You know, they don’t actually check the address or name you put in when registering for a nectar card. Imagine what would happen if enough people accidentally put the wrong details in there - I can’t imagine the data would be worth as much if it’s mostly nonsense.

… unintentionally endorsing collective punishment.

It's the sort of thing he could clarify in an apology I think.

I think he kinda did tbh.

I think the best you can say he didn't do it on purpose. He clearly had a soundbite ('Isreal has a right to defend itself within international law'), but maybe he didn't actually listen to the question before using it?

Gaza is a de facto open-air prison

Honestly, I think an apology will be on the way. I think he tried to "soundbite" himself through an interview without really listening to the question or thinking about how it sounded.

Brexit hasn't done us any favours, but I don't really see what it has to do directly with the scrappage of HS2 phase 2?

At some point though, surely humanity and justice have to take precedence over politicking - I don't think the need to tiptoe around issues like that is a good enough reason for excusing the collective punishment of 2 million people.

I think they're a necessary evil, nothing ruins multiplayer more than cheats.

Is this an equilavant of stolen valour but for DJs?

He’s very much sliding down the alt right pipeline now

Those things that aren’t really fixed to one end of the polictal spectrum, sounds alot like the silicon valley VC lot too

Honestly, this sounds more like you just don’t like children.

Can people please stop asking Tony Blair for his opinions?

The manufacturing consent machine goes brrrr

Honestly, I think the ‘reforms’ it needs are undoing the ‘reforms’ of the last 2 decades.

I think you’re being naive if you think Starmer will do anything about it

oh sweet summer child

Is it by a Mr Iain Banks?

TBF I do think there’s a cultural aspect. If you search for ‘XL bully’ half the video results are about how to get your bully XL dog to build muscle mass and look intimidating. It seems people that are attracted to that breed are so because they desire (at least on some level) to have a dangerous looking dog, and actively work to make the dog fit the role.

I’m unsure how you address that behaviour, but it is a problem.
