  • Why are British people happy to have a privileged royal family while millions live in poverty ?

    So they are perfectly happy to let undeserving individuals live in palaces, have servants, have lots of money, hardly work, travel the world and have the best healthcare available to them. Meanwhile millions in the UK live below the poverty line, get a poor education and families struggling to put food on the table. So please explain how is that even remotely fair???

  • Why do people hate me for not liking football ?

    I just like rugby more and just don't understand why football/soccer fans get all narky at me about it, just because its the worlds game doesn't mean EVERYONE has to like it. I respect football and why people like it but i don't verbally bash people for it.

  • If you are deported from another country who pays for the plane ticket home ?

    Say you lived in Germany you do something illegal over there and once you have done your sentence you are deported back to say the US. They talk about people being deported from the US, but about Americans who are deported from other countries back to US soil. Does the US state department pay for your flight home, do you pay yourself or is it a free ticket home? Also are those deportees returning to America put on regular commercial flights? I’ve heard that they arrive back in unmarked planes

  • Why does the UK still have a class system ?

    Whereas the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand don't. Although its not downtown abbey, but there seems to be huge extremes between the poor and the wealthy including the royal family. Also the cycle of poverty throughout the UK was just an eyesore

  • How do soldiers take out enemy snipers ?

    Especially for US troops in Afghanistan being ambushed by a sniper attack and you don’t know where the shot are coming from? Secondly what do you do if there’s a second or third sniper and they are spread out? Once you find sufficient cover what is your next move if the sniper is out of range for your rifle and you haven’t got a sniper in your squad?

  • Are you fed up with covid pandemic lockdown?

    Been bored stiff for almost a year and cannot practically do anything. Here in Scotland you can only meet one person outside your own household (outside in the cold and wind two metres apart social distance). Everything you can think of is closed and the government expects you to stay at home and do nothing for days, weeks, months on end, work from home if you can. Many of family members have lost jobs in the hospitality sector because of Nicola Sturgeon keeping us locked down and Boris Johnson failing to provide funds.

  • why are wages so low in the UK compared to countries like Australia ?

    I'm from Australia and stuck in the UK due to covid 19 staying with aunt until the pandemic is somewhat over. Anyway working at ASDA doing the exact same job i was doing in Australia at a supermarket. However the wages are terrible from an australian stand point, in order to earn the amount i get back home i have to work much longer hours just to get close to what i was getting. You don't get penalty rates here (more per hour if you are contracted to weekends, or forced to work public holidays) you just get normal rate which is unfair. As far as im aware it depends on your contract but in Australia its the law to make it fair for all but no such thing here.

    Why is this?

  • Why are call of duty players so stupid ?

    I lose majority of my matches because of teammates never bother going for the objectives, they keep dying easily, never watch my back or just stand there. I try to communicate with them but they never listen to me and just repeating walking into obvious traps or enemy kill streaks. I’m not expecting them to take the game seriously      but they should at least try to pay attention.

  • Why is Scotland in such a strict lockdown ?

    Yet we have far less covid cases and deaths than England plus about 500,000 have had a vaccine. So this severe lockdown makes no sense. Just seems like Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP want to keep us under house arrest for another month

  • How popular is Nicola Sturgeon in Scotland ?

    Every Scot I know hates her but her approval rating is quite high. I’d prefer her any time of Boris Johnson but she seems like an arrogant whiny woman who is hell bent on independence like it’s going to solve the covid crisis and all of Scotland’s problems with brexit

  • Why are so many banks closing ?

    So what happens if you had your card lost or stolen? How do you withdraw cash if so many bank branches are closed permanently? The other week I dropped my wallet and couldn’t find it (my fault) but froze my account so no one accesses it but i needed money for the next week but my new card won’t arrive for another 5-7 working days. But all the branches are shut for good. 

    How am supposed to access my money? 

    My phone doesn’t print money.

  • Why is the British government so incompetent ?

    The way it’s handled the covid 19 is beyond shocking. They should have put brexit on hold at the beginning of last year and concentrated on preventing the spread of the virus at the start and shut the airports right when Spain and Italy did.

  • Why don’t people obey police commands ?

    Drop the weapon, show your hands and get on the ground. Pretty basic commands, why do idiots who’ve just committed a violent crime just stand there disobeying police commands and until they get shot them selves.
