Starmers Labour: The super rich shouldn't pay more tax. Some of the super rich literally within the same 24 hours: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2020/jul/13/super-rich-call-for-higher-taxes-on-wealthy-to-pay-for-covid-19-recovery The right of Labour are such worthless streaks of poo poo it's insane.

Vitamin P posted:Starmers Labour: The super rich shouldn't pay more tax. Because they're unable to consistently mobilise a loyal base (because the number of people who like their politics is electorally insignificant) and they don't have the propaganda networks to convince the public that Labour is actually a good choice anyway they're shitscared of challenging anyone of any power and influence in case it annoys their hypothetical voter whose views are vague and unknowable. The tribalistic Labour voter is basically their ceiling which is what happened with Miliband as those numbers continued the New Labour decline and Corbyn managed to avert in 2017 by actually articulating a platform which generated a base.

So with the news that masks will be compulsary in shops in 10 days time (because Covid is currently on a break???) does this apply to shop workers? Will I be expected to wear a mask all day or perhaps just when customers are in (I think I would do this either way) or is it just the customers that are expected to mask up?

How is it going to work? There is a sizeable chunk of passengers on public transport not wearing masks, and they can't all have breathing difficulties. Drivers can't really enforce it because you can't force someone to disclose their medical history in front of a bus/train/tram full of strangers (rightly so). I imagine the same applies to shops. And that's before we get to the seemingly endless ways people find to wear a mask that defeat the entire purpose.

Apparently, a Ryanair flight from Krakow to Dublin landed at Stansted because of a note in the bogs about explosives on board. I just can't, try as I might, figure out a motive for this, unless it's a gift from the new Polish government.

You're reading way too much into online shitposting. People pick up quirks from all kinds of sources and it's vastly more likely it's just something that stuck from copying someone else than being a carefully crafted facade designed to fool you into thinking they're down-to-earth simple folk. And no poo poo people don't speak the way they write. This should be beyond obvious if you actually interact with people.

You're looking for excessively intricate secret plots when the truth is, in vast majority of the cases, just plainly visible and nobody at all gives a poo poo because they already know what side they're on.

The most British way to wear masks is to buy a £60 carbon rebreather then have your nose poking out of the top, then as soon as you leave a train or shop stand in the doorway and make a big show about taking the mask off like you're in an anime then start tutting when people squeeze past you. Also remember to go on your phone constantly as you're out and about, wash your hands, but never wash the phone. The phone needs to be a personal plague totem covered in poo and coronavirus particles that you rub on your face to appease Nurgle.

Those don't serve the purpose face coverings are meant to address though. The masks aren't to protect you, they're to protect others from you. Any open-loop respirator won't have a filter on the output so you're breathing in filtered air but breathing out the 'rona if you have it. A facemask protects everyone you meet, a respirator protects you.

so I looked up how people are reacting to mandatory masks in Scottish shops, and I'm noticing more anti-SNP wingnuts on Twitter spouting what is essentially QAnon rhetoric about globalists and Bill Gates and what have you I am not an SNP supporter by any means (what with all the TERFs and neoliberals strewn about the place) but I'm finding it concerning that some unionists are responding to something like mandatory masks by going full fash conspiracy theorist

But I don't know if the filter has some sort of bypass valve built into it.

The road to fascism is paved with the mildest of inconveniences. Sure, kill thousands through austerity or fumbling with a pandemic, but if you force inner-city Range rover owners to wear a mask when they go to the shop then I hope you're ready for war.

The output valve is just behind the filter connector. Also the filters contain both asbestos _and_ lead for added comedy... would not recommend.
