They do, but that's not Green Brigade. And in the same way that Boris Johnson was technically having an afternoon meeting at a place exempt from COVID regulations with staff, the optics of the SNP shutting down outdoor events despite any evidence for outdoor transmission, then working backwards to justifications for it, isn't great?

Sorry, no evidence of outdoor transmission? https://aldianews.com/articles/culture/music/covid-19-infections-confirmed-bad-bunny-concerts/68665

Tesco this morning was 6-8 no mask, 1 nose commando and the rest were masked, damned place was heading towards packed as 8am, very few staff were masked. :rolleyes:

Yeah I went to the supermarket at the weekend and I think all the customers I saw had masks on (couple of old people with their noses stuck out though) but literally none of the staff. Like what the actual gently caress.

Me either, but pointing out that something like that is 'political' and ignoring all the times when the equally qualified Black candidate gets passed over for 'culture fit' reasons is itself a political act.

Could you elaborate on that? Because it was my understanding that it used to be that you would get diagnosed (by an educational psychologist in my case and by a doctor in my uncle's case), and then take the report to the DWP. As far as I was aware you needed a diagnosis from a professional, or at least if you went in with your reports that would be accepted as proof.

Now we have a situation where the DWP do their own assessments, and generally the first line of refusal is done by people with 2 weeks training who look up rain man on wikipedia and decide it's not that, because you didn't 'look' autistic on the day. You can go in with all the professional prep you like but these dipshits can just decide you looked too happy, or were able to complete basic tasks once regardless of how long it took or how much pain it caused, and over-rule the diagnoses of GPs, consultants and trained diagnosticians.

oh no no this was genuine bullshit artists wanting "a bit of extra money" for their kids, there was a rumour that went round that THEY couldn't "force your kid to do all the tests" and a load of old bollocks about how parents know best and that they should be believed, so a *lot* of people literally applied without any medical proof but ticked all the boxes that said they could contact GPs which turned it into a big system clogging mess. Which ultimately led to the system we have today.

I have friends who worked on the autism charity help lines at this time and they were absolutely inundated with parents who said they had gone to doctors and been told politely to gently caress off when they asked for a statement and what should they do. Now that's not to say there isn't a big problem with that side of the system but the numbers went up too high and a lot of time was spent explaining that if you think your kids needs ritalin then that's a discussion with a GP and no having that prescription would not entitle you to DLA on it's own and sir this helpline is usually used by teenagers who are being failed by CAHMS and need to talk.

This is why I never give a poo poo about the Christmas #1. It's always stupid because the people are stupid.

Except that time it was Killing in the Name as a meme, although the discourse around that was also stupid, because the people are stupid.

Totally. If someone deliberately coughed in m y face I would hit them. (I say that but I would probably be too scared, but VERY tempted).

The local shops have been pretty good about masking. Our local Tesco is usually pretty bad for masking but when I was there a couple of days ago it looked like about 99% mask-wearing, which was a pleasant surprise.

Was wavering on the fence because I generally don't find Kunt and the Gang all that funny, but 'Ladbaby' getting pissy about it being mean to the government has induced me to buy three.

Also it's a riff on the KLF's Dr Who song which is pretty funny.

Made big mistake.
Had some Baileys flavoured cream in meringue shells a few days ago - no problem.
Went to Waitrose :guillotine: to get some more to shove in some meringue shells for my xmas and they had completely sold out so bought some rum flavoured cream instead. Shoved in meringue case as shells all sold out too.
Heart racing, sweating, all my alcohol 'allergy' symptoms in full pelt. All the windows are open, my fan is on, heart doing the fandago - it's just gone below 100 bpm now.
That'll learn me.

And they're out of gravadlax, M&S Food :guillotine: is also out of gravadlax, so that's my xmas day ruined LOL

I can't drink alcohol neat like that it makes me really ill. It has to be mixed/blended with food and obviously there's a limit to that which I have now discovered! (I had no alcohol at all from Dec 2005 until a single tub of baileys flavoured cream last xmas and then none since then until this week.)
