Rarity posted:Private business claim that Labour's plan to buy out private business is bad My personal belief is that every company* in the UK, outside of the gov ofc, should be 49% -51%** worker owned, through a representative trust. You 'buy' a share in the trust after 1 year service, you 'sell' the share when you leave. Naturally there would have to be compensation for current share holders but that would be conditional on it being reinvested in the company through the representative trust, not taken as a dividend. Foreign or multinational companies would have to incorporate their holdings in the UK to be a UK ltd. Foreign profits from overseas holdings of UK companies would have to be exempt unfortunately. *Above a certain size and age. **Depending on the structure. Would love to hear the CBI's take on that one. In 1297 Edward I confirmed the Magna Carta thus putting on the path to the shower of poo poo we have now. e: Dyslexia is a hell of thing fs Collateral fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Oct 14, 2019 |

If you don't like crisp chat then just stop, drop and scroll past crisp posts or post about something else instead  I mean I'm doing the whole dilapidated streets of britain thing today instead but snackchat was going since before this thread was ever available through dnd and deserves to stay Southend was even more loving miserable than normal today, but I did get my driving licence photocard sorted AND get a full refund on some counterfeit ukulele strings, so go me I guess

Crisp posts are poo poo but steady on. sure they're not nearly on the same scale but it's basically saying "no we can't change this thing to be better, either deal with it exactly how it is or don't deal with it at all" which is a terrible argument whether it's a country or a forum

Also a thread is something you can dip in and out of if the current discussion doesn't interest you.

I see crisp chat as a necessary breathing space between the on topic discussions which by their nature can get very depressing, so um... Pickled Onion. e: Also there's nothing stopping you from bringing something to the table you think might not have been picked up on yet in the thread and want to talk about it, but you'll have to bring nibbles of the deep fried / baked thin sliced potato variety.

They do these paprika sticks at Budgens which just own every other crisp in existence. Also ordinary salt and vinegar crisps suck but the pringles were great back in the early 00s when they used to burn the inside of your lips.

Are we saying Pringles aren't crisps here? I feel like there must be a whole load of opinions on the best flavours here because there are a lot. Personally I like the pink ones.

I don't really engage in snackchat that much (mostly because I don't really eat crisps) but, like, I don't get being bothered by it.

OwlFancier posted: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. At the moment it's just a sea of numbers, and yes, it's basically pointless for anyone with other things to do to try and keep track of it - it requires specialists. Obviously the above isn't a magic bullet but it'd be a small improvement over what's currently there, and at least people would be able to see what's happening, sort of. for the last bit, the correct answer being, of course, we do whatever is required for a high and sustainable quality of life and letting people flourish

OwlFancier posted:Does anybody not just... entirely ignore figures in relation to the government? I mean, to some extent yes, but at the same time the extent of "big number" does mean something. "The government has said it will commit to spending £10m on [country-wide thing/problem]" means "Have a peanut, now gently caress off and shut up will you". but £10bn means some change might actually happen.

Rust Martialis posted:Canadian here, All-Dressed potato chips from Ruffles. Honestly, these are absolutely literally where somebody had a bunch of actual decent flavours of crisps and said "gently caress it" and mixed them all together. They're not unpleasant but putting them up there as your favourite flavour... man. Dill Pickle flavour crisps (another thing I think you only really get in Canada) are better. Know what's an underrated snack that never seems to get mentioned ITT? Smiths Chipsticks. There's nothing else quite like them, they're a little greasy in a good way.

Snack chat is boring as gently caress and consists almost entirely of the exact same people stating their exact same preference for the exact same snacks every time it comes up for pages at a time.

Just walked past the XR guys at Bank on the way back from donating blood. Absolutely pissing it down, but they still seem cheerful. Not sure they're really accomplishing much blocking though, other than bus routes.

Sometimes, people with anxiety post in the silly crisp chat this thread gets into because it makes them feel like they are contributing to the thread, as silly as it may seem. Then utter cunts come along and make them feel like poo poo for daring to post.

They do have a point though, it's as grating as the Weetman tweets and serves no purpose to the thread. Once a year/month is enough, not every loving day. Telling them to gently caress off is equal in parts to what you're saying you're defending, so drop it.
