Holy fuck can you propagandists give it a fucking break?
There are not food shortages in the UK. Nobody is starving and unable to find food.
Just who are the cunts funding all this nonsense propaganda?
Giving the xenophobic attitude that brought about Brexit
Given the rise in non-EU immigration into the UK since Brexit I'm bewildered that you think it had anything to do xenophobia.
The UK likes people from other countries. We have one of the most multi-cultural societies on earth, some of the lowest levels of racism and British people travel abroad at a massive rate.
Xenophobia? In the UK? You've clearly never visited.
The only way is to open up immigration
That happened in 1997. Maybe you haven't noticed the vast tracts of former countryside now covered in shitty housing?
While your assessment of the military threat is credible this announcement will be at best tangentially linked to military security.
The primary driver is economic security, trying to keep the UK economy relevant and buoyant in a changing world. The UK was a world leading high-tech economy from the start of the industrial revolution right through to the 1960s and trying to rebuild that capability (while retaining what little we have left) is seen as key to economic success.
Without the economy, you can't afford the military toys anyway.
PS: There are shortages everywhere, you should go out more.
I haven't seen any. My friends haven't seen any. My work colleagues haven't seen any.
You must have an interesting definition of 'everywhere' because it seems to be 'everywhere that people across the country aren't looking'.
Try leaving your basement and going to a supermarket, you can't miss the many empty shelves
I've been to several. No empty shelves. Stop parroting divisive propaganda.
As for 'all sides of the spectrum' sure, if you mean 'all sides of the pro-EU spectrum'. Brexit didn't cause a European wide shortage of HGV drivers, Brexit didn't cause a COVID 'pingdemic', Brexit didn't cause a container shortage, Brexit didn't cause the US to abandon its energy independence and put extra demands on other world energy supplies, Brexit didn't cause the change in weather that's led to a deficit in renewal energy.
we've lost about 400,000 Europeans because of Brexit that have gone home to Europe, many of whom were polish truckers
If 400k Europeans have gone home, that explains why of the 2.8 million we had here in 2016 only 6 million of them have applied for indefinite leave to stay.
Oh, wait.
As for the Polish truckers, they sure as fuck haven't gone back to Poland: https://trans.info/en/there-s-...
the far-right pro-Brexit Daily Express
Karl fucking Marx wouldn't call the current Daily Express 'far-right'.
You can't escape the fact Brexit is a colossal failure
I can however point out the utter idiocy of the imbeciles claiming it's been a colossal failure while blaming every problem in the world on Brexit, even though it has fuck all to do with them.
you can't accept that you were easily manipulated, and are terminally stupid.
I find this fucking ironic.
> This is another Russia-gate story.
The problem with people like you, is that because you can't accept one basic outcome of Russian intelligence operations in the West - supporting getting Trump into power - you reject the whole damn thing with nonsense drivel like you posted above
Given the extensive evidence demonstrating Russia-gate was a conspiracy against Trump (and the criminal indictment of one of Clinton's lawyers over the affair) your accusation of 'nonsense drivel' doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
that's precisely why 9/11 happened, because
Yeah, you might want to go away and do some research and get yourself educated before you try that one again.
The rest of us manage not to fill our pockets with shit, and indeed, if that's a risk put our phones somewhere else.
If you need a phone that can handle that shit, those are available too. Stop buying the wrong device.
I've been using micro-usb and usb-c for devices for many many years with no issues. I can use any of 40 different USB power providing sockets on various devices and power supplies I own with any of them.
The one that doesn't match? The work issued iShite that requires its very own custom cable that doesn't work with anything else I own, and won't accept any of the 70 cables I can plug into the 40 sockets that will interchangeably accept them.
So getting apple to get with the standard is a massive step forward. If USB-C gets replaced in future, so fucking what? Worse case it'll be replaced by everybody within a 2-3 year period and we all update, but at least I won't have to buy and provision one unique fucking device because the cunts that make it are special needs.
Apple announcements also make it through. It's almost as though the Slashdot audience are interested in shiny new expensive toys.
The only reason I'm not going to buy a Surface Pro 8 is that my '4 is still working fine and if I'm going to upgrade, I may as well go full Surface Laptop when it gets its next refresh.
But don't worry, we won't make you buy one. You're very welcome to enjoy the technologies you prefer.
I can only assume you're a fucking idiot, or being paid to troll. Quite possibly both.
Your non-sequitur arguments are flawed, based on invalid assumptions and posit nonsensical positions. Go away.
You confuse borrowing to invest which you would never do in your own name.
Of course I would. I am accountable for myself and my financial affairs.
with borrowing to spend
Ah, you mean like the several hundred pounds I owe my credit card company? That costs me nothing, as I won't pay interest or fees, and in return I get payment protection guarantees that remove some of the risks of shopping online.
What, incurring that debt was wrong?
you worked like a slave to pay off a mortgage, it isnt really anything to be proud of
I'd have been paying far more in rent than I was on the mortgage, and ended up with no house afterwards. Housing. Not cheap.
A good portion of the world gets for their 18th birthday from the state what you worked your whole life for.
Given a good portion of the world will during their whole lives have a peak net worth that wouldn't buy my house, I'm feeling fairly confident you don't live in reality.
There hasn't been a house price crash where I live, and my home is worth around four times what I paid for it.
Congratulations on your helicopter licence, I hope you have fun flying around.
Do however please get a fucking clue and consider that half the average house price in the UK is still three times the average wage. You don't just save up and buy four houses round here.
Virgin Media are not taking legal action against anybody. Why would their contract be relevant?
Which contract? You signed a contract to torrent a film? Who with?
Don't forget to file in tiny little towns that may not even have lawyers.
How on earth would that help? Lawyers aren't nailed to the floor, they're able to move around in this country.
