Sounds like you have the make up right. The deduction is on my payslip as "Company Overhead".

They're probably fine to be charging you for doing what an umbrella payroll company is supposed to do, even though it wasn't your choice to seek them out and have no option but to be paid like that. Be interesting to see if they could give you a VAT invoice for this service they're providing you. Worth checking your contract(s).

The bridge or tunnel remains stupid as there are about a dozen infrastructure projects people here would rather see finished first - like building a motorway to the west, finishing the loving A5, actually building the York Street interchange so you can drive in Belfast, somehow connecting Omagh to rail, completing the works on the north coast rail-line so the train to Derry can run more than once an hour, levelling all of Larne and salting the earth so that nothing will ever grow there again.

All more popular than a big bridge

None of those sound particularly conservative and unionisty though.

Biden cruised 9 states barely campaigning in them. He struggles to string a coherent sentence together, a shoe in for the democratic nominee.

Biden got a big boost from everyone dropping out and endorsing him last minute before Super Tuesday. There's also a lot of anecdotal evidence that while Bernie did get a lot of first time voters into the booths the older ones shat themselves and reverted to electablity at the last minute.

The Democrats shot their load with this and they're basically neck and neck. The longer melting Brain Joe is in the spotlight the worse he will do. Its going to be a drag out brawl rather than a clean win but Bernie still has a better chance than a socialist has ever had in America.

It's going to come down to Manufactured consent Vs observable reality again.

I reckon Biden wins on super delegates, gets utterly slaughtered by Trump and we hear nothing but "the left got us Trump AGAIN".

That or Bernie wins flat out and we get the full Corbyn character assassination and people making "principled" resignations.

they’re not
it’s something the SNP float regularly, knowing it will be shot down as impossible in practice, to give them another wedge issue. so never supposed to actually need to be implemented.

quite why Nandy’s jumped on that, who knows. desperation to try to throw something out there that says “I’m paying attention to the nations” like Johnson’s non-starter bridge perhaps

Animal Money posted:

We discuss each paper, even the latter. In the criss--cross of our conversation the idea of animal money appears. None of us can account for it, none of us can take credit for it.

The idea silences us for a while, as we try to grasp it, each within ourselves. It really is only a chance coupling of two words, but they seem to call to each other. It is immediately obvious to us that animal money does not refer to the age-old practice of rating wealth in head of cattle or otherwise using livestock as money; there is something new in our minds.

At a guess, the same way companies currently have a say in non-EU immigration policy - if a local authority isn't willing to sign off on someone coming to work at a company in their area then that person doesn't get a visa. There's also theoretically at least already a mechanism by which central Government assigns refugees to local authorities, but that's patchy at best and mostly unenforceable.

Of course like everything Nandy spouts it's superficially appealing (to certain people) and sounds common sense-y but falls apart at the slightest probing, because nobody ever actually probes into anything in a world where all politics must be expressable in 280 characters.

The more actual consideration people make about the plausibility of the bridge/tunnel needs to be tempered with: There is at least a million tonnes (not an exaggeration) of munitions dumped into the Irish sea exactly where said tunnel/bridge would go.

Normally when they want to make unexploded munitions safe they blow them up.

Given that they retired a bunch of WE.177A nuclear depth charges in the late 90s, what would have happened if they'd done that?

BLUE HADES would be rather pissed off, but ultimately unaffected.

quote:

No.” Angleton’s expression is implacable. “Water absorbs the energy of a nuclear explosion far more effectively than air. You get a powerful pressure wave, but no significant heat or radiation damage: the shock wave is great for crushing submarines, but much less effective against undersea organisms at ambient pressure. We could hurt them, but nothing like as badly as they could hurt us. And as for the rest of it — he gestures at the screen ” — they could have wiped us out before we discovered them, if they were so inclined. They have access to technologies and tools we can barely begin to imagine.

They are the Deep Ones, BLUE HADES, a branch of an ancient and powerful alien civilization. Some of us suspect the threat of the super-tsunami is a distraction. It’s like an infantryman pointing his bayonet-tipped assault rifle at a headhunter, who sees only a blade on a stick. Don’t even think about threatening them, we exist because they bear us no innate ill will, but we have at least the power to change that much if we act rashly.”

Just went to Tesco, pretty much nobody there. But apparently there was a huge run on pasta earlier in the day, and they've got a big pallet of tesco's own hand wash and dettol cleaner stuck on the end of several aisles.

I'm not sure they'd notice. Even if all 1 million tons of ordnance detonated, which it wouldn't, plus another 100kt from 10 depth charges, the total energy released would still be peanuts compared to even a moderate earthquake, so I don't think you'd get tidal waves.

They might be upset that they wouldn't be allowed to fish for a while, but they're always upset about something like that anyway.
