My son had a book called “You’re Called What?!” which featured a tasseled wobbegong, alongside other animals such as the Shovelnose Guitarfish, Bone Eating Snot Flower Worm, and the Aha Ha.

Not a “Starmerite sycophant” whatever the hell that is. I am not a fervent supporter of any political party. I simply do not believe that Labour are inherently islamophobic - I’ve seen nothing to suggest that. Im not trying to cover anything up or deflect by saying that the Tories are Islamophobic. It’s relevant because the Tories have been in power and controlling foreign policy up until a month or so ago. If the Tories were still in charge, there would have been no change to the UK gov’s position.
Not that I think that Islamaphobia is the driving factor behind support for Israel, nor do I pretend to fully understand, besides the obvious fact that they’re an existing ally and were attacked by terrorism which kicked this off.
The tide is turning against the Israelian government’s scorched-earth policy but it’s taking too long, especially from the US side. Seemingly the Israelian people are also taking issue with their government’s position which is more pressure than we can exert from our side.
Btw Jeremy Corbyn was vindicated for what, defending Hamas and Hezbollah? Plenty of people have stood up for Palestine over the years without standing up for Hamas. Palestinians deserve to be free, not controlled by Hamas terrorists.
Labour has a far far less of an islamaphobia issue than the Conservatives.
Labour did previously have a antisemitism issue however, and undoubtedly they’re hesitant to do anything which might be tagged antisemitic (even if it’s not).
But despite that, they haven’t been in power for long and have already done far more than the Tories did.
No, they clearly aren’t trying to appear racist, or even directly court their votes. They just don’t want to actively feed into the idiotic theories that stoke tensions.
Oh man, I haven’t heard that one before. Bona fide quality conspiracy theory 👍
No one even mentioned Zionism or Israel…
It’s more that it’s a tactical choice to avoid polarising people. There’s nothing material to gain by attending the protests, and much to lose in terms of pissing off the far right more and destabilising a precarious situation.
The shit-stirrers like Farage would immediately whip up some bullshit that Labour MPs attending anti-fascist protests is “proof” that the government are choosing to politically punish the far right protesters. The last thing Starmer wants is a resurgence of disorder.
Even though being anti-fascist is an obvious virtue, I presume it’s to avoid the appearance of prosecuting the rioters for political reasons. Starmer wants to make it purely about the lawbreaking rather than their political aims.
Second Mihon. It’s an all-in-one downloader and reader, and supports reading offline.
That’s not denial, it’s looking at the evidence.
It’s not used as a healthcare metric. This is just debunking reports that a healthcare policy was directly causing an “explosion” in suicides.
We’ll see what he tells parliament, but IMO it’s reasonable for him to follow the science, get more trials done ASAP and approve the medicine if the evidence shows. As long as these kids get appropriate care in the meantime without delay.
Approving medicine counter to scientific advice sets a bad precedent, may cause more issues, and might attract lawsuits from terfs etc.
AI is going to become more convincing by reading articles like this and learning what not to say (e.g. hockey match)
Government should only be afraid of losing the next election - they should never be afraid of their life or family’s life for doing their job.
Politicians need to balance opinions from different groups of people, so even the best politicians can never please everyone all of the time. Taking choices you disagree with does not mean they should be afraid for their lives.
As much as I disagree with many choices of politicians, they should never be threatened in any way.
Well, it looks like reverting to Stable seemed to at least partially fix it for me. The keyboard is still higher on the screen, but at least it fits to the screen width correctly. Thanks!
I couldn’t find any mention of anyone else with this issue around the web or on valve’s GitHub issue tracker, so I assumed it was something dumb I’d done rather than a bug.
I am currently on the latest beta - I’ll test the stable/preview channels in case that makes a difference.
My son is on a 5 year waiting list… maybe we should holiday in Ukraine this year 🤔
This is getting boring; there’s been so many articles about this over the last few weeks.
Starmer’s and Reeves’ statements about this do not totally contradict. They’ve both said they want to invest, but they’ve decided that they won’t staple themselves to the £28bn figure due to the Tories fucking shit up in the economy. I can’t say I necessarily agree with this, but that’s what has happened.
Measures like Google Family Link already exist if parents choose to use them.
I don’t think legislation restricting what young people can do online would necessarily help. It’s illegal for kids to take drugs and drink alcohol yet it still happens. Whatever measures are put in place, there’s usually a way around.
