ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 13hRupert Lowe planning on using the Necromicon next time? 050
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 12/10/2026And the payout side has to be for those that need it, not (being honest) people like me...and I'll include my impending state pension in that as I'm fortunate enough to have saved enough through my life that I don't "need" it We're all children of Thatcher unfortunately 010
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 12/10/2026What, like an education system, and an NHS, and a police force and... 110
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 12/10/2026And a police force. And an NHS. And an education system. And a military. And .. This is the problem...I'll only pay if I get it back is not how society works, even if you are averse to helping the worse off 0120
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 12/10/2026But when you're looking for Foxglove Summer, you'll find 6 other books that need reading as well 030
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 12/10/2026And investigate their agents, who will be representing players at other clubs as well 020
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Listened to a man ranting to his family about a family with 4 kids getting £160k in benefits Think it was probably a headline about a couple on £160k getting child benefit under Tory plans that he misread...or got fed misleadingly on X...but clearly reinforced his Reform vote 000
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Hexadecimal remotes? Is this an alternate reality? 010
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 12/10/2026So, they'reliterally saying they'd put people on a plane back to places they know they'd be killed? 010
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026On 3, yes they do, but outside of environment it should be energy, education, poverty, how they would use diplomacy in getting other countries on board and so on Getting involved, in the most controversial way possible in the Israel/Palestine issue should not have been high up th3 agenda this week 000
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026OK, I was simply looking at the headlines, which is what is being discussed 000
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I'd buy that for a dollar Actually, no I wouldn't 000
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I have read the odd book that I've thought needed better editing, but in the self published space...the idea of handing out advice to a best selling author with a major publishing house would seem a little self aggrandising (and twatish) 020
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026"At risk of"...feels like that covers "may"? 100
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It is an interesting thought experiment to wonder how the Greens would be doing if Lucas had been the leader the last 6 months But I'm getting abuse elsewhere for suggesting that, in a way reminiscent of another site when I used to criticise the magic grandpa 010
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Not what it says? What he says is completely wrong is saying mental health issues are being over diagnosed The report, it would appear, does say ADHD and Autism may be being over diagnosed though Wherever you are on the question, be accurate, however tempting the inaccurate is 200
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Main thing is surely that hardly anyone actually voted...whether it's 20%, 30%, 40%, whatever, it's still a small part of the electorate 000
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Cue the responses with stats about how much their vote share has grown and how its really a win and how Zack can walk on water... The magic grandpa acolytes have really found their new messiah as they port across their issues haven't they 000
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Hate to be a maths nerd but labour up 18 means they were on 28 before, Reform down 0.4 means they were on 27? How did they lose last time? 110
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026You are seriously trying to say that the Zionism motion was just a trivial part of the weekend, and that other things had greater prominence in the gall Please, be serious, this was a failure of leadership by an absent leader who then lost the by election Genuinely, Lucas would be doing better 000
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026???? You literally posted one word, which didn't even really apply 100
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026At a different time, in different circumstances and with different issues in the news Might as well criticise Ed Davey for not doing as well as Lloyd Georgr 100
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026What I know is not the point, the pointis the failure to take the opportunity to lead the news with actual Green issues...that was a failure of leadership 100
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Not a counter to what I'm saying, more an avoidance 100
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It's a by election The Greens stood their leader Green issues (that is environment, not issue the party entryists seem to want to talk about instead) are high up the agenda Hardly anyone voted But apart from that, yes it's a vote of confidence in Polanski 101
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Using stays in the same way as people who deny climate change (old, irrelevant data) is hardly the best approach from the Greens... 100
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 09/10/2026He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy 010
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 08/10/2026So your definition of a discussion is you saying what you believe to be right, and everyone else agreeing with you? Riiiiiiiight.....🤣🤣🤣 110
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I meant coin, but with their policies porridge will proably become the only staple left to feed the youth... 010
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 08/10/2026So the woman who I worked with for 5 years, who I didn't know had transitioned from a man until after she left didn't exist? Or what? "That's it" is not a opening line for a discussion, you clearly have deeply and completely held views that will brook no argument so there is no disucssion to be had 110
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Describing the people you disagree with as having "drunk the Kool-Aid" doesn't suggest a willingness to listen...there are extreme views on both sides and tbh the posts below this seem to imply there is no such thing as transgender? 110
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Yes, that sounds like someone opened to discussing, definitely...🤣🤣🤣 110
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Its such a bullshit discussion How many Americans identify as Irish, or Scottish other Italian...they're still American The whole British/English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish question is just bollocks. If you're a British citizen you're British. What you choose to call yourself below that is your call. 000
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I don't want to be cruel, but was she in Weapons? 000
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 08/10/2026You mean testing the boundaries by being openly racist? 010
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Are they raw milk enthusiasts? I assume they'd take the fluoride out of the water? And stop vaccinations? And bring back the groat? 130
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Too late? I think the argument is that the centre right (which I think is who were talking about here, broadly?) are currently politically homeless Was thinking Labour would drift into that void, with the Greens being the left option but the Greens are imploding and Labour drifting (slowly) back 100
ianlineham.bsky.social @ianlineham.bsky.social · 08/10/2026What I would say is that 14% in poverty, means 86% not...what is the percentage in "wealthy"? And how do we balance that out, rather than give everyone, including the wealthy, more, in order to help the 14%? 040
