Sausage roll abuse is beyond the pale

Worth remembering that it wasn't always a free-for-all before minimum wage was introduced. I think there was a mechanism to set minimum wages by industry, which got dismantled by thatcher (not sure on specifics but pretty sure there was some mechanism to set minimum wages).

They keep emailing me to say mine has reached its end of life and needs to be replaced - and yet funnily enough it still works while all these smart meters don't

Does everyone know they're not real? I'm not suggesting they are real, only that for all I know the quality of these fakes might be convincing.
Whether this story is "overblown" or not is subjective I guess but the victim's being "creeped out" does seem like actual harm to me

Do construction crews get special training on what counts as important archeology?
"Hey foreman I found a massive shit while digging that trench we have to call the museum"
"Dave what the fuck are you talking about?"

The question OP poses is not if the content is left or right, but whether the apparent left/right position is sincere or ironic

What a joker

What if you're a woman

The headline frames this as if levelling up is useless, rather than it was a slogan that the Tories stole and then did absolutely nothing to fulfill

Honestly really sad that some people seem to be more upset by you writing "body shamed" instead of "objectified" than they are about the objectification happening in the OP

I can pet my own cat for free

If a mechanical keyboard was made of denim, would it be a jechanical keyboard or a mechanical jeyboard

They probably just aren't interested in seeing the comics, rather than disliking the artist personally

At the last election, the tory party changed their twitter account display-name and profile-picture to pretend to be the "Fact Check UK" account. They have no integrity. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/19/tories-tweet-anti-labour-posts-under-factcheckuk-brand
Edit: to be clear, I do think the potential for deepfake misinfo is concerning. But the Tories can absolutely fuck off about it

People do care but they struggle to make change against the rich who do not care

That's a penile fracture

I agree that reddit sucks
