This is the best primer on how Article 50 works and what might happen, whether we can reverse it, whether May might really walk away, how much hardball the EU might play, and so on, and y'all should read it because at least it will help to explain the roach-infested wasteland that will be this country by 2020 http://www.politics.co.uk/blogs/2017/02/15/everything-you-need-to-know-about-article-50-in-five-minutes For eg: quote:Yeah, I get the point. The talks collapsing would be bad. But wouldn't we at least be able to fall back onto the WTO?

Tbh I quite like the idea of network rail being a paramilitary maintenance organization. Driving around in pickups closing rail lines for unilateral engineering work, all in the hope of one day, eventually, getting the trains running on time.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-38971675 TL;DR: steel workers accept cut in pensions to keep jobs. This is how it starts folks, I've seen this. I've seen this loving same thing before. This is the loving beginning, trust me. Next up: labor "flexibilization" (i.e. "I can fire you whenever the gently caress I want, no severance"). It will come, and would you believe there's more steps? It's a train of misery and pain.

Pochoclo posted:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-38971675 That already happened under the coalition for the first two years of employment, unless it's specifically stated in your contract otherwise (and even then things like disciplinary provisions etc. don't count, it has to be this specific magic phrase - so exactly like right-to-work in the US for the first two years). Given that short contracts are becoming increasingly common this is more worrying than it might seem. Nobody really cares. Of course there were other changes even worse for workers, like the work tribunal fee being introduced. But it reduced spurious charges against employers! (which have been exceedingly rare) Clearly the 80% drop in cases is exactly what this country needs. Not to mention zero-hour contracts and workfare, another wonderful invention. It would probably be quite hard to push employment rights even further, at least compared to how things were pre-2010. Can't actually see them going for full American-style right to work, particularly now that they have more working class voters under May than they did under Cameron. Not even most of the US is willing to put up with that. At a guess they might go against union rights instead, those still exist to some extent.

sure. I vote that the hydroelectric dams be built over your town, whilst the electricity powers the industry in mine. (remember capel celyn!) after decades of tumult, britain finds nominally independent statutory regulators to be a necessity for civil-social peace. solve that first, then propose nationalisation again.

So that wee boy that died at Topshop, details are slowly being released and it looks like it had something to do with a display table not being bolted down. It's tragic and awful that a child died in an utterly preventable way. I wonder if this will cause people to think twice before saying health and safety has gone mad then I remember the tragic Truth
