You work in video james right? You'd think also that they would be able to see the atmosphere in the industry with the Blizzard / Activision / Ubisoft stuff and think now is a particularly sensitive time to be trying this poo poo (not that there's ever an acceptable time of course).

One of our few competent producers on the team I was helping out on turned out to be a nonce the week before last. He was very much fired instantly but that was a 'joyful' experience of handing his laptop over to the police and trying to resist the urge to burn everything. Especially when half my meetings are booked by him and his face keeps popping up in outlook. Gah.

Then... loving then... This week a guy who got promoted just this year that we were really happy with and everyone said was a "sound dude" decided to sexually harass the new producer who was helping us fill the shortfall.

loving hell.

What OwlFancier said about : IF(brain="broke",??,???), but also there's a decent chance that they've done this before in their life and if there weren't negative consequences to the "sound dude", then I guess there's no reason he wouldn't do it again.
It's why everyone should be encouraged to raise concerns, and why there should probably be a legal duty for managers to escalate these concerns. Because if people aren't held to account, they'll just do that poo poo again and again.

Honestly I imagine the BBC top brass must think they dodged a bullet when Nadine was put in charge. She’s so loving thick she could barely operate a TV remote control so I imagine she’s easier to handle than that gimlet eyed little prick that was the previous minister, or indeed any Tory with the ability to walk and breathe at the same time.

The dwp exists to drive you to suicide and if you have to deal with them, it is massively helpful to set up a buddy or community system. I spam out the needed SARs and requests for support letters from templates, draft whatever claims for my disabled family members and a few friends, and my social worker mate drafts mine.

This way, you don't have to do the the worst case/worst day/most soul crushing effect on X category routine for 6 hours about yourself, you just review the work so you can sign off on it. Then when I'm done I want to kill fascist jobsworths, instead of myself.

This is a really good idea. Also a reminder that whenever you're dealing with the DWP, take copies of everything you send them, even if it's just a phone camera photo.
For anyone having issues with the DWP (which is anyone having anything to do with the DWP) I'd also strongly recommend contacting your MP about your case. If nothing else, they'll open a case file for you and you can send them copies of your paperwork which you (and they) can use as evidence that the problem is at the DWP's end, not your non-engagement. There's not a huge amount MP's staff can directly do to affect case outcomes, but they can press for updates and information and will almost certainly always receive replies from the DWP quicker than you do. It also helps to have an official link to make sure your case and evidence don't get "lost"

I think that’s one of the killer ones you are supposed to squash isn’t it? Like they eat other Ladybugs and not greenfly?

It's a Harlequin ladybird, which is an invasive species in the UK but squashing one would be like trying to put out a firestorm by pissing on it. Dunno if they eat the other ladybirds, but they definately eat all their food. Much more varied patterns than other ladybirds, so you wind up with real weirdos like poppy beetle there.

As a slightly toxic nuisance that reach absurd numbers this time of year, they are the perfect mascot for poppy mania.

Starmer is so paralysed by having to think "Is this what would make them like me?" before doing anything that he's totally incapable of independent thought when asked such. There are scores of more evil and more incompetent politicians, but he may well be the most pathetic.

So I guess this not only formalises the ‘supporting Palestine is inherently antisemitic’ trope, but criminalises it as being in support of acts of terror? Some people are going to end up in court on really hosed up charges aren’t they
