Fundamentally, the true British culture is better than refuk. Their actions, language, etc, are just ‘not cricket’. Which I find ironic for these plastic patriots.

I have recently discovered that the bbc / kuensberg won’t discuss criminals associated with refuk unless a member of refuk is in the studio, which is odd.

My pinned post (which I’d love for someone to read) is quite revealing and troubling complaint response from BBC

If you’ve taken the time to read this, thank you. The more I think about it, the more troubling it is, but am only a meek licence fee payer.

So I’ve written back

I should leave her howling at the bots & trolls on X/Twitter. Total irrelevance and hypocrisy from the most dishonest ex-government party in modern history.

I’m struggling with this take. A u- turn implies they reversed a decision and it remains where it started. They’ve improved a shite situation for new employees from 2 yrs to 6 months. This is even better than the 1 year that it used to be. Surely this is a good thing overall?

Hardly a u-turn. More of a gentle bend. Celebrate the improvement!

All employees protected from day 1 if dismissal is on grounds of race, religion, disability, etc. This has been the case for some years.

What I’m saying is 6 months is way better than 24 for new employees. Day 1 may be the ‘perfect’ target for some opinions but most contracts have a probation period, so day 1 ruling would probably do more harm than good. Unfair dismissal applies from day 1 now if protected characteristic involved.

Why use the word ‘ditched’. They’re moving the crazy 24 month rule to 6 months instead of proposed day 1. I’ve also seen ‘u-turn’ used. 6 months is great news and should be reported at least in neutral language, if not positively.
