I was going to make a comment about crisps, but it upsets people so I won't bother posting.

Might un-bookmark.

But hey, at least the purges will have begun.

Mr and Mrs Duck go and stay in a nice hotel.

One night they call room service for some condoms as things are heating up.

The guy arrives and says "do you want me to put it on your bill"

Mr Duck says "what kind of pervert do you think I am?!

Does anybody not just... entirely ignore figures in relation to the government?

Because literally every figure the government uses for everything is simply "infinitely more money than I will ever see" and also entirely unrelated to all the other figures.

Figures are meaningless, it's all just big number, everything costs big number, big number good or bad depending on who is speaking at the moment, care about big number, big number important to you, person who has no context for big number, big number spent on lots of things but no spending big number on this thing, or we run out of big number.

Agreed. It'd be useful if there was a way to compare the amount spent to the amount actually needed for a given level of service. I mean, that's a pretty wooly metric, but still, some kind of actual context for the data would be good, you know? On average, how much does this surgery cost, how many are needed per year, how much is budgeted for, that kind of thing. Or just, we've worked out that people on average have health problems costing £x per year, and we're funding the NHS at £y per person per year.

Report it to a mod or something and stop posting about posters, which is 10000% more loving annoying. Some of us need a derail to prevent from having to just read the hellscape we are about to get into in less than 3 loving weeks.

To be honest even that seems suspect, because, like, the entire economy of the UK is a maddeningly complicated thing, the idea that anyone who doesn't make it their full time job can actually understand it seems farcical.

More important is whether we should try to make things work. I don't give a poo poo how much it costs, people should have homes and health and a loving future. The cost, simply, isn't my problem, because I don't have any of the money, once we run out of rich assholes to squeeze I might start worrying about the costs.

That's fine when it's one or two but if it's dozens of them then skipping becomes a right chore

Like food chat is usually fine when it's recipes and where to buy stuff and poo poo, but if it's just "what's the best flavor of monster munch" again and again then it's white noise posting of the highest order

Chocolate is better than crisps. Although the rum and cocoa crisps that tesco did for a while were a perversion that mixed the worst of all three worlds and somehow became good as a result.

Also the only way British politics could get dumber would be if it started being narrates by Steven Pinker.
