Do the target audience for this stuff not get tired of how trivial it all is? Feel like all my life I've been watching these blowhards have tantrums over nothing

Presumably the purpose here is to give cover to killer cops and negligent bosses?

thanks! just got some tomatillos...

anyone buy vegetable seeds online? Where's good?

Rudi standing at the top of our stairs, looking menacing

We used to be mill dogs

Rudi killed a mouse today and I feel like she unlocked some specialist version of the "we used to be wolves" meme

"oh, we just routinely pay people off when sacking them on grounds they might think about going to tribunal" is just pure national politics never had a proper job in your life bullshit

This line is fucking wild when you know how willing most employers are to either go to tribunal or at least wait right until the eve of the court date to make an offer, often at great cost to themselves (let alone the financial and emotional cost to the employee)

At some point do we reckon the government might stop wasting public money trying to ineffectually charge all and sundry with "terrorism"?

Think there's this wide assumption that most people's reaction to the idea that British bases overseas might get hit by Iran is screeching terror, demands for revenge, rather than "huh, we have a military base in Cyprus. Why?" and I'm not sure that's necessarily the case.

I had to start a list on my notes app of all parents/kids i met to manage this phenomenon

There are people out there who think it's ridiculous to say that killing 100,000 Palestinians and expelling 100,000s more from their land is a genocide, but that describing people coming to your country to work and start a family as genocide is totally reasonable.

What happened to them in Scotland, basically: an avoidable disaster that they all seem to have refused to even think about, because the implications of it - that they got outflanked to their left, just a bit, and that was all it took to wreck them - were so deeply offensive.

I dunno, did anything good come out of the last few times Britain did it?

Should we regret not joining in with Vietnam?

Like, why?

It's like being asked to congratulate a lottery winner on how well they picked the numbers.

Peter Mandelson released from bail conditions Police have decided former minister is not a flight risk, but he remains under investigation

So this corrupt bastard with multiple houses overseas has his passport returned to him and is released from bail, while young actionists are kept imprisoned without bail for years?

At half time Alan Shearer suggested Mo Salah wasn't angry enough to attack crosses

I can only presume Arne Slot forgot to say "pass quickly" before kick off but remembered at half time.

You might think it interesting to speculate as to what complexities of the game enable a football team to "move the ball quickly" or force them to "move it too slowly" but it doesn't seem to be worth talking about.

Are they not scoring? They should move the ball quicker

Have they started scoring? Gonna bet they started moving the ball quicker

If football pundits weren't allowed to offer "move the ball quicker" as analysis, I think they'd just sit there in silence for the entire game

A post by that dickhead Robert Peston reads The final report of the Water Commission includes this calculation: "We estimate that over £85 billion has been extracted from the English water system by shareholders and affiliated parties since privatisation." Given the parlous, creaking, under-invested condition of Britain's water industry, this was egregious pillaging by shareholders that was licensed by successive governments and the regulator. As the report says, company executives and boards, regulators, ministers, all were to blame. It summarises: "this £85 billion represents a direct transfer of value from the public to private owners — a sum extracted while storm overflows proliferated, leakage targets were missed, and river health declined.".

From what I’ve been told by several human briefcases, it’s not economically viable to nationalise the water industry

Imagine the snivelling little wankers in Starmer's office that put this shit together.

Honestly, quite hard to take all their bloviating about geo-political security when all these little shits are so obviously enjoying themselves

Time and again you see judgements ostensibly about class which are actually about age cohort.

You *still* see polls, strategy and discussion of class built around the National Readership Survey categories - a model structured around a collar line that is obsolete and that doesn't properly filter for retirement (let alone home ownership)!

Maybe, but context would have been different at Spurs I reckon.

Incredible how inaccurate Labour's imagined map of class composition has become.

This party was having historically and sociologically informed debates about affluence, deindustrialisation, service work by the late '50s and now they're like "hmmm, what if every voter is a retired miner?"

Was it "sectarianism" when 50% of (sub 5% muslim) Denton and Reddish voted for Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party in 2019? What weird thing is supposed to have happened there in the last 7 years that Reform would have a chance?
