As someone from the northern reaches of Europe. "Bizarre folks, these Christians! Can't trust 'em!" turned out to be very true.

Teachings of peace, love, and charity, delivered at the end of a blade. Assimilate or die became their modus operandi.

A strange bunch.

Generally I disagree with most calls for defederation because I didn't join Lemmy to join an echo chamber. We're all enriched by diversity of thought and opinion. Even if we disagree with those thoughts and opinions. And playing "which account has access to which servers?" is an annoying game to play. Defederation should, in my opinion, be the last resort that a server takes.

But this instance is bot spam, it's not enriching the Fediverse but homogenising it with Reddit.

So no objections from me, good call flamingos!

Never thought I'd be on the side of the redcoats, but alas you make a good point.

I understand now why so many traitorous Scots put on the coat.

That typo adds a certain je ne sais quoi to your comment, bravo.

Have you considered installing the roundabouts anyway and removing the driving licences of those incapable of manoeuvring around a simple roundabout?

Driving is not a right. If they can't perform simple manoeuvres without endangering others, they shouldn't be controlling a machine that can easily accidentally kill.

Could be suspicious but could also be because the EU is big.

Population 449,206,579

53% of the population aged 6-64 play video games.

How have the Conservatives done on key issues? Slow progress has been made on social housing. From 2013 to 2023, the number of social rented homes fell from 4.0 million to 3.8 million, according to an estimate by the UK parliament. By 2022/23, just 15% of new affordable homes were for social rent. Before 2011 it was over half. In the 13 years before the Conservatives came to power, 362,000 new socially rented homes were built. In the 13 years from 2010 to 2023, this fell to 171,000.

All this combines to create an acute housing shortage. The National Housing Federation estimates there are 4.2m households in England with unmet housing needs.

The number of social homes being built has fallen by almost 90 per cent since the Conservatives came to power in 2010, new official figures have revealed.

Just 1,409 of the lowest-cost homes were started in England in the 2017/18 financial year - down from 39,402 in 2009/10.

Not to mention a revolving door for housing minister, with 16 people being minister within a 14 year period. Almost as if they didn't really give a shit about the position because many of them are landlords.

"It is now nearly £10 million for a door which does not work. Somebody accountable must be identified and should perhaps resign for this terrible waste of public money," he said.

Meanwhile, Conservative Peer Lord Hayward estimated that the costs incurred from ensuring the door was manned at all times — in order to be opened — amounted to roughly £2,500 (€2,890) per week.

£2,500 x 52 weeks = £130,000 a year.

But there's no money for disabled people. Gotta tighten the purse strings, sorry! Have you tried pulling yourself up by your boot straps?

Hmm... Why would the party of private interests and profit result in a downturn in building and higher profits for private interests?

That's a tough one.

Notice that drop between 2010 and 2020. Fucking Tories.

It's definitely Muslamic

The state need not kill those that killing themselves
Don't make it an easy job for 'em

The killing of kids with £2 chicken and chips
Is a tactic of war, waged on the poor
Can't save wages on slave wages
And you don't think fresh fruit with your face on the floor
Nah, you need money for the kids
Rent and light plus food in the fridge
But that last box can be the hardest tick
'Cause scraps will suffice but they might make you sick
As a child I used to chow take out
Twenty-four hours later skin break out
Felt so heavy with it sitting in my belly
Dessert was a sugar coated candy jelly
Fam that's pig meat. Mashing up the kidney
Make sure no government has to kill me
I was killing myself till I realised danger
Brain, heart, liver and lungs can hit failure
Now season daal and veg with fresh herbs
Cut caffeine because it messed with nerves
Plenty lentils and chickpea curry
20 minute meal for a man in a hurry
That's real fast food that won't break the bank
With enough nutrients to fill the tank
Drink water for the body's natural power
But water from taps can taste sour
Food deserts are designed to starve us
No fresh produce but we've got Starbucks
Calories packed in treats to enlarge us
May not see the effects but the heart does
Can't breathe, can't sleep, can't run
Casomorphin wreaks havoc on the lungs
Just like fizzy wreaks havoc on the gums
And my old man said diabetes ain't fun
Ginger root is good for the youts
Blend it up and share a fresh juice
Burn sage, cleanse the room
Body is a temple, don't let it be a tomb
The food you choose to consume can damage
Processed meats intestines can't manage
Cattle farming still killing off the planet
And it tells us everyday that it can't stand it
Earth getting hotter while the sea levels rise
All because you want burger with those fries
All because you want milkshake with the meal
Then to combat diarrhoea you take pills
What's the deal? Eat right, stay active
Stay strong 'cause the revolution is real
Never know when a man might have to dash
And a pig can't kill what a pig can't catch
It's more than just eating right, it's survival
Rasta man tell the youts eat Ital
Daily exercise, fresh air is vital
Whether you short walk, run or take cycle
Meditate to live life and love it
Plus stress increases acid in stomachs
Read and chill to keep the mental covered
And when you find struggle, try rise above it
I find peace in the books on the shelf
Food on the stove while it cooks I can smell
It's gonna be good by the looks I can tell
And it won't put my body through hell, well
Well, I want strength like Phelps
Good practises and discipline helps
Not for the six-pack, I do it for myself
'Cause it's true what they say your health is wealth
Be healthy, be strong, alright

Oh by the way, remember you are a gift to yourself and a gift to your environment
Continue to be that beautiful gift
Share that gift in your food, and all your gastronomic mastery
