It's cheating to use a century of industrial-pollution-filled-smog to make your sunsets look prettier, you're meant to use diesel fumes like the rest of us. Or whatever the gently caress Port Talbot does.

If you take a picture of the Middlesbrough skyline there's inevitably going to be a chemical plant in it.

Bouncers on the doors, karaoke belting out, people fighting and boking in gutters. I admired their commitment.

Like, there's a reason you can get a 2 bedroom flat less than 30 minutes walk from the town centre for £40k. It's the very definition of post-industrial decary.

Oh Johnson has self-doubt in spades. It's why he desperately tries to make everyone like him. He's not like Trump whose ego is so superdense that it implodes the universe around him and dilates time. Johnson is very much someone who can't handle the idea people don't like him and does anything he can to avoid that reality.

Yes but the character is meant to be a loveable oaf, because who could hate a bumbling clown? Turns out a lot of people when the clown is honking his nose while people die miserable and alone.

The big wind farms are neat, but not as impressive as an ammonia plant aesthetically. My dogs are barking again. Is 'family values' in reference to Johnson's n-number of children and divorces and adulterings and then rules lawyering his way into a Catholic wedding, or is it a dig at Corbyn like the 'not proud of place' bit?

Listening to the debate in the Commons about the new Covid restrictions, and some Tory MP mentioned "a hundred thousand ghost children". Not really sure what she meant but sounds metal.

If you want to work in medicine you need to be vaccinated unless you cannot be, full stop

TheRat posted:I'm sure I do. Everyone should take vaccines, but nobody should be forced to. Especially since it does sweet gently caress all to limit transmission. Bollocks. It doesn't *stop* it, but it greatly attenuates it not only through prevention (the virus just never gets a chance to replicate) and neutralisation (the replication of the virus is slowed), but also by by reducing the severity and longevity of symptoms like coughing and sneezing that greatly increase the amount of virus you shed and the distance it travels. This is yet another of those antivax wedge issue factoids that has about as much authority as "Well people sometimes die in car crashes even though they're wearing seatbelts so there's no point in wearing them". Also all vaccines absolutely should be compulsory to everyone without a valid medical reason not to take it, because there is literally no argument to not take it that doesn't boil down to "gently caress you, got mine".

keep punching joe posted:Like why would you be an NHS worker and not want to be vaccinated, afraid of medicines? In the US at least, a distressing number of medical staff are antivax and also trying to flog you loving magic snake oil to cure your cancer or whatever. I don't know how universal that is but apparently you can work in a medical field and still basically not understand medicine. The only excuse I can think of for not making it mandatory is because firing the staff that won't do it would kill more people than it would help. Which, I mean, is technically a sort of collective bargaining but it's still loving dumb. I would have to assume that corbyn is just doing his usual dislike for laws mandating things schtick, or possibly he has been listening to piers too much.

Does NHS staff just cover medical professionals or everyone employed by it? Because there are plenty for people who just work for the NHS to put food on the table like everyone else, and there's no prerequisite that you not be an utter dickhead to work for it.
