@MissFenella@DavidPGCSE@SamuelVimes10 If life tariffs were feared more you wouldn’t see prisoners actively resist death penalty sentences in appeal courts. I would rather the taxpayer not spend 50k a year per prisoner babysitting child rapists and career criminals.
@dexarok@DailyMail The guy was in prison for stabbing a 22 year old student to death, any real government would’ve hung both men upon being found guilty.
@heyheyitsbilly@Emanxamilius_ Ah fair enough, I guess it’s all relative. I was making just over £20k as a first year apprentice in 2023. Had a baby not long after and then earned just over 40k newly qualified. After tax and bills it doesn’t feel like much.
@NickRisdale@TomHulme79@p4tsyclark Are you talking about the migrants your generation imported so you could prop up a dying pension system we can’t afford?
@NickRisdale@TomHulme79@p4tsyclark The point is Nick, that those young people that are currently paying for your state pension benefit likely won’t get one themselves. They’re beggaring themselves to support an already asset rich cohort of society.
@RepublicanMLM Men that are interested in the armed forces typically want to join one that is actually resourced properly and deploys frequently. Why Irishmen choose the British over the French foreign legion is another thing.
@mcfclukey@WTMAtkinson There’s better ways to foster youth participation in politics than a useless debate forum that quite literally only appeals to the worst kind of careerists looking to pad resumes.
@SensaiGaia1 @BenjaminDeRebel @NHSEngland Profound autism is almost certainly a bad thing. Any rational government would want to reduce the number of people being born non verbal/ requiring major support just to function independently.
@Albert_Baba@AngloCatholica Revolving door of immigrants to prop up a dying health service, while your society is fractured apart by community tensions or you can actually just invest in training your own existing workforce to do those jobs. I wonder what a functioning state would do?
