So Jackie Walker has been suspended from Labour for her appallingly poorly-judged comments about anti-Semitism and Holocaust Memorial day. Apparently there's also a Momentum meeting on Monday that will probably kick her out of her vice-chair job. What is it about certain people that when they are accused of something like this they can't just keep their mouths shut?

Private litter wardens attempt to fine woman for feeding ducks.quote:The council has used a team of litter wardens from private firm Kingdom Security since 2011, during which the group has issued more than 20,000 tickets. Since September 2015, the litter wardens have handed out 2,116 penalties worth just under £170,000 – half of which goes to the council and the remaining funds paid to Kingdom Security. I'm sure nobody ever imagined that this method of monetization could ever go awry.  There's a lot of talk floating around about sustainable business these days but for all that it really seems like nobody's got even the slightest idea what the gently caress they're doing.

It's funny how private litter wardens always seem to go after young mothers for their child dropping fruit peel or pensioners for ashing their cigarette inappropriately but never after groups of young men throwing beer cans in the streets.

What can private litter wardens actually do if they try to fine you? Like, do they have any way of identifying you if you just laugh and walk off?

Redcar actually has warnings on the high street telling people not to feed the gulls there, and it's fairly sensible, because it makes the high street infested in them. So, while they may be bastards, there's nothing striclty wrong with having rules about where people can and can't feed birds.

HorseLord posted:Nissan: please stop making our cars. that's crime illegal in the UK Most of those cars arent sold in the UK, they are sold in places which would take Nissans side and ban the import of UKGOV Carmobiles. Unless you think the UK has a demand for 500K cars a year, every year, forcibly taking over the plant would be pretty dumb even in the fantasy universe where that is a remote possibility.

ThomasPaine posted:gently caress people like this so hard. I just don't understand their complete inability to understand the difference between embracing diversity of race, culture, sexuality etc and challenging attributes that threaten that. You choose to have your poisonous bullshit beliefs that are based on terrible reasoning and you actively make society worse. Mr Patel down the road doesn't do any of that on account of being from Bangalore. He might also have bad opinions which should be challenged (and a lot of leftists seem to struggle here) but we're operating at two fundamentally different levels. It's not loving 'intolerant' to call someone out on their stupid poo poo. I had trouble watching it just because it was amazingly cringey. Who the gently caress laughs at that?
