I wonder if May realizes that once her days as PM are over she won't have a ring of police around her wherever she goes in public anymore. Guess there will be a lot of indoor living going on.

Do you expect the Queen to drop F-bombs on Tory wankers? This was before he was elected president and the presidency has sadly neutered him. But better him, a man who legit believes in Irish Arts and Culture and set up our Irish language TV station when he was a minister (which has loving amazing documentaries), than an alleged Fianna Fail bagman who ran as an independent.

Derek Jacobi as John McDonnell am I right or am I right? Edit: I reckon Daniel Day-Lewis, while a bit on the young side, would be interesting as our Jezza. And Hugh Grant as Cameron of course. Acaila fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Jun 18, 2017 |

Fans posted:I think he's a good example of how even Underdogs can be cunts. 'Underdog' implies a relative lack of power. What made Trump a surprise was that people thought his considerable handed-down power was not of the sort to translate properly to the new job he was running for. Turns out they were mistaken. Now, Assange, that's a cunty underdog.

Task force ordered to take over Grenfell Tower relief work from bungling local council posted:
My eyes are watering right now and this is going to sound like a ramble. But a system could have already been in place if there were sustained funding for it and government support. The loss of life is horrifying, but the callousness of the council and the disintrest of people in power to help the survivors is agonizing. And this lack fo forsight will hurt more and more people in the future because planning ahead costs money and effort. Like, instead, of what happened, this could have happened. The fire breaks out at 1 am. BRC is notified and has several shelters activated by 8 am. A partner charity group coordinates food prep - donated food would be accepted too. Another group coordinates financial and material donations. And another group handles temporary housing and care for pets. And the groups are supporting the relief effort with know-how and the communities providing volunteers and material support. Mental health professionals are there on the scene and in the shelters and appointments get set up to make sure the survirors get mental health followup. Ad some of the groups are local government agencies or they're nonprofits or they're the feds but not matter who it is people are ready to do their part. And by this point the tragedy is major enough for the feds to step in and make sure that everyone has the resources they need to complete their missions. And the first day hasn't even ended yet. By midnight, the BRC could release a shelter count saying 'X number of people are staying in the shelter overnight". Meanwhile, the partner agencies can say things like "our church cooked enough food to feed this many people and the food went to the victims and firefighters and to volunteers. We've been asked to cook so much more". And another group can say "this many goods were donated and this much money was donated and here's our preexisting plan for we're going to staying accountable for the donations". Before day 4 nonprofits and government agencies would have already meet survivors and those impacted by the disaster at a designated locations. This way the people impacted by the disaster could go to one place and get the ball rolling for services immediately from a variety of services. The low numbers of people asking for help on day 1 would worry everyone but there are still survivors and they still need help so the plans shift from helping hundreds of people to helping dozens. And then there wind up being problems like "they said I couldn't take my dog into the feeding area" or "a group of volunteers knicked donations while nobody was looking" or "BRC owes us because they damaged a wall when it ran the shelter" or "our girl scout troop baked brownies for the victims but we were told to give them to the firefighters instead" and "someone damaged the rental car, which one of us pays". They leave bad tastes in peoples mouths' but at the end of the day the victims get immediate support. This isn't a solved problem like "how do we keep a building from burning down". But prepping ahead of time isn't some sort of theoretical exercise because other governments already loving do this. A coordinated response for a disaster can still be crap, but at least there's a response.

we don't want a Corbyn movie because knowing Hollywood and who funds those things it would paint him as Terrorists' Best Friend who has now led a coalition of unruly left wing fascists to victory and now sits uneasily on a a throne for which he is woefully unprepared. maybe something indie with Simon Pegg as the Absolute Boy and Nick Frost as Dinner Egg

It's not really an underdog story if they do though?  Like you need the 'best friends with terrorists' bit to make the context of Manchester and the Bridge attack actually helping him seem even odder.
