That's not what happened in the scenario above, is it?

Asking 'why aren't koalas considered bears?' isn't clearly absurd.

If they'd said the punchline and then the other person said well actually they're marcupials, then fair enough. That just isn't what happened here though.

What's your alternative?

I wouldn't be surprised if he's also a Russia sympathiser and is in someway benefiting from spreading discontent in the west.

Or in a similar vein, just gets paid to do shit.

Yeah I agree with you that it should be put right. I'm just not sure if it can be at this moment in time.

It just seems rich of the article author to write that Sunak would say it's wrong, do nothing about it whilst in power, but that's okay because he says it's wrong, whilst labour are somehow worse for also not doing any about it? I had trouble wording that sentence but I hope you get the jist.

Feels like no ruling government would resolve this with the countries current finances, but that the current opposition and the writer of this article just are enjoying stirring the pot.

Now, however, recently appointed Labour Ministers including Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood have decided to save money by not reimbursing the likes of Mr O’Brien for “bed and board” payments deducted from their compensation years ago.

The Tories were the party in power when the bed and board payment was originally applied for this person, and now they're blaming labour? Standard tory misdirection tactics then. Maybe one day they'll buy a mirror and work out what self reflection is, but I doubt it.

Similar to another comment here, The ex-prisoner has asked the now government to reimburse them, which they've declined. Yeah that sucks but the country can't afford to fix all the shitty decisions that have been made whilst the last government was in power.

Less likely to leave or it made no difference, I guess.

It could also be that with the previous government only 10% were considering leaving.

Whilst I agree 'left-centre' by USA standards is going to be different from other places in the world. I have to concede that this community is created for a US audience in that no internal US news is allowed.

If I'm right about the above, that would mean it make sense for this bot to be basing it's data on how a US person would see it.

Well that was strangely coherent. Still more words than necessary mind.

I just had a quick look. What territory did they lose in 2004?
