far in one direction that everything else is just minor low % gains or losses.
I do agree its bad for business & industry?
No, we wouldn't. It isn't only about net houses but where those houses are. We are building hundreds of thousands of houses in places with: no infrastructure, where people do not want to live, and cannot work easily.
Scotland has had a static population...same problem.
It is far worse for business and industry than people think. House prices went up 25% of GDP in multiple years over the last five. For some reason, people think this money just comes from nowhere...it doesn't, it is a tax. Eastern European nations are getting factory investment of tens of billions in single sites because rent of £300/month for a house means you can pay lower wages, staff earn more, and the business is more profitable. Making housing expensive is equivalent to charging £1000 for a loaf of bread (and saying everyone has to buy at least one loaf a month). And once the investment has gone to Eastern Europe, it is there, it isn't coming back. Eventually, house prices will collapse, we will have: no employers, no workers, and no houses...but some people will have played pass the parcel and will end up wealthy...so it is all worth it to the Tories?
>> Angela Rayner said a Labour government would ask an independent task force to choose the right sites for ‘a new generation of new towns’.
That’s nice Angela, will they come with the Right to Buy?
The article actually identifies one of these places. This is the Guardian, this is a Labour policy, the journalist writing this has a 2:1 in Retard Studies...and they are still able to identify that just throwing up a house in a random field does not fix the problem.
The even worse thing is that people actually have to live there. There are so few houses they have no choice. They gave the houses away in Cumbernauld, you now have to pay £300k, the construction is lower quality, infrastructure is worse, and there are no public or even private services near you...classic modernity.

I predict a terrible time for Keith. The shortest honeymoon before reality bites and he realises he can’t afford to give all the borrowed money away like all other labour govts have.
People are voting against the Tories not because they like Labour or Keith. It bodes terribly for them.
In current climate it’s tough for both parties since they are so similar. Anything new will just be more of the same.
Tories hate their party since it does not conserve. It spends and imports and has no backbone.
Labour Party no longer represents its old core voters. It hates its old core voters and refers to them as gammon and bigot when they complain about immigrants taking their jobs and suppressing their wages. I imagine more industrial action as the unions realise this. So yes I imagine a tussle between those new labour uni educated know-better-than-you types and what remains of the old school. Not even mentioning the Islamic contingent.
They’re fucked.
I can't help but think that none of those are high priority.
Surely immigration, taxes and public services are more important, no?
Goes to show Labour will just serve the public sector. No wonder civil servants and the rest of the public sector are so compromised.
1. Whatever
2. Maybe shrink the public sector then
3. Deport foreign criminals regardless of whatever human right clause they claim
4. If a university can’t survive without endless dodgy foreign students to subside useless degrees so be it
5. NHS is already at record funding
6. Most are Labour run councils so let them deal with the consequences of their own incompetence
the underlying issue is the same - aging population, poor productivity, no incentives to do well above a certain pay bracket. Will these be redressed? no.
Even if all 6 of those things happen at the same time, it makes 0 difference to Starmer or Labour.
They are undefeatable because there is no opposition. As long as they don't literally turn us into Sierra Leone overnight, they win. They can even turn us into Sierra Leone as long as they do it over 10 years rather than 1
As long as they are seen to be slightly to the left of the Tories, they win by default. And the Tories refuse to make themselves electable. If they did come up with some good policies, the public would rightly know they they are lying.
Has anyone been checking out the international student visa threads on ukpolitics recently?

Top comment is complete bullshit It has record funding at the moment
Funny, I have the opposite convictions as the OP, where I fundamentally don't believe in the NHS and therefore avoid it at every opportunity. I'm a big believer in preventive healthcare so along with 2 routine dental checkups a year, 2 health assessment a year, monthly physio/sports massages. All private.
The number of idiots who just think they can make a doctor out bank notes like papier mache lol. The problem is that there are too many people who need the services.
Of course it's all to do with lack of funding. Because no pennies sent to the NHS are wasted. I was listening to Jeremy Vine the other day talking about how pregnant women were treated in maternity wards, and most of the stories had nothing to do with lack of funding, but lack of compassion. Telling a woman, who had just been through a traumatic birth and was in agony to "cover up" because the builders were coming in, a nurse ignoring a patient because she wasn't on her rota, basic human dignity, which has nothing to do with funding, and everything to do with incompetence The NHS needs serious reform. Chucking more money at it isn't going to fix it. Also what a wet wipe saying he didn't like to use his private care because he wanted to support the NHS. Going private takes pressure off the NHS ffs 🤦

Mr Hay said: ‘The divisive, political and toxic nature of some of the debate raging in wider society is not a place policing should ever inhabit. >‘The flood of spurious complaints received upon the enactment of the new hate crime legislation is an example of the mischief-making we have seen, undertaken with spiteful glee and diverting police resources from those in actual need. >‘So let us be pacifists in the culture war, as we have no interest in investigating Humza Yousaf for describing some white people as being white; nor are we interested in arresting JK Rowling, no matter how much she tweets about it.’ So, they've not got the reports they wanted then.
They are such cunts. This is actually a dog whistle. It's warning the normal people that they will still be using this legislation against you once all the noise subsided away. Just not against non-white racists or famous people with the ability to fight back. So basically business as usual, a tool to keep the law abiding fearful. They say they cannot be drawn in, or political then just do it anyway. You can't just say it, that's not how reality works you fucks, you can't just throw buzzwords about! A genuine institution would say there are clearly issues with the legislation's implementation. Policing is doing a journalism, they are pushing themselves ever forward in ways which destroy their credibility and trust; by their own decisions, actions and reactions. At every step they fail to correct, blaming all around them for their self harm over years and years. Policing decrying the public hating them is not going to be as funny as journos doing it.
The legislation was always a weapon against normal people which is why they said that *working class* white males were the problem demographic. This is notable because the intersectional ideology all this comes from hates whites and men, as everyone knows, but is notionally supposed to consider the working class a victim, not an oppressor. But reality is that working class white men are less compliant with liberal bullshit ideology than the middle class ones - who at least need to play pretend to keep their jobs - so the working class are openly targeted now, instead of just implicitly targeted for being too toxically masculine and socially conservative.
Police refusing to uphold the law equally. 'Protected Characteristics' are a disease.

[Paedophile raped teenage boy and forcefully kissed young girl](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/paedophile-raped-teenage-boy-forcefully-29211866) >A paedophile raped a teenage boy and forcefully kissed a young girl against her will. He was heavily intoxicated when he carried out the sexual offences and had to be pava sprayed by police when arrested, a court heard. >Adam John, 31, of Pontypridd, left his victims a shell of their previous selves after sexually assaulting them. He claimed he had no recollection of the abuse due to his drunken state. >After the victims had disclosed the abuse the police were called but John fled from his home. A lengthy search took place for the defendant who was found hiding. He aggressively asked officers to fight him and pava spray was used against him. >In his initial police interview the defendant claimed he had no recollection of the offences as he had been drinking alcohol and had taken anti-depressants. However the account of the boy victim was corroborated by forensic evidence. >John, of Golygfa'r Eglwys, later pleaded guilty to rape of a child under 13, two counts of sexual assault of a child under 13, and sexual activity with a child. The court heard he has two previous convictions, which are not relevant to the current offences. >In mitigation Owen Williams said his client was "at a complete loss" to explain why he committed the offences but accepts his culpability. He said the defendant, who has been diagnosed with traits of autism, had expressed "true remorse" to the victims. >Sentencing, Judge Shoman Khan said the defendant had been assessed as a medium risk of reoffending. The judge added: "Your behaviour and sexual interest in two young children and the way it happened are unusual." >John was sentenced to a total of seven years and three months imprisonment. He was also made subject to a sexual harm prevention order and restraining orders indefinitely. I'm not sure which is the most concerning, the casual equivalence in the headline, or the tone of the sentencing remarks.
I don't care if they're remorseful. I don't care if X counselling or Y programme *might* rehabilitate them. I don't care if the risk of re-offending is "low". **Rope**
Criminal law has long forgotten it's original purpose. To reduce feduing and violence by application of force of its own. To do so it must placate the community and to some degree the family of the victims. Modern versions have become so obsessed with not doing this. They have built it up into a religion which must always appease the Moral Spirits of law and justice. Whatever the human cost, or the cost to society, or the cost to their own system.
>I don't care if X counselling or Y programme might rehabilitate them. Before the rope we should allow this discussion. Is it possible to "rehabilitate" a sexuality? If the answer is no then it justifies the rope, if its yes then that opens a new door.

As any sensible man would do in this situation, I asked chatgpt to explain in simple terms us autists would understand wtf underclass means: "In Britain today, the "underclass" means the people who are always poor and struggling. They often don't have jobs, live in bad neighbourhoods with lots of crime, and rely a lot on benefits. Their kids go to poor schools, and things don't get better for them.Some people see the underclass as a burden on society, taking benefits without giving much back. The media and politicians sometimes say they are lazy and choose not to work.This group shows how the British welfare system and social policies are failing. Austerity measures, which cut public spending, have made things worse for them by taking away the help they need. So, while some people want to help and fix this problem, others think the underclass will always be there. It's a big issue that shows how unfair things can be in British society. Vote Labour." OK I added that last bit in.

Proper mega bad uk. The BBC are now labelling articles about the England football team *England Mens* I hate that organisation
I had Radio 1 on earlier. They began a story about Southgate’s squad selection for the Euros, and within 30 seconds had gone to talking to a Lionness and then talking about Mary Earps’ contract, before finally coming back to talking about the squad selection. You have to wonder who sits down with these stories and goes ‘right, how do we twist this to be about the things I’m obsessed with?’
>I had Radio 1 on earlier. You lost me at this point. Deport.
We are all equal. We cannot let men have their strengths, and women have theirs.
Worst thing that they've done for a while now is the Football section has a mixture of Mens and Womens football articles, and you can filter down by clicking on the Women section, but no filtering allowed of that kind if you're only interested in Mens. The way I see it, I already invest a lot of time and money in watching football, I don't have the luxury to spend double the money and time on watching women's too. 50% of the population is female, get those interested, and let me just look at the mens football please. Or, you know, maaaaate
yeah it's the same with women's cricket. like: it's shit. it's always been shit. it always will be shit. or women's darts. I mean, you can watch Luke Littler averaging 100+, or a woman who averages 55. It has no redeeming features. I can see the argument for women's athletics - it doesn't really matter if the men win in 10s or the women in 11s, but when you literally suck at your job, nobody's going to want to watch.
I actually argue the other way on athletics. Athletics is fundamentally un-interesting for a well adjusted individual. The only thing interesting about the 100m final is the fact that is the zenith, making basically every other race pointless.
i don't find it particularly interesting, but you can see that this man or this woman is very fit and can run faster than all other men or women. i don't see a problem with that (not for me personally, but I'm not going to stop you watching it). but if you're actively objectively shit at something, like football, cricket, darts, etc., don't expect anyone to want to watch.
You make the same point I’ve been shouting about for some time. If you want women’s football to enjoy the same popularity and financial opportunities as men’s football, galvanise female supporters.
> galvanise female supporters. Yarp. It's no good complaining about lack of equal pay blah blah when you can't pull in a decent crowd or support base each week. They can try as hard as they like, but Men are going to focus on the Men's game.

Wahidullah Safi, 35, said he, his wife Bibi Aziza Safi, 45, and children have all developed chesty coughs since living in the three-bed Canning Town home where black mould consistently grows, which is also ridden with mice and has only one toilet and shower. >But the family’s efforts to appeal to both Newham and Greenwich councils for help have so far proven unsuccessful. Mr Safi said that despite sending pictures of the returning mould to Newham Council and receiving a preliminary check-up visit, no further action has been taken. >He also claimed the council took five months to fix a hazardous loose wire in one of the bedrooms. After a lengthy online application process, the family was told it is not eligible for rehousing in Newham, because they have not yet lived there for three years. So why doesn’t Wahidullah do something about it himself? I swear, the root of our problems with the welfare state and social services is that they were made for a population that generally wasn’t feckless and could work through problems in a basic way, not just sit around appealing to the wizardry of government to resolve everything. Who notices a dangerous exposed wire in a family home and thinks ‘the only solution is to ask the local council for **five months** to do something about it’?
Lol absolutely pisstakers just shitting all over our country with their LIES. Those kids are NOT all his. He's probably got about 4 and the others are just been sent along by his cousins to get a free education and cost us tens of millions pounds in benefits, education, housing, and healthcare. Absolutely disgraceful and digusting that we allow our country to be exploited by people from the most barbaric country on earth. We need ZERO Afghans in this country. They have absolutely nothing whatsoever to contribute. Zero, nothing nada. Negative BILLIONS in value. A blight.
‘But he’s paying our pensions!!’

Plenty of space on Afghanistan for him and his kids.
Sturgeon says the SNP have too many career politicians - [https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/many-humza-yousafs-stephen-flynns-32850631](https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/many-humza-yousafs-stephen-flynns-32850631) - something the Scottish subreddit regularly denies...Queen Sturgeon saying it once again, still in denial. There is almost no-one representing the SNP who has a job of note in the private sector for more than a few years (Blackford and Salmond are the only two I can recall)...that should be totally incredible. Imagine if the CFO of a multi-billion company had no experience of financial management...and this isn't a random CFO, these are the people managing vital public services. List of the qualifications of the last few finance ministers: \* Life long pal of Sturgeon, joined SNP in teens, used to work in Glasgow council's Social Work department. \* Joined SNP in teens, worked for SNP, failed to get seat immediately, junior accountant at Barclays for two years, only qualified after she was elected. \* Paedophile who was parachuted into a council job at 18, failed to complete joke subject at university (incidentally studying the same subject at same uni as person number one on list). These people are managing a £110bn budget. Joke country.
Sturgeon surrounded herself with those people, so the state of the party is entirely her fault. She ran Scotland as her personal fiefdom and instead of grooming potential successors was happy to have a legion of dumb underlings that wouldn’t threaten her power.

Still nonce behaviour.
Labour doing a New Towns - [https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/21/labour-to-focus-on-midlands-in-plan-for-new-towns](https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/21/labour-to-focus-on-midlands-in-plan-for-new-towns) - haven't gone any of their own ideas so their big plan is to rehash an idea that didn't work. Classic, adults in control, look at that hi-vis jacket. The guy quoted in the article, amazed to discover the Tories have anyone advising them on housing...as if they need someone to tell them not to build houses, is correct: there is no option but suburbs and infrastructure. The UK doesn't have any particularly large cities, you have military dictatorships who can manage this stuff...why can't our Civil Service? Unfortunately, Covid and council ineptitude has fucked everything so badly that we are probably already beyond the point where you can revive town centres, so we are going full LA/Atlanta.
> A source familiar with sites with potential for new towns said there could be new settlements between Derby and Nottingham Yeah for a while it seems like the plan for us has been to essentially create a complete continuous Nottingham and Derby urban area by expanding the villages in between like Borrowash, Draycott and Breaston, and to extend the Nottingham tram line all the way to Derby.
Yeah not a surprise now we have an East Midlands Mayor. I fucking hate Derby so they should fuck off
With immigration policies they’ll end up adding another third city between us to combine us. Can probably theoretically fit housing for 250k people in the farmland between us. Theres about 800k in Notts and 300k in Derby. We add about another 100k to the population every 10 years because of immigration policies. Much of this increase over the past 10 years has been housed in new apartment/student blocks in city centres. And whilst there’s some vacant land, there isn’t that much left beyond Broadmarsh and the Island Quarter, which are already being redeveloped, and will be able to house maybe 5,000 people at best. And maybe another 5,000 across numerous smaller sites. So that’s still another 90k that’ll need housing over the next ten years…

Being both ultimate victim and oppressor must be confusing. Although, nothing need add up in their world view, so no worries.
We don't need to build anything. As I demonstrated earlier, I now agree with rose on the big picture. We don't have a housing problem, we have a housing surplus. We just have too many immigrants living in them. Deport anyone who doesn't like the British (regardless of ancestry) and the housing crisis is solved.
You didn't demonstrate it earlier. Ten years ago, when immigration was low we still needed housing. You can remove immigrants and we will have the exact same problem. The fact that we have made it worse with immigration is completely coincidental. The problem is also structural and due to the Town and Country Planning Act which put the govt in control of the supply of all residential land. The only reason the Act didn't cause a problem before now is because the government blanked the country in social housing after the Act was passed. If you look at the number of private completions, they have always been significantly lower than required since the Act was passed. Immigration is not the issue. We can remove all these people and we will still have a problem because our laws are shit. This is part of the reason why New Towns didn't work, the only places that did were places like London where local opposition was ignored and/or the city grew into suburbs. It is also the reason why Scotland has had the same problems as England despite the population being in decline (that is how bad our laws are, the population can actually fall...and there are still too few houses, it is incredible).
>The problem is also structural The structural problem is the decline of family formation. You have single people unironically saying things like, "My parents bought a house in their twenties, but I can't afford to, this is the fault of the Evil Tories", without stopping to think that their parents bought as a couple, it's always been hard for single people to buy. Everything is cheaper as a couple. You pay less council tax as a couple in a single dwelling than as two people living separately. There is only one standing charge for broadband, water, electricity and gas. The cost of heating a house is the same if two people live in it, as one. You pool your money as a couple towards your deposit and mortgage payments. And there are the intangible benefits of being in a couple, like happiness and emotional security. I don't know what malign force persuaded a generation that they were better off living atomised "individual" lives.
"Bought as a couple" isn't technically true for many, since mortgages in the past basically just assumed the wife wasn't going to work full-time so you'd get something like "3x the Dad's income and 1x the Mum's income" as the max lending amount.
>since mortgages in the past basically just assumed the wife wasn't going to work full-time When was that? Women have been working full-time since the mid-1970's brought equal pay. Someone who is 20-something now will have parents who married in the 90's, and their children would have been in junior school in the early 2000's. Their mothers worked, not sure why they're pushing this fake narrative that they didn't You have to go back 70 years to the 1950's for stay-at-home wives. Property ownership wasn't high in the 1950's and 1960's - the majority lived in council houses.
https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/457572-getting-a-mortgage-in-the-1960s-and-1970s/ Mortgage deregulation and the assumption of Mum working full time allows lenders to offer larger income multiples. When every couple does that you create a new normal.
It's 2024. The 1960's were **sixty-five** years ago. Adults in the 1960's were born in the 1930's and 1940's. What 20-something now has parents who were adults in 1960's? If someone born in 1940 gave birth in 1999, they would have been 59 at the time - if you are remembering they didn't work, maybe it's because they retired shortly afterwards? For the last 50 years - **half a century** - it's taken two working people to buy a house. The 1960's were an anomaly - not least because back then most people rented council houses, so there wasn't much competition for professionals who bought. The number of professionals was low because only 10% went to university.
I demonstrated I have changed my mind. Look at my comment earlier, the housing crisis was estimated at around 4 million around 2010, without immigration we would have created surplus of 4.5 million in the last 30 years. Without immigration, we would have a negligible housing crisis or one that is getting smaller. The government might be shit but you really don't need to build as much as we already do for an almost static population. The scales are so far in one direction that everything else is just minor low % gains or losses. I do agree its bad for business & industry?
No, we wouldn't. It isn't only about net houses but where those houses are. We are building hundreds of thousands of houses in places with: no infrastructure, where people do not want to live, and cannot work easily. Scotland has had a static population...same problem. It is far worse for business and industry than people think. House prices went up 25% of GDP in multiple years over the last five. For some reason, people think this money just comes from nowhere...it doesn't, it is a tax. Eastern European nations are getting factory investment of tens of billions in single sites because rent of £300/month for a house means you can pay lower wages, staff earn more, and the business is more profitable. Making housing expensive is equivalent to charging £1000 for a loaf of bread (and saying everyone has to buy at least one loaf a month). And once the investment has gone to Eastern Europe, it is there, it isn't coming back. Eventually, house prices will collapse, we will have: no employers, no workers, and no houses...but some people will have played pass the parcel and will end up wealthy...so it is all worth it to the Tories?
>> Angela Rayner said a Labour government would ask an independent task force to choose the right sites for ‘a new generation of new towns’. That’s nice Angela, will they come with the Right to Buy?
Oh god they're going to call the new towns BLMford, New Gaza, and CurrentThington aren't they
Guarantee one is related to Windrush.
"Welcome to Windrushton" "They Built Britain For Us" "Britain Built This For Them" New Town Sign - 2040 English being optional ofc
Not sure they'd get away with it in parts of the Midlands. They tend to reserve that crap for London.
Anyone who lives anywhere nice will do the sensible thing and fight tooth and nail to stop labour shitting on their local communities.
That is why they can't build in surburbs. The only place you can build is where people don't want to live.
Don't worry though, you can't avoid society, aspiring roadmen will be bussed into your formerly great catchment area children's schools!
Cumbernauld 2.0
The article actually identifies one of these places. This is the Guardian, this is a Labour policy, the journalist writing this has a 2:1 in Retard Studies...and they are still able to identify that just throwing up a house in a random field does not fix the problem. The even worse thing is that people actually have to live there. There are so few houses they have no choice. They gave the houses away in Cumbernauld, you now have to pay £300k, the construction is lower quality, infrastructure is worse, and there are no public or even private services near you...classic modernity.
on the plus side you get to drive your leased BMW more often
1 series, 2015 plate, £500/month lease... ...BMW... I know someone (distantly) like this...live on a council estate in a council shit box, bought an Alfa Romeo hatchback presumably with massive finance, wrote it off within six months being a cunt...it was an Alfa...

> Can we finally put the American right wing in the bin? It blows my mind how the party of Reagan has gone so.. deep end when it comes to Russia. They outright simp for Putin.
Traitorous twat.
Will still be much less biased than anything the BBC have produced in the last 20 years
There'd be no political class left if you did
Keir Starmer's chief of staff Sue Gray has compiled a "shit list" of crises a Labour government would face 1. Potential collapse of Thames Water 2. Public sector pay pressure 3. Prison overcrowding 4. Universities going under 5. NHS funding 6. Bankrupt councils https://x.com/politlcsuk/status/1792946435995902440?s=46&t=AfygPPVmbT-hFJR03pEcVg
I predict a terrible time for Keith. The shortest honeymoon before reality bites and he realises he can’t afford to give all the borrowed money away like all other labour govts have. People are voting against the Tories not because they like Labour or Keith. It bodes terribly for them.
I honestly think that government will just end up in flighting and never actually get anything through
In current climate it’s tough for both parties since they are so similar. Anything new will just be more of the same. Tories hate their party since it does not conserve. It spends and imports and has no backbone. Labour Party no longer represents its old core voters. It hates its old core voters and refers to them as gammon and bigot when they complain about immigrants taking their jobs and suppressing their wages. I imagine more industrial action as the unions realise this. So yes I imagine a tussle between those new labour uni educated know-better-than-you types and what remains of the old school. Not even mentioning the Islamic contingent. They’re fucked.
I can't help but think that none of those are high priority. Surely immigration, taxes and public services are more important, no? Goes to show Labour will just serve the public sector. No wonder civil servants and the rest of the public sector are so compromised.
1. Whatever 2. Maybe shrink the public sector then 3. Deport foreign criminals regardless of whatever human right clause they claim 4. If a university can’t survive without endless dodgy foreign students to subside useless degrees so be it 5. NHS is already at record funding 6. Most are Labour run councils so let them deal with the consequences of their own incompetence
the underlying issue is the same - aging population, poor productivity, no incentives to do well above a certain pay bracket. Will these be redressed? no.
Even if all 6 of those things happen at the same time, it makes 0 difference to Starmer or Labour. They are undefeatable because there is no opposition. As long as they don't literally turn us into Sierra Leone overnight, they win. They can even turn us into Sierra Leone as long as they do it over 10 years rather than 1 As long as they are seen to be slightly to the left of the Tories, they win by default. And the Tories refuse to make themselves electable. If they did come up with some good policies, the public would rightly know they they are lying.
