Ok, thank you.

In my defence I'm very tired and very high... and I saw it posted unironically by someone who thought it was real.

Also in my defence, the lines between reality and parody are very blurred these days. lol

There's been a lot of dead sea birds along the Moray Firth coast which shouldn't be sewage related? But I have no idea what else could cause, they don't look like you would assume a starved bird would look

Have any councils suddenly moved from having open topped communal bins to bins that can actually be closed?

When I lived in Plymouth, the estate had communal open topped bins, and they sustained thousands of gulls who loudly lived on the rooves of the estate. They vanished when the bins were replaced, and I guess many of those literally starved to death.

Glad that Glasgow is being shut down for a fortnight, with no trains or rental property available, and also big sections of the city just closed off, all for the benefit of a conference that the people who matter have already decided is a failure.

There's like 6 places here with big bins (local school, couple shops, couple pubs, chemist), and pretty sure they are all closed lid jobs so don't think it can be that.

And that if they cared about the environment they could easily do it all over conference call or Zoom or whatever that doesn't involve flying all these cunts across the globe to ratify decisions already decided.

Also lol that Airbnb rooms in Glasgow are costing loving thousand quid a night during the thing.

At least when they do the G8 they do it in arse end of no where places like Gleneagles or Cornwall.

Yeah, a lot of people in Cornwall were absolutely *furious* that basically all of St. Ives and chunks of the areas around Penzance and Land's End were effectively closed off for the high season (random road closures and diversions for a month before as security was set up, every hotel room booked up for old bill, lanyards and journos, almost none of whom were spending any actual money in the towns because they were all eating at the venue), especially after lockdown had basically destroyed the year before.

If it's so very, very important that this lot all meet up regularly (and I'll grudgingly admit that a lot of diplomacy *does* get done but mostly in the bar afterwards between various mid-level civil servants) then set up a permanent venue for it somewhere that's already has the security etc in place. How about Ascension? Amazing security, no crusties likely to be there spraypainting poo poo, more or less equidistant between the US and Europe, already has the airstrip more than long enough for Air Force 1 and all the communications kit they'd ever want. Of course the real reason that they do this is so everyone gets to go to a big posh hotel in a pretty place and be treated like the royalty they all consider themselves to be.

I recently shamed a local hotel into taking their cleaning adverts down off of a local group page after they offered £8.91 per hour, despite previously complaining about not being able to retain staff.

I started with "Come work for us, we value our staff so much we pay minimum wage. We would pay you less, but we aren't legally allowed to. We value you this much."

The hotel tried to defend the advert saying that it was for an unskilled job, so I pointed out that the advert said "Training will be provided", and asked what unskilled jobs require training? And pointed out that all jobs were skilled to a degree.

Others started piling on the thread by then and shaming her, so she responded by deleting the thread.

It was a small victory, but a victory I will claim nonetheless.

People who work from home when they could go into work are as bad as people who claim benefits they don't need, and neither are as bad as cunts who run their entire business model on pretending that their employees are 'independent contractors' who just happen to keep showing up in order to deny them workers' rights.

Ironically, having to turn up to an office every day is one of the main things HMRC look for to determine if someone is not, in fact, an independent contractor.
