I can appreciate what he’s doing and shining a light on the situation but it’s unfortunate that his videos attract right wing racists. A lot of the comments I’ve seen are from roasters claiming their “not racist... but”. The people just get in a circlejerk of spreading absolute nonsense and misinformation “I’ve heard from my brothers pals sisters cousin that the gov are covering it up”. They get so caught up in looking like they’re the hero’s or they know this or that that it just distracts from the message that situations like this shouldn’t be happening. There’s also people out looking to see if they can see him and it’s just counter productive, issues like this need to be dealt with my the council, police, social workers and going out chasing likes is not going to help. by Complex_Lock (Mon 14th Dec 2020 11:44pm)

Well if average people believe the solution to a problem is to just send all the brown people away, then yes they’re racist. Also if it is not the job of the council, police and social workers to put a stop to these things happening then who is? Perhaps you can enlighten me since I’m an idiot. by Complex_Lock (Tue 15th Dec 2020 1:44am)

Yeah he’ll be charged under the Communications Act 2003 for malicious posts by Complex_Lock (Mon 8th Feb 2021 12:27pm)

Lmao you think he wasn’t an alt-right cunt before he was arrested? by Complex_Lock (Mon 8th Feb 2021 12:25pm)

So yes he was alt-right before and then after the attention he decided to capitalise on it and become a Katie Hopkins wannabe. Guys always been a cunt by Complex_Lock (Mon 8th Feb 2021 12:33pm)

I don’t think the case made him more of a cunt than he would be if he wasn’t charged. I just think he capitalised on the attention but he would have found any opportunity to go the way he has, since he has always been an alt-right cunt by Complex_Lock (Mon 8th Feb 2021 12:43pm)

The internet needs to stop rewarding people for their cuntish behaviour. I don’t even think these people believe half the shit they say and think their followers are pathetic but will happily take their money by Complex_Lock (Mon 8th Feb 2021 1:08pm)

How exactly do you think the council should know about these issues if not through people reporting it? by Complex_Lock (Sat 20th Mar 2021 2:44pm)

Pre covid I thought the council were good, responding to reports quickly and bin collection pretty good. I think a lot of issues right now are being blamed on covid so once we are back to more normal than now it will be a real test if they can get things back to pre covid. I like how they’ve been pro active in setting things up like the one way system in dennistoun, it’s a bit half arsed but it makes sense even if the car mob moan about it they just need to improve it. by Complex_Lock (Mon 22nd Mar 2021 7:16pm)

You get two votes, one for the constituency and one for list so you can vote for both if you choose to. The stronger vote would be SNP constituency and Greens on the list. I’ll be voting for the SNP because I value things like free tuition and prescriptions and I want independence. Labour don’t have the votes to get in and are against independent. The tories don’t believe in free prescriptions or tuition, are against independence, are the reason for the Brexit chaos and businesses collapsing and are generally cunts. by Complex_Lock (Fri 9th Apr 2021 12:53pm)

LGBT scene is better in Glasgow than Edinburgh, there’s more venues, more nights, more LGBT stuff to do.

Why would a developer set fire to the building when the building isn’t listed and a deal was reached with the old college bar? If anything the fire will prevent them from starting work due to the investigation. The police and fire brigade also don’t give a fuck about the council so they have no incentive to botch an investigation or are they being bribed too? It would be interesting to compare fire statistics to other similar sized cities to see if Glasgow has a disproportional rate of fires though. by Complex_Lock (Tue 4th May 2021 1:05pm)

What about the cost of the delay of construction caused by the investigation or the risk that the police catch the arsonist and they talk? by Complex_Lock (Tue 4th May 2021 1:25pm)

Have you been to many cities outside Glasgow? Because it doesn’t seem like it if you’re that raging about a few eye sores. The city centre looks fine, certainly no worse than anywhere else. by Complex_Lock (Tue 4th May 2021 10:49pm)

It seems like Scotland has a higher fire incident rate than England & Wales. Last year the most incidents occurred in Glasgow, the previous year West Dumbartonshire. Even Dundee (second highest rate last year) seems to have more fires statistically than most English cities https://www.firescotland.gov.uk/media/2252010/fs_officialstatistics_2019_20.pdf by Complex_Lock (Tue 4th May 2021 11:12pm)

Asymptomatic people can spread covid. I highly doubt you keep up with everyone you have come into contact with but I don’t need to be a condescending cunt to let you know that. by Complex_Lock (Fri 14th May 2021 5:08pm)

And all they people they come into contact with, it doesn’t stop spreading after it’s infected one other person. The idea of restrictions is to minimise social interaction. Education was prioritised to open which means other places had to be restricted. Asymptomatic spread of covid also isn’t rare. by Complex_Lock (Fri 14th May 2021 5:22pm)

Isn’t she taking accountability by not easing the restrictions in the two hot spot areas? What should she do, lower the restrictions and let the infections get out of control and spread all over?

The vaccine will be offering to over 18s in the affected areas of Glasgow from next week https://www.scotsman.com/health/covid-vaccine-to-be-offered-to-all-over-18s-in-some-glasgow-areas-as-cases-rise-and-india-variant-suspected-3236249 by Complex_Lock (Sat 15th May 2021 12:03pm)

But we don’t know the ages of the people in hospital? The vaccines are supposed to be 100% effective at preventing hospitalisation and death of covid, so if it not as effective against the Indian variant that is obviously something to be concerned about. by Complex_Lock (Sat 15th May 2021 12:49pm)

50% minus 1 would be 49%… by Complex_Lock (Sun 16th May 2021 12:31pm)

You literally just typed out 49% and asked me to explain how it’s 49%. The .999 still makes 49%, add .001 and it would be 50%. So yes 50% minus 1 is 49%. by Complex_Lock (Sun 16th May 2021 1:01pm)

https://www.pinkprotest.org/endfgm did you do any research before you posted this? by Complex_Lock (Sun 16th May 2021 1:13pm)

It doesn’t work like that. 50 is a whole number, any addition after that would be 50.000000001, for example. But you can’t subtract from 50, like have 50.-1. That would be 49.9. The whole number is still 49. by Complex_Lock (Sun 16th May 2021 1:31pm)

Not surprised someone with a transphobic name is a total cunt. by Complex_Lock (Sun 16th May 2021 3:24pm)

Because Blaire White, who is also a total cunt, is trans. Drawing attention to what’s between her legs is obviously used to mock. by Complex_Lock (Sun 16th May 2021 3:48pm)

No one is obligated to like anyone. However, if the reason you don’t like someone is specifically because they are trans then that makes you a bigot. by Complex_Lock (Sun 16th May 2021 4:19pm)

Would you say the same thing if someone didn’t like someone because they were black? I also never labelled anyone. I said the username was transphobic, which it is. That’s not me calling that person a transphobe, although they probably are given their reply to me. by Complex_Lock (Sun 16th May 2021 4:48pm)

What you basing that on, other than your imagination? by Complex_Lock (Fri 28th May 2021 1:06pm)

That we will go to level 4 after? by Complex_Lock (Fri 28th May 2021 1:11pm)

I didn’t say they said it definitively. I asked what they were basing it other than their imagination. There’s no reason so assume the events will raise the cases to a level 4 territory. We hear constantly that cases don’t spread outside and other events like this haven’t spread cases to warrant a level 4. So just not sure where that assumption comes from other than imagination. by Complex_Lock (Fri 28th May 2021 1:24pm)

Well we’ve heard that cases don’t spread outside and other similar events haven’t spread cases to warrant a level 4 so just don’t see how that could happen. by Complex_Lock (Fri 28th May 2021 1:25pm)

If the UK government locked down earlier and closed the borders we wouldn’t be in this situation. by Complex_Lock (Fri 28th May 2021 1:38pm)

People coming here from other countries will need to have tested negative so not likely many will have covid. It’s not just the population density that has caused the rise in cases. The highest population density is in the leith walk area of Edinburgh and their cases aren’t like ours. The cases are levelling off, with the vaccine breaking the link between cases and hospitalisations the reduction to a level 2 will be justified. by Complex_Lock (Fri 28th May 2021 1:50pm)

At least in Scotland we’ve got a more representative Parliament, something I believe would be established in an independent Scotland too. by Complex_Lock (Fri 28th May 2021 10:54pm)

Are the levels being eased because of the football? by Complex_Lock (Sun 30th May 2021 6:56pm)

Lol this is clear projection. Though it’s a nice reminder that tories only care about political point scoring, where the only thing that matters is your team wins. You contradict yourself too. You say Sturgeon looked to England to see what to implement but then say we are weeks behind England… doesn’t it then make sense measures come in after them? You say everything she does is so she can point fingers at England’s cockups. When has she done that? You’re a Tory so I doubt you ever did listen or care what the SNP said. Just listen to a cunt who wanted to let the bodies pile high, wanted to be infected with covid, has £800 a week of takeaways donated to him while cutting lunches for kids & literally gave away billions of our money to his pals. by Complex_Lock (Sun 30th May 2021 7:47pm)

Most providers have got a coverage map, just google it and it seems to be pretty accurate. I’ve got voxi which is Vodafone and theirs is decent. by Complex_Lock (Mon 31st May 2021 10:32pm)

If you watched the announcement you would know that the vaccines have broken the link between hospitalisations and that now, thanks the the vaccines, only 5% of cases are leading to hospitalisations. This means that places are able to go down levels or stay on levels when it’s possible for more public health measures such as increase in vaccinations to tackle outbreaks. Glasgow also went from 148 cases per 100,000 last week to 132 today, so the cases are going down. by Complex_Lock (Tue 1st Jun 2021 3:03pm)

A couple of weeks ago there wasn’t a mobile vaccine hub, and walk in vaccination centres by Complex_Lock (Tue 1st Jun 2021 4:02pm)

They’ve done massive increase in vaccination with mobile vaccination hubs and walk in centres by Complex_Lock (Tue 1st Jun 2021 4:01pm)

Well no, because a couple months ago there was no need for an increase in the vaccination rate in Glasgow. The whole of Scotland was prioritised, however, the vaccines have been prioritised in Glasgow due to the outbreak. Our vaccine strategy seems to have worked too as we are the thirst highest vaccinated country in the world. https://twitter.com/marcuscarslaw1/status/1399736212060094470?s=21 by Complex_Lock (Tue 1st Jun 2021 4:29pm)

Glasgow can drop a level not just because vaccines have been ramped up. There is never one factor that leads these decisions. The government were looking into if the vaccine has broken the link between cases and hospitalisations and have now found they have. Last week our case rate was also increasing as it was 148 per 100,000. It’s now falling and at 132. Various factors have led to the decision of us dropping a level and not one based on football games. So again, not one factor has led to this decision. Various factors come into play, the falling case rate, the link between cases and hospitalisations breaking and the ramp up in the vaccinations in Glasgow. by Complex_Lock (Tue 1st Jun 2021 5:01pm)

You were the one who seemed to ignore it and say my argument was the only reason we are moving down a level is the ramp up in vaccines. by Complex_Lock (Tue 1st Jun 2021 5:27pm)

I mean yeah if you ignore all the other evidence. by Complex_Lock (Tue 1st Jun 2021 5:26pm)

Again you’re ignoring my points that the drop in the level is not just because of vaccines. by Complex_Lock (Tue 1st Jun 2021 5:37pm)

The ones you ignored. What do you think of the case rate falling? It was increasing and peaked at 148 last week and now at 132, do you think that’s encouraging? If your idiotic point that Glasgow was kept in level 3 for the Euros was in response to that, I suggest you read up on correlation and causation. I mean don’t you think we were kept in level 3 because we had rising case figures? At that point it was also not knows if the link between case numbers & hospitalisations had been broken by vaccines. This was because we had really just emerged from a nationwide lockdown so case numbers were already quite low and it wasn’t possible to tell the impact of the vaccines. You say nothing substantial has changed in the last few weeks but I would argue that cases being on the rise and cases now on the decline is pretty significant no? Also the understanding that the link between cases and hospitalisations being broken is also significant. It was also announced today that this will take us away from an elimination strategy to a managed one. Which isn’t that good? Many people having been challenging the elimination strategy now we have vaccines and that’s now the path the Goverment are on. by Complex_Lock (Tue 1st Jun 2021 5:53pm)

Do you have a source that the link between cases and hospitalisations were known to be broken at that time? by Complex_Lock (Tue 1st Jun 2021 6:08pm)

I never made that assertion. I said it is now known that the link has been broken, evidenced today in the statement where it was said now only 5% of cases are resulting in hospitalisation and it was 10% at the start of the year. So again what’s your source that it was known the link was broken on may 14th? You also have to remember that the outbreak occurred in a community in Glasgow that are less likely to be vaccinated and therefore a higher number of those cases could lead to hospitalisation. by Complex_Lock (Tue 1st Jun 2021 6:19pm)

If that’s true, give me a source? All that means is that those people who are vaccinated are less likely to be hospitalised. The people who are in hospital are in the younger age bracket and unvaccinated, because believe it or not a large portion of the population are still unvaccinated. As there is still a large number of unvaccinated cases can still have the same outcome of hospitalisations. Not to mention that you can still test positive if you have been vaccinated. So again what’s your source that you are basing your assertion that it was known the link between cases and hospitalisations was broken on may 14th? by Complex_Lock (Tue 1st Jun 2021 6:39pm)

Ahhh the “it’s common sense” approach. Lol. The outbreak started in the Pollokshields [area](https://news.stv.tv/west-central/door-to-door-coronavirus-testing-to-tackle-outbreak-in-glasgow) which is an area with a significant [ethnic minority](https://www.understandingglasgow.com/profiles/neighbourhood_profiles/2_south_sector/46_pollokshields_east) population. Who are [less likely to be vaccinated.](https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/04/08/what-is-behind-the-low-covid-19-vaccine-take-up-in-some-ethnic-minorities/) I don’t see how you think my post is like talking to a bot. I was just explaining why your reasoning to the link of cases and hospitalisations being broken was known at that time didn’t make sense to me. Maybe I’m too stupid. by Complex_Lock (Tue 1st Jun 2021 7:26pm)

The cunts on the Dennistoun Facebook will be livid. Never stoped moaning about the temporary one way system that was brought in because it added 5 minutes to their journey time. by Complex_Lock (Sat 5th Jun 2021 3:36pm)

But if we’re in level 2 we should be able to do things that you can in level 2. Transmissibility outdoors has also been shown not to cause any spikes. I don’t understand the argument, like okay now we are in level 2 but let’s not do stuff that’s appropriate for level 2 because it can cause cases to go up. Guess what so can everything else, should we just delay the opening of everything? It really just seems like retribution rather than any real concerns tbh. by Complex_Lock (Mon 7th Jun 2021 1:30pm)

I would phone them and give them the reference from the app. Also I thought flats bin collections are every 8 days as that’s what mines is. by Complex_Lock (Fri 9th Jul 2021 4:50pm)

Sadly housing lists aren’t like wait lists, it goes by priority, so if someone who is regarded as a priority comes on after you they will get a house first. Single men are usually bottom of the pile. Unless you’re threatened with homelessness, or are actually homeless (even if it is sofa surfing) it will be difficult to get a housing association flat. Priority is given to people who are homelessness/ are facing homelessness, or fleeing violence etc as well as people who are living in overcrowded places or their property isn’t safe/ habitable. There are cheap flats on gumtree, some on right move. You can find landlords who will allow people on benefits to move in, mostly private landlords, agencies will be more difficult if they accept you at all. If you’re looking for flats on gumtree just beware, there are people who pretend the flat they rent is theirs, take the deposit and do a runner. Then the landlord/ agency do an eviction. by Complex_Lock (Thu 15th Jul 2021 7:37pm)

You can’t be too poor to be homeless. It may be that you they didn’t want to move you into temporary accommodation because they charge like £300 a week and housing benefit won’t cover that. If you’re facing homelessness you can tell them you are but have a place you can stay so you don’t need temporary accommodation. Also make sure you tell them you have a child who stays at the weekends as you should definitely be getting at least a 1 bed flat. by Complex_Lock (Thu 15th Jul 2021 7:45pm)

There’s places all over Glasgow that hand out free food, you don’t even need a food bank voucher. They should donate to there and signpost where the available help is instead of putting a fridge out in the open. Has it even got power? by Complex_Lock (Thu 14th Oct 2021 3:05pm)

Wouldn’t a cupboard be better then instead of a fridge that has chemicals that could leak from it? Also, it’s pretty understandable that the council don’t want to just have a cupboard with accessible food out in the open. People could tamper with the food and they would be responsible. by Complex_Lock (Thu 14th Oct 2021 4:58pm)

The council would still be responsible if someone tampered with the food and it made someone ill or worse so obviously they would take it away. by Complex_Lock (Thu 14th Oct 2021 9:57pm)

Why don’t they signpost where help is available instead of causing an unnecessary risk? There’s food banks that don’t require a food bank voucher, you can just go and collect. Some even drop off. They could donate their food to those food banks and leave a sign directing people where to go. That eliminates all risk. by Complex_Lock (Thu 14th Oct 2021 11:39pm)

It’s not controversial to help people from starving and acting like anyone here is saying otherwise is being disingenuous at best. Do you work for these people or something? Rescuer syndrome or being a white saviour comes to mind. There are ways people can get help. Efforts would be better spent signposting people in need to the safe, available help rather than causing an unnecessary risk. The fact this has happened multiple times yet a solution is never sought edges this on the political rather than the helpful. In my opinion, at least. by Complex_Lock (Fri 15th Oct 2021 2:43am)

Did you read the thread? There’s a risk of people tampering with food that’s been left out in the open 24/7 without security on the councils property. Obviously they will remove it to eliminate that risk. There’s better ways to get people free food. by Complex_Lock (Fri 15th Oct 2021 12:33pm)

How do you not understand that the council owe a duty of care to the public when something is on their property. Obviously not every instance of food poisoning is the concern of the council because it doesn’t happen on their property. by Complex_Lock (Fri 15th Oct 2021 12:31pm)

We need to tackle the underlying issues of why people attack others, addiction, poverty, education, etc. it’s not because there’s not a well lit path in a park. I don’t know how anyone reading my comments could think I was saying ‘it’s dark don’t go out’. Stay in well lit areas (which a park with a lit path isn’t) stay in urban areas where there’s traffic and people.

Do you think they jail people without believing they are 100% guilty? You don’t go to jail because you might have committed a crime, yet there are still people who are wrongfully convicted.

You missed my point. People are convicted because they are believed to be guilty, if there’s any doubt they aren’t then they are acquitted. So that’s a 100% belief they did it. This is already the case. Yet people are still wrongfully convicted. If we brought in the death penalty we would kill innocent people.

Killing one innocent person would make us just as bad as the murderers so it shouldn’t be an option.

That wouldn’t explain a sudden 10% decrease, it would be a gradual trend as the government didn’t suddenly make people worse off just in that one year after MUP was introduced. by Complex_Lock (Fri 19th Nov 2021 2:56pm)

Ahh, my bad by Complex_Lock (Fri 19th Nov 2021 3:03pm)

Yeah if they increased MUP and inflation made drink more expensive than the MUP then it wouldn’t be affected, it wouldn’t be more expensive because of MUP it would be more expensive because of inflation by Complex_Lock (Fri 19th Nov 2021 3:02pm)

The cheapest wine is £4 so it’s not doubling the price but aye still a big increase. by Complex_Lock (Fri 19th Nov 2021 3:06pm)

If the cause wasn’t MUP and the 10% drop was just an outlier, then the increase of deaths during the pandemic would have been a lot higher then as it was in Wales? by Complex_Lock (Fri 19th Nov 2021 3:39pm)

> The council refused workers’ demands for a one-off “Glasgow Payment” for all workers on grades one, two and three as a means of addressing the cost-of-living crisis being faced by many council workers. This confuses me, surely your wage increase which is 1.8% above inflation is for that? Also, was it not a COP26 bonus before they went on strike and then they changed it to a “Glasgow Payment”? Why would you get a bonus for something you didn’t work for? by Complex_Lock (Mon 22nd Nov 2021 11:30am)

[The cleansing budget has been increased 30% since 2013.](https://cleanupglasgow.co.uk/where-does-your-council-tax-money-go/) The only promise the council made was to increase wages by 5.8% and they done that? by Complex_Lock (Mon 22nd Nov 2021 2:54pm)

No one’s saying they’re doing a pure class job. I was just in the city centre and wouldn’t say it was absolutely bogging or the east end either. What simple services and standards have they broke their promise on? The budget has risen well above inflation, 28% to be exact since 2013.

Sounds like an equally big achievement for Birmingham too. by Complex_Lock (Fri 26th Nov 2021 8:35pm)

Why would the charity lie? It’s not affiliated with the council. You know not everyone begging on the street is a rough sleeper, right? by Complex_Lock (Fri 26th Nov 2021 9:04pm)

That will be why a homelessness charity thought it a good achievement then. Obviously the number of people rough sleeping may fluctuate but it’s a sign of how well run the homelessness team at the council are doing if a homelessness charity thought it notable. Though there’s still improvements to be made in temporary housing but at least they’re getting everyone off the streets. by Complex_Lock (Fri 26th Nov 2021 9:00pm)

Except they’re not booted out during the day? Temporary housing doesn’t mean a shelter for the night and no where to go in the day. If people are genuinely begging on the streets I would say that’s more indicative of the failed benefits system than the councils fault. Some of the people begging on the streets aren’t genuine either. by Complex_Lock (Fri 26th Nov 2021 9:08pm)

The council don’t have any council housing so are reliant on the housing associations to provide accommodation when it becomes available. Most of the horror stories I’ve heard have been issues with anti social behaviour in the hostels/ b&bs where people are temporarily housed but I’m not sure how to fix that.

Contact the council and they will talk you through your options. You will be regarded as threatened with homelessness and the council have a legal duty to help. As it sounds like you will be unable to stay at your current address they might take you on as homeless right away and make section 5 referrals to housing associations in 2 areas of your choice. This basically puts you on the housing lists as a priority. They will also offer temporary accommodation, however, if you can stay where you are for the time being I would advise you do so. https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=17283 Here are the community homelessness teams you can phone tomorrow: https://www.yoursupportglasgow.org/directory/providerlist/455 If they’re not open the out of hours number is 0800 838 502. by Complex_Lock (Wed 29th Dec 2021 10:05pm)

Him locking you out the flat is an illegal eviction. Phone the police and explain that to them and they will arrange for you to be let back in the flat. Don’t tell them you’re not on the lease, if they ask say yes. A lease can be a verbal agreement in Scotland so say it’s that if they ask. by Complex_Lock (Fri 14th Jan 2022 7:33pm)

I said the police would arrange it, I didn’t mean the police would just turn up at the flat and break in. Illegal eviction is a criminal offence, even if OP is a sub tenant this is still an illegal eviction and he has a right to be let in the house. The police would turn up, knock on the door when the tenant is in and when they come out establish that OP was a tenant/ sub tenant and have them let in the property. If the tenant wasn’t in OP can force entry but would be liable for any damage caused - it’s also best to contact the police if you’re doing this in case someone phones them to report a house breaking. by Complex_Lock (Sat 15th Jan 2022 12:53pm)

Except the NI rise is a regressive tax that disproportionately impacts the lowest earners. Someone on £20k will pay 10% more and people £50k+ will pay 5% or less more. Always nice to see when someone who thinks they’re a “middle earner” is a bitter cunt.

Between 12-5am, there hasn’t been any cuts or people losing their jobs, they’re just putting the ambulances where they need them according to their data. If there’s a need for more ambulances they will be available from the rest of the city, though obviously that would increase wait times slightly. by Complex_Lock (Thu 17th Feb 2022 9:55am)

Because it’s between 12-5am, there was previously 3 ambulances and if the data said they can be better utilised elsewhere that seems reasonable? I’m aware that there’s been unprecedented pressure on the nhs and ambulances everywhere due to the pandemic and staff shortages. Long wait times aren’t unique to Glasgow. I’d rather the ambulances are utilised where the data says they should be rather than have them being idle elsewhere in the city - that would actually cut wait times if there closer to where they need to be, no? It isn’t like they’ve made this decision on a whim, in times when there is unprecedented pressure it’s better to have the ambulances where they will be more useful. by Complex_Lock (Thu 17th Feb 2022 10:08am)

Did you take meter reading when you moved in? If not you could raise a disputed read with your energy provider to check that it’s correct. The landlord has a duty to make sure the property is wind and water right and fit for human habitation. The electric, heating and water/ water heating need to be in a reasonable state of repair and proper working order. You could request the water boiler is inspected to see if it has a broken timer and get that fixed. Single glazing would be classed as wind and water tight and you might be in a conversion area where this can’t be changed. If you notify the landlord of the issues with the boiler and they don’t do anything in a reasonable amount of time you can take them to the first-tier tribunal of the housing and property chamber, it’s free just google it and you’ll find it and the stuff you need to apply. by Complex_Lock (Fri 18th Feb 2022 1:51pm)

You could do a load test, basically turn off all appliances and check them one by one against the meter read to see if any are causing a problem.

None of that substantiates what you’re saying. It was a proposal, like when the tories and Labour proposed that GCC should cut teacher numbers to make up for the short fall Labour’s £500m equal pay shambles is costing the council. GCC are forking out £30m a year for Labour’s equal pay, they’ve got a £20m black hole. So if it wasn’t for Labour they would have a £10m surplus., despite cuts. It was odd that Labour circulated a list of libraries that were “permanently closed” (they weren’t) but ignoring their own councils doing the exact same thing. by Complex_Lock (Fri 4th Mar 2022 3:08am)

There’s been multiple times when I’ve waited for an Uber and had multiple drivers pick up and then cancel 5 minutes later and then when you go to rebook it’s surge pricing. Uber should make a feature that if a driver picks up on the fare you agreed, if they cancel you can rebook at the first fare you agreed. Doubt they would do it tho because it would make them less money. I was in Germany recently and you actually prepay the Ubers there, so much better as the driver doesn’t take you all ways to get the fare up and it’s not impacted by drivers cancelling and triggering surge pricing. by Complex_Lock (Tue 8th Mar 2022 12:06pm)

Are people not allowed to boycott and have a negative opinion of a business if they don’t agree with the owner? Just because he has a restaurant doesn’t mean anyone owes him any anything.

Or Labour, who ran one of the most corrupt councils in the U.K. underpaid their staff £500m and fought it for 10 years. Neglected all the buildings they were in charge of so now they are crumbling, not to mention the neglect they caused the city through their terrible policies like signing away all the council houses for free.

And the answer is yes. We have one of the lowest levels of poverty and deprivation in the U.K. Charities have praised the SNP child payment policy that they have recently doubled as well as raising all benefits they handle by 6% meanwhile they have been cut elsewhere in the U.K. A better performing health service than elsewhere in the U.K. with the shortest waitlist (although still far too long). Schemes to help young people like free bus travel and dentistry. Crime is at one of the lowest levels and have halved since the SNP came to power. Not to mention things like free prescriptions and free tuition (that has been tripled and payable via loan in rUK), as well as student loans having the lowest interest rates, the payment threshold has been lowered and interest rate hiked to 9% in rUK.

They gay clubs are open until 4am, like most clubs in the rest of the UK. Mostly likely because there is less disturbance but shows that it’s not a limit, the license board just needs to be happy there won’t be trouble if the club is allowed to open to 4am. 10am - 10pm alcohol sales in shops is pish but done to reduce drink deaths. There are restaurants open later and McDonald’s/ kfc/ etc are open until 4am on the weekends. The rest close because it’s not profitable. Pubs closing at 12 is also pish, but it’s not all pubs you get a few open until 3am like howlin wolf and speakeasy. by Complex_Lock (Sat 9th Jul 2022 2:09am)

I’m not sure, shop sales have been limited like that for years. Minimum unit pricing wasn’t designed to stop alcoholics it was designed to lower consumption and it has by like 8%. by Complex_Lock (Sat 9th Jul 2022 11:17am)

Delmonicas and polo would be good, they’re in the same building so don’t have to wander around looking for places. by Complex_Lock (Sat 23rd Jul 2022 2:38pm)
