How are they tackling the drivers of the downfall of society; the evaporating social safety net, and aggressively underpaying the employed thanks to oligarchs? Foreign wealth buying up real estate? Polluters poisoning the water, the air?
Will these super expensive new measures go after and hold accountable at all, the wealthy?
No? I'm shocked.
Remember, crime is only for the poor.
If you say Free Palestine they'll throw you into the gulag.
Hi I'm Officer Johnson, the dedicated overseer, I mean officer, for your sector, I mean neighbourhood.
The most unnervingly creepy government press release I ever saw.
Do they even care any more? It's like they're only pretending to try and make it look palatable.
Did you forget to switch to your alt?
I knew Lemmy was just the same 12 people having conversations with themselves...
Welcome to fedi where not everyone uses it in exactly the same way as you.
You are getting downvoted not because you're using it in a different way but because you're using it in a way only has downsides. It's fine in a chatroom but kind of annoying on a service like this.
It goes against internet norms that have existed since the beginning - and for good reason. Your one thought takes up 90% more screen real estate when you reply to yourself instead of putting it all in the first comment comment.
I mean no disrespect, I just want to clarify why it's looked down upon.
Contributing to stupid fucking thread derailments about inconsequential points of netiquette as we have both done here is of course another fine tradition that has been around since the early days of the net. But you know, it's not like there was a hell of a lot of other discussion happening on this occasion. The original topic deserves a thousand times more attention than it gets.
All right, man. I wasn't trying to be a dick or anything. Just seemed like you were misinterpreting why people were annoyed by choice to double reply
I have never been so cowardly as to feel the need to use an alt when replying to my own comments.
Mate what in the fuck is going on in this country? We've truly lost the plot
Some asshole over there finally read 1984, and decided to make it a reality. Shit gone crazy.
What could go wrong? /s
Nice to see we're keeping up with China! Social credits incoming...
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
