Real grass is not consumed

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but in many cases people are laying it over what otherwise would be concrete, or gravel places that are not suited to a lawn.

I just installed one of these for my g/f in her back yard catio and I think it's great. I play 7 a side on it twice a week.

Why would people want such a useful material 'banned'? If you don't like it, then don't install it. If it doesn't work out great in your space, then you can always remove it.

In terms of waste, you can say that about literally everything we consume.

That’d be great. It feels like so many people you read or watched from.the seventies to the nineties was up to no good.

I am in my 40's so I don't remember the 70's, but 80's and 90's it really was a different time! I mean honestly so was the 2000's, when I think of some of the TV that was made. Remember something about Mirriam?

Loss of earnings or reputational damage I suppose, I think these might be quite hard to demonstrated but like you I'm not entirely sure.

We will have to see how it develops, I'll be honest, it would be quite nice if one of my heros wasn't actually a bloody sex pest for once.

Wouldn't they need to show damages in civil court?

Isn't it?

Seems like it is to me.

[–] G4Z@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

Why is it, this concerns me more than most parents I know? I don't have any kids to worry about, I think it would be nice if the human race kept on after I go.. I just don't understand where the alarm is on this issue with normies? They just don't seem to give a shit.

All those wankers in Parliament, they nearly all have kids and families as well (Bozo has at least 8) and none of them have lifted a finger. I guess they think the oil money will save them or something.

You’ve obviously decided to vote Lib Dem regardless of reality

I haven't decided anything yet, there's a long time until the election.

Maybe Keith will be toppled and Ed Miliband will come in and start saying things I like, and then I'll change my mind.

I’m not sure there’s any point continuing this discussion.

Well I have listened to your points, I did some research on the ULEZ thing and I just don't think that's the reason they lost this by-election. the current state of things Labour should be walking that and I don't believe ULEZ explains it, most people won't have to pay anything for ULEZ it's a total non issue.

If you think that’s a reason to vote Lib Dem, I guess that’s your right.

I mean, they support PR don't they?

They always have and they've never played politics with the issue, same for the SNP. I'd vote for that even if I didn't like their other policies.

I’m going to vote for the party most likely to do the kinds of things that we both want: Labour.

If I thought they were going to do the things I think we agree need doing, then I would agree, but I don't trust them and I definitely don't trust Keith.

I should say, I quite liked what he had to say about Brexit and things before he became leader and in fact he was my prefered choice for leader (not that I get a vote as I am not a member of any party and I wouldn't last 5 mins in Labour with all their rules anyway) , I am judging him based on what I've seen.

The trouble is, there is no party that really is offering the radical change we needed 20 years ago. At least voting for a PR party we can maybe get that done and maybe in 5 - 10 more years we can start getting some actual good policy.

I'd be quite interested to know why it is you have as much faith in Starmer as you do?

It's not nearly enough none of that actually fixes anything it's again just faffing at the edges and I don't believe he won't u-turn the second the Daily Heil throws a headline at him.

What you need to realise is that there's a growing number of people feel the same, we are sick of this shit.

As for the Lib Dems, doing what their members ask, I have two words: tuiton fees.

Yeah, a fucking Labour policy in the first place.

[–] G4Z@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah you are so right, and I don't buy the ULEZ excuse either, nobody is excited for vote for Keith, are they?

[–] G4Z@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

How doesn't it make sense, those are policies I would like to see, that a lot of voters would like to see actually.

You’re advocating for a bunch of policies proposed by no parties

Yeah no shit mate, that's exactly the problem.

vote Lib Dem?

So what? I've voted LD in the past because they have had more progressive policy and they support PR voting reform unlike Labour they actually implement as policy objectives the things their members vote for, unlike Keir who just ignores his party on issues like PR. Yeah Daveys not inspiring, but neither is Keith.

The party that comes closest to what you say you want is Labour.

No it isn't, I just laid out for you the kind of policy I want and Labour are a million miles away in Tory land.

The cowardly thing for them to do would be to pretend that everything’s just great, that we can all just cross our fingers and wish the Tories away.

Isn't that exactly what he's doing? Crossing his fingers and having power handed to him by default because the Tories are hated and the voting system is shit? That's what it seems like to me.

They’re actually out there trying to win the votes they need to make things better.

They are trying to won votes, but HOW are they going to make things better? Are they going to do anything about those major issues I mentioned?

Because all I've heard from fucking Keith is Tory talking points about growth and tough on crime and it makes me want to fucking vomit.

You know if he said he was going to be tough on Tory criminals and criminal wealth hoarders like the Royal family.. I could get on board with that, but we all know what that shit is about it'll be 'anti social behaviour' and cracking down on poor people smoking weed and shit.

Edit :

Also, I know this is youtube comments but I just came across this, just take a look at the comments under Starmers interview here it's remarkable how similar in general they are to what I am saying and there's LOADS of them.

You can’t expect them to fix everything

I don't but I do expect them to grapple the big issues, like our broken electoral system (and the media and it's ownership for that matter) and climate change, I'd like them to actually redistribute all the wealth in this country i.e take it off the billionaires and aristocrats and companies that are hoarding wealth.

Labour’s current pledge to reform planning rules to allow more housebuilding (and actually more building generally, including onshore wind) will go some way to fixing that problem.

It won't, it is faffing about at the edges, we need to stop anybody who isn't resident here owning property and we need taxes on multiple ownership as well as a mass social house building program.

None of that will happen if they don’t get elected. That’s the bit you’re calling ‘pandering’ and I’m calling ‘media management’. Allowing yourself to get distracted by the marketing, which I’m afraid is what you’re doing, instead of the substance, is a mistake.

I know, and I personally think is cowardly as fuck.

Make your case and bring people with you is the way to actually gain support, all he is doing is playing the same old FPTP game. With no intention of reforming it.

I know I know perfect enemy of good and whatever, but I think he's shite, I'm very disappointed.
