  • 'I regularly travel in Europe and it's shown me how right Brexit was'

  • I was merely pointing out that GDP is a tool to look at the economy as a whole, but it can not visualise more specific trends or inequalities, let alone those caused by Brexit.

  • Solely looking at GDP says little about the impacts of Brexit, especially on the impact it has on individuals. While it tells us the UK fares well on production capacity and economic growth, it says little on the welfare and well being of her citizens.

    There is of course a lot of disparity of the origins in the data, and Tory governing most likely have its effects as well.

    Point is, GDP is not a good measure on whether things are looking bright for individuals.

  • Surviving in a tribal world: Ukraine, Israel, bullies and double standards

  • You are simplifying this extremely.

    I wonder if there is a state willing to do this on their on accord without backing from the UN. Then, would Israel consider this as a breach of sovereignty? What is the risk for the peace keeping state if Israel considers this a breach of sovereignty, do you have the US + west against you?

  • being the weaker group, they could have requested neutral foreign troops to help guard their territories as a peace keeping mission at any time.

    Did you forget Palestine is not recognised as a member state in the UN?

    Also, confusing Palestinians with the terror group Hamas is disingenuous.

  • Joint statement from Germany, France, UK, Italy and USA on support of Israel

  • It is a shame the international community has taken so little effort to prevent bloodshed. The terrible terrorist attacks are the symptoms of the unhealthy and hostile environment. The numbers in the link below just show that there was enough reason to put more effort and discussion in this region.

  • Oh no youtube

    Jump

  • Or even better, care about your digital privacy and ditch Google and Youtube and use an alternative front end, like invidious, or piped.

  • Adblock on iOS?

    Jump

  • Hmmm didn’t think about that, but this would be either unfair competition, as Apple has addons for Safari, or when Browsers can be downloaded from their websites directly an inevitable consequence of EU (and later other states) forcing the app store to be competitive.

  • Adblock on iOS?

    Jump

  • Apple is going to allow alternative browser engines, like Gecko which desktop and android Firefoxes are using. Firefox on iOS is nothing more than lesser version of Safari/webkit with Firefox interface and lacks proper blocking and other features. It is expected that Apple allows alternative browser engines when iOS 17 launches.

    At that point I hope we can get proper Firefox addons for it! Like uBlock Origin.
