Have we forgotten that this government was doing procurement business through Whatsapp?

I am with you 100%. Expecting Google to be responsible for road maintenance is a frivolous. Google will sue them for legal costs.

Totally agree. Kids have killed themselves over stuff like this. It is a criminal offence for a reason.

In other news Russian Media is biased towards Russia. The US is funding the largest part of the Ukraine’s weaponry. What else are they expecting?

Syldon,

Needs more information, which obviously will come out after the trial.

Syldon,
@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

Yeah I looked around. It still needs the trial to be completed first.

Did the guy do something silly that made the policeman shoot, is an unanswered question.

What was the criteria for releasing the shot would be the second question. The CPS will not prosecute without a fair chance at conviction, but innocent until proven and all that.

You could also be asking what was he doing in a car with the history it had, but that should not be justification to kill someone. I would not wish for the UK to follow in the US footsteps of frivolous shootings.

Ofcom just let GB News off the hook over Tory MPs moonlighting as journalists (www.thecanary.co)

Ofcom has found that a GB News show presented by two Tory MPs breached its impartiality rules. However, the regulator only scalded the far-right media outlet over it not airing differing views. Ofcom failed to rule against the fact that two sitting Conservative MPs were posing as journalists interviewing a sitting Conservative...

It is a government body ran by a Tory government. Ofcom, Ofwat, Ofgem and the Electoral Commission are all under the direction of government.

The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power – pure power.

Another country has called Xi a 'dictator' and China is not happy with that description (edition.cnn.com)

China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.

The CCP does not have confidence in that though, hence the way it runs the elections there.

They are supposed to recuse themselves on laws that they have a self interest in. Tories being Tory here and nothing more.

Who exactly pays for that. The families that robbed these countries of cash are spread around the globe now. If you can identify families then fine go after those. King Charles would be a good candidate. To expect a country to pay for the crimes of previous residents is just stupid money grabbing. The rank and file who pay the taxes in the western countries were being subjugated also and certainly did not gain from the moneys raised in the colonies. That was kept by the rich families of the time.

Syldon,
@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

The only eco systems that were paid for at that time were for the benefit of the rich as I said. Google the poor houses just to see how they were treated. There will have been more money in the economy. But that was to the benefit to anyone who was trading with the English at that time, not just the population.

My family were victims to the potato famine, which suffered probably the highest death rate per capita at the hands of the English. 20% of the population were wiped out or left the country. I would never dream of expecting reparations.

I am wholly with you when it comes to education. I take an interest in history. There is a lot that is just not spoken about or understood in the education curriculum. Germany has adopted the system of education about the holocaust because they lost the war. The Allies made sure they understood what was being done in their name. Prior to the holocaust, it was never an expectation that countries were held to account is such a fashion. That is not to say that reparations were never demanded. Reparations were paid out often by the loosing side, but this was more about making the looser suffer than expecting fair payments.

Roads and trains were built for transport of goods. Profit is where the driver was (pun not intended). No one travelled much in the 1800’s. Travel became more prevalent after WW1. WW1 was a turning point for the rights of the people. This is why we have the unknown soldier. It was an appeasement for the country’s masses. As for education how did this benefit the poor. They had kids 5 yrs old working in the mines right up till 1880. Even in 1900 kids were sent to work at 12 years old. None of those went to uni. Uni was for those who could afford it.

The main reason Japan and Turkey were not pushed in the same way as Germany was Racism. The West did not care about the Chinese or what they considered Arabs. They cared about white people being murdered. Germany also had to live in that west and were very dependant on the hand outs due to the Berlin situation. It is not surprising they chose the options they did, however commendable.

To your point, do you think the average teenager in England understands how the policies of their leadership caused the Potato Famine? More importantly, do you think it’s a good thing that they should never have to learn that and recognize that England has something today because Ireland does not?

The potato famine was caused by ignorance of how what crops needed. The tragedy was the greed of the landlords who still kept food back even though the country was starving. The situation was so bad that India wanted to donate food, but the English government of the time stopped it.

The English education system is very narrow when it comes to history. Potato famine, India and the English role in the other colonies are something I found out for myself. The media had a very bias agenda against the IRA during the troubles of the 70’s+. Much of which I bought as being gospel because at a young age you trust what you hear. Teenagers these days are so much more savvy than I was though. The internet is a fantastic aid.

I won’t touch nothing with Denuvo on it.

I got caught out with sniper elite 5 in the same fashion. It also has a warning on it now. You don’t have to install Denuvo to play the game on that one, but you cannot play any multiplayer without it.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signs law restricting release of her travel, security records (apnews.com)

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed a law Thursday restricting release of her travel and security records after the Legislature wrapped up a special session marked by a fight to more broadly scale back the state Freedom of Information Act....

Syldon,
@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

I can understand restrictions on upcoming events, but there is nothing wrong with releasing them after they have been used. It is not like someone is going to go back in time to commit an offence.

A honest politician is usually the more open one. You would think that getting threats would be an indicator she is doing something upsets people, and she wants to double down on the crazy.

Syldon,
@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

Are you suggesting that politicians create issues to hide other more heinous issues? That would just be dead catting.

Syldon,
@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

Pretty stupid, since Trump did exactly the same thing.

Syldon,

It is great to see the US apply some sort of protection laws that actually matter. I would have liked to have seen this applied as a minimum wage across the board not just large companies. I get the feeling that companies will downsize just to avoid the law.

This quote is bloody awful to me. It is like an exert from a dickens novel.

Ingrid Vilorio, a fast-food worker at a Jack In The Box in the San Francisco Bay Area, said the increase in salary next year will bring some relief to her family, who until recently was sharing a house with two other families to afford rent.

Always follow the money trail. The company who completed the poll has some credibility behind it. It also produces a full financial statement. None of which shows the company is led by bad influences. It even gained 20% of its funding from the British Embassy at one point.

I cannot read the questions asked. They are shown in pictorial format and my translate programme cannot handle that. How you ask the question has a huge sway over the answers given. But since the company has the appearance of due diligence, I would see this as something that the Ukraine government should be looking at as a problem. You never fix a problem if you do not recognise it as such.

Syldon,

Thank you very much. No real questions regarding his honesty at all?

Do you agree with the statement that the president carries a straight line responsibility for corruption in the government, military administrations?

This does not say he is responsible for the corruption, as in taking part. It only states that the buck stops with him and him alone. As I said context is everything.

Syldon,
@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

The EU has said it welcomes Ukraine’s efforts to fight corruption. Can you find a link that actively states it is a requirement?

Syldon,
@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

Happy to admit I was wrong on this one.

Syldon,
@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

I kind of agree. The language used is ambiguous to say the least.

Syldon,
@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

I agree with this. Even more so if you add in that we need to make education cheaper for the younger generations. If you are not investing in the future, then you can really expect to have one.

Elon Musk seen as working counter to U.S. interests in dealings with Russia, China (youtu.be)

Elon Musk's financial interests put him in a position of having his own personal foreign policy, but new reporting shows that whether it's manufacturing in China or the Starlink network being used in Ukraine, Musk’s decisions can run counter to stated US policy.

It really is the case. There is no accountability for the 1% in the world. Yet they are consuming more than the poorest 50% according to latest report.

OFC I don’t care. Russia has troops in Belarus waiting to attack Ukraine.

Syldon,
@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

If it was a NATO aggressive action then ALL would be involved not just a portion.

As for the US using it military might, it has been bitten enough to know it is just a waste of money. Unless you have a costed strategic end game policy, simply removing dictatorships is not enough.

Syldon,
@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

In your opinion.

Syldon,
@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

Cannot argue against that. Much in the same way the EU bought Russian gas and oil after the invasion of Ukraine. Necessity is a burden sometimes.

Syldon,
@Syldon@feddit.uk avatar

The fact you have to ask questions your own intellect.

Syldon,

When the argument becomes ridiculous, trolling is allowed. The argument was lost when there was an attempt to accuse the US of threatening with nukes.

Maybe if Russia/Stalin had not decided to annex half of Europe there would not have been a cold war. These people decided to sleep with the Russians. The enemy of your enemy is your friend.
