UK economy only G7 nation to shrink in 2023 - IMF
Chomper Higgot replied to Scott's topic in World News
I don’t need to ‘debunk personal experience’, I simply point out their inherent flaws, a) they are not verifiable, which might not matter so much if, b) they may fictitious. Nobody has debunked ‘so called verifiable data’. Posts demonstrating a the extent of ignorance of statistics and data are not debunking statistics or data. -

I think we first need to ask ourselves if we believe the claimed personal knowledge is true. -

There is the potential in all data for flaws. Reputable data collators and analysts declare the flaws. Just like all observations have flaws and reputable observers declare the flaws in their observations. Anecdotes posted on an anonymous online forum are perhaps the best example of ‘flawed’, being as they are, completely unverifiable. -

Passports are not accepted as payment for food, let alone the gas bill, rent or council tax. Which is a shame, given they are valid for ten years and personal circumstances can change dramatically over such a period. -

No, I didn’t miss it, I do understand statistics. I mentioned income disparity above and pointed out the problem it poses for ‘anecdotal observation’. -

Given your aversion to official UK Government data published by the National Office of Statistics, you might want to go door to door and check for yourself. There is no need to poll millions of houses, many of the facts of food poverty are available from verifiable data, by example records of the number of children receiving free school meals, records of the numbers of people relying on food banks etc. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9209/ -

The fact that some people have money to spend on holidays while millions of others are struggling to feed themselves is not an argument against the presence of mass poverty in the UK, it’s simply an indication of income disparity. Like data on poverty the Office of National Statistics has the verifiable data on income disparity. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personalandhouseholdfinances/incomeandwealth/bulletins/householdincomeinequalityfinancial/financialyearending2021 -

Sunak ‘risks full-scale trade war’ with Brussels by scrapping EU laws

The lunacy continues. All on board for deregulating workers rights, consumer rights, environmental protections. It might distract, for a while, from the other stuff the Government are failing to fix. -

‘They’ are going to hide ‘the truth’ from you, ‘they’ are going to put it with all that ‘other truth’ that ‘they’ are keeping from you. Agent Moulder was right all along. -

This is what happens when money is spent on doing things and building stuff for everyone rather than tax breaks for the hyper wealthy. -

Spending money on infrastructure and creating across the whole of America. -
I’ll agree abusive people will look for an excuse to justify their actions. But it’s precisely the same behavior ‘you/they made me do it’. The reason Tate has abused women is rooted in his own psychology. Anyone admiring/defending Tate and his behavior need look inside their own heads to find the reason.

A couple of years back I had a conversation with a lawyer friend on the prospect of AI taking over jobs. His response was [paraphrased] ‘it won’t happen for legal work, there are too many complex issues to be considered in legal arguments’. My response was something along the lines of ‘give it time’ I had in mind a decade or two, and yet here we are already.

I see, so it’s this ‘Woke agenda’ is what’s behind Tate trafficking abusing and raping women?! Violent abusers and rapers of women have existed throughout history, they are not the product of the inventions of the rightwing’s culture war. Tate is simply a current example of violent abusive masculinity. Get over your self inflicted grievance stroking, men are not the victim here, this is not about politics, it’s not about race, it’s not about invented culture wars, it’s about heinous crimes against women committed by Tate. Decent people regardless of race, gender or political persuasion can see that.

Amongst the many problems of US health care is the fractured nature of provision. Health and welfare services are not integrated, preventative medicine practice is reliant upon individuals choosing to engage and that’s dependent upon them individually having the finances/insurance to do so. By contrast, a patient on the UK’s NHS being treated for life threatening health conditions will be provided with a full suite of health and welfare services, including home welfare assessments before discharge and home health visits during recovery. The patient is given the care they need not the care they can afford. Better health outcomes are the result.
