Zip2 , in Thames, Yorkshire and Northumbrian Water face £168m fines for sewage spills

This is per day, right? Right?

Darkard , in Thames, Yorkshire and Northumbrian Water face £168m fines for sewage spills

That just half year profit for Yorkshire water alone.

CaptainKickass , in Mosque leaders find moments of hope after violent disorder

Have any of the mosque leaders condemned the violence that led to the riots?

Have you?

CaptainKickass ,

How hard is it say that stabbing children is wrong? 🤦🏽

FFS.

frankPodmore OP ,
@frankPodmore@slrpnk.net avatar

And yet you still haven’t actually said it. I think it’s reasonable to ask what it is you have to hide.

CaptainKickass ,

You’re a pedantic child, apparently

CaptainKickass says they stabbing children is wrong

Now I will block you’re childish, pedantic ass 😘

GiveOver ,

What about your mum? Has she condemned it yet? Why not? It’s not hard

Yeesh, it’s not every day projection is this obvious.

I assume they really have blocked me, but I leave it to the good Lemmings of Lemmy to decide whether the non-sentence, ‘CaptainKickass says they stabbing children is wrong’, really constitutes a condemnation. The truth will out!

Flax_vert ,

The guy that did it was an immigrant from a Christian majority country and had a Christian family background. There’s no evidence or reason to believe it has anything to do with Islam

blackn1ght ,

What’s it got to do with the mosque leaders? Does absolutely everyone have to make public statements?

tal , in Britain’s nuclear submarine software built by Belarusian engineers
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

Britain’s nuclear submarine engineers use software that was designed in Russia and Belarus, in contravention of Ministry of Defence rules, The Telegraph can reveal.

It seems to be a popular trend.

…org.uk/german-sub-navigation-system-russian-cont…

German media has reported that the Russian controlled ‘Navi-Sailor 4100’ has been installed on at least 100 vessels operated by Germany’s military, including the submarine fleet

Bild reports here that in 2005, under Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, around one hundred vehicles, including aval platforms, were equipped with new navigation systems from Russian company Transas.

www.wartsila.com/ancs/…/navi-sailor-ecdis

  • Real time monitoring
  • Remote support 24/7 chart and service support with a complete history of records and remote diagnostic option
  • Connectivity + Cyber security

Those seem like things that maybe it’d be a good idea to get from somewhere that isn’t Russia.

I remember poking around a while back when that story broke and discovering:

  • The Navi-Sailor package directly connects to radar and positioning systems, so there are external radios interfacing with it. That is, their behavior can depend on what they receive from an externally-accessible radio, even independent of any explicit datalink systems.
  • The supported maps by the Navi-Sailor package include formats specified to permit flagging map information as classified, including classification COSMIC (which is specifically used for information shared at NATO level that’s TOP SECRET-level and disclosure of which would be “gravely damaging to NATO”). Now maybe the German Navy does a really great job of restricting what information goes to the software, but I sure wouldn’t bet on it.
  • It’s driving their warships. Lot of room for things to go badly there.

GreatAlbatross , in UK protests: No 10 to hold Cobra meeting over escalating violence
@GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk avatar

For those unaware, despite the (awesome) sounding acronym, a COBRA is a meeting in the Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms.

They generally involve people at the top of the decision tree for the involved parties. The meetings for the foot-and-mouth outbreak for example brought in the highest levels of MAFF.

If they don’t like foreign workers keeping the NHS going they are welcome to refuse medical treatment. That’d fix a few problems.

Zip2 ,

As soon as these twats are identified then put them on NHS black list. And strip of all/any benefits.

And deport them to Australia.

I hate that I have to share a country with these people.

The UK that I grew up in was multicultural, and proud of it. And now this.

So much misplaced anger. Yes the economy is fucked, and your life is probably in the shitter, but immigrants aren’t the ones to blame for this. Blame the 1%

Which doesn’t suit the 1% hence all the misdirection of people’s anger. They learned their lesson during the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution drove home the fact that it can happen again and they’ve been running scared since.

tiramichu ,

Oh yeah, of course. The rich have done a very good job of deflecting blame and convincing people the blame lies elsewhere. Excellent marketing and diversionary tactics.

Just wish people would see through that.

That is one if the most annoying aspects - they’re being played and either don’t known or don’t care. Some people want to wreck things and aren’t that picky about the motivation.

You know, the funny thing is, that these Global South/Third World migrants, most of them have migrated mainly because the Global North’s countries decided to dominate these migrants’ countries through unequal exchange/resource and labor exploitation, such as the Philippines, which is the reason they came here in the first place; to escape poverty!

Don’t they just shed their human suits every now and again?

Joking aside, It’s never about the individuals, it’s the system of greed and vested interests. Once the robber barons get their hooks in they can be difficult to shake off this side of the guillotine or firing squad.

EnderMB ,

The UK that I grew up in was multicultural, and proud of it. And now this.

Was it?

I fully support multiculturalism, but these cunts have existed for decades, whether it’s the national front, Britain first, EDL, BNP, etc.

The only difference between then and now is that back in the early 2000’s we treated these cunts like nutters and didn’t entertain their delusions. They were treated like you’d treat anyone with extreme views - with caution and distance.

@Naich@lemmings.world avatar

I put the blame 100% on politicians and newspapers who pandered to the racists and dressed racism up as “legitimate concerns” in order to stoke up anger and get votes. Their policies gave us Brexit and now this shit. Wankers.

EnderMB ,

They absolutely deserve the blame, but the point is that these people have always existed, and probably in much larger numbers than we’d like to believe.

A lot of people seemingly believe that the UK went from a country that loves all immigrants to a hate-filled country in just over a decade of Tory rule, but all that has happened is the government and the media have informed the public that extreme views are welcome in society.

IMO what needs to happen is a swift push from the government to say “no, violent protest will result in prison” AND actually fucking stopping them. The police know ahead of time where people are protesting, and the second so much as a can is thrown at a building the police should be making arrests - hundreds of them. Doing anything else sends a message that peaceful protest results in jail time, whereas torching an immigration law firm or hotel is fine.

Yeah, I grew up in East London. I remember clearly in the 80s my Sikh PRIMARY SCHOOL classmate, was beaten up by national front thugs. Yeah, primary school kids were fair game.

People like this have always existed. Make no mistake, they're always on the periphery, waiting for an excuse to use as the thinnest veneer of their main intention, just to come out and start a fight.

nonailsleft ,

I think it’s a misconception that these people are angry at immigrants for economic reasons. They’re angry at immigrants because they’re racists.

Schal330 ,

They are without a doubt using whatever they can as an excuse to be their racist selves. Unfortunately the media and Facebook/WhatsApp echo chambers exacerbate the issue further, working these Neanderthals into a violent frenzy

Racist right wingers in the US: “We’re not racist! You people call all Republicans (conservatives) racist! Also, Kamala is a DEI fake black person.”

Most of the worlds conservatives: “FUCK YOU PEOPLE THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM ME!

It’s almost like most “conservatives” are racist assholes no matter where they’re from…

To be fair: Nurses sometimes do stab people.

floofloof , in Huw Edwards pleads guilty to making indecent images of children

According to the article he was sent the images by another man, he repeatedly asked the man not to send underage images, and he didn’t keep the images or forward them. He was charged with making indecent images of children and pleaded guilty. Does this mean that anyone who is sent such images can be legally guilty of this, even if they don’t request or want the images and delete them right away? Could malicious parties use this to get anyone they choose into trouble by sending them images? Or are there other considerations that go into making such a charge?

TedZanzibar ,

According to the Crown Prosecution Service, making indecent images can have a wide definition in the law and can include receiving them via social media.

Edwards’s barrister Philip Evans KC told the court: “There’s no suggestion in this case that Mr Edwards has… in the traditional sense of the word, created any image of any sort.”

I suppose the facts that he a) retained some of the images, b) didn’t report having received them and c) continued talking to the man has some bearing on his charges.

theskyisfalling , in Far-right thugs throw rocks at Filipino NHS nurses on way to work

These cunts are the ones that should be put on some disgusting prison barge before being forced onto an aeroplane and sent off to Africa not the poor people that risk their lives to try and come here to seek asylum.

See how long they last last over there with their pathetic way of thinking. We lost our membership in the EU because of ignorant fucking idiots like this, now we have to put up with this kind of bullshit. This country is a fucking joke, these ignorant white English cunts need to fuck off.

Being English is such a fucking embarrassment.

reaper_cushions ,

No one in Africa wants them, you may fly the plane past Pine Gap, though, Australia being your former penal colony and all.

theskyisfalling ,

True. It was more a reference to them wanting asylum seekers shipped off to Rwanda (I think it was), but in reality I don’t wish these people upon anyone.

boyi , in Malaysia is first country to issue ‘do not travel to UK' warning over riots

Newspaper Title:

The Exact Malaysia Travel advice:

Malaysians residing in or travelling to the United Kingdom are urged to stay away from protest areas, remain vigilant and follow the latest updates and guidance provided by local authorities.”
