he seemed quite fair and principled.
Scratch a bit beneath the surface though…
He was sacked from govt for tax fiddling
He is a bit murky in his dealings
He likes being heavy handed towards critics [The Time article but behind a paywall so link is archive.is]
Ive not even touched on his time on govt and some of the decisions he was involved in or things he said
Did you have much respect for him to start with? As far as politicians go, hes a right shithead
Make it compulsory for EVERY driver annually and enforce it through insurance companies levying an additional tax on a policy for failure to supply an eye test certificate when renewing.
There have been various incidents where drivers with defective eye sight who were well under 70. The death of Eilidh Cairns being a prominent one where the police failed to do anything about the driver after he killed her on her bike and he later killed a 98 year old holocaust survivor while she was on a zebra crossing
The BBC’s job is essentially “here is some newsworthy information that our audience might find interesting, and they can judge it however they wish”.
It should also be that if attendance is mandatory then a free lunch should be provided.
Nope. They’re a pair of cunts that deserve longer and it’s not a zero sum game. We can, and should, have be jailing both
One claimed he was so drunk he doesn’t remember loading up his range rover, driving to the parking spot then carrying the equipment to the tree, cutting it down with precision not expected of someone blind drunk, carried all the kit back to the car, drive home then had a moment of clarity.
The other one said he’s such a weak idiot that the other one led him astray
The sentencing is to (slow - bah it was meant to be…) show that wilful destruction of ancient trees and heritage sites will not go unpunished.
They are a pair of cunts that destroyed a beloved tree and I disagree, if they hadn’t been jailed, they would very likely do something similar again seeing as they revelled in the media attention and took keepsakes.
The cut off is grandparents. I know as I’m entitled to Irish citizenship via my grandmother (as soon as I get a copy of her death certificate)
but none of the others are ever going to gain power.
Unless in a position such as the batshit insane DUP where they had a confidence & supply agreement with Theresa Mays govt
Theres plenty of people who complain about drivers who get ticketed for using a mobile while at lights or stopped in traffic (think of the comments on a particular uk cycle cammer who films drivers using their mobiles then reports them) but it plays heavily with situational awareness & drivers ability to “check back in” to the activity of driving.
he had children, he had a family; we could say the same about many officials of the German Army in WWII, they had families too.
He had been living separately from his family for some time. He had a DUI conviction. On the same day that the company suffered a ransomeware attack that wiped $46B from it’s market cap, he dumped $1.5M of his stock and along with others, was being investigated.
The media has obviously done a whitewash of the guy, as it’s in their class interests but to call him a piece of shit would be going lightly.
I’ve asked those people “why do you lock the toilet door?”
Its not even defeatism, its willingly sacrificing themselves to the machine in hopes it will be merciful!
If it wasnt beaten by this, it comes a very close 2nd: “Firefox is trash at loading HTML websites”.
You can tell that fucker spends their time gibbering techno waffle bollcoks to old people!
Could be anywhere then
Because the state determines anything that potentially threatens the state as a “threat to the people” while not allowing the people to organise, especially with anything that may threaten the state.
Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees
The govt will ban voices that are pro-china as well as anti. The marker tends to be those who people will form behind and have the ability to create movements. It’s about keeping people atomised.
The cliff thought as much. Why else would it yeet him like that?!
(Doesn’t sound like he was because he also held patents for an insulin pump & a wheelchair that could climb stairs so his mind was definitely working towards solving real world problems & not just reinventing public transport)
