big scary monsters posted:I was surprised to find out when I was in Norway last year that neither they nor any of the other Nordic countries have a national minimum wage. Neither do Switzerland or Austria. Instead they all have strong trade union movements and rely on collective bargaining to set wages across industries. I don't know enough about those countries to say whether that is a more effective approach, but certainly when I think inequality and poverty level wages I don't think of Sweden. In Switzerland it's a problem because the union-arranged wages only apply to Swiss residents and the country is small enough that there's a massive commuter workforce that lives in France or Italy and works in Switzerland. The Swiss right wing feeds of the idea of commuters "stealing" people's jobs, while resisting anything that might force employers to be less scummy in their hiring practices, while the Swiss Socialists have been screaming for years about either extending the union membership to anyone who works in Switzerland or implementing a federal minimum wage.

I know someone who might benefit from watching this, but on the other hand they hate the Irish and wish they'd all bomb themselves so it might not have the intended effect.

Isn't it funny how when centrist parties fail its because of the left somehow but when they succeed its because they're such great centrists.

JFairfax posted:could be your posture, you might have an anterior pelvic tilt which is common amongst people who sit all day and this could be stretching out your hammies My issue is that basically whenever I do squats/deadlift at the gym I can't do squats/deadlift at the gym for 2-3 weeks because of hamstring tightness. No amount of warming up, hot baths, deep heat or stretching seems to fix it. This also all started after I'd been going to the gym for about a year, and just after I went from being a pizza guy to working in an office. Personally I blame Corbyn.

Office work is a major health hazard. I believe the last estimate was you need to do one hour of exercise a day to make up for the daily damage an office job does to your health

Dictionary to modern politics: extreme left-wing: some milquetoast soc-dem policies, continually concedes to conservatives but next time for sure... left-wing: they voted for minimum income once... but also to cut corporate taxes centre-left: actually right-wing, with some socially liberal policies thrown in to garner progressive votes, but they will give these up at the drop of a hat to gain right wing votes if even remotely feasible centrist: lol centre-right: actually right wing right-wing: would put the poor in concentration camps if they could pull it off far-right: literal baby-murdering fascist monsters

Getting a good ergonomic chair made a world of difference for me in terms of flexibility and general limberness after spending 8 hours+ per day sitting in front of a pair of screens.

I mean, if despite Corbyn's unpopularity and general party malaise Labour manage to start gaining in the polls it would be pretty impressive. Of course this will probably trigger a fuckbarrelling from our ever-so-delightful press. Tomorrow's headlines: "Corbyn fucks animals!*" *according to crazy man we found in a ditch

Taking the poll at face value, it would indicate that the general public really give no shits about how incompetent the tories are. Hell, even the latest £70k fine would probably not negatively affect how people would vote. This just looks to me that UKIP is now being seen as pointless as brexit is happening, so the shift is from them back to tory voting.

That does seem somewhat newsworthy. They managed 12% in 2015, after all. It's kind of impressive how fast the Tories have been absorbing them.

I think the most worrying thing about that poll is that UKIP's collapse doesn't seem to be benefiting Labour all that much. People seem to have gone Labour > UKIP > Tories.
