In "lol they finally said it" news, Ireland's extremely egg-headed Minister for Health just confirmed that it's the UK loving up our COVID numbers (it always has been fwiw) https://twitter.com/rtenews/status/1448666738879467527?t=-0WyQPa3fRVTGmBsVJp9sw&s=19

'Waterstones' is currently trending in the UK because...Julie Bindel's new book isn't displayed prominently enough in her local store, which is evidence of a woke booksellers' conspiracy intended to silence her. Really feels like this country is trying to fit in at least two unhinged breakdowns per day now.

Failed Imagineer posted:The Highland Clearances, but this time it's good Absolutely. According to the Scottish Government in 2019 57% of rural Scotland is owned "privately". Andy Wightman put it even more starkly: half of rural Scotland is owned by 432 people. Pretty sure David Cameron's father-in-law owns half of Jura, some Danish businessman has over 200,000 acres. Country rules.

Dunno, 2 breakdowns per day are just about 60 Bpm, but UK newspapers are spinning at 100 Bpm at minimum, as far as I can tell.

I really cannot fathom how/why you would read UK newspapers especially if you don't live here, not least because it must be very hard to understand because they don't even write in standard english, it's all boffins bish bosh romp fury bingle bongle tots honk honk steamy bum. Especially as you must be able to see what that does to the brains of people who read them.

If you are approached by the police, flag down a bus driver. If you are approached by a bus, call the police. Then hitchhike down the A30 tailed by a train of police cars and buses. And an actual train on holiday from Scotrail.

Extreme masochism and a kind of ghoulish voyeurism. I also read some French newspapers from time to time but they are comparatively boring. I'm sorry to say, but UK press is a form of entertainment to me.

Gort posted:Careful, a lot of actual fash got started by reading fascist rags "ironically" Puts me in mind of the fash who accidentally converted himself to Islam quote:A few years later, I returned to the north-east - I'd got a job as a chef. When I saw a group of Muslims at an Islamic book stall in Newcastle, I thought, "Here's another group I can wind up; I probably know more about Islam than they do." But I was shocked when I approached them; they were very knowledgeable. I kept going back because I enjoyed debating with them, and after four weeks they challenged me.

It's just that UK thought leaders are apparently constantly hooting like a Gibbon. The rags that threaten to be persuasive are the likes of Die Welt. And if I ever contract liberal brain worms from one of those publications you have my permission to mercy kill me immediately.

Really emphasising "temporary basis" there, which I know visas are anyway, but just really emphasising that they aren't actually welcome and will be told to gently caress off in short order anyway.

Bringing in foreign butchers on a temporary basis was one of Charles I's old tricks, so it's probably just Priti Patel preparing for the protest powers.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Few pages back, but I'm getting into audiobook narration and am genuinely concerned that it's amazon's latest attempt to move their union-breaking into acting, at least as far as audiobooks are concerned. There are hundreds of narrators, in part because publishers have been uploading back catalogues of audio cassette taped recordings. You also have this thing where anyone can record an out of copyright book, so you find a whole load of classics at a deep discount by countless individuals. Maybe there are a few popular narrators within specialist genres but that's people complaining because they themselves have a limited world view. Like, there maybe even thousands of narrators on there idk just one page of my library has 49 narrators on it.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Really emphasising "temporary basis" there, which I know visas are anyway, but just really emphasising that they aren't actually welcome and will be told to gently caress off in short order anyway. They're seasonal worker visas, so it's not just the normal "all visas are like that anyway", they're specifically for a short-term period. Still you might get some people from very poor countries (after all it's not just EU-only), but I suspect the temporary nature of it makes it a lot less attractive for jobs which are not actually seasonal.
