We declined to offer him our endorsement. OwlFancier posted:I again want to stress that the bulk of starmer's support came from the side of my CLP that was all old fat white men who look and sound exactly like tories. Salisbury endorsed Starmer and Raynor. Lots of passionate speeches in favour of RLB and Nandy, then the silent majority all voted for the empty suit. "Socialism is anti-Semitic" guy above was a passionate supporter of Nandy, along with a bunch of posh boys in expensive coats who all talked about what they imagined poor people might want. He's also got himself put forward as an NEC candidate, which I don't expect to go well for him.

Wolfsbane posted:Update - exec meeting was not as dull as expected. We needed to interview a potential candidate for a local by-election, who turned out to be ... interesting. Most of his statement involved quote:The Great Depression spurred State ownership in Western capitalist countries. Germany was no exception; the last governments of the Weimar Republic took over firms in diverse sectors. Later, the Nazi regime transferred public ownership and public services to the private sector. In doing so, they went against the mainstream trends in the Western capitalist countries, none of which systematically reprivatized firms during the 1930s. Privatization in Nazi Germany was also unique in transferring to private hands the delivery of public services previously provided by government. quote:It is a fact that the government of the Nazi Party sold off public ownership in several State-owned firms in the mid-1930s. These firms belonged to a wide range of sectors: steel, mining, banking, local public utilities, shipyards, ship-lines, railways, etc. In addition, the delivery of some public services that were produced by government prior to the 1930s, especially social and labor-related services, was transferred to the private sector, mainly to organizations within the party. quote:Of particular relevance were the increased political support and, especially, a combination of increased revenue and expenditure relief for the German Treasury. In short, these motives are quite similar to those that have driven privatization policies in most EU countries. So, in conclusion, I have no clue what he's talking about, unless he's deliberately conflating state ownership with the later Aryanization program. Which is a bit antisemitic.

Aryanization, that was it. He also talked about his mental health issues and how he sees imaginary people if he gets too stressed, so I didn't want to push him too hard.

Aryanization directly followed on from privatization as a direct extension of the war on public services to a war on Jewish businesses through tacit support of the kristallnacht pogrom. So logically it makes more sense to say "Osborne wants to sell off core state infrastructure at below market prices, next he'll be seizing Jewish property" than it does to say "Corbyn wants to bring utilities back into public ownership so something something Aryanization." I'm not sure there's ever been a case where the government has said "let's invest so much in public services that people start blaming the Jews, then seize their assets too."

I just read the whole Linehan article. All it really boils down to is that Graham is very upset that some people don't think he is as liberal and progressive and funny as he sees himself. Read his angry rant about the PC brigade in the Sunday Mail for more

A column in the Mail can safely be ignored as a bunch of reactionary claptrap for pink-faced halfwits. I dare say it was edited a bit to keep with the tone of the paper, but the fact that Linehan even went to the Mail in the first place, knowing perfectly well what it's like, says something either about his political priorities or his desperate need for money. I expect it'll be the Spectator next, then we can be sure he has become the pink-faced halfwits.

I've been suffering under Storm Ciara, comrades. Travelling from Bristol Temple Meads to Birmingham New Street, the train got trapped in Dursley by a fallen train ahead, and later trespassers on the line behind (passengers decided to get out and walk). I'm going to be trapped in a sealed tube with hundreds of people for six hours, so fully expect to succumb to every illness at once. Also, thank god for podcasts.

The last big storm I got stuck in, the line washed out at berwick. Which is probably one of the worst places for that to happen because it cuts off anything running between Scotland and England and specifically, between Edinburgh and London, and it was a weekend. So every single rear end in a top hat and his dog going back down to london piled off the train and invaded Berwick. I had to sprint ahead of the group I was with to try and secure a B&B before some other wanker.

Probably important if it covers an employment gap.

ThomasPaine posted:Quick question: applying for a new job in a long-term professional position, would you list temp bar/restaurant work in previous employment? I guess it depends. Is this a CV application or a form and if it's a form does it ask for a 'complete list' of previous employment? Lots of employers (or, rather, HR departments) like to see a chronological list of what you have been up to. How many years of work have you already? How long was the bar work your job? Was that your only temporary job ever? My last job application that asked for a 'complete list' (which with a work history covering 45 years if a truly complete list was provided is ridiculous) - I put the main 'career jobs' and a single line saying 'Various temporary positions in hospitality, retail and service sectors have been omitted - full list available upon request'. I didn't get the job for reasons best known only to the recruiter! Ed: Just saw your reply that it was during a masters degree. If so, I wouldn't bother to mention it unless you want to hide the masters and make the job the main thing. (Depending on your area, having higher degrees is not necessarily an advantage when applying for jobs! ) Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Feb 9, 2020 |

Jaeluni Asjil posted:I guess it depends. 5 years previous experience in a semi-related field, so I'm tempted to take it out but I was just wondering if showing that you're adaptable and can work in stressful environments might be good. It just stands out and looks a bit strange on an application for a completely unrelated position along with completely unrelated experience and qualifications.

Borrovan posted:I got advised by an HR guy (who hired me anyway) during a job interview with a law firm to put all my menial catering/cleaning/telesales jobs on there, it shows commercial awareness/willingness to put up with corporate bullshit or something. I've now got an "other" section at the end of my job history bit with all that crap on in brief, which people seem to like & also it papers over some creative timekeeping to cover up employment gaps That's a good idea actually! Unfortunately this is an application form, not a CV, and they just want a chronological list starting with the most recent, which is why I'm hesitant about the first thing they see being 'minimum wage poo poo job' rather than the '5 years experience in related field' below it
