IceAgeComing posted:Tower Hamlets update: turns out that Mr Rahmann more than likely committed proper serious electoral fraud including changing Labour votes to votes for him and including other candidates votes in his bundles to make sure that they added up to the right number. Its a bit discouraging that something that blatant can happen in an election in the United Kingdom... Perhaps now people understand what I was talking about after the independence referendum, when I said that to rig a ballot result you would need election staff to be complicit from top to bottom. That's exactly what Lutfur Rahman has been doing in Tower Hamlets. On the other hand, I don't think any of the Bengali community would be happy if the EDL shipped Rahman to a camp on the Isle of Man because they'd all be shipped off with him whether they thought he'd done anything wrong or not.

Oh yeah, I watched it a while ago, it's called 'the hunt for Britain's paedophiles' and it's on YouTube.. It's pretty drat harrowing watching, and even downright nauseating in places.

Cuts will make things worse but it isn't just cuts that prevented them from catching paedophiles, institutional indifference was probably the biggest cause.

Well, of course I wouldn't place that kind of direct blame. The point I was trying to make (somewhat inelegantly) is that budget cuts force police units (or anyone else) to make priority choices in manpower and resources that may leave other areas uncovered - more child abuse investigations leads to less time for violent crimes/spousal abuse etc.

Coram's Fields round the back of Great Ormand Street Hospital has had that policy since at least the 1970s, they have (or at least had, I've not been there since the mid-1980s when my dad used to take me there in a wheelchair) a big sign saying that all adults must be accompanied by a child. I don't think it's an entirely bad thing either.

Generally the complaint is they are forced to take jobs literally without pay, with pay so low that benefits are still required to live, without guaranteed hours or in particularly exploitative work and mlm scams.

Aren't people in this thread usually complaining about people being forced to take jobs offered to them or lose their benefits? Jobless people tend to need jobs now, not in two years time. If you're rich enough to live off savings for that long you're probably not looking for minimum wage factory work either. If you're on benefits your advisor would be pushing you to get a job that gets you off benefits right now, not in two years time. It isn't an indictment of welfare nor of British people's sandwich making at all and it therefore isn't a reasonable question to ask. E: if you're in work you won't apply for a future job unless it offers a raise and, given the prominent mention of how attractive the minimum wage is to Hungarians, it seems likely they weren't offering competitive wages either.

it's not making a sandwich, it's making thousands of sandwiches with whatever procedure that gives supermarket sandwiches their conspicuous regularity, atop of passing the non-negotiable lifestyle tests that accompany food preparation jobs. Piercings, illicit drug use tests, showing up with iron regularity, etc. such semi-skilled people in Britain are already in full employment in the UK. getting such workers from Hungrary is more a sign of how dysfunctional Hungrary is than how indolent Britain is.

there was once upon a time when such factories would be staffed with lots of people who were pretty bright but, due to the rigidities of class and birth, were never given the opportunity to get a degree well if you fix that, then unsurprisingly you are going to drain the cheap labour pool of workers with surprising sandwich-making potential and the social skills to police their peers into also making sandwiches. Those skilled people are now all paper-pushers pushing paper with values substantially more than £3.00 (with a coke and a mars bar).
