🤣 this post died in April. It just doesn’t know it yet.

Are you saying Jess is a fascist?

Should have taken it home and given it to Jess’ litter box.

So it sounds like the call handler was speaking English but the councilor herself didn’t understand English. Maybe she needs to go back to school?

Hopefully this will be good for consumers worldwide.

Until America decides to tariff anyone using Chinese technology.

Nice it seems Voyager is a clear winner!

It’s not clear how they will police this. Will you need to provide ID at point of sale?

You have to right now if you’re lucky (unlucky) enough to still look like a child otherwise the seller is fined quite substantially and they do spot checks to enforce this. Same with alcohol. The difference is that the lowest age will increase each year.

What metric? Metric? The metric would be: Deaths. Perhaps you mean sources of this claim?

NHS Statistics on Public Health 2023 shows that smoking was attributed to 74,600 deaths. The same statistics show 408,700 attributable admissions to hospital due to smoking.

The Office For National Statistics showed that, in comparison, there were 10,473 deaths from alcohol-specific causes. Whereas the Government figures from another study showed there were 339,916 alcohol-specific hospital admissions, 280,747 alcohol-related hospital admissions under the narrow definition, and 1,018,986 alcohol-related hospital admissions under the broad definition in England (you can read up on the definitions yourself).

So in terms of deaths smoking is by far the greatest of the two evils. Whilst it is right to point out alcohol still causes harm if the government were to focus on one then smoking and vaping is the right one to focus on.

If it “reeks” of anything it reeks of making a compromise of what is more damaging to society and what could reasonably be done given the current circumstances.

Smoking / vaping hands down trumps drink. That’s not to say drink isn’t damaging but of the two what is more damaging.

It’s actually one of the more sensible things this government has achieved.

A lesson the Democrats will learn.

No. Not policy. Memes. Yes. It all makes sense now.

“If you add up the total of these two time periods, there were 14 meetings with Zionist groups and five with pro-Palestinians,” Professor David Mond, a member of CAMPAIN’s executive committee, told Declassified.

Correlation does not inply causation. Dear lord. And this person is a Professor?

Not that I am excusing the BBC before someone waves their finger at me. But this reporting… I expected better.

Why is it so hard for the British government and civil service to not be utter fuck ups? Is this too much to ask?

Of all the things I thought Sharon Osbourne was… a racist nutter was not one of them.

How disappointing.

Not if the US has anything to do with it.

Protectionism and fear mongering forces ASSEMBLE!

Honestly I don’t know what is wrong with people. A 78 year old?
