Bothsidesing is the worst thing you can do as a news site.
Bothsiding ? Oh we're turning it into a verb now are we? OK. Cool.
I have to disagree with that. Not pretending to world is simple and presenting a balanced view of a story is a mature aged responsible thing to do as a news site. Obviously people will disagree but to hide information or distort it is not news. It's dirty propaganda.
We need less of these kinds of site that amplify hate towards others and pretend the world is simpler than it is. No wonder we're so fucked and divided as a country. The exact same thing Farage is doing to right wingers, sites like these are doing to left wingers.
I have easy answers for you. Oh and by the way everyone that disagrees with me is some form of evil.
You obviously don't remember Tony Blair fawning over Bush. Rode with him into battle. Oh wait, no. Started an illegal war that we're all still paying the price for.
I mean, sure. If you want to actually read and understand the details then I suppose this is fine. But what if you just want to circle jerk on the internet? Eh? What do you have say about that? 🙃
Hmm 🧐 seems I was suckered into the government propaganda machine. I can't help but think Nandy's comments this morning were calculated to cause confusion in the government's favour.
Lisa Nandy was just on Sky news and explicitly said that it is optional to carry it. You'd apparently "have an ID" but you don't have to carry it.
I'm not sure what that means for why they need it. Apparently to check work eligibility easily instead of one of several means that are, in her words, "more easily forged".
You could quite easily develop a system like the driving licence check (for when you rent a car, for example, to check your driving status and points) to provide extra information anonymously like age range or work status or whatever you wanted. In fact if we were still in the EU we'd be able to participate in the beta that Spain is spearheading for age verification: https://ageverification.dev/. It's goals are explicitly privacy focused so I'd encourage people to read the details.
As a technology challenge I don't think there's a good argument not to have such a system rather than the patch work one we have now that was designed and built close to hundreds of years ago. However politically selling something like this to British people is always going to be the hard part.
Yes. And you should read what Uma Thurman said about him and his.... fetishes. Puts him in a very different light. Surprisingly he hasn't been cancelled yet.
I can quit whenever I want.
