It’s amazing how this comment didn’t break the ‘be civil and nice’ rule (also weird that hexbear doesn’t block non-admins viewing removed posts, imo Lemmy should do this by default).
I don’t know what we can really do about this, other than warn new users about ml’s campism and tendency to remove criticism of anti-Western governments.
“HMRC, I can assure you the OnlyFans subscription is a business expense. Yes I had to get the 36 month package, who knows what this mad woman will take off, er, I-I mean pull off next!”
The bellend unfortunately has a point. Labour has declared a number of ultra-safe seats battlegrounds due to how much they’ve fucked up on Gaza. We’re probably stuck hearing from this raging bigot for some years to come.
No new patients under the age of 18 in England, Wales and Scotland will be given hormones to suppress puberty if they are experiencing gender dysphoria
Puberty blockers sure are funny old things, somehow they’re safe to prescribe to cis kids, but when prescribed to trans kids they suddenly become dangerous. I’m sure this is a purely evidence based policy. It must be. Wes Streeting has already endorsed it and, as people on here keep saying, Labour are the trans-friendly™ option. They wouldn’t just throw trans kids under the bus.
If our politicians are already bought and sold to the point that calling for these industries to be regulated is pointless, then why would politicians listen to our calls for ‘open weights by default’.
If we don’t have the power to stop generative AI, then what makes you think we have the power the change copyright law? Generative AI uses up huge amount of power and water to the point of causing issues for national infrastructure. There is a clear climate case to be made against generative AI and unlike copyright law the public actually care about climate change.
I was making my own post about this, but I’ll just post what I was going to write here instead of having two posts about the same thing.
Labour deselects left-wing candidates
Two Corbynist have been barred from standing by Labour party, with a third suspected to be also soon be barred.
Lloyd Russell-Moyle, MP for Brighton Kemptown, has had what he described as a ‘politically motivated’ complaint made about his behaviour eight years ago. He notes that the complaint being made so close to the election that there isn’t time for him to clear his name before then.
Meanwhile, Faiza Shaheen, candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green, announced on https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-politics-69075181 that she had been deselected over a collection posts and likes she made on Twitter. She says one of the tweets brought up is one describing her experiences of Islamophobia within the Labour Party.
One that she apologised directly for is this tweet of a John Steward sketch captioned with “every time you say something even mildly critical of Israel, you’re immediately assailed by scores of hysterical people”.
Leaked Whatsapp messages have revealed that Poplar and Limehouse MP Apsana Begum has had a complaint made to the NEC about her by her CLP calling for a selection vote, supposedly from friends of her abusive ex-husband.
These announcements come on that back of Starmer allies being parachuted into seats, including director of think tank Labour Together Josh Simons, and NEC member and director of Labour First and We Believe in Israel Luke Akehurst.
