Yeah :filez: sounds like the best plan. I just got a last minute "yeah watch this today" yesterday and was a little "uh..." to find out that the billionaire containment center guy was the only one offering it immediately.

e: 133 years ago Ulster Protestant Unionists begin to lobby against the Irish Home Rule Bill, which is fortunately fixed very quickly.

somehow that last av was even worse than your posting
I've just been out with some people, I don't so much so was interesting. Around age 30 i guess in general. No one mentioned politics or anything. House prices, festivals, bonking, babies, cars... Mainly lib dem voters I would wager. I dunno maybe brexit isnt that important.

Just in case you were thinking this couldn't get any worse for the Lib Dems:

They clearly didn't actually speak to Clarke, at least past the point of "are you willing to be PM so we can block Corbyn?" Maybe they should have asked him what he would actually do as caretaker PM first.

(Les éditions des amitiés franco-québécoises)

Hello, dear
I'm not happy with Ken Clarke being caretaker PM because he is a rabid capitalist, a Tory MP and (almost goes without saying) rumoured nonce.

And Harriet Harmon is a sleazebag of just the same loving magnitude.

gently caress these people.

I moved back into my flat in Mayfair yesterday after time living around the US Midwest. Apparently there are a lot of Lib Dem voters and centrists in the area? I went with some friends to the ice cream shop they have in Harrods and all everyone seemed to be talking about was how much they want Ken Clarke to be PM.

Look if Ken Clarke wants to sell the NHS to Trump, take us out of the EU by blocking the Channel with the Royal Navy, and nonce on a level that would make Epstein say "Steady on", that's all fine because he's not Jeremy Corbyn.

Now I have read one (1) book and a few versions of the wikipedia page on the subject, so am far from informed. But the conclusion the book comes to, and an option that a lot of Israeli people support is falling back to the boundaries agreed before the 1948 war, since the majority of that land was legally purchased.
Supporting any border except the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine one is a contravention of the most fundamental building block of capitalism - the right to property. To support any other border is to cheer for socialists in their quest to extinguish freedom.

This is a great strategy. New scandal? Unpopular policy? Just go back and Edit The Speech again. "People of Britain," says 2019 Legend Boris, who everyone loved and agreed with, "I promise to - in - sert - diseased - rats - inside - the nation's - under - wear - for the security of - the nation. - If anyone - has - objections to -this great - rat - scheme - now's the time - [harumph noises] - rule britannia - sausages."

gently caress I kind of skimmed past that and thought it meant that the version of the speech sent to the press in advance had words that were omitted when he actually spoke, but OF COURSE it's much worse than that lmbo

Same but home guard. They really need to wink more with this stuff. The questionnaire is made by bureaucrats on the basis of "this might be sorta neat" But they are filled in and filed with the idea that people are going to lie and present their "best side" So a person that is 100% honest runs the risk of failing for being honest about stuff that the system expects everyone else to lie about.

For example they ask if I have any criminal convictions. I got a speeding ticket in 2008 which is a criminal conviction but it has long since been cleared from my criminal record. They expect me to lie about that but if I told the truth then it would trigger the "lack of respect for laws in society" alarm and I would probably fail because people aren't supposed to be truthful.

A friend passed everything and then went to the psych exam. He was a good and honest person with no criminal record or any violent/disobedient history but he told the shrink everything about his childhood of growing up in a poor broken family with an alcoholic father. It was a tale of trial over adversity but he actually failed the psych exam (something that should be impossible) with his very detailed story about his unstable and broken childhood.

That's great, wonderful, marvelous. If he gets asked he'll just deny it and smile (he won't get asked). Thinking about it, didn't the Conservative Party memory-hole their 2015 promises back in the runup to the 2017 election too?

Also from the Mirror, the Queen's mad about the quality of governance in this country, for some reason. Reports say she's "proper steaming", "she keeps doing lines and trying to start a business"

I'm not sure if this is a bad troll attempt but in case it's not, you're in Harrod's, and you live in Mayfair, what the gently caress were you expecting? It's an incredibly wealthy area, and Harrods is like, peak Tory-remainer-type in its demographics. Of course they're melty centrist NUGgets.

Jesus loving christ if they have to pay anyway why do the council care? Even if they don't, why do the council care. Just let people gently caress. or bring all their worldly belongings and sleep in the dry.

Isn't this question usually about unspent convictions in which case a spent speeding ticket is not relevant?

Nope they check unspent convictions themselves. This was about all convictions ever.

I actually did my interview twice a year apart with two separate people. And the first one lost all the papers so I had to do a new one. But at the first one I was honest about my speeding ticket and he asked about the details. If I was just fined or also had my license suspended and noted down the answers.

Second interview I just left all that out and said no convictions.
