The point is not that banks are faultless (no one claimed they were) but that remediation is possible, as you have just attested to: your friend got his/her money back. Your story shows the system is working—that's precisely what

Watch it with subtitles instead then—most non-English content has English subtitles in my experience. Many of many favorite shows of recent years have been non-English Netflix shows that I watch with subtitles: Fauda, Dogs of Berlin, A Very

That’s fine though. It’s ok to have communities with shared interests and goals. Sometimes that means keeping out people who prefer something different. That’s ok too; they can start a forum for their community and impose whatever condition

In fact, strongly anti-Tory. The current Tory Party is too progressive for his tastes.

Are you implying that all those Jews worried about anti-semitism in the Labour Party lack basic sense? I'm not sure they're likely to find that a comforting response.

And this attitude is why hundreds of thousands of liberal and left-wing Jews no longer support the Labour party.

They are the final court of appeal, but they can't strike down primary legislation because Parliament is sovereign. They can strike down secondary legislation and legislation that may be contrary to the Human Rights Act (with the agree

There are so many people in this thread talking nonsense about the UK. The current Tory (right wing) Cabinet (the executive) includes Rishi Sunak as Chancellor, Priti Patel as Home Secretary, Savid Jaavid as Secretary of State for Health, K

There's so much that's factually wrong with this comment I don't know where to start. 1. The UK does have a Bill of Rights (It's different in England and Scotland). The English one pre-dates the US Bill of rights by a ce

On that we can agree. Social media is a scourge. But it's also true that people believed crazy things before social media.

I'm not so sure that's true. The logic of both left and right people I've talked to is something like: Western elites are terrible, Ukraine colluded with those elites/is their puppet (wanted to join Nato/EU/etc

What would a non-flawed plan look like? One that results in everyone having "correct" beliefs? I'm pretty sure it would be a great deal worse than what we have now.

The evidence is that it's only 15%. Free speech doesn't guarantee everyone will have right beliefs. In fact, it's a certainly that in a free speech environment lots of people will have crazy beliefs. Free speech does, howev

I find the best tactic in this situation is to let the other party exhaust themselves. You're never going to be heard, so just listen (actually listen, not pretend) until they've got whatever they want to say out, and then make a

I too will assume good faith, and point out that you have not responded to the point about disparities in violent crime rates. All you've said is: "some white supremicists make the same argument". That's not a refutation

To which court are you going to appeal for redress when those rights are not upheld? The UN declaration of human rights is nothing but an aspirational fiction.

That sort of account-based marketing is a different kettle of fish. It's only worthwhile if you're targeting big prospects who will spend enough money to offset the costs. That said, ABM is increasingly popular for businesses wher

So fix the education system. That would make a real difference to millions. Restricting court appointments to individuals of a particular color is tokenism that helps no one except the person who gets appointed. At the very least appoint th
