announcement in Marchquote:https://www.gov.uk/government/news/rules-on-carrying-over-annual-leave-to-be-relaxed-to-support-key-industries-during-covid-19 guidance actually published in May quote:Where it has not been reasonably practicable for the worker to take some or all of the 4 weeks’ holiday due to the effects of coronavirus, the untaken amount may be carried forward into the following 2 leave years. When calculating how much holiday a worker can carry forwards, employers must give workers the opportunity to take any leave that they cannot carry forward before the end of the leave year. seems to me this leaves it entirely up to the employer to decide? ours is taking a blanket ban of no-one gets to carry over anything. but I can't see I've anything in law to stand on to argue against that. so if you had a 2 weeks trip away had to be cancelled in April, you can't actually bank those days for when you're able to reschedule but have to use them up sitting around at home with Netflix. unless your business is so disrupted that the employer denies any leave requests, e.g. too many colleagues off sick, or so much extra work generated. bit of a let down isn't it

And there is no functional daylight between not engaging in the internal democracy but voting for them in the election and "I don't care who's in charge as long as they've got the right colour rosette on" which is exactly the kind of thing that put these assholes in the party to begin with.

I missed car insurance chat from a couple of pages back, but as with every FCA regulated industry: complain. Complain about the process, use the magic words Treating Customers Fairly, and remember that if you escalate your complaint to the Ombudsman, which you have the right to do for any complaint, then the company has to pay for it to the tune of about £400 The people at the ombudsman who work on insurance complaints loving hate companies cancelling policies for bullshit reasons, so hammer on that and how a cancelled policy is a black mark that you have to declare to future insurers.

If they specifically needed proof of address they should've told you that in the first place - but that doesn't mean they're in the wrong for asking for it after the fact. If you deliberately didn't provide it and they can show they needed it then they'd probably be fine to cancel the policy. There might be some compensation for messing you around and not being clear about what they needed in the first place though. I presume the tenancy agreement had your address though so they'd need a pretty good reason for rejecting that.

I do care who's in charge, very much. Sadly, though, we are stuck with FPTP. My constituency votes over 50% tory and labour are the only serious challenger. All the others (LibDem, Plaid, Green) are lucky to get 10% of the vote total. So unless there is a dramatic shift, I either don't vote (as I didn't in 2010 or 2015) or waste a vote. The left don't stand a chance of changing internal democracy now. The blairite wing in our CLP whined throughout the last 5 years and in our CLP we have had a swathe of several hundred new 'entryists' or rejoiners voting for Starmer. One of the most annoying things about the rightwing whining was complaining that 'the trots' (Corbyn supporters) never did anything - which was completely untrue as much of the foot work, stalls holding, leaflet pushing was done by those on the left.

But your vote doesn't carry an intent, it's just a vote, so there is no functional difference between the two positions. If you don't want them in charge then don't vote for them in the general, and participate in the internal democracy to vote against them, and encourage other people to do the same and do whatever else you have available to create a demand for a proper left wing society. You don't have to speak to the shitheads, or campaign for them or anything else. Just vote and hang out with people you like and try to make friends with other like minded people. But not doing that and voting for the shits anyway is like, the second worst possible decision.

Thirding a Lenovo, I've had a T440 for about 5 years and it's ugly but incredibly dropkick resistant and rarely crashes. I'd check out the laptop thread in the nerd forum because they have tips for outlet deals IIRC

I think it was the winter before the 2015 election when Cameron's gang were putting out the idea of um... I think it was threatening to cut people's benefits if they were fat and didn't lose weight or something. We've been circling the drain for so long now I've lost track

peanut- posted:Good Freedom Pass already doesn't apply until 0930 so - unless they're gonna completely change the fare structure to gently caress off over-60s, which I wouldn't put past them, I doubt it's going to have the effect they think. The congestion charge thing is definitely just to rile up the LBC/cabbie/van driver coalition, except they all already hate Khan for... some reason... so I don't think it'll be the votewinner for Shaun Bailey they think it is.

Some of my work colleagues are seriously talking about joining unions now, which I would not have expected at the start of this year. There aren't actually that many of us either, so I feel like if we are asked to go back to work in unsafe conditions there is a chance everyone could refuse as a united front. Of course hope is a lie, but I'm going to keep on chatting to people and seeing what headway I can make.

I don't think any of this is intended to be a vote winner for Bailey. genuinely just raising some money in place of a government bailout, and maybe be a bit of a vote loser for Khan next year if they can pin the blame on him. it's mostly stuff the conservatives oppose on paper. like they ran the last mayoral election campaign on not cutting the freedom pass even though it's a piece of national legislation that the mayor / GLA have no power to change. but now have the opportunity to try and make Khan / Labour take the blame for doing it. shame that the congestion charge is one-off increase, but for TfL fares it is a commitment to RPI +1 annually. the congestion charge and ULEZ should be going up every year.
