So he suffers for us. He bears our pain in the most public way possible. He serves a timeless human need, one that goes back long before the time of Christ. Perhaps this has always been jeremy corbyns destiny

That isn’t the same as saying it didn’t exist or was exaggerated. (Yes, something can be weaponised, exaggerated, and still a serious matter that needs to be addressed).

Rent-a-tool is never ironic. He is a big pillock. Yeah I know 'play the issue not the man' but I can't be assed. Everything he writes is tosh. In other news: a friend has posted that apparently Shelters are to be closed during Lockdown2. He's linked to a radio show. I can't find any evidence for this on any other site so I think it's blx but does anyone know any different? Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 00:59 on Nov 3, 2020 |

Someone threw a cake at the bus on the way back & we had nearly 30 minutes of hanging around on a bus with the engine turned off & the door wide open while they got a replacement out at 10:30pm. In 5 degree weather. At least it wasn't windy. This Children of Men reboot sounds pretty grim

Only good business is a co-op  Mom and pop will guilt you and guilt you no matter how cheerful and “not like all the other small business owners” they are all “would you mind” and “I’m sorry we can’t” while they pay you minimum wage or worse, monthly but take the piss with overtime, and then they cheerfully get all exited about a new car or fancy holiday and tell the customers all about it in front of you. At least lovely chain places pay you minimum wage for exactly the hours you work and don’t pretend that they are broke.

Vitamin P posted:Farage is probably the smartest political operator in the UK, context the Brexit Party isn't really a political party it was modelled on the Italian Five Star model but didn't even pretend at the direct democracy stuff, the Brexit Party is functionally a Patreon for Farage to get money, sell gold and maintain a public profile. I'd probably give the title to Sturgeon tbh, advocating for right-wing culture war poo poo has some fairly large biases in its favour and despite his overexposure Farage has never managed to turn it into actual power for himself. The existence of a Farage vehicle for this nonsense is inevitable, sure, I just think that specifically by May the lockdown argument will have been sorted one way or the other.

Needs to try and stay relevant until the next crisis he can swoop in on, he'll be running a Luddite party by the end of the decade, complete with wispy beard and a moonshine still for photo opportunities. Looking forward to the US election today. If Trump gets beat (I think he'll win) I wonder where all his supporters will flock to? Will they ditch electoralism and go full Q-cult or is the next fascist god child going to be Mike Pence or something?

I’m getting so pissed off with middle class and retired twitter bleating about closing the schools when nothing has been set up for poor kids who will fail GCSEs and A levels if they do. See, the government stops giving money for your kids at 19, so yes, middle class kids can go to college for a re-do, poor kids can’t. Poor kids can’t afford the laptops needed for working from home, and the poorer you get the less likely it is that you are in an environment suitable for home learning - putting little Jessica in your home office is fine, but 14 year old Sam who has to share a bedroom with his 6 year old sister is going to have a bad time. But hey, it’s a sacrifice the middle classes are prepared to make, someone has to work the checkouts but it sure as poo poo better be Sam and not their Jessica. /sigh

If Biden wins (which I think he probably will), & Trump eventually leaves the White House, we can expect 4 years of absolutely nothing being done for BLM, poverty or healthcare, leading to escalating class & racial tension & the complete loss of confidence in any kind of political process, & the 2024 election will be a landslide for a suspiciously Argentinian sounding bloke named Hilter e: see also, if Starmer wins the 2024 GE Borrovan fucked around with this message at 11:09 on Nov 3, 2020 |

They want to close all the schools entirely, when they could just keep their own kids at home because there is literally nothing from stopping them.

Kids home lives may be awful for learning but schools are being kept open so that all the people currently working in supermarkets can still be forced to go. If quality of education and life trajectories factored into the government's plans then they wouldnt have turned all the schools into Toby Young Academies.

I have mixed feelings towards Farage's new party. On the one hand, he's going to pull voters away from the Tories which is ostensibly good for Labour. On the other, he's going to drag the discourse further to the right and fire up a culture war Starmer has shown no interest in fighting, meaning he'll simply cede ground. On balance I wish someone popular would set up a similar left-wing party to drag voters away from Labour and maybe shift them to the left.

I think I mentioned this before, but at my sister's school they got given a bunch of laptops for kids to work from home. Most of them stayed in a cupboard because the parents were required to sign a form saying they'd pay £470 if the laptop was lost or damaged. One parent asked my sister if she knew how much extra power the laptop would use. Another asked if she could return it to school each evening and pick it up in the morning, because otherwise her boyfriend would definitely steal & sell it. One little boy wanted to know how long the battery lasts because he had the brilliant idea that he would work in his grandad's shed, because it's quiet in there. On the other side of the coin, a parent wrote in to say the school had "delivered an expectation of childcare which he expects to be fulfilled". He's a software developer who works from home anyway - he just likes the quiet. I'm not even sure what point I'm making here other that really deep underlying social issues can't be suddenly fixed by loaning someone a laptop. Closing the schools just shines a light on awful poo poo that normally passes unnoticed.

Turns out forcing people to work 8+ hours a day removed focus from what's actually important in life if you are trying to raise a family.

learnincurve posted:They want to close all the schools entirely, when they could just keep their own kids at home because there is literally nothing from stopping them. I mean, I don't want to argue against your overall point, but I think there's a potential fine of £60 per child, per parent, per day. I wish that they would (could?) close schools, because it seems like a ridiculous transmission vector given that especially a lot of the younger kids don't really understand distancing (and some kids don't care?) but doing that doesn't happen in a vacuum and requires other supporting measures.
