I mean that is entirely normal things governments do, that's how a government works, it is assembled from people who will pursue the government's agenda. If you had to pick people at random then it wouldn't be a government. Plus lmao at anna soubry complaining that she wasn't interviewed to run parts of the government, as if that is a thing she is somehow entitled to do. quote:She felt her experience as a former broadcast journalist as well as steering regulation as a minister at the Ministry of Defence from October 2013 to May 2015 and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills from May 2015 until July 2016 made her a plausible candidate. In addition, she said she had experience taking bills through parliament and that this would be useful for the future Ofcom chair given the likely need to reform the regulation of online safety and social media. quote:“Again, week after week went by and I got the email saying I didn’t get an interview,” she said. “Then I applied to be on the board of Channel 4. They were looking for a non-executive director with political and media experience. I mean, hello, all those years as a journalist and a politician at a senior level. Again I wasn’t offered an interview.” I should have the job boris, I was a journalist. The whole article is just very funny because it's just anna soubry failing to get high profile jobs and apparently this is national news. Definitely no other reason why nobody wants to hire the person who joined the funny tinge group for change. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 10:10 on Nov 10, 2021 |

Funnily enough since the withdrawal from Afghanistan the US heroin supply has almost completely dried up, almost as if there was some connection between the two.

It's definitely strange, because on paper the US heroin supply was supposed to mostly come from the golden triangle (powder brought in via Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland) and Mexico (black tar across the southern border), with hardly any coming from Afghanistan. Chinese fentanyl undercut huge amounts of that in the mid-2010s, causing the opioid epidemic (and opioid to enter the common dictionary) until China put a direct hand on their pharmaceutical sector with the pandemic last year. Either way, the price of opium as a cash crop in rural Mexico has suddenly skyrocketed, allowing farmers to reignite their call for legalization and an end to military repression, which is at least very coincidental.

It doesn't say who the legal work was for though, going to be great if it was Mishcon de Reya. https://twitter.com/guardian/status/1458382586036817923?s=20 I'm pretty sure every non agency job contract i've had has a clause about not having second jobs. I guess that sort of thing is just for the little people who need to be beholden to one employer, not people who are rich and/or supposed to be concentrating on running the country.

When the first battalions came back from Afghanistan, the UK was suddenly and mysteriously saturated with very pure heroin, when previously the street heroin was as low as 1-3% pure. This resulted in many deaths, including a good friend of mine. He was an ex user, and came home from work one day to find his wife had left him, taking the kids with her. He bought some street heroin as a coping strategy, and they found his body 3 weeks later with the needle still in his arm...

Also, Kieth doesn't need to concentrate on running the country, that's never going to be a concern for him
