I get that but it’s just not that big a deal really is it. The vast majority of the people in the UK are dog people and I’m glad we haven’t kowtowed to the minority who aren’t by making people leash dogs at all times. A dog occasionally coming to check you out is part of public life here.

I just worry every time there’s a moral panic that we’ll go the way of the US. I’d hate that for the dogs, owners, and me, who loves it when a dog comes and says hello

E: this wasn’t in reply to you HDS, hadn’t seen your post. That’s a hell of a run of bad luck.

ah yes, the minority of people who have issues with dogs because of past incidents should just go gently caress themselves

What’s your alternative suggestion? I’m sorry if my extremely tame, literally never nipped or growled at anyone in her life, 8 year old Labrador coming up to give you a sniff scares you, genuinely, but that’s life. Sometimes you’ll have to go through things you don’t love because society can’t be expected to adapt to every single fear people have.

Make people who are scared of dogs walk round in big cages like an armoured zorb is what I’m really saying

uh keep your dog on a lead? it’s not exactly a hard alternative to come up with

thinking that your freedom to let your dog roam is more important than other peoples’ freedoms to not have panic attacks is really making you sound like a Tory

Knew that was coming. No, sorry, my dog’s happiness at being able to run around in the park is more important to me than that, particularly if they’re going to act like a oval office about it like you do about almost everything.

E: particularly given that in my lifetime of dog ownership this has never happened. I’m sure it does but the fact you want all dogs leashed because an extreme minority are scared of them is beyond ridiculous.

lol wanting people who might have PTSD because of a previous dog attack to feel safe is “acting like a oval office”, got it got it

This is my take summed up more calmly than if JC hadn’t blustered in being an aggro prick as usual.

My dog has good recall, and if someone doesn’t look like they want to be approached they won’t be. A lot of people do in fact want to be approached though :woof:

I’m sure your dog is the goodest bestest dog on the whole loving planet but sadly there are other dogs who aren’t and if they’re all allowed to go rushing around everywhere off lead then bad things *will* happen

sorry that encouraging you to maybe spend half a second thinking about people and situations that aren’t you and yours is “being a aggro prick” I guess

The 1906 election wasn't a million miles away from the Irish Parliamentary Party having more seats than the Tories, with a massive landslide for the Liberals, who would continue to dominate 20th century politics and remain relevant today under popular and charismatic leader Ed Davey.

I think that kind of domination would lead to more like "10 years of more Blairite poo poo followed by a brand new party as people get tired of it" than God-Emperor Keith.

397/670 is, uh, a bit less dominant than 500+/650

Good, Labour should scrap the entire thing and spend the money on the other lines across the country. The connections between Manc-Brum-LDN are light years ahead of what the rest of the country has to deal with, and this entire project was just an attempt by Osborne to have some sort of infrastructure legacy, despite it not being what we need.

this isn’t Sim City, you don’t get all the money back if you cancel a project halfway through

No but there’s also such a thing as a throwing good money after bad. Given areas like mine continue to have unelectrified lines, forgive me for not thinking Osborne’s idea of throwing another 100 billion at another train connection for London is a good thing.

It's one of those "worst person you know" moments, but Morgan is in the right here. oval office though he is, Brand has got the right to due process and he shouldn't be tried in the court of public opinion - especially if it might let him get away with it.

if he didn't want to be tried in the court of public opinion he probably shouldn't have raped women while being a celebrity

liz truss was on the verge of saving the economy from stagnation, but her brilliant ideas were thwarted by a sinister cabal of COMMUNISTS who HATE GROWTH, the cabal being specifically named as:

- the OBR
- economists, in general
- the tabloid press
- the conservative party

Tories have the world’s shortest memories I swear to god

we know what happens if we try Truss’s plan because we already tried it and everything went to poo poo, but now a year later they’re all queueing up to call for tax cuts and less regulation

kingturnip posted:

Yeah, but Labour probably won't cut taxes if they win the next election, so the window in which to make the rich happy is getting smaller and smaller.
It's not about fixing the country (well, Truss probably thinks it is because she's remarkably stupid), it's about setting up a free-for-all looting spree that no-one will go to prison for.

I’d be shocked if they don’t, because Rachel Reeves has been talking about how we need ~growth~ before we can invest in public services and there aren’t many other ways to make it look like you’re at least doing something

I’m expecting a corporation tax cut and then 5 years of nothing getting any better while Labour keep saying that they need to get out of the hole that the Tories left them in

It's not that someone is being held to account, it's that the CPS is apparently ignoring their own guidance on what to prosecute for some reason.

Wasting the court's time and needlessly upending the life of a citizen for political reasons?
