  • On the one hand we have

    Man claims he needs benefit that he no longer gets

    And on the other we have no critical analysis or explanation of how the cap works and why £2.50 would reduce benefits by £500. Without this it sounds like “old man grumbles”.

    If this is true then its awful, but I would have hoped that a BBC article would provide a bit more context.

    If these people are really that bad off then we should just provide a better pension rather than fucking around with lots of tiny allowances. Either people dont have enough money and have to choose between heating and eating and we support them, or they don’t.

    I need some, any, context before I can understand this.




  • What’s being green got to do with being left wing?

    This is really the problem with left/right, you can be green and Tory or Labour. Green has little to do with supporting workers rights or supporting the church and monarchy.

    [Edit] To clarify, being against building and preferring green spaces is a green position and also a driver for NIMBYs.

    Tories get played as fools by their own party constantly, the little old dears in church voting Tory aren’t supporting them because they keep moving more fash.









  • Oh gotcha. You mean before it went Dual Shock 3? Sorry I thought you were referring to the multiple iterations the PS1 had.

    Advantage over Dual Shock 2 was that it was wireless, and I do appreciate that, but I completely agree that PlayStation layout is great.

    I do like the Dual Shock 4 when on the computer, as the little touchpad on the front helps with SteamOS when dealing with shitty interfaces for 3rd Party Launchers that demand a mouse and keyboard.

    If I didn’t encounter them occasionally then Dual Shock 3 all the way as I dont normally need any of the other “features”.
