Organising this right as the clubs are about to return and the government need the circuses back was fantastic

peanut- posted: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). Thanks to capitalisms continued destruction of local communities for not making a profit, for many people work is their main outlet for social interaction - especially those who have had to move for jobs and don't have any roots in a local area. The sudden severing of those connections has cut many people socialization off - primarily single people, whether single parents or just young adults.

So they've managed to do the right thing, except still made themselves look grasping and contemptuous of the poor first. The Tory MPs who had to defend the initial decision publicly must be loving furious.

I didn't even know there was a statue of him in Whitby. They should really try to protect the giant loving hospital named after him instead in case an antifa throws it into the sea.

I know counter-factuals and hypotheticals are completely useless and inane, but it's amazing to think of how a Corbyn government would have been treated if it had churned out this many gaffes and u-turns (and deaths) in the last six months.

Don't know how people can go on it every day. I only survive twitter by curating who I follow to a tiny amount of decent people. It's really not worth it. Just let other people sift through the poo poo and post interesting stuff here.
