Billy Joel, Queen, Genesis, Frankie, George Michael, Eurythimcs, Prince's doves were crying over Neil's holey shoe,
The only thing missing, is the year lacked any really good heavy metal sounds.

1984 - even if I were to only list the ones that made top 10, I don't think I could keep it to under 20 that impacted my music choices. It was the year of an Innocent Man Wanting to Break Free Against all Odds, but being told to Relax, Dancing with tears in my eyes because of Careless whispers...

They also have very different purposes.
Usability and ease of use should always be aims for us, but constant comparison to social media platforms is not (always) helpful. Yes there are things that could be learned from them, but 'be more tiktok/netflix/IG' isn't always appropriate.

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home.

I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

Yeah, we've watched the south Pacific islanders, Samoans, Fijians, Tongans, playing rugby. It's... impressive!

Human rights and bodily autonomy are 'left' now, even 'radical left' in some people's minds. They should be mainstream, normal, accepted behaviours!

Not sure he is - I don't think 'sliding' is accurate, they're already neck deep buried in it!

The polls are lying to us.

7 wins LibDems.

1 win Reform by a whisker.

On that I will wholly agree with you, but that wasn't my point
My point is that NOONE should face those calls. Being an elected official does not put anyone above anyone else.

I'm sorry if you took any other point from my posts.

If you think that's what I'm doing then more fool you.

Richard Oelmann @richardsedtech.bsky.social · 7d

You can take that point if you want.

I still think that being an MP does not put anyone in any better position than say being born in Birmingham, which she could just have easily used. The claim to status as an MP has no more authority than any other job.

Richard Oelmann @richardsedtech.bsky.social · 7d

And I think you need to go back and reread her appeal to having some kind of right as an MP that makes the comment in the lobby any different to a comment about anyone else born in the UK.
Bye

You don't have to be a citizen to not be deported, you have to have a right to live and work here. So tell me why does an MP have any more right to the claim than anyone else?

2

Richard Oelmann @richardsedtech.bsky.social · 7d

The call to deport you is obviously wrong, but at the same time why should the fact you are 'an elected Member of Parliament' make any difference over and above the thousands of others facing the same rhetoric? Does it somehow make you more worthy than a train driver? teacher? care assistant?

But, but AIs are sentient, so we mustn't enslave the (sarcasm, hopefully obvious!)

I think the 'in MSM' is the crucial part of that last statement! If it's not critical of Labour and it's not promoting Refuk Ltd, MSM don't seem to want to know.

In most normal jobs 'call my supervisor' when you are drunk driving is tantamount to 'tell him to bring my firing notice with him, cos I'm losing my job'. Apparently not in DHS!

Is that because Putin is heading down the waxy lemon route so Fagash feels he can push back

Are they then going to provide larger car parking spaces and prevent smaller cars using those??
