i was walking down the street once and i saw jremey crombin cycling on his maoist bicycle, marxistly. he was wearing a plackard that had "immigrants OUT" on one side and "gently caress THE EU" on the other. how was this man allowed to become a member of the Labour party in the first place - much less its leader - is beyond my understanding

Pistol_Pete posted:I pretty much agree with that. If Pidcock believes the Labour Party is a dead end, then she should leave the NEC and leave the party. If she believes that it's worth staying to fight on, her duty is to stay in her position and keep working towards the left getting increased leverage in the NEC. Abandoning the NEC but staying in the party just surrenders any power for change that she does have, to no benefit. I think folk are massively underestimating the emotional baggage that comes from being that deep in something like the Labour party. Give her some time to focus on herself and bringing up her son. She probably needs to decompress from all the bullshit before she can even start considering what she thinks again.

But its not the travel lodge. She's in no 10 Downing Street, and Boris keeps walking past the door, while having the telltale heart moment of "I can hear a typewriter somewhere." (I know Boris lives in no 11. but I assume at least some "workW goes on in no 10...).

"stay and fight" doesn't work when the plp apparatus has- at will and with no tangible opposition- suspended/kicked out thousands of politically active leftwing members while taking further control of selection/disciplinary procedures, and the "fight" part hasn't materialised at all in the last two years while the plp secured itself to prevent another corbyn happening ever again "stay and fight" is as meaningful as another policy relaunch direct from the sack of wet eggs himself at this point, pleasant sounding nouns without context

Any work that has actually happened was done in Whitehall by the civil service.

grobbo posted:That's exactly right. (Although the hawks are meant to scare the pigeons away rather than actively dripping commuters with gore.) IIRC they actually have a couple of birds of prey that they move around all of the big terminuses to keep the pigeons away. There's also a falconer that works for Westminster City Council to keep pigeons away from Trafalgar Square and Whitehall. Personally I prefer the way Canary Wharf Group do it - they have roosting boxes at the very top of 1 Canada Square and a couple of other of the tall buildings and let peregrine falcons nest there, which both keeps the local pigeon population under control and also protects the falcons, because egg collectors and land owners wanting to keep pheasants alive long enough to be shot by their inbred mates are by far the worst predators of the peregrine falcon. That'll take at least two days of the eternity in hell they're going to get for every other thing they're up to, at least.

My hospital has a falconer who comes to visit, drives up with his falcon in a van and lets it fly around. It's such a beautiful bird up close, he let me have a look at him.  One of those jobs you never think about, but by the looks of things there are a fair few of them. I wonder how you even get started?

Early this morning the BBC subheading on this story read as "Jobseekers on Universal Credit will have to look for jobs outside their chosen field more quickly or face sanctions, under new government plans to get more people back into work." Those last seven words have now gone. Guess they only lick boot when they think master is looking at the moment.

IM not so H Opinion: Two of the best ways they could get people back to work are: 1) remove the stupid AI systems that sift applications that weed out anyone with a degree higher than Batchelors, anyone who has a non-linear career, anyone who has been out of the job market for whatever reason (travel, caring responsibilities etc), anyone who doesn't put the right keyword in their application. 2) remove HR departments from the selection process though they can do all the collection of applications and taking up of refs etc - because in my experience they are pretty clueless about what a department manager actually needs (source: me trying to recruit people and HR would not pass me all the decent people because (a) they were a bit geeky and didn't put 'team work' on their applications and (b) HR assumption that 'must be able to create database queries, import data, error trap' = 'has used a form someone else created in access but has no concept of the underlying data tables, queries etc')

Isomermaid posted:My hospital has a falconer who comes to visit, drives up with his falcon in a van and lets it fly around. It's such a beautiful bird up close, he let me have a look at him. My primary school had a falconer come by once to talk to us about the job and show off the birds. I don't remember any of the career advice, but everyone remembers the local gulls making a really weird call in the universal gull language before they darkened the sky and the falcon fled for its life. They found the poor thing hours later hiding in some toilets on the beach. More seriously you join the falconry society, pester people for advice and potential mentorship, demonstrate that you have permission and ability to access appropriate countryside hunting grounds every day throughout autumn and winter, then you can start training a Harris hawk. After that all the other stuff comes through falconry society contacts and building connections with local schools and businesses, with most of that work in summer months when the birds are moulting and not in proper flight condition. You'd get government work through society references I imagine. keep punching joe posted:Need to be a Knight to own a falcon pal. You'd probably need to settle for a buzzard or a crow.

So you met a falconer, but instead of asking him how to get started on that career path, you came to the real fountain of truth?  Kidding aside, I bet it's exactly one of those jobs where you need apprenticeship with someone with experience. Background with animals and other personal qualities probably help.

The falconer was a broken man, and made lots of comments like that. Especially when one of the birds slow walked back across a field rather than fly. "Come on you stupid bird, these people came to see a falcon, not a turkey!" has always stuck in my mind. Another took roost in the shade of a tree. He just sighed and said "right, I'll get her later when she's hungry." and just got the next bird out.
