She's a trainee lawyer and helps run a leasehold business. Peak Lib Dem basically.

Ms Adequate posted:The feverishness of the front pages is amazing, partly because of their intrinsic nonsense, but also because I realized they're quite literally the only place I've seen that is in the tank for the tories, barring the tories themselves. I'm still, three days later, amazed at the cognitive dissonance of all the front pages asserting that BoJo the Clown has anything approaching Churchill's charisma. (Yes, they're both awful people, etc. But even trying to empathise with the Tory mindset, those mental contortions have got to hurt.)

More serious question: I'm a UK citizen but living in Canada (and a member of Labour International). I just got the latest appeal for funds in my inbox, and was going to toss in 20 quid, but their donation form said they can only accept donations from within the UK. They seemed happy enough to take extra donations back when I last renewed my membership. Is there a special pre-election rule prohibiting donations from overseas UK citizens?

Debbie Does Dagon posted:As long as you appear on the electoral register you should be able to donate I do not. Apparently voting in the London mayoral election in 2008 (the only time I've voted in the UK) doesn't count for putting me on the national electoral register. (At least, when I tried to vote in the Brexit referendum, they couldn't find me.)

Are any of the third-party food delivery places *not* scum? Most of my local takeaways are now on one or the other and I'd rather not give money to Uber Eats (for obvious reasons) and I've heard Deliveroo treats their drivers even worse, so if anyone could tell me that, say, Just Eat are at least a tiny bit less scummy than the others I'd be happy to use them. (Obviously I'm going to give the driver a decent cash tip, especially as it's just started raining - I'd just be happy if the delivery fee weren't going to the wrong people)

Hm, Just Eat seems like it's the only non-scummy one actually? I mean, how are they scummy exactly? Deliveroo has a separate menu for restaurants which is more expensive than the normal menu... and on top of that you pay for delivery as well. Not the only reason they and Uber Eats are total scum

Chuka Umana posted:real question: why do people act as if there are a ton of immigrants even though Britain is almost 90% white? while I was getting my hair cut today one of the other barbers was talking about the Vietnamese people who died in the lorry before segueing quickly into "they should fix up their own country instead of coming here" and "we can't take any more people" I did consider asking her if in that case she was in favour of banning children but I didn't want to cause a scene while someone was trying their hardest to make me look vaguely presentable

fluppet posted:I thought just eat were just the online ordering bit and everything else was handled by the takeaway You're right, and I think I actually knew this but my brain was addled by hunger (and the fact that a lot of the local delivery drivers have Just Eat-branded top boxes/bags, presumably provided as advertising). They'll do then.
