You can only really apply it the other way around.

If you totally ignore 15 years of austerity politics. Plus huge cost of living rises.

Unfortunately that shit did happen. As such all council paid utility workers have are seriously under paid and over worked.

So no in no way shape or form is she correct to blame the workers. As this is clearly what she is doing. As such yes the Union is entirely correct to indicate her membership is unwelcome.

The shit in Birmingham is the direct result of 15 year of governments refusing to fund the cost of maintaining our infestucture/staffing. And the fact Birmingham is our so called second city. With the 2nd greatest costs of all staffing and inferstructure. But without the funding protection London gains. Is why the funding has hit that location first. Other cities will follow if this shitty attitude to service funding continues.

Right or wrong.

The Union is required to support the needs of the workers. That is why they exist and why said workers fund them.

So the Union is right to remove her membership when she openly argues against the needs of the workers.

You also need to consider what is actually happening when working class people strike against a government.

You have 2 sides. The workers are giving up their very ability to live and support their families. To fight for a cause. While they have 0 other way to fight the local government.

So it has always been common when such fights effect voters. For the government to use public inconvenience or “disgust”. To weaken support for the workers.

Are you suggesting it is the striking workers to blame. Rather then the council refusing to meet Thier requirements?

Because that is why she is suspended. Buy a union who exists purely to stand up for the workers.

Nope. Just because a majority disapprove of an idea. Is in no way a reason for that idea to be removed from view.

On the other hand. If parent wants to prevent their children from being exposed to an idea they disagree with. Then those parent need to be with the children and monitor the books they read or select from a library. Just like the internet.

They do not get to enforce their censorship on the children of parents who do not worry about such simple ideas. Even if those parents are a minority.

Hiding ideas from view. Is just confession that they lack the ability to effectively argue against it.

Added to idea they recognise very simple geometry

The fact they communicated the idea to at least 11 Wales. Then openly demonstrating this fact to humans.

Is way more sci fi plot like. Sounds very like a star trek tng plot idea. Alien sludge creatures trying to prove to another race. That they are more then lighting oil to be killed and sold in barrels.

Or

Hey those killer Wales. They are only giving you fish. So you trust them close to your boats again.

They plan to leap into the small ones and capsize you. Then they will present us with monkey hats.

This is absurd.

Yes Palestine Action broke the law by damaging insanely expensive property. And like any protest that dose this. The right or wrong of the cause has no effect on the legal requirements of the actions.

CND, Greenpeace and many many other protest organisations have also commited expensive crimes over the decades.

When a government starts deciding what citizens can or cannot support rather the how. It is no different to banning book or speech.

Unfortunately. They need red ties now.

PIP was created by the Tories in 2010 entirely as an austrrity attempt to decimate DLA by removing working age claimants. And making it harder to claim.

It also resulted in 10 years of Tories losing court cases were a huge % of us claiming we’re forced to take DWP to court over refusals. And won.

The Tories literally gave the task to private companies and financially advantaged them to reject claimants. Resulting in out right lies on huge numbers of investigation being submitted to DWP. While leading directly to 100s of disabled people commuting suicide. And the DWP hiding the reports proving this for a decade.

Labour is just trying a new method of what the Tories failed.

Heck they are even openly comparing to the highest tory rejection years Vs years were we won court cases years later. As the main dates for their claims the numbers have gone up.

Did you some how fail to read any news over the last 15 years?

9 years now post ref. Of UK govs and media arguments.

“The UK should not follow any forign rules”

Hardly surprising the one thing that requires some agreement on unified rules. Every trade agreement ever signed.

Is not something anyone trust the UK on.

It stuns me the % of Brits who seem to fail to understand. Ensuring simplification of products meeting each others rules is the main point of any trade agreement. Taxes and fees. Really represents very little challenge compared to that.

And all the EU trade issues the UK has faced since Brexit. Relate to the cost and complexity Brits and their customers face proving products are made to the very rules, Brexit twonks keep complaining about and wanting to remove.

people in the higher tax brackets

Translation: wage slaves.

Anyone in a income tax bracket is not the people the left is talking about. That is the effect of billionaires owned media distorting the conversation. And as a slave to that media High wage earners fall for it and distort the conversation every time.

Over the last 40 years. Post 79. The wealthy have taken a much larger % of GDP growth while paying much less often 0 tax.

They do this in many ways. But most often by running all their income through multiple corporations. Then taking money out as personal debt. Look at how musk funded his corporate purchases. They use the asset value of big corps. Tho gain such low interest. It is way lower then any tax bracket.

The media then argues fixing this prevents mum and pop businesses competing. While those very businesses are disappearing into debt scams like this. Purchasing the competition. Then pulling huge dept income from it before selling off all assets.

Not to mention. The concession is basically. Wait for a report. With 0 requirement to follow the results of that report.

So you can fuck over the support for disabled independence. But must wait a while. If the MPs considered this in anyway a requirement. They would wait for the report before passing the law.

More like. UK high court dose not have the authority to enforce gov treaties. Only laws as created by the UK parliament.

If the UK parliament allows laws that break treaties like the Geneva Convention. Only other signees of that convention can do anything to stop them.

This whole idea of international law is not really a thing. Just agreements between nations and political will to enforce them.

From the left maybe. But this is exactly what Tories did in 2010. Then gained a majority.

A huge part of society just refuses to notice disabled people in society.

From recent memory. 3.6m successfully claim pip. So 2.5 % of population.

But retired or under 18s are not pip elegable DLA still applied there. So above 5% of working population is more likely.

But most PIP claimsents are working. Often because PIP helps covers the every day cost of adaptions they need to live and travel independently. Holding a job down without it would be hard for all but the high paid. And even for them. These benefits reduce the cost to society of being 100% accessable. So removing them is a false economy. Many will need greater support without it. Leading to higher costs for the NHS and other (mainly council run) services.

As we saw very very clearly when the Tories did the same thing creating PIP to make claims for DLA harder for working age adults.

Cool.

Personally I find it easier to picture % of GDP then number. And find exact number less informative. Billions are just to large a number to visualise.

But can understand others may see things differently.

So to add. GDP is the total of all final goods and services purchased in the UK.

So for every £20 you spend on living costs. £1 is expected to go to defence.

For a better comparison. Under £4 goes on VAT as many items are at lower rates.

Either way. It’s a pretty huge % of government revenue.

£192 billion is also what the DHSC expects to spend on the NHS for 2024-25.

Same goes for all of us living in the UK. Given the actions of our own government.

Get your head out of your arse hole.

Nothing in the thread requires your anal level of analysis. The vast majority of 3d printers are 500mms.

I have no requirement to consider one printer made by the same fucking company when answering if the speed relates to travel or print.

When you are review an academic paper such anal interpretations may matter. Some jo commenting on print vs travel in just fucking pathetic.

First printer this size and price range. Above 500mm.
