If they stick to this it's a small victory for common sense. If the law is broken it's a crime. If it's not then the police have no business getting involved.

Starmer considering new digital ID scheme to tackle illegal working

The prime minister says the proposal could play an important part in tackling illegal working in the UK.

I wouldn't mind seeing him take the job at some point in the not too distant future but I'm sceptical that labour will ever return to it's socialist roots.

This guy is not nuts but he is premature with his case, it won't be long coming though. It would be prudent to hash out a consistent answer to the ethical questions being raised before it becomes a real problem. Not taking slaves would be preferable to freeing them after decades of slavery.

There is an assertion in this article that human personality is stable and persists through time. It really isn't and it really doesn't. Take away the obvious physical clues and I doubt we would even recognise our friends and family from one day to the next.

Unhelpful since it says struggling to find a word may or may not be a sign of dementia. Not sure what the "unexpected" news is.

That's exactly what they are, slaves working a shitty job for low pay. Exploited to the max by the money grabbing bastards who run the "care" industry.

They know that PSA tests exist they also know they give a huge false positive test rate. 75% of men who test positive don't have prostate cancer. That's why they are not in regular use in the UK.

They don't want you doing it, hence; "In most cases Spain’s rooftop solar is connected directly to the grid. Doing it any other way is complicated. To wit: A 181-page government guide details a 17-point pathway for homeowners who want to become energy self-sufficient."

The amount of restrictions that governments place on anybody who tries to fend for themselves speaks volumes. All they want is for everybody to pay into somebody else's pockets.

Don't worry there's no chance of those gains being underestimated, plenty of people will overestimate the significance that's for sure.

The key word is disenfranchised which is how we feel now. When Starmer attacked the vulnerable it was the final straw, now there is truly nobody looking after our interests. They will pay at the next general election and things will just keep getting worse. The system needs radical change.

Jed Slocum @w45tr3l.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Still 400+ to 5, and that party with the 5 MP would most likely be far more cruel given the power to do so. They are all self serving regardless of party. The system is well and truly broken.

Trans people are explicitly protected from discrimination by the equalities act. So no it hasn't. They still have the same rights as the rest of us.

The's what started all this, America and the UK offering Ukraine "robust" security guarantees in exchange for giving up their nuclear weapons. Then doing fuck all when Russia attacked Ukraine.

One of those is possible the other isn't, comrade.

Slippery slope to a two tier system just like the other place. Is the algorithm going to promote posts from verified users? That would totally ruin the best thing about Bluesky, everybody has an equal chance of being heard. Sorry to see this. #Bluesky #Twitter

It is an irrefutable fact that biological men cannot become biological women. That's how the world is nobody is forcing that view on nature. Males of the human species cannot become females. Not by surgical mutilation or hormonal medication. Claims to the contrary are simply false.

And the one who resorts to ad hominem attacks during a discussion is often the one who is failing to make their case rationally.

Your mental schema is your business, what matters to society in general, and to the law, is biological sex, not some woolly concept of gender identity in which anything goes. You can't change biological sex, biological men can never be biological women. Trans women are not women. Obviously!

Jed Slocum @w45tr3l.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

No implied negativity in my use of the term. But it's strikingly obvious that a person with say a penis and vagina is suffering from an abnormality. Something has gone awry in the development of their genitalia. Similarly, a man who believes he is a woman clearly something has gone awry somewhere.

I don't care, even if this bullshit were true I don't want some Yank bastard trying to use trade deals to manipulate our government into making changes. Thanks, but no thanks we don't need your "help" in running our country.

Can you Trademark something that's already in somebody's book? Obviously they both got it from Stranger in a Strange Land so how can one claim the other copied it from them?

Reading between the lines that means Ukraine has to surrender totally before Russia will talk, good luck with that mate.

Doesn't quash the powerful argument that Biden was mentally incompetent and didn't have a clue what was being signed on his behalf.

Jed Slocum @w45tr3l.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

David Hume, his profound but good natured scepticism resonates with me. I found the idea of rebelling against meaningless to be just as absurd and meaningless as life itself so Camus didn't inspire me.

060

Jed Slocum @w45tr3l.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

Although this is another example of Trump doing whatever he wants, regardless of the legal considerations, I suspect he's right about the way those pardons were authorised. It was obvious to the world that Biden was mentally incompetent at the end so somebody else was probably behind those pardons.

The one take episodes worked well but the messaging was heavy handed and the story although emotionally gripping was over simple and quite dull. The early promise of a puzzle quickly evaporated and we were left with a depressing but vague critique of red pill ideology and gen X parenting.
