Pitiful. It's very reminiscent of Frances Barber threatening to sack her Polish cleaner because someone was mildly critical of her online.

XMNN posted:parry riposte yeah he left himself open to being argued down on technicalities, is what I mean really. To make this kind of thing work you either need to be in an arena where there are rules and arbiters (a court), or you need to be so good you close down any counterarguments before they can happen. And that last one's a gamble anyway, too much nuance and detail just makes people tune out so they'll never remember you were right - but giving people an opening to twist your technical argument against you is just sloppy I guess we'll see if the media gives his arguments any airtime, because he is right, but they need journalists to take up that line of attack too for it to have any impact Gonzo McFee posted:Honestly I've forgotten and I live my life as a catalogue of the crimes of columnists.

Gonzo McFee posted:"Clean my toilet, for your self esteem" It's a fascinating example of the Yes Minister effect. Something must be done, this is something, therefore, we must do it. Having a job gives people self esteem. This is a job, therefore it must give people self esteem.

XMNN posted:The testing target was missed again yesterday (although they forgot to mark it on their chart for some reason so I've done it for them) It doesn't matter because the most brokebrained Tory voting fuckwits are already making excuses for it. I've been presented with: "The 100,000 test figure was valid because it's not the governments fault people didn't return tests they'd been sent in the post on time to be counted" "People are going to order tests and not use them until they think they've got it so it's not the governments fault they can't complete all the tests they send out" "Obviously they can only test people who want to be tested so if less than 100,000 people a day want testing it's going to be under" All by the same twat, as it happens.

Prostitution pays like £120 an hour, set your own hours, work from home... Cleaning B-teir columnist toilet pays minimum wage and you have to play along with their sad as gently caress expectations on the working class. But its sucking dick that's degrading.

Wolfsbane posted:I do wonder if Starmer is a more "effective" opposition leader just because he's not a threat to the establishment, so they feel safe to criticise the Tories. I can't help feeling that if there was a Communist Socialist Trostkyite Cult Leader in charge of Labour we'd still be seeing zero criticism of the government. You're over complicating it. Starmer is a more effective leader of the opposition in the eyes of the press because he offers no opposition at all. They think that the proper role of the opposition is to allow the pretence that we are not a dictatorship.

Guavanaut posted:I've been paying sex workers during the pandemic, you should too. Paying sex workers is fine. I would also encourage it. Heck, booking your post-quarantine BJ is probably fine, just like a lot of people have been buying vouchers for drinks whenever they can get back to the pub, to help the pub stay viable. Paying them to perform physical sex acts on your person when you don't live in the same house is not.

It's funny (it isn't) that one of the SWERF comebacks about how sex work isn't like other work was based around how punters expect sex workers to expose themselves to deadly viral diseases like HIV as part of 'paying more for no condom' etc., which makes their "actually my cleaner likes working during a pandemic" comments even more loving gross.

Swerfs are all middle class because every person who has worked minimum wage or care work with no way out has had that brief moment in their ninth hour of work, body aching, sticky, degraded, miserable thinking "if I'd sucked a dick I'd have made as much money and be home right now"
