I read that he's the son of Will Carling and James Hewitt, neither Charles nor Di were involved. The magazine had some great chocolate reviews too.

Darth Walrus posted:Ooh, nutty fudge. That does sound nice. Chocolate fudge with ground hazelnut (or whatever other means you can feasibly use to make fudge hazelnutty) seems like it could be a big hit. Dark chocolate praline fudge eggs sounds like a recipe for me dying of simultaneous cardiac arrest and hyperglycemia tbh.

kecske posted:do any of the other fudges have nuts in or would this be a foray into the exciting world of managing food allergens I’ve made peanut butter flavour in the past. Though I’m yet to use whole nuts. But between the dairy, the soy in my vegan flavours and several more specific allergens people have raised, I’m on top of it. My labelling is FSA compliant and I avoid cross contamination as much as is possible in a domestic kitchen.

Plus "she's not actually *very* black, plus i find her attractive and i hate blacks so she can't be black". VVV Does your workplace formally recognise one or more? It makes things much easier if they do. Lungboy fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Mar 4, 2021 |

I genuinely have no idea. All I know is that I feel I should be in one and am not fully sure where to look. Based on my role, support staff for the Education sector, it looks like GMB might be the best one but I am not sure.

Private Speech posted:All that said it feels like those complaints would be less pronounced if she were white british. Well that's what I'm saying, there's a substantial amount of the commemorative-plate-buying public who would be happier with Harry marrying a dark-skinned posh British woman (and it says a lot that I'm *really* struggling to come up with an example) than, say, Taylor Swift. They want their royal women demure and devoted to their husband - the plastic princess thing that Hilary Mantel got so much poo poo got talking about. These are the ones that turned on Diana as soon as she divorced Charles, which is actually probably a majority of them (with her dating Dodi al-Fayed being the back-breaker for the rest).

Racism, in the UK, is (was?) legally defined as discrimination based on colour, ethnicity or national origin. Where the latter includes ‘American’. The question mark is I am not sure it is even a current legal term, being folded into the broader category of discrimination.

Maybe there is some antisemitism in play that Epstein died in prison while Prince Andrew didn't, or maybe it's some other kind of structural privilege. Either way, let's jail Andrew to make sure we're not treating anyone unequally.

VideoGames posted:I want to join a union but am not sure what the best one is. Has anyone had any experience with GMB or something similar? Usually the first step is to join the union that has recognition in your workplace if there is one. If not try this https://findyourunion.tuc.org.uk/ Also consider joining the IWW as a supplement to that. Always good to have someone more radical in your corner.

Holy poo poo, I've just renewed my driving license and it looks like a cheap forgery where they've Brexited it - the format is the same but they've changed the top line to remove the EU flag and just slapped "UK" on it, and added a completely pointless Union Flag next to the text lines

I renewed mine about 5 years ago and it had the badly photoshopped completely pointless Union Flag next to the text lines as well as the EU flag with UK in the middle in the top left, but I'm sure that my one before that only had the latter. 10 years ago, I'd post the two for comparison but  to censor them enough. Also somehow the (admittedly useful and impressive) option to transfer the digital photo I submitted for my passport to the new license has somehow put two stone on me and added eyeliner, I look like something between thingummy from Green Day and the bad guy from Highlander.
