Guavanaut posted:"Individuals are free to vote with their wallets."  It's near-identical to the fun you can have with libertarians/ancaps and their attitude to unions. "A society based on voluntary association, contracts, bargaining and leveraging power...but if the workers voluntarily club together to maximise their bargaining power in the ~~labour market~~~ that's bad". This whole Co-op thing seems to be even more of a flimsy, stirred-out-of-nothing rightwing outrage than The Proms. The Co-op membership votes to pull advertising from conservative/reactionary publications, of which The Spectator is (unsurprisingly) one. A Co-op ad appears in The Spectator as part of a package deal (presumably either a package with the publisher or the advertising agency) due to an unfortunate oversight. Stop Funding Hate notices and tags The Co-op in a tweet highlighting this. A trans person retweets that tweet. The Co-op respond to both SFH and the individual, saying that it's an oversight and they will pull the ads from The Spectator. Andrew Neil does the "you can't leave me, I leave you" move, accusing The Co-op of trying to influence the mag's editorial content by not advertising in it. Now twitter's full of [initial][last name][numbers][england flag] accounts saying that, as long-time Co-op customers, Labour voters and Spectator readers (!) they will no longer be patronising the Co-op due to this terrible attack on free speech and them personally. Similar accounts heap suspiciously-similar-sounding praise on The Spectator's balance, integrity and willingness to publish 'both sides of the issue' (funny, I used to read it and even 10+ years ago I can't remember any views to the left of "when you think about it in the long term, it's bad for business to starve your workforce to death so maybe benefits shouldn't be totally axed" - aka One Nation Conservatism - being given column space. I dread to think what it's like now). And all this is being spun as "Loony hyper-woke Co-op pulls ads from Britain's oldest magazine because one LGBT Activist complained on twitter". Piss-boiling stuff, it really is. Edit: Pet-pic tax

It's the telling expose about how bad corbyn was or something. One of them, anyway. So far all they seem to be exposing is how much of their own farts the authors have been huffing.

SpaceCommie posted:I just put in an offer on a flat partially because the owners had a chatty cat in there when I arrived. Is this a first time buy? Are you using Help to Buy or Shared Ownership? I've saved quite a big deposit but found my options are still quite limited in London (where my job and family are) because of my salary. I started toward a shared ownership place in Ilford late last year but I don't know if that's still the best option, I think I'd rather take the Help to Buy loan, but the Ilford place was ideal, if it were Help to Buy the price would be in my affordability. Feeling under pressure as I need to move out before my dad does, and hes expecting an offer on this place any day now.

I know when I wreck a flat, I make sure to remove the windows from the frames completely then only hit them once. Or hit the door with a hammer only once and no more. Or leave the expensive fridge completely alone because it'd probably be the most expensive to replace.

Absolutely - I hate to be the whole 'faaaake' person, but the damage is all careful and cosmetic, once the windows are replaced and the floors cleaned it's good. No damage to appliances, no damage to walls, doorframes etc.

They were so friggin' awful to Corbyn - bullying, harassment. Just shows how strong a person he was to survive that for over 4 years. My admiration for the Jam Man grows. I'm sickened knowing these people who vulnerable constituents turn to for help are some of the biggest bullies around.

First time buy, I've been very fortunate in that I was able to live at home for quite a while to build up savings and had help from my folks. I'm looking to just use savings for the deposit tbh. Shared ownership is still too much like renting for me, I want the piece of mind of just having a place of my own in the end. That does mean I mostly get sent the obsolute dreggs of the market but there are a few nice places too.

If you have a look at the damage done and the manner/locations of it, I'm fairly certain these are infact the same person, everything that has been damaged is a removable fitting, all of the windows taken down and smashed with a single blow but not a single dent on the fridge oven or washer? paint splashes on the floor and skirting boards but never on the wall, one hole in a patchable door?
