It's a super insight into that tremendous, excellent, just astonishing and free Cuban medical system that they cannot either make nor import ibuprofen, right?
Such efficiency and care for the people under socialism, eh?

In Havana today I saw an old woman with a painful injury burst into tears of joy when she got a bottle of Advil. My personal opinion is that everyone who can should go to Cuba and bring the antibiotics and painkillers we take for granted in the US. Antibiotics > “optics”

@SamanthaTaghoy I'd ignore the bedwetter with suicidal empathy currently posting as Drewsnx, its a standard Safety Karen who relies on emotional language z& manipulation then turns off replies when losing the argument.

It was an antisemitic ISLAMIC TERROR attack.
Call it what it is.
You are so terrified of upsetting your Muslim voter base that you have left Jews at the mercy of homicidal terrorists.
You may not have lit the fire yourself, but you are as guilty as the ones who did.
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
The antisemitic arson attack in Golders Green is horrifying. I’ve been in touch with Jewish community leaders this morning and will continue to do so throughout the day. An attack on our Jewish community is an attack on us all. We will fight the poison that is antisemitism.

@drewsnx Maybe people suspect that the safety Karen's once they get 20mph in place will ratchet it down to 10 then 5.
After all it uses the same absolutist logic.
English
@drewsnx Not sure if you will be able to grasp the nuances but there are trade offs underlying all human activities.
Maybe society has decided the trade off between economic&social good of 30 mph limit vs low number of RTIs is the right balance & 20 mph is a slippery slope
English
There's a little bit of a difference between mass crowds "breaking the law" as a form of revolution to overturn a regime...
..vs drivers breaking speed limits because they underestimate the safety risk and think they can get away with it.
Nessimmersion@nessimmersion
@drewsnx @mhh02 You are not grasping the issue. Who is we? When E Germans decided the wall was coming down, they were breaking the law. All laws depend on the society accepting them and acknowledging their relevance. Don't see most of our society saying burglary or rape is acceptable.
English
@nessimmersion @mhh02 So where's your proof the vast majority believe breaking speed limits is acceptable?
It's a different question from whether they actually do it by accident or lack of attention.
English
The toddler tantrum reaction to cameras not flashing - like it's supposed to be a courtesy to warn speeding drivers they've been caught - is just ridiculous.
We have a law-breaking epidemic.
Out of every 20 drivers only 3 obey rhe limit.
BBC London@BBCLondonNews
High-tech speed cameras that do not flash when they detect speeding drivers and do not need road markings are to be trialled in parts of London as part of plans to reduce road casualties. bbc.in/4sg5qHX (📸 TfL/EPA)
English
@nessimmersion @mhh02 So if enough people commit burglaries or rape we just give up prosecuting?
English
@nessimmersion @drewsnx If no laws people will push harder to get away with things, when do you say it ok as some will push everything to be legal

@suzycoos @premnsikka @jj2210 The demographic who didnt have enough children as well.
Remember it's funded from taxation, so is dependent on having a growing economy and on enough of our children earning enough in the private sector to keep the vampire squid state going.
English
@premnsikka @jj2210 You mean the demographic that has worked, paid tax and NI, brought up the next generations, been the backbone of Britain? That group of men & women promised a fair retirement now cast aside? What a lovely country.
English
Think-tank funded by the super rich wants to freeze the UK state pension, end the triple-lock.
Full state pension is below 50% of the minimum wage.
2m pensioners live in poverty. 110,000 a year die in poverty.
Democide disguised as financial policy.

@Boenau Yes, allowing the little people to decide what laws should affect them is dangerous when experts and pressure groups have already decided what the laws should be.
English
Putting a safety improvement up for a vote is dangerous when the voters have been conditioned to see traffic violence as inevitable.

English
@nessimmersion Are you honestly comparing that to road safety measures?
Wisdom of crowds!?!
English
@drewsnx A society can decide that the costs of complying with a law exceed the benefits of that law.
Do you consider the east Germans who broke the laws put in place to protect them from the west/capitalism to have been bad because enough of them broke the law to make it irrelevant.
English
@drewsnx A societies acceptance of a law is an observation.
Don't know if this is too complex for you, but trying to make a moral point that its promoter says its a road safety issue therefore cant be discussed is wrong.
It's a trade off
English
@Old_Dubliner @therealmissjo As of 2014, police pension contributions: employee 15% employer 31-38%.= 46 to53% of salary😯
This is unfunded meaning the govt just takes it back & our children will be taxed to pay the nomenklatura pensions thisismoney.co.uk/money/pensions…
English
@therealmissjo Gold plated pensions 😂😂😂😂. they pay £500 min a month for 30 years so will get out what they paid in. If you £100 a month into the bank would not expect a return of £1200 at the end of the year ?
English
I am rather miffed.
639 police officers sacked between 2020 and 2025 for “sexual misconduct”, with some crimes being against kids.
90% of them kept their very attractive pensions.
Why?
Shouldn’t there be ramifications for publicly funded police officers, other than just losing their jobs?
English
@casapinos @DavidMcGregorBN Councils weren't prohibited from getting Housing Associations to build and manage new houses.
Very few councils were willing to give up their control over tenants lives.
English
The problem is that when councils sold council homes at knockdown prices, they were expressly forbidden from using the revenue to build more social housing. Thatcher's view was that council house occupants voted Labour and private owners voted Conservative, so it was an attempt to manipulate the electorate.
English
You have to admire the brass neck of the Tories complaining about stamp duty.
They made it almost impossible for young people to own a home, sold off our council houses for nothing and created the housing crisis.
Now they want to sound outraged that buying a home is expensive.
English
@Ayeawrightthen @Battlefeverpod Again a very telling aversion to posting any links to your bizarre interpretations.
UK including Scotland WAS called the dirty man of Europe.
England has improved the most, & now has more monitoring& fewer sewage overflows per capita than Scotland

English
@nessimmersion @Battlefeverpod I admitted no such thing. It is obvious that if the English equivalent is at an all time low then any improvement will be more than the one that is run far much better. Again, obvious. Glad to have cleared that up for you.
English
Walking through Glasgow City Centre this morning and it really is a dump man.
Shame on the SNP led GCC.
English
@DailyMail More made up nonsense from the Mail. The 20 mph speed limits have reduced accidents and potentially saved lives.
English
Why 20mph speed limits are a menace to motorists that will make roads MORE dangerous - and who is lining their pockets with the speeding fines: SPECIAL REPORT trib.al/xpZClDR
English
@Ayeawrightthen @Battlefeverpod Only so much room in an X post to address the many things you dont understand.
I may come back to PFI later.
Glad to see you admitting I was right about water, well done for admitting it.
English
@nessimmersion @Battlefeverpod What evidence? A story from The Ferret? FFS. You were right about most improved for England water because when it is at rock bottom anything is an improvement. You have veered away from PFI because you know your comments were bullshit. Butt hurting? Projection perhaps?
English
@Ayeawrightthen @Battlefeverpod Reading comprehension problems as well- my - you do have issues dont you?
It was a report on emails sent by Scot govt officials admitting the dreadful performance of those bits of Scotland the Natzis / govt interfere with.
