I know I’m being pedantic but murder requires intent, it seems that the majority of these cases are manslaughter, still illegal though and just as sad.

I’m not convinced that the Tories downfall were their right wing policies, most people are thinking of partygate, Lizz Trusses disaster budget and the cost of living crisis in the ballot box.
I personally think that labour would have won whether they were trying to court centrists or not and labours biggest risk is that the the Tories will mop up the reform vote.
This election shows that the Tories still have a HUGE core vote, these are people that will never vote labour and I think chasing reform voters is a fools errand because it’s likely they’ll never vote labour either.
I’ve personally not met anyone that voted Reform for who immigration wasn’t their top priority.
I know they’re not a single issue party unless you consider “the Tories aren’t right wing enough” as a single issue.
Love to see it.
Yes. Thinking that reform will always be there is extremely naive, reform can disappear just as quickly as UKIP did after Brexit.
This is clearly a great result, but I think that given the popular vote, that it’s important to accept that this election was anti-tory, not pro-labour.
Labour have five years to make a substantial tangible change in people’s lives or we may very well find ourselves back where we left off or even worse.
This isn’t an open and shut case. People were pissed off with the Tories, but Tory voters have not switched to Labour, many of them have switched to a party even further to the right, reform, and that is the electorate that the Tories are now going to be chasing for the next election.
This vote wasn’t anti-rightwing, it was simply anti-tory and the chance that the next election will yield a party even further to the right of the previous government is considerable.
I think saying that the island is covered in transphobes is doing the UK a huge disservice. I’m absolutely not saying things are perfect here and of course there are a few absolute knob heads, but the UK is one of the most accepting countries in the world and the diversity of the UK shows that.
Don’t let a few bigots paint a picture of the whole country.
We need to keep in mind that this was an anti-tory vote, not a pro-labour one. This is shown by labour only increasing their vote share by 1.6% when compared with the previous election.
Labour need to ensure that they’ve made positive changes that the average person can feel by the time the next election comes around because you can guarantee that the Tories are already planning on how they’re going to mop up the reform voters.
Same but there was also an equally sized labour surge that kept the SNP out.
Labour absolutely need to accept that this was a vote against the Tories and that they’ll really need to make some positive changes that the average person can feel if they want to win the next election.
The Tories will not be chasing the labour electorate, they will be chasing reform’s. If they can mop up the right vote they will be straight back in to power.
Reform has 14% of the popular vote. The Tories will be chasing that.
Standing against a guy that’s a raving lunatic doesn’t make it OK to be senile. Hilary was a shit candidate and look what that got us.
Possibly, or maybe your comment wasn’t well written enough.
Because we can debate all-day about what is a man or a women or non-binary and gender roles etc. But I would say debating what is a male or female is much easier and simply comes down to genetics.
Edit: imagine getting down voted for saying XX chromosomes are female and XY is male haha, I guess we’re just ignoring the science of genetics now
That’s absolutely not what I’m saying and I don’t appreciate the insinuation.
Is English your second language? I didn’t say it can’t be associated to a person or group, I said it doesn’t need to.
I also didn’t say that you can’t have more than one problem, I just addressed the one you seemed to be concerned with and defined it as one that I’m not interested in debating.
Which sports do the women often beat the men in?
Vernacular doesn’t need to belong to a person or even a group of people.
If your problem is with the people who say it and not the word itself, that’s a different issue and one that I’m not really interested in debating.
There are very few women chess players at the top level of the game. The reasons for this are debatable, it could simply be that women are less interested in chess or that women are put off by a male dominated “sport”, but I’ve also heard that men are much more likely to have a specific type of autism that makes them especially suited to doing well at chess.
I’m absolutely open minded to the idea that women can become top level chess players and that women’s titles could be made redundant, but I think it’s reasonable to see the evidence of this before we say that it’s an equal playing field for both sexes. I’d suggest that we should see a decent proportion of women in the top one hundred players of the world, or even the top two hundred and fifty.
Given the current ranking of chess players, it’s really hard to say that women have the same chess ability as the men and I absolutely don’t want that to come across as sexism, it’s just factual.
Feasible in cities and large towns (if they have a reliable public transport infrastructure), not really feasible anywhere else.
