Ms Fuchi posted:Would the LibDems really go into a coalition with the Tories? It seems like a weird look to join a coalition with the people you just rebelled against Yes they would. They are liars. They are just as bad as the tories. 139: 139 is a happy number!

This article title made me sigh inwardly: BBC News - Refugees fleeing Syria to UK: 'I've got a mortgage, a house, a car - we're not trouble' It's like they don't understand that gammons will see that headline as 'I've stolen a house and a car from you lot and am living it large on benefits'. Orr less charitably that's precisely why they put that quote into the headline. FFS BBC e: I also like how it celebrates that "more than" only 17 loving thousand syrian refugees settled in the UK. That's, uhh, very impressive, great job settling only such a tiny fraction in the second most populous EU country. Definitely a welcoming place.

It is, but I am frankly worried about Labour's ability to win the needed majority even after the delay. Not cos they're bad but because the UK's just full of loving death cultists and idiot libs.

CGI Stardust posted:Abloy disc detainers like this one are good locks, needs custom-built equipment and high skill to pick, not many people can do it so it's pretty safe. (ed: picking isn't much of a concern for residential locks at the moment anyway). For bikes, dunno, this seems recommended. The problem with those Kryptonite locks isn't the lock, it's that the chain itself lasts about ten seconds against either bolt croppers or a decent grinder. Most bike security (i.e. for anything costing less than a decent car) isn't about stopping thieves outright anyway, it's about making the next bike along with the 20 quid Halfords u-lock that can be opened with a milk carton look more attractive.

Good morning all. The next episode of Podcasting Is Praxis is going to be a bit of a focus on the DWP and the hell that has been the effects of Tory policy the last few years. We’re looking for someone with experience of the move from ESA/JSA or similar to Universal Credit who wishes to talk about their experience. Don’t worry if you’re concerned in any way about your identity, feel free to use a false name. If you’re interested and available tomorrow night around half seven for an hour or two, let me know either here or in the discord.

radmonger posted:I’m not liking this plan because it depends on Boris being unwilling to risk a few days in an open prison as a publicity stunt. For all it will cement the nutter vote, there's a substantial risk that a PM openly breaking the law like this would forfeit far more support than they'd gain. For example: https://twitter.com/kevinhollinrake/status/1170247019946020864 Boris can't afford to lose another chunk of MPs on the cusp of an election, and that's before you consider all the voters and local party staff. For any frothing Brexiteer this wins over from Farage it's likely he'll lose a more traditional Tory who worships the rule of law and won't vote for a PM that just went to prison. It's far safer for Johnson to spend the next few weeks just making all the right noises for the crowd about ignoring the law, then make way for a temporary GNU to actually do the extension.

They seem to have upped their game a bit of late but they still make some silly design choices - e.g. not wrapping their chains, like the one above, which both risks loving up your paint and makes thieves lives a lot easier. Big improvement on their old disc lock which you could bend open with a flat-blade screwdriver though.

Delay election to after 31st October chat: One of the reasons leaked for Johnson trying to get it on 15th October was because the students moving around at the start of term wouldn't have time to have got registered to vote (and I assume to set up postal votes if they want to vote at their home address). A friend with a kid at uni says the student union there have plastered this all over the place. https://voxpoliticalonline.com/2019/09/06/tories-admit-planned-election-timing-was-to-stop-students-voting-voter-registrations-soar/ quote:More than 200,000 people have applied to be registered as UK voters within 72 hours – as a national newspaper claimed Boris Johnson’s government had set the date of its planned election in the hope that students would not be able to vote. https://twitter.com/nadd3rz/status/1169889064037707776 Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 10:17 on Sep 9, 2019 |

Wannabe warriors collect replica fantasy swords, wannabe rogues collect lock picks. There is a puzzle element to it that is quite satisfying, and it isn't an expensive hobby to take up. It's also rewarding seeing people on Youribe break into locks advertised as unbeatable in a matter of seconds. (Yes, I do have a set of picks that fit into an extremely unconvincing fake credit card...)

It's pretty great that the uk saw trump and decided to do their best to one up him. Still failed though since bojo's a career politician and not a reality tv star slash slumlord but a good effort all the same. Bonus points for his MP career sliding into the shitter at mach 2, destroyed the one outstanding aspect of May's right fast.

Mandela's autobiography details a meeting where he gives them a big load of guns for the cause. He was a peculiar man, to say the least. Dropped a plane on me dad's home town, so I'm not sorry he's dead.
