TACD posted:lol Jesus Christ I swear every day I see a new headline breathlessly exclaiming that *this* vote has made No Deal absolutely, positively impossible for real this time. Who gets arrested when the law gets broken by No Deal happening anyway because it’s not up to us? Well, it makes May request an extension, so if she fails to get one, her.

I’ve noticed that in most of these votes, the deputy speakers haven’t been voting. I had thought that the deputy speakers were permitted to carry on normal political activities when not filling the speaker’s role, what’s up with that?

Nah like the speaker they have to remain impartial on anything other than issues that specifically relate to their constituency. If a deputy had to sub in on a subject where they had recently taken a clear side it would be difficult for them to exercise their authority.

Oman was pretty chill when I worked there. Beautiful countryside too. Happened to be doing fieldwork next to a really nice dude who had played for the Omani police force at the Royal Tattoo and spoke decent English. He always brought us snacks. Didn't interact with or indeed see a woman until the relief team showed up after three weeks, mind.

Tends to be rural people, which swings heavily towards Leave. But also tends to swing wealthier or at least A Level educated, because Tories keep squashing any attempt to make firearms cheaper to own, but also any attempt to make them more expensive to own, so it's been stuck in a middle ground. But also tends towards middle aged, not the very old or the young. Smeef posted:What would they shoot? Pesky Splinter posted:Every single one of them looks like a bad caricature of themselves

This graun writer's weird quote:No question, the customs union certainly makes it easier for multinational companies to ship parts and semi-finished goods backwards and forwards across the Channel. But the real test of the worth of the current system is whether it has done anything to improve Britain’s trade performance. I don't get this, is he being intentionally disingenuous? What really matters is the UK's trade performance, not its dependence on food imports or upholding EU food standards? He even mentions US hormone beef but doesn't engage with the issue at all

Guavanaut posted:The UK is mostly a tertiary/quaternary sector economy, so short of reindustrializing, which we can't do overnight, CU puts us at a disadvantage compared to SM. Sure, but a lot of things you import are needed for eating. Saying the worth of the customs union is only about trade performance is pretty weird imo

Interesting that America has a so-called ‘coastal elite’ where all the jobs are, and the UK has Skegness. In conclusion, capitalism is a system of contrasts.

Regarding job hunting - I was unemployed for ages, overqualified or lacking some specific experience meaning I couldn't apply for things I was more suited to. I ended up just fabricating a CV with no qualifications past high school so I could get short term contracts in call centres or factories. If you have issues with mental health I've found night work to impact that massively, basically having Seasonal Affective Disorder all year round for myself, but some people like it. Actually working in the area you want to work in, doing any related temp work is a good start, as is 'work experience' - sending your CV and a cover letter to the manager of the department you want to work in (rather than HR) and offering a few days a week is good though not entirely feasible for everyone. Public sector tend to pay travel expenses at least, and though I disagree with the principle of unpaid labour, it was worth doing that than continuously being unemployed with no experience. The actual experience isn't so much doing the job as it is showing you can fit in with company culture and office bozos. I've had 33 jobs this decade, and if you've just done any part-time or fixed-term contracts, your CV will look like poo poo. I just conflate all the actual experiences into 4 jobs, lie about the length of time I did them except the most recent one. If you have a LinkedIn, either keep it up to date or don't bother with it. Use STAR technique on answering application and interview questions. Check eventbrite for free corporate events and sector related seminars and do some networking (ugh). I also found when I was unemployed, reading this thread every day made me a bit depressed. It can be worth taking a break and engage with stuff you have an impact on, like volunteering or just going for a walk, rather than keep up to date with how hosed the country is. Anyway, good luck x

No kidding. I've had five jobs this decade but they're all with the same organisation and two of them I just sort of started doing and then got my job title changed rather than actually applying for anything.

I'm on my fifth this decade, but this one also represents the third longest I've ever been in continuous unemployment
