What is voter registration? Seems like you dont respect the ballot

Beardy Bloke @sgrairl.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I wish it were so! But its not that simple. Look at the constitution, you ALL refuse to address it. Look up the X Case in Ireland. Our constitution said a raped pregnant child could not travel to get an abortion. National crisis. National solution, almost overnight. But too late for X.

In many ways yes, in other ways no....... I mean this genuinely, but it didnt occur to you, a liberal, educated person that I might be outside the USA (95.5% are) so where does everyone else in the USA sit? Our fear is, as always, USA acting independently without regard for anyone else.

Accepted! But the original article was from Ireland too!.. I had a staff member who was spat at and slapped by a homeless person, I put up bostwick gates to protect our staff in the full knowledge it removed a sleeping place. Its the law, I had to act. Life is always a balance

Yeah, but the "UN scale"...? Anti US bias from the start

Well as is clear on my bio, I don't live in the USA. Nor were any of my comments in anyway related to the USA. Nor was the original article about the USA.

For the avoidance of doubt, I agree homeless people need and deserve help, I'm just tired of people throwing nastiness against employers and building owners obeying the law and protecting staff. I can't be selective is how I risk assess my own staff and leave one section blank

Bostwick gates!

Beardy Bloke @sgrairl.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Once this risk manifests itself, in concept or reality, the employer must act. Its not malice that creates spikes and Borthwick gates. Its care for staff, in so far as theyre complying with the law.

Beardy Bloke @sgrairl.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I'm not, you are. I'm not talking about laws protecting homeless people. Every employer has to perform a safety assessment of all risks points. They have key holders, window cleaners, early and late staff. Rough sleepers are, sadly, not the calmest people. They are a risk so staff.....

Beardy Bloke @sgrairl.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Should we dismantle worker protection and mandatory risk assessment by employers? Its not the nasty party pushing an agenda, these things happen for a real reason to protect others, as required by law

And thats saying something!

I'm doing a similar track, but in my case focused on getting away from USA companies. Its just not safe for us.

No one should use it! If you do use it, you support him and everything he does. Simple as that.

Unlike any sensible Republic the USA does not refresh its constitution. Something like Roe v Wade, in any other country, including my own (The X Case) is immediately dealt with by addressing the issue found in the constitution. So the make up of the supreme court never gets this point..

Yet the only (major) airline refusing to use it is Delta. People bang on about voter fraud but miss the most important vote of all in the modern world - their money. If you fund Musk, you support this. That includes flying on a Starlink airline - it absolutely includes using it...

Decades for ALL Americans to wake up to how dangerous that was.

I'd read about it, but never encountered the modern UK madness of queueing at a bar! Utter nightmare, which I refused to join in...! Thats not how bars work!!!

What I have said all along, the opposition need to be positive and offer an alternative! Not being HIM or picking the most politically correct candidate that suits the party always fails. Winning is all that matters, good for this guy!

I had to have this chat with my son, over an altercation with a male, who was trying to rob my wife. I made a lot of noise and fuss which like the example.. works.. He felt I was too loud and aggressive. Obviously 12 year olds don't like attention drawn to them, but we should never be afraid!

Good job lads! I'm visiting GB, somewhere that knows a thing or two about high rail fares!

I never understood "tenure" jobs for 2 decades cos no one could from the US could explain them to me. Until someone laid it out for me. ALL European permanent jobs are "tenured". Simple as that..

Oh from a UK perspective I don't disagree, you must do that! But equally, our youngsters deserve a leadership that is focused on them, their future. The UK appeared surprised that the Brexit process was driven by & for EU members, especially us in Ireland. Any new applicant process the same.

Sorry cyclo replied to the wrong item on the thread! Hoist by my own petard on that one... We're both blessed by the fact we're not. Go well.

Regardless of if its fake or not its just another sign of how in denial you all are. Mental sickness, voter fraud, external interference. You will do anything to avoid facing the reality - this is what the USA is and where is has been going under all Presidents in last 50 years.

The UK leaving was a disaster, but the one thing it did for us was show the EU as a coherent and committed unit. Portrayed as "anti UK" of course in element of your media! We've had 10 years of waste thanks to that, why would we want 10 more?

Beardy Bloke @sgrairl.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
We wasted a decade on you leaving, imagine our excitement on a decade of you joining again.

Beardy Bloke @sgrairl.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Great to see US media finally covering these things, European media did 20 years ago... hence the very obvious and huge gap between European and American attitudes on this topic.

I like you say USians, thats good! Early on in our chat you recognised I was not! Amazes me how few process what people say through a non USA filter... the idea we have our own constitution for example. Your are a legend
