You know, a punt at the 16 vote is a good idea - worse case it fails, but Labour get to go "look, we're trying to fulfill our promises" mid case it succeeds, bojo pulls the vote and they get to hit him for repressing democracy, best case it passes and a bunch of people get enfranchised.

Building a PC is still easier than dealing with a pi imo. Also a pi isnt an alternative to a laptop. CyberPingu fucked around with this message at 13:24 on Oct 29, 2019 |

I'm going to have this thrown in my face in December but I genuinely wonder of pseudo Churchill will end up 1945ing himself - enter election campaign with 83% approval rating and the entire media calling your opponent a Soviet oval office, still get blown the gently caress out. Caveat that back then Labour had an 18 percentage point lead in the polls, which,

Tesseraction posted:As I recall this is merely stage 1 of the Grenfell inquiry - it stated that the firefighters were not adequately prepared, which does not necessarily mean they chose to be. Graun said that a second stage of the inquiry will look into the events leading up to the fire, implying this first stage was looking only at events after. all people are going to take away from this (and all many of them will want to take away) is the bit where the inquiry say they "have no doubt more people would be alive if the fire brigade had evacuated"

It does say however that the fire brigade did not know at the time that the cladding was unsafe, and that the fire was therefore unmanageable. They were working on bad assumptions, which is not strictly their fault. Hardly comforting to the fire fighters getting poo poo on.

Beyond that though yeah you can get some loving rickety poo poo innards in homes these days, not to mention the Nth bedroom in an N bedroom property is rarely big enough for a small rodent let alone as a "bedroom".

That's a pretty clear indication that they hosed up. I'm glad they rectified it.

gently caress 'em. If they don't want to bring down this government as soon as possible then why are they even in the Labour Party? Besides, it's a fait aclompi (I definitely spelt that wrong) with Libs and Nats meaning this poo poo issues passing so you gotta get on board or look like schmucks. Still, loving rad idea to get the Labour disunity poo poo back out there right before the campaign, geniuses. Hard not to look at it as sabotaging the campaign and anyone who does that should be punted.

This wasn't the case on Monday so Labour said they weren't backing a GE. The rest is the usual hacks throwing hatchets or useful idiots not holding their nerve. It wasn't "needlessly" reductive, it was very needful. It's called cutting through the bullshit and when you do that it's clear Labour have done what they said they'd do all along.

knox_harrington posted:Wow was it really this high? What a fuckup to just sell it off. Doing some research (looking on Wikipedia) tells me that the actual peak of council housing was 32% of all uk housing, in 1980, so about a third of all housing in the country. These days, only 18% is some sort of social housing. Back when a third of housing was council owned, private rented properties barely existed, as why would anyone choose to rent privately when they could get a cheaper council property with a lifetime tenancy instead. These days of course, younger and poorer people have much more choice. They can choose to pay an extortionate rent, to live crammed into a hmo with 6 other people, to live at home with their parents into their 40's, or just lie down and All much more exciting than the dull, affordable, lifetime tenancies you could secure under the old system.

I generally use Ebuyer for PC parts, never had a problem over the last 17 or so years using them. Honestly though these days I suggest you buy a refurbished Thinkpad for your computer needs and a PS4 Pro for your gaming needs. Spend the hundreds of £££ you have saved on doner kebabs, ice cream and Bourbon whisky.
