I'm hoping to use this thread as a platform for revolutionary propaganda when we need to generate international support for armed uprisings so I'm totally cool with the occasional shitposter asking what Brexit means.

Going to be the only person in my house too over Christmas, everyone else is running to their families which I can understand. At least 2 of the people I live with are sisters, one left a month ago and the other one is getting her dad to go to a drive thru testing centre. I'm going to be on my own at christmas for the first time.

I think there are a few on here who will be in that position. (I'll be on my own but this will be my 26th or 27th year so it doesn't bother me.) Maybe 'first timers' could organize a discord or something or even just interacting on here at a couple of set times?

I will be posting at christmas, as I usually do, the most significant thing about the time is usually the workload to be honest, and also I get fewer days in the week to do it all which is annoying.

I will post with you too crispix. You're not alone either. Oh and in other news I got drunk and took aspirin on an empty stomach and hosed my stomach up and all. Good going me. Right after people in the thread were screaming in horror at how fatal that could be. Hopefully haven't given myself an ulcer but we'll see by Monday woo.

Nah you don't want to gently caress about with an oil pump imo It has always been my understanding that the driver in the song has a valid MOT and roadworthy vehicle

Remember when Johnson happily told the press at the begining of a pandemic that he really admired the mayor from Jaws for making strong decisions and sticking to his guns. I still wonder if he never watched the whole movie or if he just had a rare moment of complete honesty and clarity.

I've had an awful lot of problems with couriers claiming that they could deliver within the next few days and then just dumping boxes in a central depot.

It's a shame that language and politics are so intertwined because this place otherwise has so much to enrich the English language, like quare and dander and gobshite - they have no real equivalent in GB

If you really want antisocial gardening than pampas grass is a good one, it's a big horrible mess that also has serrated leaves that gently caress you up if you brush past them. Also highly invasive and gets these massive stalks that I assume spray seeds within several miles.

Those videos of people fleeing London last night has properly boiled my piss. Never have I felt the desire to see machine gun nests blocking roads and train stations before. Seriously though why are people so desperate to see their family at Christmas? Can they bit just wait a bit until they have a vaccination? I love my family but can easily accept the idea of not seeing them in the flesh for a long time, and now I'm worried that I'm emotionally deficient for not wanting to risk the lives of myself and others to see my parents.

Eh, I think a lot of people are incredibly miserable right now and have been clinging on to Xmas as something to look forward to at the end of the year. Having even that suddenly yanked away at the last minute is hugely upsetting for them.

I'm so loving sick of this unions Governments. They have sat around pissing in the wind for 9 months watching this poo poo get worse while doing the bear minimum (if that). They sat and loving watched as other countries around the world showed how to handle this poo poo and thought "Nah gently caress that". They then have the audacity to tell people they can break lockdown for a week, meaning people made travel plans, started isolating in preparation. Only for that to be ripped away with a few days left. And then on top of that have implemented a nation wide tier 4 lockdown for 3 weeks post Christmas without looking at regional differences. Merry loving Christmas eh. It's criminally incompetent and I'm loving done with it. The Tories, Labour, SNP, DUP, Plaid are all loving complicit in this poo poo show and it pisses me off that likely all of them will walk through the next election because everyone in England thinks that if you don't vote Tory you have to vote labour. Everyone up here still thinks the sun shines out of the SNPs arseholes even though they have done gently caress all since the Indy Ref apart from bitch about how it's not fair that we don't have independence, even though there's so much poo poo they could fix. Meaning that nothing ever changes, people talk up how "I'm done with Labour" then come the next GE they vote for them anyway because "We need to get rid of the Tories" meaning a load of poo poo Labour MPs keep their seats and eventually lose anyway. Stopping actual potentially decent parties gaining any traction. Sorry for the rant. I'm just done with the poo poo status quo of poo poo government after poo poo government led by Eton "elites" that continually ignore people in the worst situations across the board (and subsequently call any external help a "political play"). In short, we are long due a revolution. CyberPingu fucked around with this message at 09:40 on Dec 20, 2020 |

Might be of interest to you and give you some reading material while you’re locked down. When you’re not, consider looking for local mutual aid and militant groups and see what needs doing (I know a few but all in London and I take it you’re in Scotland; any Scottish commies want to weigh in?) gently caress the establishment but also gently caress feeling helpless.

Is there any scenario where travelling was allowed last night and illegal today, in which these people aren't breaking the rules anyway by staying wherever they're going? I guess maybe if they were all racing to their second homes?

peanut- posted:I genuinely don't get it. Is there any scenario where travelling was allowed last night and illegal today, in which these people aren't breaking the rules anyway by staying wherever they're going? Scenarios of "work, education, medical attention or caring responsibilities" The Tier 3 restrictions already stated you weren't to travel out of those areas, e.g. London. But people will cling on to anything and pretend they didn't understand so that they can justify to themselves that their own exception is ok. Might even really believe it if they repeat it enough.

Cerv posted:Scenarios of "work, education, medical attention or caring responsibilities" No you can still travel for any of those reasons under tier 4. Realise I’m appealing for logic where there is none, just the desperation to get a “legal” train out to get to where you’re staying illegally is properly weird to me.

I'm looking after the absent flatmates' cats. So dunno if that counts as xmas alone or not.
