Locking people up for shoplifting isn't gonna reform anyone either, it makes an already overcrowded prison population even more dangerous.

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

Labour's Britain, where trans women who have fully consensual sex with men will be sent to male prisons where they are at a high risk of sexual assaulted and rape.

She's been jailed - to be raped every night.

She's in a male jail. Despite living as female since she was 13.

The monstrosity of this truly can't be explained. So many young people are gonna grow up with their loved ones, this is gonna have devastating consequences in the society as a whole. This is what Biden, Kamala, Trump, Vance, Starmer, Lammy, Sunak, etc. have caused.

No... Israel is far more violent, destructive, murderous, it's also got a lot more support and arms. Diplomatic cover has allowed it to continue it's mass murder spree for years.

Israel is objectively way way worse than ISIS.

So you are equating Israel with ISIS? T

MM refusing to do anything on climate shows that he puts disproportionate weight on the opinions of lobbyists for data centers, car manufacturers, dairy, etc cause support for government action on climate change actually unites people across the country..so who is he talking about?

Weird how the US is such a free country that we only have 4% of the world's population and yet we need three of the ten highest funded militaries on the planet.

(Yes, US municipal police and ICE both have budgets that rank in the top ten of the world's militaries.)

GB News is not a commercial media company. It is a far-right propaganda outlet that does not even try to operate on profit/loss terms, but is paid for to the tune of tens of millions of pounds a year by its rich extremist backers.

If it wasn't it would have shut down long ago.

GB News pay party political leader Nigel Farage over half a million pounds. The TV channel pays him five times his MP salary - and as much as his other 11 further external jobs put together
