No Obvious Flaws



Email I received this morning from the data breach people:

quote:

Dear Mr Dead Goon

We write with an update in relation to your Labour Party data breach claim.

Further to our last update we are still waiting to hear from the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) regarding our report that Labour failed to respond to a number of you who made subject access requests; it is unfortunately usual for the ICO to take some time to deal with such complaints and we continue to chase.

In the meantime we are now in correspondence with solicitors for the Labour Party and their two agents, Blackbaud & Tangent regarding both data breaches and have sought the opinion of a cyber expert as to the cause of both cyber attacks and whether any of your data may have appeared online or been sold on.

We intend to ask a number of you to make subject access requests to Blackbaud and Tangent shortly in an effort to obtain more information from them and will be in touch with those individuals directly.

We expect to provide a further update in early April.

[Snipe edit] More than 26 email addresses and other such personal information was leaked by the Labour Party because they are useless.

Like, it is a real crisis for a lot of people here so I don't want to minimise it but it's also wild that they don't realise they've had really cheap prices relative to average earnings, compared to much of the world, for a really long time.

yeah i remember filling up a big saloon car and it was like 30 bucks, easily would have cost 70 quid in the u.k. for the same thing

i think i went back in to check that i hadnt underpaid!

Seems like enthusiastically welcoming defecting Tories into the Labour party may not actually be the best plan

quote:

It added that Mr Bercow's conduct "was so serious that, had he still been a Member of Parliament, we would have determined that he should be expelled by resolution of the House", and that he would be banned from being getting a pass giving him access to Parliament's buildings.

They've been planning to be the party of upper-middle management pricks for a while so it might well work.

This is literally across the road from the new offices for my company (which have been closed today for obvious reasons, not that I was in because we're mostly work from home still, but I was there last week).

I wonder if she's got a new film coming out or something.
Proving Nate Bethea right again, british media loves to invent a person and get mad at the things the person they invented would say. It's like a straw man except hyperaccelerated and aggrandised to the point that it becomes Nicholas Cage's version of the Wicker Man.

Or in British newspaper smear language "I dragged my kids to listen to an alcoholic Tsarist while eating overpriced vegetables and water but we accidentally ended up at a speech against starting a global nuclear war."

They have a sign saying war is bad and no to putin, which is so obvious as to be pointless, also i am convinced they are pro putin.

I used to think that people who always talked about Corbyn living rent free in commentators heads were being overly hyperbolic.

Reader, I would like to take this opportunity to full recant. I was wrong. He is the king of squatters.

"I don't think that Labour should proscribe Stop The War, maybe", but I'm only going to refer to that debate obliquely surrounded by an extended primary school essay about "my day out to Itsu, ruined by the Assadist Corbyn."

this is in that category of Guardian pieces where I get to the end and I'm thinking "Where's the rest of it?" Four paragraphs of set up then forgot to write the actual article.

It is, but it also means that the fuel costs for a lot of companies are flying into the stratosphere and they absolutely cannot absorb them, so look forward to more price increases across the board!

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

Why has everyone started pronouncing Kiev as Keeeve, did I miss the memo?

Oh dear me
Aug 14, 2012

I have burned numerous saucepans, sometimes right through the metal
Kiev is the Russian name, the Ukrainian is Kyiv, and British people suck at pronouncing things

I assume the same reason everyone started spelling it kyiv, because that's probably closer to the correct pronunciation and suddenly everyone is very keen to be performatively supportive about things they didn't give a poo poo about last month.

I think the old wrong way might be closer to the correct way than the new wrong way is.

I feel that there are good reasons why people previously uninterested in Ukraine may now be very interested indeed

Cathay and Peking.

Anyway it's prolly going to officially be Kiev again soon enough, sadly.

e: Russia has received some support from Cathay; Peking is keen to maintain close relations with Muscowy.
