I did not realise the labour leadership vote was open for over an entire month...what exactly is the point?

I have voted already ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve also had a look at some of these campaign logos. Not too impressed tho I admire RLB’s blade runner-esque look, and Drunk Auntie Em’s no nonsense EMILY for LABOUR.

Lisa Nandy’s I genuinely think is a screen cap from one of those guardian COF generators

Payroll intermediary. I did shifts for McGinley, High Output and Colas and they give the cash to a company called "Payme" who I had to sign up with and am employed by them some how. It's Payme that take the £16 processing fee for me to get my money. The person at High Output I talked to said "don't worry it'll never get above £20 no matter how much you earn." I did want to say something back but it's not her doing so what would be the point.

Sounds like an umbrella payroll company. My understanding is that they 'employ' contractors and do PAYE for them, so contractors don't have to worry about self assessment etc. They then supply their staff to the companies/agencies who use them.

I think what's happening though is companies insist that any contractors sign up for their umbrella company of choice so that they only ever have to pay them, rather than the individual contractors. Normally, from what I've seen, the umbrella companies in this sort of case would make their money from the other companies. Sounds like they're making an extra bit of money from you though and it doesn't seem right because they're your employers. Is it a deduction on your payslip? Are you being invoiced for this 'processing fee'?

If you're talking about Neale Hanvey, he did not do any holocaust denialism. As far as antisemitism goes the cartoon Hanvey shared is very very mild, and if the investigation concluded that he didnt mean it and is genuinely apologetic, that's fine. They still dropped him in the middle of an election and it could have cost them the seat.

Yeah everyone (Mumsnet) knows he was dropped for being a TERF, which he is. But hey SNP is a big tent for all kinds.

I suppose the idea is that foreigners *spit* don't notice you're in distress so they don't take advantage and loot your ship, while any decent British person would, being intimately familiar with the flag, notice it sticking out like a sore thumb and lend a hand.

Other than the emphatic victory bit that's not what he's saying at all. Not to defend Mirvis who is a giant loving rear end, but he has worded it very carefully to sound reasonable.

Two ships are sailing along their course and come into sight of each other, they both immediately change headings directly towards each other at full speed. After a brief exchange both ships return to their original courses at normal speed. What happened?

One was registered in Ireland, the other in the Ivory Coast both of which which look like the other upside down.

The thing about news is that it's someone telling you stuff and you have no way to respond so it has an air of authority to it, it tricks you into thinking it must be true. Until they hit a topic where you're the authority

This happened with me when I overheard the news reporting that Apple have settled out of court and did not deliberately obsolete/slow down older models but something something to stop them something harmful something. I can't be arsed looking up what their bullshit was verbatim because gently caress Apple, but it's a good example of this thing I didn't know was "a thing".

Not news related but just as jarring for me is when the "tech wizard du jour" does their "thing" in any US TV show

To answer the question "How do we make more money"

I can definitely remember that HSBC tried doing their own notes years ago, including a £100 note, or announced that they might.

I'm not sure if this was UK wide or it was just in NI where there's no such thing as legal tender and random banks appear to issue whatever they please, but I can't find anything more about it.

Research = equity research, the guys who write reports on whether you should buy, hold or sell shares in companies.

So nothing of value was lost.
