Okay, not really, but I would be beyond angry. 50/50 chance of me spontaneously combusting from rage. Could be an interesting emptyquote. E: catax

Why give it any air time? Let's say this somehow gets seen by anyone, the fire hose of lies has already put out that he's spent the past 3 years trying to thwart brexit and that he's been acting for Labour this whole time. Also that Labour is the real anti Semitic party. This isn't an own. It's a dribble of truth up against the deluge of lies. If this becomes a fire they have to put out, they just make sure to plant the seeds of doubt. That Bercow's doing this to spurn the Tories or as a stunt to vindicate the anti Semitic Labour party who put him forward for a peerage. If that's not the obvious take to put out there then for fucks sake hire me to write for the Spectator. Azza Bamboo fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Feb 5, 2020 |

Josef bugman posted:https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/z3bmk8/unemployed-art-school-graduate-job-diary A lot of that is horrifyingly real for me during my second redundancy. The first one (2010 or so) was fine - helpful job centre advisor who got my experience (she had similar before joining the JC) and that they would have very little for me and helped me pass the hoops while I did my own search. The second in 2016 was a risky different matter. Much more regimented. You must apply to these roles. 5 per week. One was a banking director at 160k/year which I pointed out was probably a teeny bit above my level. Doesn’t matter, apply or get sanctioned. Absolutely useless.

Josef bugman posted:https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/z3bmk8/unemployed-art-school-graduate-job-diary I have a feeling I'm going to get shat on for this but I'll say it anyway: at no point in this article does the author say what they actually do. Ok, they're an art graduate, with two degrees, and I respect that, but I just can't work out what jobs they're actually applying for. I'm a bar manager, possibly even a restaurant/bar manager, with absolutely no relevant qualifications in those fields, and I'm actually loathe to describe myself as either. And yet as far as I can tell the only qualification to being either is just to act like it; I'm not entirely sure what a P&L spreadsheet is actually saying but as long as I pass the buck onto the accountant I don't get into trouble. And I'm not entirely sure I've actually got the authority to scream down the phone at the brewery suppliers at 10am on Tuesday when the delivery was definitely 100% arriving Monday morning but the delivery then seems to magically appear 3 hours later and I don't get into trouble so maybe I do. I've had a waiter whose sister-in-law worked for an air conditioning company and had openings for technicians who maintain that sort of thing, he asked if he could help deep clean the kitchen so he had experience doing it. Of course he bloody could, we couldn't even find paid volunteers to do that sort of thing, he's long gone and on 30k/year last I heard. I've had a waitress whose mum worked in a care home and needed nightshift 'experience' so she could do full-time care, and could she do the sleepover shifts I had to almost beg other staff to do? Of course she bloody could, and with my massively exagerrated reference she's probably on close to 30k/year as well. One of the cleaners wanted to go and do a chemical safety course, which by her own admission would lead to her getting a far better paid job with the eventual aim of doing asbestos removal (and other hazardos waste), but would be paid for completely by our suppliers, done on her own time and just needed my signature? Pass me a pen. And I have dozens of stories of people like this - some graduates, some not - who are making more than me and more importantly doing what they want to be doing. My point is that it's all very well being qualified to do something, the trick though is working out your niche. Find that, and hammer it. That, after all, is what everyone else is doing, so if you're not you'll get nowhere. edit: ThomasPaine posted:In all my times on the dole every time the best strategy is to lie, lie, and lie again.

I've no idea, I just vividly remember being told I needed to apply for this job by a very grumpy advisor. To be honest, I've had such different experiences with different ones that I suspect they have a lot of free reign.

There's deliberate Tory antisemitism there, but how is Bercow pronounced? I assumed it was from Bercov via Berkowitz or similar, but British media pronounces it Ber cow like the farm animal. British media also pronounces Jose like Joe-say and repeatedly does poo poo like this  so I don't highly rate their international credentials. Am I having an Epshtyne moment?

No way, José is still a common thing you hear in Ireland. A no way without a José is a lot less emphatic. Although you do quite frequently see it spelt hosay. I wonder if those people even know it's a name.
