He was handcuffed, drug-tested, taken to the station and strip-searched before spending hours in a cell before being released about 12 hours later, with nothing having been found. Good to know nothing has changed in the 41 years since this was broadcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO8EpfyCG2Y

namesake posted:Modern journalism doesn't investigate or discover things, that's why it's such a big deal when they actually ever report on anything that isn't after some sort of official announcement or major event. I'd imagine most of them don't even know what Fleet Street was. I do worry sometimes that I'm starting to join dots that aren't there when I do posts like that, and then like clockwork a report or leak will come out and it turns out I was most of the way there. On the score of drinking, judging by the street outside being a popular shortcut to the local pubs the absolute lads are out in force and hoping to get themselves thoroughly peppered with covid, or at the very least making plans to combine it with super-gonorrhea.

RockyB posted:While I'm drunk posting I should make sure to point out that minimum wage was only introduced in 1998, 22 years ago, under Blair. Yet today it is enshrined to such an extent that even the tories have to pander the voting populace by increasing it. Wellllll yes and no - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wages_Councils_Act_1945 I.e originally introduced on a per sector basis by Actual Socialists. I remember Blair bringing it in. It was framed as a RE introduction of a minimum wage not some radical new idea.

Jakabite posted:I’m in a pub waiting for my girlfriend so we can go to the park. I know it’s naughty but I love pints and I’m depressed. Anyway, social distancing isn’t happening, like at all, everyone’s loving leathered, and were gonna have a MASSIVE spike in cases in two weeks. Popped in for a swift half to see how it looked and yeah, there were two tables of people obviously distancing with just their own group but most people weren't giving a toss about social distancing, like drunk singing along to the jukebox, sitting at the bar when the hastily printed A4 sign clearly says not to and it was hot in too there was even condensation on the windows. Maybe nobody in that pub was carrying covid and it's fine but if anyone was then half the people in there just caught it. Pistol_Pete posted:In short, he's a dull psychic drain but not actively malicious and that's the nicest thing I can say about him at this point. I reckon how malicious Starmer feels depends a bit on peoples brexit views. Not an attack but people that were really anti-brexit were inclined to ignore that the stance Starmer spearheaded all but guaranteed Dudley North, Redcar, Lincoln etc etc were definitely going to be lost, I'm sympathetic to the objective fact that most Labour members wanted to stop brexit, for the best of reasons too, but going against the referendum result was only going to end in a battering. Part of Starmers wierd 'BLM is a moment, can't wait to get a pint in' poo poo is so obviously culture war stuff to appeal to the same constituents that he deliberately pushed away in 2019 that it strains credulity that he was magically unaware of them a year ago. Genuinely believe Starmer deliberately pushed not respecting the referendum result to ensure a massive electoral loss to kill corbynism, your idea that he's just dumb and boring is a much bigger reach than that.

Fuckin' hell. There surely must be some rational explanation - or maybe a mistake? This can't be real! £252million contract to provide PPE given to a firm that specialises in currency trading, offshore property, private equity and trade financing! (The first tweet is £18.5m to avensis).  https://twitter.com/JolyonMaugham/status/1279313731894349826?s=20 He has other examples on his twitter feed.

When Boris referred to his £250k/year Telegraph salary as "Chicken Feed" this is what he was thinking about. He did it with his "Garden Bridge" project, then they did it again with the ferryless ferry company, and again with Dyson and others with the ventilator scheme - you pay (a vast some of money) for a project and then call it off, the money is then written off and the people you've paid don't actually have to deliver anything. Or you pay for "consultancy" or "feasibility studies" and the like and then decide "Oh woops turns out it's not a good idea after all" but the money is now gone. This is, in my mind, the whole and entire reason for Boris to have sought to be PM. In a just world, he would be dragged out into the street and beaten by all the people he's stolen from, but of course like with the Panama papers, nothing will happen.

Sooooo... is there actually a mechanism for finding out how the contract was put out to tender, what the tender application actually said and how it was assessed? Or is it all super opaque (because it says "hi m8 i can do this" and the assessment said "look who's getting a new yacht then  " and the acceptance letter said "hahahahaha")
