Damn, I would've expected this kind of rhetoric from "ReformUK" or one of the other alt-right parties, but to hear this from someone meant to be representing labour is horrid. Such little empathy towards these people fleeing the horrors of their home countries - deport people like her to Rwanda then see how they feel about what they're advocating for.

Edit: Also, glad to see a new alternative frontend for Xwitter since Nitter got nuked out of existence.

Too many people end up in debt spirals with these BNPL companies because there's no consistent safeguards against it, so we absolutely should be regulating them better. We shouldn't be leaving financially vulnerable people to the wolves.

Absolutely disgusting. Poor nurses trying to save lives and they're paid back by having these racist EDL cunts throwing rocks at them. Should get Keir Starmer send these pieces of shit over to Rwanda instead, and see how long they last.

As @theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com said, these are the same ignorant arses that brought us Brexit, and continue to make our country look like an absolute laughing stock on the world stage.

While completely daft on part of the passport office, I suppose this is a cautionary tale about naming your kids after popular TV characters (particularly those with unique names). Turns out it can cause you a spot of trouble

Wow a Republican with a spine, I didn't think those existed anymore

“If it cannot, it risks losing much of the invaluable investment, tax revenue, and entrepreneurial spirit that they contribute.”

Ah yes, because the rich are truly the most generous class of them all...

• They invest in initiatives designed to make them more money, or to reduce what they pay in taxes.

• They pay the bare minimum possible taxes after playing around with so many loopholes it would make your brain hurt.

• And who could forget that entrepreneurial spirit!

It's the same trickle-down economics argument as always. If the rich leave because they're actually being made to pay their way, the economy would disintegrate because we'd lose businesses like "Arton Capital" that...

"empowers high net worth individuals and families to become global citizens by investing in a second residence or citizenship"

What a tragedy it would be to lose businesses like these! /s

Also, is it not slightly biased to have the person the majority of your article about millionaires wanting to leave the UK quotes be the CEO of this company above who makes their money helping millionaires leave the UK?

That'd be like me getting an ice-cream man to discuss people wanting more ice-cream during the summer. Like even if it was true, you couldn't have picked a less biased source?

Sounds great until you realise these rules, with respect to POWs, are broken so often that they're barely worth the paper they're written on.

As far as the companies go, their lack of resources is an entirely self-inflicted problem, because they're won't invest in increasing those resources, like more IT infrastructure and staff. It's the same as many companies that keep terrible backups of their data (if any) when they're not bound to by the law, because they simply don't want to pay for it, even though it could very well save them from ruin.

The crowdstrike incident was as bad as it was exactly because loads of companies had their eggs in one basket. Those that didn't recovered much quicker. Redundancy is the lesson to take from this that none of them will learn.

I think what @riskable@programming.dev was saying is you shouldn't have multiple mission critical systems all using the same 3rd party services. Have a mix of at least two, so if one 3rd party service goes down not everything goes down with it

Here we go again. Right-wong pundits claiming Trump didn't mean what he said, all the while Trump's out there saying he meant exactly what he said. We've been here before, don't be fooled.

I think the only remotely sane person in the room was the one at the end who shouted "there are things you don't do". Albeit they're all advocating for genocide, so none of them are respectable.
