I believe:
Capitalism has failed and must be swept away;
Tories are psychopaths who don't understand compassion;
When push comes to shove, centrists will always support the right over the left;
The right to strike must ALWAYS be supported;
I will add to this list as necessary!
EXC: .@GoodwinMJ’s new book “Suicide of a Nation: Immigration, Islam, Identity” is out now, and I’m only 5 chapters in and have found a huge amount of what appears to be false quotes and basic misinterpretations of data, that appear to be AI hallucinations.
Matthew, can you explain the claims you made in the book that I’ve outlined in the below thread?
@liamcunningham1 I disagree. This is calculated destabilsation. Disrupting oil supply between Europe and Asia directly benefits the US, who now have access to Venezuelan oil and a North Atlantic shipping route. Donald wants his hand on the oil tap and Europe to come begging.
@flying_rodent I suppose such things exist in English too, though mainly through inflection: there's a big difference between saying "come here, I want you" and "come here, I WANT you".
@Grandroyal11@fwibbler@benjaminbutter@MahyarTousi@TfL I've worked in Customer facing jobs in the past (mainly retail). You are specifically instructed in safety training NOT to challenge shoplifters due to the risk of escalation. I'd expect the same applies to TfL staff.
@LaserTelx@RobertJenrick The idea of prison being "cushy taxpayer-funded lads holidays" is ridiculous. Having access to perks for good behaviour reduces the burden on already overworked prison officers. And I'd argue the recidivism in some countries like Japan is easily explained by cultural differences.
@LaserTelx@RobertJenrick It might make you personally feel better, but have you looked at the recidivism rates of countries where this is the approach to criminal justice? Hint: they're terrible.
