Gonna be honest Pontins sounds like a place I would never want to visit so I'm glad that I am never ever going to go there due to them being Big Racists.

The fact that the front gate looks very similar to our local barracks makes me wonder how well a chain of army resorts would do, where you and your gammon family get to pretend you are in the army, get screamed awake at 6am and then are dragged through a day of training. I am genuinely surprised this is not a thing, and no, I refuse to do even a cursory google.

I think most of the people who enjoy the idea of other people having things like that happen to them would baulk at the idea that they need to wake up early.

It is absolutely and obviously a blanket ban against all Irish people and they've got zero chance of ducking any indirect discrimination cases coming their way.

I suppose you're right, probably the reason flaghumpers love Are Brave Boys so much is because they want extrajudicial killings done on brown people without having to actually do anything themselves.

It's funny how ineffectual the Labour shadow government is even when "holding the government to account". This was in the story about the Brazilian covid case: quote:Labour's shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth [...] So, uhh, does he want to just ban people from getting tested anonymously and/or throw those tests out (in which case we'd have no idea that there was even a Brazilian case in the first place) or does he want to make spooks find the people who took them or what? e: Note that this was based on a regular test, not a border quarantine test or anything where you could reasonably enforce compliance.

Rumda posted:Na he gave me an eviction notice at the beginning of February to be out in 6 months Doesn't matter, that's not an eviction notice as only a judge can order an eviction, it's a notice that they will begin court proceedings to evict you. There's currently a massive backlog so it's likely to take years to get to you. It might even be that eviction proceedings are currently on hold due to Covid, I can't remember if that's the case. Finally, there's a very strict set of rules the landlord must follow, and even a small error will make their notice void. E: https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/eviction/section_21_eviction/section_21_eviction_process The 6 month thing tallies but that's not when you are required to leave, that's the first date at which they can apply to a court to begin proceedings.

JoylessJester posted:Aren't a number of British Holiday camps literally just barracks that were sold off in the 50s and 60s or have I made that up? It's even better than that, they're WW2 POW camps. Billy Butlin had his camps commandeered at the start of the war to use as training and mustering centres (the not-camp at Bognor was allowed to stay open as an amusement park because even in war people need the occasional knobbly knees contest). Being a smart guy, he offered to build the War Office a load more camps if they let him buy them back at a discount after the war was over, but they said they didn't need any more - but they did (or rather would) need some POW camps, which he gladly built for them. This why most Butlins are in traditional seaside resorts but 2 of them are in the arse-end of nowhere (Pwllheli in Wales and Ayr in Scotland - Filey was also built and used this way but the plan was always to build an actual proper resort around it, but at the time it was just a tiny fishing village). e: Huh, the story I was told as a kid staying at Pwllheli was in fact slightly inaccurate, it was also used as a training camp, but by the Navy rather than the Army. How many lies are still waiting in my memory to be exposed? goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Mar 2, 2021 |

Ayr is next to a major international airport and the major air corridor for transatlantic flights so it wasn’t in the arse end of the arse end of nowhere.

WW2 holiday camp chat: My dad, his brothers and my nan on dad's side were evacuated at some point from Coventry to Bude and IIRC it was to a 'repurposed' holiday camp for families of serving soldiers. My nan spoke and dressed well so the officers' wives accepted her as one of them until the day my grandad came home on leave in his sergeant's stripes and they blanked her after that.

It was loving amazing there as a kid. But it now looks like this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ5MlHg5y2s Doesn't look as magical as it was.

I suppose that's not incompatible with it being a wreck given the state of lodgings given to people in "direct provision" in general. Mosney was fun though, I remember they had a yellow spinny ride that only kept you in via centrifugal force. Was great craic with early 00s stupid baggy jeans.

Oh no my names on the Pontins List whatever will I do Spangly A posted:also the articles add that the contact centre was monitering calls with the explicit purpose of banning anyone with an irish accent. It is absolutely and obviously a blanket ban against all Irish people and they've got zero chance of ducking any indirect discrimination cases coming their way. quote:So if a person had an Irish accent and was calling from Ireland, then strangely that was ok Not everyone with an Irish accent, everyone with an Irish accent who lives in the UK. I don't know if that's better or worse.

happyhippy posted:Don't think there are any Pontins in Ireland here, but we had a Butlins that turned into 'Mosney' I was on a nostalgia trip recently watching old Mosney tv ads. I grew up a few stops away on the train so my early teenage years were about saving up enough for a day at Mosney with my mates and late teenage years it seemed like everyone I knew got a summer job there (except me). Then it closed and turned into an asylum centre just after I finished secondary. Now an entire generation has grown up and probably wouldn't know what Mosney was if I mentioned it. An important cultural touchstone lost like tears in an overcrowded and not terribly clean holiday park swimming pool.

Trust the Tories to gently caress up a sure thing. Now the story goes from "Sturgeon almost certainly misled parliament" to "idiot Tories try to collapse government 2 months before election during a pandemic". Literally all they had to do was nothing and there would have been better chance of her resigning outright (there's still a non-zero chance she does).
