Welsh goons needing a vaccination passport:

https://gov.wales/get-nhs-covid-pass-show-your-vaccination-status-travel

You will need your NHS number (or they can find you by name).
They need a full page scan of your passport or driving licence and a photo which your device will take through them.
Then you have to wait 24 hours or so for them to say your photo ID and the photo of you they scan are acceptable.

Plus, you have to be at least 2 weeks after your 2nd vaccination.

HSBC have upped my credit limit every year in spite of having several years where I wasn’t earning anything at all. I think it’s north of 14k now. It’s loving terrifying, and I try to avoid using my credit card at all. However it is useful to know that in an extreme emergency I have the option of it.

It is terrifying how easily they still give out massive amounts of credit. A while ago we started using a shared Amex card for most spending - paying it off in full each month - and originally planned to save up the reward points to help pay for a 5-year wedding anniversary holiday somewhere hot & sunny. Despite never coming close to using all the original credit limit, after a year I got a letter saying it would increase over three-fold to about 13k.

Then COVID showed up and stopped us destroying the Earth's climate with a cheap holiday. So we still have all the points, and spent that anniversary enjoying a spectacular British thunderstorm instead.

Accelerationism is a reasonable response to the last 40 years in fairness

Yes but accelerating into the thousand year tontyreich is a bit stupid. Normally acceleration suggests moving into something different rather than 10 years ago.

Oh yes, liberals are loving morons

It's that tweet about "the problems are bad but the causes are very good".

Their issues with Boris are, Brexit aside, not ideological because they really don't have much of an ideology aside from status quo good. Boris is just undecorous. We need a nice respectable person pursuing these loving monstrous policies.

Very nice dismissal of a life long socialist who literally went to prison for his trade union activity on building sites. A man who when Luciana Berger was parachuted in to Liverpool came out in favour of the SLP candidate & said "People say you could be letting the Tories in. But there is no difference between the Conservatives and New Labour".

My point was just "don't put your faith in a soft left who happily collaborate with the right at every opportunity". The Labour Party should be destroyed

In that case, we're in total agreement

"While disappointing, tonight's vote shows that Labour just still isn't trusted enough. We pledge to start listening to the British people again, so that Labour can win the right to be heard once more. I can announce now that Sir Keir will be launching a comprehensive tour of every Wetherspoon's in the country, where he will squirm along the sticky carpet, sobbing and apologising, while the punters jeer and throw beer over him.

No, we will not be announcing any policies, why do you ask?"

A Labour win would be great to the Cons since it means Starmer will stay as leader. As long as Starmer is leader it's a guaranteed next election win.

It's gonna be used to attack the left no matter what happens. Be ready for that.

Keith wins? Ah yes the people believe in Keith's leadership, this is finally proof that the Hard Left are dead.

Keith loses? Oh he's been too conciliatory with the Hard Left.
