big scary monsters posted:I suppose if you're going to overwinter in Antarctica you probably aren't doing it just for the money, but the flat rate £24,685 salary +10% bonus seems pretty bad for highly skilled work, spending a year entirely cut off from the world living in a metal shack in a frozen desert. Though on the upside your food and accommodation are paid and you've got plenty of time to organise an Antarctic workers' union. I mean, this is pretty big, yes. You're making 2 grand a month with literally nothing to spend it on, so you'll be coming home with all of that minus tax (which will be at the basic rate) in your bank account.

I doubt it's deliberate but Starmer is doing a really good job all the same of preparing the ground for a centre left candidate to be welcomed by the left and centre wings of the party just by not being such an entirely worthless neoliberal empty suit. I had zero expectations from Starmer but I still couldn't conceive that he would be this detestable

I really wish they'd do one of those Games Workshop hack and slash games where you get to be a champion of Chaos rather than an agent of the Empire/Imperium. C'mon, RPG customisation where you get to pick your god and become progressively more mutated would be rad as hell. Let me play as a Warrior of Slaanesh and obliterate an entire screenful of enemies in a tastefully-scented murder-orgy, or a Sorcerer of Tzeentch who turns the entire enemy army inside out and then makes them eat each other.

And if you're there more than 365 days consecutively you get to pay 7% BAT instead (with various caveats that require too much googling to be sure of.)

Guavanaut posted:Red Ed Redemption. Tbh I genuinely think that Ed would be an excellent unity candidate, though on the probably very unlikely proviso that he had a damascene conversion to the left. But basically everyone likes Ed as a personality these days. Anyway, Ash Sarkar is clearly a member of this thread, reveal yourself coward! https://twitter.com/AyoCaesar/status/1356979710866112513

I'm not sure that "what if we tried ed again" is going to be a very good electoral decision though. Also he's got a lot of baggage, not like he wrote his previous positions in stone or anything. Also do pork scratchings count as crisps.

I mean, it's not even a little likely to happen so I don't want to be too ride or die for this idea, but I think you could make a good "comeback kid" narrative and talk about how he's changed and matured as a politician. And does he have any real baggage? He can basically disown any previously held political position. And he went through an entire election cycle and the worst the Tories could dig up on him was that he ate a sandwich weird once. I think in a post-Boris era we've crossed the Rubicon of looking a bit stupid once can sink your political prospects.

He seems perfectly willing to take any position if it keeps him in a job, which to me makes him untrustworthy. I would prefer someone who at has at least been slightly consistent in the general theme of what they want.

Eh, you could have him say that "I was being held back before but now I see that leftist politics aren't just viable but necessary" and reveal himself as the True Ed. And as Borrovan mentioned, having a Jewish leader could be very useful!

I'm not a huge fan of paying people in scrip but the alternative to having accommodation provided is that some fucker buys up all the rooms available en masse and then starts charging people through the nose to rent them, so on balance it seems like a pretty good system as is
