I'm fairly sure accusing someone of being responsible for a pioneering tory government policy is slander. Hopefully she's happier working for labour if nothing else.

Obviously the notion of civil service neutrality is a convenient fiction, but it can cut both ways - just as there's going to be Tory cunts attempting to neutralise good policy under the (insh'Allah) forthcoming socialist government, there are also comrades who've been trying to promote or implement good and sound policy in these last ten years of cunts. My friend is one such, and a particularly successful one at that - although, QED, these small victories need contextualised.

I'm not saying I won't do the job, it's £375 a day. I just hope that people won't die. But I'm pretty sure this guy has not looked at my profile. Also saw Joker tonight, it's pretty decent.

Three weeks remain. Where's the Boris moon when you need it. Anyway, let's jeer at some more tax dodging scum. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/oct/10/pensions-tax-relief-set-to-cost-government-almost-40bn Nothing better than load balancing income across your lifetime so you don't have to pay higher rate tax. Although sadly you can only do this to the tune of £40k a year and a lifetime total of £1.05million (down from 1.25 a few years ago!) HMRC are utter scum and I'm not entirely sold on how they're describing it as 'lost revenue', but ... "According to a review by parliament’s public accounts committee, of the 424 tax reliefs provided, the tax authority does not report a cost for 239." "HMRC’s total forecast of the costs of tax reliefs for 2017-2018 is £416.8bn, which according to its annual report is related to 105 reliefs." The flip side to this of course is that pensions are poo poo, none of us are going to retire, and even if we did well there's no saying that a worldwide crash wouldn't have wiped 40% of the value off your stock bubble 'investment' anyway. More grist to the mill of number.

Bobby Deluxe posted:The thing he did 'wrong' was poorly wording his refutation of the antisemitism accusations. But the press have properly got the knives out for Labour, and anything any MP says is going to be twisted into either a flat denial that the antisemisism exists, or an acknowledgement that the antisemitism exists and therefore everything the press says is true and valid. Also saying nothing or telling the press to gently caress off feeds the 'what do you have to hide' narrative. My instinct is that he poorly worded a basically sound point, and that labour coming down on him legitimised the smear. Had the party backed him up and more generally took a more aggressive line towards the AS allegations (telling people to gently caress off where they're obviously being disingenuous) I think we'd be in a much stronger position.

For ~£400/d they probably expect some knowledge of code, automation, querying databases and whatnot though. From the spec, probably knowledge of infosec and knowing your way around a unix shell will be handy

bessantj posted:I got this in an e-mail from a recruiter Functional testing = make sure buy button works Non-functional testing = make sure a button works when 10 million people try to click on it, button doesn't spurt personal data across the internet randomly In this case they're most likely looking for a performance tester, because capitalism doesn't give a poo poo about externalities like 'security' or 'reliability'. Just that if they manage to trick more people than expected into clicking the buy button, they successfully take money from everyone. £375 is a shite rate for a performance tester, even outside London. Although not too surprising if you're getting emails from a bottom feeder recruiter who's spamming out based on CV keyword matches.

A referendum before an election is indeed stupid, because it means the policies outside of Brexit will be ignored and everyone will turbofuck the idea that all those "radical mussies" are going to flood into Europe and take all 'er jobs or blow us up. As if Trump loving with Turkey isn't some sort of backwards reach around from Donald to Boris. e: in all of the lesser stories that don't seem to be discussed, it's plainly obvious that there's underhanded, corrupt favours occurring behind closed doors/telephone lines.

sebzilla posted:Ta, not worth leaving a permanent gig for though. Just FYI, JobServe is still a good clearing house for techie jobs if you're semi-actively looking. In the last seven days for performance testing you've got...  The usual caveats apply, i.e the nice salary computer touchers can potentially make after they invest ten years in training up doesn't make up for the soul sucking void of interminable bullshit meetings, management consultants, and the intense knowledge that you're working on ad-tech bullshit that will actively make the world worse. And everyone is in a race to offshore/automate all the roles so salary will be 'normalised' to be a crap as everywhere else within the next 10 years or so anyway.

So when are we going to do the Great Goon Poll for accurate data? Ask 10 workplace people, randoms, anyone who you can confidently say you don't know their voting intention - and collate the data. I feel this is the only true way to know what the United Kingdom thinks. Then we can gently caress off YouGov and all other tainted sources.

The problem was more that he was directly contradicting the party line, which was already trying to manage the antisemitism stuff as carefully as it could. He outright said "we've been too apologetic" etc which is both undermining the leadership and the work people had been doing, and throwing more fuel on the fire - which is exactly why it was filmed and put out in public, because it would cause more trouble for Labour However right he was, he has a responsibility not to go around saying whatever he feels like in public when it's gonna cause these kinds of issues. It's not really surprising the leadership didn't completely abandon their approach and swoop in to defend him - if they felt they could pivot they'd have done it already. I don't know about the suspension, but as an MP (and one friendly to Corbyn at that) he definitely hosed up and forced Labour to make a choice

The antisemitism crap is cynical bollocks, it's a continuation of their previous smear campaigns and anyone with a moral core and half a brain rolls their eyes when they see the latest headline saying 'some board of deputies oval office slams corbyn' or some arsehole columnist drops a 'of course labour would know a lot about scapegoating' line in their latest effluence. Stop giving it any legitimacy, just drop the stats factsheet and call them lying little cunts.

After Corbyn did his big upset Blair wrote this thing like 'I don't understand the British people anymore' and it was funny because 100% of the new voting demographics, that had honestly a very minor voting impact, were demographics New Labour created themselves, by cultivating inequality they created their own bizarre monsters. You're dead right it's the same with the Lib Dems, they are making these lovely choices based on the current circumstances and not thinking about the possible negative knock-on effects. It's just like the coalition; the most pro-EU party did some despicable loving austerity, made everyone hate the status quo and them in particular, and then because the superstructure is anti-left that energy had to go somewhere so it went to brexit and the Lib Dems got owned.
