  • What's with the obscurity in the title?

    Heriot Watt University.

    Call them by their name. Name and shame them.

    Heriot Watt University care more for weapons manufacturers, whose weapons are used to commit genocide, than they do their own students.

    Heriot Watt University are therefore pro genocide.

  • I can, mental health services in this country are shit and taboo. But being autistic doesn't excuse being a deviant arsehole.

    Pulling down a colleague's trousers and then going "it's because I'm autistic!" only solidifies that he's an arsehole, trying to hide his actions behind a label that he thinks now makes him untouchable.

    Concessions and understanding should be shown to autistic people. Sudden changes in plans, for example, may cause a strong emotional reaction that "neurotypicals" wouldn't experience, but it doesn't mean autistic people are free to completely do as they wish without repercussions

    Actually, what am I saying? Yes, it should allow autistic people to be above the law! Brb, I've got a left wing government to install, nobody can stop me!

  • Have you considered installing the roundabouts anyway and removing the driving licences of those incapable of manoeuvring around a simple roundabout?

    Driving is not a right. If they can't perform simple manoeuvres without endangering others, they shouldn't be controlling a machine that can easily accidentally kill.

  • How have the Conservatives done on key issues? Slow progress has been made on social housing. From 2013 to 2023, the number of social rented homes fell from 4.0 million to 3.8 million, according to an estimate by the UK parliament. By 2022/23, just 15% of new affordable homes were for social rent. Before 2011 it was over half. In the 13 years before the Conservatives came to power, 362,000 new socially rented homes were built. In the 13 years from 2010 to 2023, this fell to 171,000.

    All this combines to create an acute housing shortage. The National Housing Federation estimates there are 4.2m households in England with unmet housing needs.

    The number of social homes being built has fallen by almost 90 per cent since the Conservatives came to power in 2010, new official figures have revealed.

    Just 1,409 of the lowest-cost homes were started in England in the 2017/18 financial year - down from 39,402 in 2009/10.

    Not to mention a revolving door for housing minister, with 16 people being minister within a 14 year period. Almost as if they didn't really give a shit about the position because many of them are landlords.

  • Don't make their job easier for them. Fuck them! Health is wealth.

    The state need not kill those that killing themselves
    \ Don't make it an easy job for 'em
    \
    \ The killing of kids with £2 chicken and chips
    \ Is a tactic of war, waged on the poor
    \ Can't save wages on slave wages
    \ And you don't think fresh fruit with your face on the floor
    \ Nah, you need money for the kids
    \ Rent and light plus food in the fridge
    \ But that last box can be the hardest tick
    \ 'Cause scraps will suffice but they might make you sick
    \ As a child I used to chow take out
    \ Twenty-four hours later skin break out
    \ Felt so heavy with it sitting in my belly
    \ Dessert was a sugar coated candy jelly
    \ Fam that's pig meat. Mashing up the kidney
    \ Make sure no government has to kill me
    \ I was killing myself till I realised danger
    \ Brain, heart, liver and lungs can hit failure
    \ Now season daal and veg with fresh herbs
    \ Cut caffeine because it messed with nerves
    \ Plenty lentils and chickpea curry
    \ 20 minute meal for a man in a hurry
    \ That's real fast food that won't break the bank
    \ With enough nutrients to fill the tank
    \ Drink water for the body's natural power
    \ But water from taps can taste sour
    \ Food deserts are designed to starve us
    \ No fresh produce but we've got Starbucks
    \ Calories packed in treats to enlarge us
    \ May not see the effects but the heart does
    \ Can't breathe, can't sleep, can't run
    \ Casomorphin wreaks havoc on the lungs
    \ Just like fizzy wreaks havoc on the gums
    \ And my old man said diabetes ain't fun
    \ Ginger root is good for the youts
    \ Blend it up and share a fresh juice
    \ Burn sage, cleanse the room
    \ Body is a temple, don't let it be a tomb
    \ The food you choose to consume can damage
    \ Processed meats intestines can't manage
    \ Cattle farming still killing off the planet
    \ And it tells us everyday that it can't stand it
    \ Earth getting hotter while the sea levels rise
    \ All because you want burger with those fries
    \ All because you want milkshake with the meal
    \ Then to combat diarrhoea you take pills
    \ What's the deal? Eat right, stay active
    \ Stay strong 'cause the revolution is real
    \ Never know when a man might have to dash
    \ And a pig can't kill what a pig can't catch
    \ It's more than just eating right, it's survival
    \ Rasta man tell the youts eat Ital
    \ Daily exercise, fresh air is vital
    \ Whether you short walk, run or take cycle
    \ Meditate to live life and love it
    \ Plus stress increases acid in stomachs
    \ Read and chill to keep the mental covered
    \ And when you find struggle, try rise above it
    \ I find peace in the books on the shelf
    \ Food on the stove while it cooks I can smell
    \ It's gonna be good by the looks I can tell
    \ And it won't put my body through hell, well
    \ Well, I want strength like Phelps
    \ Good practises and discipline helps
    \ Not for the six-pack, I do it for myself
    \ 'Cause it's true what they say your health is wealth
    \ Be healthy, be strong, alright
    \
    \ Oh by the way, remember you are a gift to yourself and a gift to your environment
    \ Continue to be that beautiful gift
    \ Share that gift in your food, and all your gastronomic mastery

  • “I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants: a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

  • Aye that's fair. "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" and all that.

    Just to clarify though, owning your own car and stereo falls under personal property, not private property. See my comment here for a brief distinction of the two: https://feddit.uk/comment/18187961
