True, but the longer it staggers on the more actual Tories will get to almost actually attempt to do things, so there's a careful balance to strike here.

Tsaedje posted:Police and Crime Commissioner is a pretty good addition (though the position itself is a joke) I've never really thought about it but a "Police and Crime Commissioner" sounds like the kind of role that would turn up in a Discworld book when a drive for efficiency forces the City Watch and Thieves' Guild to merge.

Apologies for linking to The Sun but an interesting article on the Tories cutting one of their major manifesto pledges at the urging of the cabinet because the manifesto was too unpopular. The policy? No, not fox hunting, capping energy prices, one of the few decent proposals they had! The best bit is this quote:The PM is instead preparing to outline a big investment in smart meters to deliver greater competition and bring bills down. The fetishisation of the free market is so loving dumb. Look, I'm sorry, I don't want to spend an hour every month on price comparison websites. I have better things I'd rather do after work. Also the idea that the energy market is a free market in any way just beggars belief, it's much like the railways.

Otoh I'm not sure I want to see the bastard abomination of an act that they can. e: ^^^ Are they confusing themselves with the Liberals? Tories don't have 'free market roots'.

Plus, while smart meters do mean customers will pay for exactly what they use, that doesn't help if the energy companies can just keep their prices artificially high.

After the right-wing rags already had to U-turn to support this policy after ridiculing Miliband for it, now they have to say that dropping it is a good thing. Surely this must be pissing them off.

Ah yes, the famous free market industries, banking and energy production. Maybe me and a couple of mates can have a whip-round and start a bank, or maybe an oil refinery. It's competition such as ours that will keep HSBC and Exxon sharp!

Columnists are all a complete waste of space and the sooner declining print circulation stops people from thinking that their opinions on subjects they know nothing about are "right" because they get paid to have them, the better.

jabby posted:Abbott has revealed that the illness that caused her break from campaigning was Type 2 Diabetes, because her blood sugars were 'out of control'. If she's recently diagnosed it may well have just come at a bad time and she's just getting to grips with everything. Could well be fine once she's settled into it. However that said she has historically been less than stellar at PR stuff so I still wouldn't be opposed to her being removed from the limelight on purely tactical grounds. Funnily enough both of my parents (dull centrists the both of them) have told me they have become fond of Corbyn but still find Abbot really offputting.

Aren't the smart meters being rolled out in a completely typical UK way, where each retail supplier wants to install their own rather than the metering being done by each distribution network operator and then billing information passed to the retail provider?

Edit: I forget the details but my mother and her partner also got appropriate "you're the cunts who hosed it all up you centrist shits" allocations. Right SR and some kind of menshevik maybe?

Thanks Ants posted:Aren't the smart meters being rolled out in a completely typical UK way, where each retail supplier wants to install their own rather than the metering being done by each distribution network operator and then billing information passed to the retail provider? *generalises wildly* right now it's a system where, say you're with British Gas, you can get a smart meter display that talks to the electric and gas meters to get their readings, and then it passes this on to a network device that sends the data over a sort of mobile phone connection to your supplier If you switch supplier, they may or may not be able to talk to your network device. If they can't, your smart meter doesn't work at all - not even for getting readings to send them yourself. The display can't even find the meters in your home network, the whole thing hinges on your energy supplier remotely allowing it to happen. It's bad The idea is to roll out a universal system where all the smart meters just communicate with a central system, and energy suppliers can get your data from there, so everything just works. Capita is in charge and that private sector efficiency is working out as excellent as usual
