Maybe some enterprising landlord will negotiate whatever international treaties govern setting up Antarctic slums sooner or later. But until then accommodation and food aren't provided as perks but because it would be impossible get the job done otherwise, in much the same way that employees aren't expected to pay the $10,000+ that is the going rates for flights down there. Typically you get paid more for jobs where you spend long periods working away from home in a company camp, not less. I completely understand the appeal of spending a season in Antarctica, I've worked in the Arctic a fair bit and I'd love to visit the deep, deep south myself. But I don't think it's that strange to expect some extra compensation for the added hardship that the job requires (or even just the normal amount of compensation for the skill level).

Yeah but have you considered it's ultimately funded by a research council, ie an organisation that's underbudgeted to the point of dysfunction and under extremely stupid political pressure on top of having finance people that make the jobcentre look like a generous source of free money.

I guess if all the nurses and doctors worked for free the NHS would have a lot more spare cash too.

I don't think he'll manage it well. Wonder if the media will start commenting every time he looks a bit annoyed or cross like any time Corbyn expressed any mild disapproval re the press doorstepping him.


FWIW - I had a quick look at mumsnet and the sentiment there seems to be 'Cap'n Tom was a fine old boy but clapping, statues, state funerals, nah' also 'Clapping inappropriate when 100k dead.'

I didn't hear anything round here but then I was having an extended nana nap at the time.

It's still written in giant letters on the building they used to rent in Canary Wharf. TBH I was always *deeply* suspicious about that because that's some hellaciously expensive office space and miles away from the medical establishment, but was right in the middle of all the banks and consultancy firms (the building itself is owned by Ernst and Young), which makes you wonder exactly who they were meant to be serving.

What do people have inside their skulls? Coz it ain't brains! Cliff collapses, let's rush to cliff and have a look.


quote:

...

This is just the third time a collapse of this magnitude has been recorded on the cliffs in almost 20 years.

In 2012, a massive collapse brought both residents and tourists to the cliff edge to survey the damage.

Lisa Nandy on Scottish nationalism:

quote:


A Labour leadership candidate has claimed that the UK should "look to Catalonia" for lessons on how to defeat Scottish nationalism.

Lisa Nandy made the comments as she argued that a "social justice agenda" could beat "divisive nationalism".

Hundreds of people were hurt when the Spanish authorities used force to try to stop the disputed independence referendum in Catalonia in 2017.

Nah, chalk cliffs are very safe just after they've collapsed - the sea erodes the bottom away until the unsupported weight shears off, once that's done they're about as safe as they get because the break always happens immediately and catastrophically, taking all of the unsupported area with it. That's how they stay so vertical - other rocks gradually slump as they weather (e.g. the clay and sandstone either side of the Kentish chalk), the chalk constantly sharpens itself.

When we had the EMA headquarters in London it was responsible for something like 60% of the weekday hotel bookings for a mile around. The Dutch couldn’t believe their luck.


quote:

drawn.
And so it is settled. The EMA will move from London to Amsterdam after Brexit – taking with it nearly 900 jobs, a budget of €322m, and some 40,000 business visits every year, which support local hotels, restaurants, taxis and so on. Also likely to move with the EMA is the attendant industry that congregates around it for easy access to the regulator. It’s a substantial loss of finances, talent, infrastructure and influence.

They need to sack every loving comms person in Labour. All the statements and policy things, like that Coronavirus nine step some colours of the rainbow + shades of red plan, fall into being too detailed to be an immediately understandable response, but not detailed enough to get round there being twenty questions and misinterpretations. SNP really struggled with that in the indyref, and it's every Lib Dem's internal monologue.
