even FT and BBC are talking about some kind of business price cap. if it was anyone else in the leadership position i think something would have happened by now, if the opposition was making hay it might have happened by now. johnson doesn't give a poo poo and won't do truss's job for her and cba generally

Frosted Flake posted:You guys would know better than me: Is “households will have to endure X for the sake of foreign policy objective Y” going to work? Top-rated comment on this on the Daily Mail website is: A Daily Mail reader posted:Why should the British taxpayer have to pay! if you really think they support this war then do a poll. The majority would prefer to have illegals stopped and the cost of living tackled. We don't care about this war. Not our problem. So yeah, it's going to be a bit of a tricky one to sell: Tory voters who are getting hit in their pockets aren't exactly known for their forbearance and generosity of spirit lol.

when your country goes to war, usually there is the kind of broad financial support, big spending increases of some kind including industrial nationalization that makes these price shocks tolerable. we are both at war and not at war existing in a superposition of the two wherever it aligns with our policy goals.

gmb is generally considered the most radical of the primary ones (unison, unite and gmb), while unison is by far the most funded and most accessible if you want to become a steward because of that. i don't know anything about aiegis or whatever but usually it's good advice to pick whatever best serves your interests, so generally professions that have specialized unions are best served there. if you aren't recognized by your employer you have functionally no actual rights which is why you can force recognition in certain circumstances. iww generally will offer support to unionize anyone but the wobblies are kind of for no hopers in a lot of situations.

Sewage in sea: French appeal to EU over UK discharges of wasteBBC posted:The UK is threatening health and marine life on the French coast by allowing raw sewage to be dumped in the Channel and North Sea, say three Euro MPs. Those drat Euro filth, don't know what's good for them. Should be thanking us for the free fertiliser action really. e: https://twitter.com/JimMFelton/status/1562420611283947524 40% raw sewage concentration never hurt nobody (I live in Cambridge and that place is like 500m away from a popular swimming spot, not to mention all the punt boats full of tourists lol).
