as far as I can tell Keir hasn't actually made a direct statement to anyone on the leaked plans for trans issues yet, there's just that one times article on how he hasn't said anything yet drawing conclusions about what his strategy actually is that said, he hasn't said anything yet, so he at the very least doesn't see it worth commenting on, so uhh yeah he's still being very poo poo at this

Guavanaut posted:In the absence of any reasonable chance of a Left government, he's started being right a lot of the time. Honestly it's such a weird thing for the government to be set against. We're spending hundreds of billions on furlough and other corona schemes, why not just say gently caress it and add another £100m on so you don't have to take a public stand against feeding kids? After a campaign with massive public support led by a young black guy, at a time when you'd think they'd want a positive race relations story?

Yeah the gov has finally figured out that this is a particularly dumb kind of dictatorship and as long as you've got the media onside you can easily navigate the once per 5 years RNG gate that selects which group of the ruling class get to gently caress the best kids

our senior management are having an in person meeting in the office for no discernible reason lol say what you will about these cunts (e.g. they're loving idiot morons who only haven't run the business into the ground because they're not really allowed to make any decisions) but at least they take my safety just as seriously as they take their own e: also the HR person said on the last office zoom call that if they drop the distancing requirement to 1 m they can get people back into the office instead of working from home lol why wait for that specific piece of advice to change when you're going to ignore the other one about working from home if possible and you ignored the 2 m advice for like three months at the beginning of the pandemic "because it's just us in here and if one of us had it then we'd all have got it"

XMNN posted:e: also the HR person said on the last office zoom call that if they drop the distancing requirement to 1 m they can get people back into the office instead of working from home lol You'd be amazed at the number of people who are desperate to get back to the office. Either because they're in shared flats with no working space, or have small kids around (fair), or they miss the social dynamic and think they can't do their job properly without being face to face (twats). HR are likely being harassed to reopen by these people all the time.

I'm not harassing HR, but I am absolutely in the "desperate to get back to the office" group. My mental health has taken an absolute loving nosedive over the last few months and I'm very close to just losing it entirely. Obviously I don't want to endanger anyone else (and my workplace is currently planning on suggesting people come back to the office until late-September at the very earliest, which is definitely a good thing!) but the current situation just isn't sustainable for me any more.

They said he wanted to keep it secret because he genuinely wanted to help and not make the story about him, but apparently the sum was "eyewatering" One of the things that is really making me spit is so many of the comments under articles /tweets about this are along the lines of 'why don't you the overpaid footballer contribute some of your own dosh', or 'have you contributed any? Thought not.' Same with comments about Gary Lineker. OK I have zero idea if Lineker is contributing huge sums (I think he's definitely contributed £140k anyway from one article I saw), but neither do any of these 'bottom half of the internet' types. peanut- posted:https://twitter.com/SebastianEPayne/status/1272838940953915393 That's what all these types who say 'we should cut the overseas aid budget' don't get, the overseas aid budget is predominantly the Sales, Marketing & Advertising budget for UK Plc.

Either because they're in shared flats with no working space, or have small kids around (fair), or they miss the social dynamic and think they can't do their job properly without being face to face (twats). Yeah I was baffled by the concept, then I remembered that I'm sitting at a large, comfortable desk with a second monitor to spread my work out on, in a reasonably comfortable (if aging with very little cushioning left) £400-odd-quid office chair, and I've been in several zoom calls with people whose only work space is literally on their actual bed. I can fully understand people who don't have a remotely useful home-working space wanting to go back. But equally, I fully loving don't - I will once my work starts being back in the building again, but whilst it's not (because the members aren't able to get into the building so there's no in-person teaching happening) I'll be pushing to stay at home as much as possible for as long as possible, for the sake of shielding and for the sake of making it easier for other people to distance appropriately in a ludicrously cramped building. I have that luxury, but not everyone does.

Even UN programs that the UK supports are all heavily influenced by capitalist frameworks of development, turning peoples and communities into labour pools and investment zones which inherently develop in ways to maximise their exploitation to the benefit of the core capitalist economies.
