https://www.flightradar24.com/GVVBO/2943d681 That registration is alarmingly close to "Gibbo" - and also it took off just after I started posting about weird air traffic and made a beeline to my house then to the house of a mate I was talking to about this, if I don't post again avenge me.

 It's actually *two* surveillance aircraft, the intersection is over Chingford - I can only assume they're calibrating their instruments by measuring the exact shininess of Iain Duncan Smith's head.

I had a dream the last Saturday where a person bathed in golden light appeared and warned me my alarm was still on and would ruin my lie in. The dream was true so I woke up, turned my alarm off, and went back to sleep. What I am saying is that my dreams are blessed and so far the gift of foresight hasn't told me anything about royalty dying.

There's not many choppers used for that, especially over London - the main ones (G-HDTV, which Sky News hire for aerial shots (it's the infamous SKY COPTER IN HD) and G-TVHD, often used by the Beeb - both are owned by the same company) and the black one I can't remember the reg of off the top of my head that's set up for big film cameras aren't about. In fact if the former two were up I'd be leaning more towards the London Bridge thing. There *was* one set up for filming - https://www.flightradar24.com/PDG60/29439c85 - that was heading straight for Westminster all the way from Liverpool but which turned around and now seems to be heading back.

FiftySeven posted:That's a fair criticism but its a problem to which a solution could be worked upon while also being back in the EU in the meantime. As it stands right now, the UK is diving head first into an ever deepening crisis, and I honestly have no idea what the solution is but "toughing it out" in the meantime isn't going to help the people who are in the worst positions. I would suggest that being in the EU providing a crap solution to the problem, would also necessarily kill any effort to solve it properly.

The interesting thing about the ambulance drivers leaving to become HGV drivers is that it reflects this weird "I think this job is more important than yours" mentality. Like I remember working in head office for a lighting company before 2008, and it was 14k a year, and the staff were absolutely horrified when they found out the bin men were on 16k. Despite the fact that we were sat in a comfy office pushing numbers around various databases and they're out physically labouring in any weather. Honestly though the problem is not the pay, it's the conditions. I've long maintained I'd be happy stacking shelves or 'flipping burgers' if the job was actually as easy as my in-laws claimed it is. Instead it's managers breathing down your neck, customers screaming at you, unattainable targets, and it doesn't even pay for the rent or bills, both of which are steadily going through the roof. They're sitting scratching their heads at why nobody wants to pick fruit over the summer while trying to break the unions and further destroy workers rights so that it's a miserable, extractive job and you don't even get monetarily compensated for it. Literally the only people who were willing to put up with it were people escaping warzones and starvation; and judging by the austerity deaths over the last few years, people would rather starve than do it. There's not a labour shortage at all. There's a rights crisis.

Despite the fact that we were sat in a comfy office pushing numbers around various databases and they're out physically labouring in any weather. Precisely. Remember when Corbyn supported the striking McDonald's workers wanting £15/hour in 2019? His twitter was full of people saying "but I've worked at my job for 30 years and I don't get paid that much, and now some kid flipping burgers wants to get paid more than me it's a disgrace!!" and "More Labour Lunacy - that means the workers will be on more than their managers!" and "This makes no sense - what's to stop me quitting my [high stress job] and going to work for the same money at Maccy-D's then?" and "I didn't go to uni and work hard to get promotions to only get paid two quid more per hour than a kid at McDonalds!" Just a complete inability to see the situation in the round, or through any other lense than some Just World everyone-is-already-being-paid-exactly-what-they're-worth bullshit. I absolutely agree with you on being happy to do 'easy' min-wage jobs if they were actually 'min effort/stress' too. I've found that the most stressful, physically taxing, emotionally draining jobs I've had were the ones which I did for minimum wage and now I get paid a frankly ludicrous amount of money to sit on my computer at home and do piss-easy work with no-one on my back. My partner and I were talking about this the other day when we were walking round our local area and noted how there is absolutely no shortage of 'work that needs doing' - there are BINS to empty, verges to mow, flower-beds to mow, litter to pick up, fences to mend, graffiti to clean, streetlamps to repair, trees and hedges to trim, gutters to sweep, road surfaces to repair, bus shelters to re-glaze and so on. It's just that, in the case of all that council-managed stuff there's no money and resources to do so and in general that work isn't deemed valuable enough by the Glorious Efficiency of the Free Market to pay enough for people to actually live decently while they do it.

If you've worked a zillion years and got nothing to show for it and other people are able to threaten their employers into paying them good money then that just sounds like you're the mug tbh.

Granted, I'm not actually sure what lowering what is considered affordable rent will actually do.

There's also stuff about improving councils powers of compulsory purchase of land for housing aswell, which is probably more important but sounds less sexy. Still not enough, but it's the closest Starmer has got to a good policy in awhile.
