  • Nope. Not satire.

  • I fail to see any issue with teenagers doing appropriate part time work. Waiting tables, serving in shops, domestic work, garden maintenance etc.

    I hate to be one of those people, but I knew it would happen eventually, I worked from the age of 14 doing a newspaper round and washing dishes in a kitchen and it was the best thing that happened to me.

    Its not for everyone I agree but in general it should he encouraged, especially because it gives you an early understanding of how exploitative the world of casual labour is and how to avoid getting trapped there long term.

    As much as I despise the Torygraph, the article isn't actually as sensationalist as the headline and accompanying imagery makes it seem.

    it’s probably a better idea to call it “part-time youth employment” than the Dickensian-sounding “child labour”. But it’s very clearly a brilliant thing in the right setting: for them, and for the country.

    What the author is arguing for is that teenagers should do part time work as it provides both an economic benefit (to the employer and prospective employee) and a social one as well

    Within reason, kids doing part-time jobs will teach them about the world. The grimmer the work they do, the more incentivised they’ll feel to work hard at school so they can avoid a rubbish job. Alternatively, they’ll find what they want to do early in life and have a head start.

    We don't need to start chopping heads off just yet (at least not for this one specific article, there's plenty of other things in that rag to get upset over).

  • Since the above comment was deleted, here's what I was replying to for anyone wondering:

    That all sure sounds awfully successful and self-sufficient and "we're a strong independent nation, we don't need no big dumb international union", golly. And yet, here we are talking about the UK asking very nicely for things they had before and rejected.

    No, it says that the success/failure of the UK financial services sector is irrelevant to any discussion about the EU and the pros/cons of membership for the UK.

    If you look at the wider economic cost/benefit analysis it's clear as day as to the advantages we had of remaining part of the EU and that could be somewhat clawed back by rejoining the customs union.

    For example:

    https://obr.uk/forecasts-in-depth/the-economy-forecast/brexit-analysis/#assumptions

    The post-Brexit trading relationship between the UK and EU [...] will reduce long-run productivity by 4 per cent relative to remaining in the EU.

    Both exports and imports will be around 15 per cent lower in the long run than if the UK had remained in the EU.

    New trade deals with non-EU countries will not have a material impact, and any effect will be gradual

    Or:

    https://www.nber.org/papers/w34459

    estimates suggest that by 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%

    We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%

    these forecasts were accurate over a 5-year horizon, but they underestimated the impact over a decade

  • Would a quarter of workers really be better off on benefits?

  • The original claims by the (right wing) think tank are at their heart an unfair and disingenuous comparison.

    They compare the take home pay minus tax, minus NI and minus student loan repayments to the combined pre-tax benefit payments to a couple with 3 children where at least one of them is medically unfit to work.

    So no, someone on universal credit and PIP cannot earn more than someone working, only if you do roundabout maths does it add up and the people who most need to hear that won't read anything beyond the Daily Mail headline.

  • London clears 900 trillion euro a year in derivatives alone

    And? It made a similar amount when we were still part of the UK so clearly membership of the EU is broadly irrelevant when it come to financial markets so the point is moot.

  • When I was growing up in the 80s they said global warning would affect our children's children so we should start doing something about it.

    Guess what, it's happening to us, already. Why would I bring more people into it. At least I'll be dead before it gets really really bad but statistically I'll see things like the last Coral reefs dying and the amazon rain forest disappearing.

  • Wow, whether you agree with me or not, don't descend into name calling or it just makes you sound like a petulant child.

    What about Ghislaine Maxwell? There's no verified evidence of her or her father being Mossad agents, that claim comes exclusively from Ben Menashe, a disgraced former Mossad agent with his own clear agenda in reporting, exaggerating or downright lying about his life in the intelligence services, he's been paid handsomely for telling his stories.

    Again, are there links? Sure. Would Mossad, MI6, the CIA or KGB have traded information to/from Epstein and Maxwell? Sure that's obvious, the evidence shows us that. But the evidence goes no further than that.

    Do the links between Epstein and intelligence agencies warrant further investigation? Yes. Should those involved be prosecuted if crimes can be proven in those investigations? Yes, of course. But until any of that happens, your assertions on what is publicly available are based on nothing more than hearsay, rumour and scurrilous gossip, much of which seems to have come from the mouth of Epstein himself who we also know was a narcissistic fantasist, which has then been amplified beyond all credulity by the conspiracy theory circuit who all stand to financially benefit from making this as sensational as possible. See above video you posted for evidence of that.

  • Mossad connection

    Connection, sure, we know he courted relationships with powerful people, is it possible or even probable that he had close relationships with people in various intelligence agencies and traded information for protection? Sure. But saying this whole thing is a giant global network of blackmail run by Mossad stretches credulity.

    In don't know what photos you've seen but there seems to be no confirmed evidence in the files about any cannibalism or satanic rituals involved beyond the testimony of one unnamed individual interviewed by the FBI who supplied no actual evidence to back up his claims.

    Anyone could have had access to an xbox live account.

    None of this is evidence. There's a whole lot of hearsay and supposition and the despicable crimes of a few individuals and a wider number of people who enabled him, of whom I count Donald Trump.

    This all very much reminds me of Jimmy Saville who used his influence and fame to abuse children to a disgusting degree and people both actively and passively enabled his crimes for a myriad of reasons but there doesn't need to be some global satanistic cult behind any of this or a global blackmail operation run by the Israelis.

    I know you won't listen to me, I'm not even trying to convince you otherwise.

  • I find this all deeply troubling. Like how not 2 years ago every one was pointing and laughing about how ridiculous the Qanon and Pizza Gate conspiracy theories were.

    Satanic rituals, sinister cabals, industrialised child abduction and abuse. All without a shred of evidence so the world rightly dismissed their BS.

    Now I know I'm going to be down voted and called an idiot but the other side are now falling down the same conspiracy hole.

    I'm not diminishing the crimes of Epstein and Maxwell, his tendrils got everywhere and he was influence peddling on a huge scale but this isn't some global satanic pedophile ring sponsored by Mossad.

    It's alarming how little perspective everyone seems to have about anything anymore. Perfectly normal, intelligent friends of mine are now only talking about how epsteins still alive and the Israelis are hiding him so he can carry on trapping world leaders with incriminating photos of them with a child.

    Am I alone?
