Royal College of Nursing ballot on Industrial action in Northern Ireland came back with 92% of respondents supporting a strike - gonna be the first time the RCN has gone in strike. This has been brewing for a long time now as unions have been continually negotiating for pay parity with the rest of the UK unsuccessfully. Unison has a ballot running at the moment also due to close in 3 days so heavily expect them to vote similarly. So NIs NHS probably gonna fall over a bit

It's going to be a tough fight this election, Labour vs. 3 Tory parties, all but 2(?) newspapers, a heavily skewed broadcast media and electoral interfering from 4(?) other countries.

mehall posted:I'm glad we could get something sorted for you. If you're asking me personally, As A Deaf Person, I'm comfortable using listen. Like most disabilities, deafness is a spectrum not an absolute; most deaf people have at least some degree of residual hearing, typically boosted by a hearing aid or cochlear implant, and I definitely prefer to hear what I can of the voices and follow along in the subtitles. This is why it can be super annoying for deaf listeners if the subtitlers try to editorialise/summarise and don't match the audio content exactly - we can tell something is off about what we're hearing vs reading, but have no way to tell what the difference is. I CAN watch TV shows on mute with subs, but it's a bit harder to follow and less enjoyable. Of course there will also be a segment of the audience who aren't in a position to consume the podcast with sound on and will choose YouTube + subs as their best alternative. I can't speak for those weirdos but it did feel right to use "consume" there. "enjoy" is a) making assumptions and b) sounds like you're talking about some kind of sexual transaction.

Braggart posted:Can someone who knows their poo poo comment on how ScotLab as a whole is looking in terms of election chances? So, while we gained a few seats in 2017, the main thing the surge did was put us close to close-ish in a bunch of places. So there's reason for hope. Whether any of that potential is going to be realised is a different story. Obviously we don't know yet whether we're going to be able to replicate the 2017 miracle in this election. I'm hopeful, but I'm not going to put money on it just yet. This election taking place after a year of constantly pushed-back deadlines means I think Brexit is a lot more of a focus for many people (if you look at the polling since the last election, you can the plunge begin sharply around March (insert standard disclaimer about polling)), and that's specifically a problem in Scotland because, as seems to be our main problem in Scotland generally, the SNP are seen as more credible on our position than we are. So that's a negative. What's positive is everything else, the nonsense with Frances aside. We're having a belter loving opening to the campaign season, but more than that, motivation and organisation are through the roof. I can only speak for Edinburgh, and only anecdotally, but what I'm seeing here is light-years ahead of the 2017 campaign. Then, we were exhausted, things looked bleak, and the direction was a meant. A whole bunch of energy was put into South, ffs, the only Labour seat in the country, while N&L and East in particular were massively underserviced. This year we have energy, manpower, hope, coordination. My CLP has even concocted some scheme to send Blairites to convert Tories, which strikes me as trying to disinfect a wound by pissing on it, but whatever. If you're in Edinburgh and you're looking for a good offensive bet, North and Leith is probably the best. If you'd rather play defensively, I'd look to Midlothian. e: I forgot that Davidson and Kezia are both gone, which can only be a plus.

team overhead smash posted:This is devolved isn't it, so not much chance of getting sorted any time soon? Public sector pay policy is being set up the Department of Finance in the absence of ministerial guidance and theyve decided to largely maintain the 1% pay cap that's been in place for 10 odd years (it's technically axed but no new money was given for pay increases). Westminster could over rule this but you know it's election time and nothings happening so who exactly they negotiate with is a bit of a mystery

They're taking nothing from Labour, they have nothing to offer. The Lib Dems are heroically correcting any misconceptions about their nature. Any notable vote suppression on the tory end (and it's only going to be them affected by winter and brexit) hands us the GE. we're going to take half of kent and it's loving glorious. I've heard a lifelong tory pub landlord argue that, while he hates jeremy corbyn personally, he's voting labour because "we elect MPs and nobody else can be trusted anyway". I wasted 40 minutes of a cursed child's canvassing time the other day and some neighbours I'm confident aren't otherwise sound came out to chase them off when he loudly announced that any deaths caused be austerity were fine, because now we can spend more We've got a campaign team begging for help to take the load and, in their massively overstretched state, people are just spontaneously organising poo poo. Let the right savage each other over dregs, the left is larger than it's been in my lifetime and it's represented by one party that the press have made immune to attacks by being too bloody obvious. I've never seen or felt anything like this before, there's so much blood in the water and we've barely started. It is socially acceptable to be an open communist. We must begin making huge gains worldwide if we're going to avoid disaster, and we can, and we will in the UK of all loving places.

Hospital diaries episode 3, turburculosis brain turbo booogaloo. I see labour MPS are continuing to throw themselves under the bus in The hopes of becoming a Tory. Amazing that being out of action and dead to the world for 3 weeks still means absolutely nothing but the status quo occurs. Christmas might be ruined though which kind of sucks, can’t fly with the infection in Many cases. I did get a great hallucinatory trip out of it last night for a solid 6 hours though.

https://twitter.com/Peston/status/1192539935309475841 If this becomes the narrative it will help Labour enormously. quote:McDonnell is saying to northern voters: "If you voted for Brexit because you were tired of being bossed by a so-called London elite, and being starved of investment while southerners slept on mattresses stuffed with cash, well if you cast your vote for Labour, we'll drown you in money for schools, hospitals, trains and windfarms, and we'll relocate important parts of government, including chunks of the Treasury, to towns and cities near you".

Even if they're gonna dodge the tax on it it's presumably a few hundred quid to someone that's going to spend it in the community rather than stashing it offshore, if you're paying them fair days pay for the work don't stress about it all.

I find Yiddish has the 'strong' sound of German, but with the snide-ishness sound of a more Eastern European language, making it fantastic language to sound sarcastic in, as well as to sing in.
