It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response... Shall we continue?
[This user deactivated their account]- I appreciate the heads up! I'll make sure to listen to the interview ASAP. Helen is an inspiration 🌺

- The trouble is, it has already spread into millions of computer servers across the planet...
- In Britain, the fast-rising minimum wage is catching up with the bottom rungs of white-collar work. In fact, it appears that a rising number of people who earn annual salaries & don't work in low-paid sectors are now being paid below the legal minimum... www.ft.com/content/5f69...

- Certainly, if i see it again... it was on the back of a bus!

- My starting wage as an editorial assistant was about £15k in the early noughties. I had to fight to get that much.
- The current minimum wage is £12.21, I think? That equates to a smidge short of £25,400pa based on 40 hours a week. Can anyone explain to me why I've this morning seen a recruitment ad for full time bus drivers offering 'up to £25kpa'? It even specified 40hrs a week.
- look I’m sorry it doesn’t matter how articulate he is or how good his ideas are, zack polanski having a former career as a hypnotist who claimed to be able to make womens’ boobs bigger makes him a liability for the greens. in terms of political pr, boob hypnotist is worse than, say, insider trading

- The dispute that has been settled in the Supreme Court? Hmm... so maybe now the GP will add sex as a protected characteristic to the record of policy. Unless it's institutionally sexist of course.
- [Not loaded yet]
- You haven't made any points yet. You've objected to my opinion and failed to counter it. Once again, has sex as a PC been adopted into the GP record of policy? If not, why not?
- [Not loaded yet]
- My opinion that the GP could do better on women's rights has made you very angry. To the point of incoherence...

- About to have your big break, are you?

- What?

- My posts have more engagement than yours... not that it's very important.

- Is it still the case that the GP has adopted into its record of policy all of the Equality Act protected characteristics with the single exception of sex?

- In your place I'd probably have backed slowly away. Some people aren't worth the time.

- Answer me this. In your view was the Chinese one child policy designed to slowly increase the population one birth at a time?
- [Not loaded yet]
- It's oversimplified. We can measure population growth directly, as you're suggesting, or by birth rate. The latter gives a better picture of the trend. Do you not think he will have seen all eight of his grandparents die in his lifetime? So his family is now at -1 by your logic...
- [Not loaded yet]
- But over time his family reduces in size, right? The birth rate is less than that required for renewal.
- [Not loaded yet]
- I suspect his point is that four individuals in the grandparents' generation have given rise to just one individual in the latest generation.
- [Not loaded yet]
- I have to say I don't understand why you think his views are racist. Population size is clearly related to environmental impact, and birth control* also has huge advantages in terms of standard of living, women's rights etc. * I don't assume he's talking about killing people, like others seem to...

- I'd argue that animal agriculture is a better target than immigration, if you're worried about habitat destruction and food security.

- Yes, in my mother. She's always been interested in alternative medicine, but covid (and perhaps some family drama) really sent her over the edge. I'm trying to keep her grounded but certain subjects send her into a kind of mania.

- However when women are prosecuted for violent crimes they tend to receive longer sentences than men.
- It's a big difference too - men commit about 90-95% of murders, and the figure for violent crime in general is similar.

- I have a fairly high tolerance for centrist or 'blue' Labour because in my lifetime that's what has been most effective at keeping the Tories from power. But this policy is just plain shit, if you'll excuse my frankness.
- This is truly appalling. That poor woman. All involved in this gross transgression of women's rights to privacy, dignity & safety at County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust should hang their heads in shame. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

- So the poor girl wasn't given the chance to defend herself properly, and now that the case is under the microscope and clearly dodgy, the complainant has dropped it so there's no chance of officially clearing the girl's name. Ridiculous.
