StarlightDust , in Far-right disorder in England is at ‘turning point’ after arrests, say police

Cops and politicians are claiming credit for the quick response from local communities, and also the far right having generally really poor organizing practice, calling demonstrations in random locations they have never even seen before and not being present themselves to pull people together.

Add official gov.uk statement on this.

The MOD is committed to undertaking all necessary planning and environmental processes required to gain planning consent for the proposed site and for its safe operation. A comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment (including a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment) is underway in support of our planning application to Pembrokeshire County Council and their granting of planning permission is conditional on DARC meeting all the required safety standards.

I don't follow former twitter links but if I did - would I be rickrolled to a Drifters song?

Flyberius , in BREAKING: A woman has reportedly fallen through the boards on Blackpool Central Pier onto the beach below.

You’d think that maintaining something like the boards on a pier would be a fairly straightforward exercise.

I mean come on.

rah ,

But how will the director of the company that owns the pier pay the mortgage on his six-bedroom house if he goes around “maintaining” the boards?

YungOnions , in Royal Mint opens factory in south Wales to recover gold from e-waste

Cool!

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?

@frankPodmore@slrpnk.net avatar

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

SoJB ,

You’re a pedantic child, apparently

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

frankPodmore OP ,
@frankPodmore@slrpnk.net avatar

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?

Infernal_pizza , in Police station set on fire in Sunderland as unrest rolls on
@Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world avatar

Imagine if we could get people to care this much about stuff that actually matters rather than racist shit

Worse than that - it’s made-up racist shit.

Streamwave , in More than 100 arrested in London as violence flares after Southport stabbings

There’s a lot of simmering anger, resentment and frustration in many communities in this country. It’s been building for years. The stabbing of those poor girls at their dance class by the son of Rwandan immigrants seems to have been the straw that broke the camel’s back.

This isn’t just the EDL (an organisation which disbanded more than a decade ago), this is thousands of English people who are furious. We can try and understand the sources of that fury, and then begin the work to resolve it, or we’ll keep getting these sorts of horrid outbreaks of ugly violence.

We don’t know the details yet. But, if this stabber was a white kid, we’d all be talking about mental health. Non-white kids of immigrants can also have mental health issue. But the worse of the country jump straight to racism, blaming the culture of the immigrant. If this lad grew up here, he has been surrounded by our culture. If there is mental health issues, it’s our fault it wasn’t caught in time. If he went mental for cultural reasons, we can’t wash our hands of that either. If we want assimilation, we can’t other people.

Luvs2Spuj , in Two in five not saving enough in pension for even basic retirement

I don’t expect to reach retirement age as it will keep increasing. If I do make it that far, I expect having to work so long to get there that I will be pretty much a husk of a human.

That isn’t to say I’m not paying into one, but I probably am in the ‘not adequately saving’ group because I want to enjoy the time I have now as best I can.

The future is terrifying and causes a lot of anxiety…

Edit: also wasn’t the state pension supposed to cover a basic retirement!? Fuck.

flamingos , in Review says puberty blocker curb has not led to suicide rise

“We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.”

Mr Maugham said the review considered “current and former” Gender Identity Development Service patients, while his figures were directed to the larger group of “those on the waiting list”.

The DHSC has insisted that patients on waiting lists were included in the review as well.

They literally didn’t, from the review:

I have examined the figures provided by NHSE on deaths in each year between 2018-19 and 2023-24. They are based on an internal audit by the Tavistock of deaths among current and former GIDS patients

apotheotic , in Britain’s richest family sentenced to 4 years in jail

It was a pipedream, but I thought for a moment this was about the royal family.

people_are_cute , in Britain’s richest family sentenced to 4 years in jail
@people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Conviction means nothing if you can’t enforce it. I highly doubt any of them would ever actually see jail.

wewbull , in Britain’s richest family sentenced to 4 years in jail

I object to the British label.

Prakash Hinduja is Indian born Swiss. His brother S.P Hinduja was Indian born British and the billionaire head on the Hinduja company until his death last year. The company itself is Indian, so the British connection died last year and was somebody not involved in the case. This was a Swiss trial of a swiss family.

Plus… Let’s face it. People with this level of money choose their nationality based on financial or business reasons. Wherever gives them the best tax break.

Wanderer , in Profits of UK’s private train-leasing firms treble in a year

Nationalise them all. Then subsidised the shit out of them, build new tracks build new stock. Fuck it let’s party like 1840. (I know railways weren’t nationalised then).

Also railways should own the land around the station.

Also the government should own downtown. But both of those are different matters.

RedditWanderer , in Profits of UK’s private train-leasing firms treble in a year

Private firms that lease out trains for Britain’s railway have seen their profits treble in a year, with more than £400m paid in dividends, official figures show.

The rolling stock companies paid out a total of £409.7m to shareholders and profit margins rose to 41.6% in 2022-23, according to the Office of Rail and Road, as the rest of the railway was told to make swingeing cuts and salaries were frozen. Taxpayer subsidies are still running at twice pre-pandemic levels.
