When the Palace of Westminster finally collapses I hope they'll use the new structural techniques to make a legislative building with accommodation inside it. And a big cast marble resin statue of Boris Johnson as one of those old Roman emperors in the foyer.

I would bet a lot that he won’t even stand as an MP in the next election, he’ll gently caress off some Silicon Valley or Davos type job.

Never understood why someone as rich as him is bothering to work at all. Some ego thing due to feeling a bit inferior at being rich but not as rich as the billionaire family he's married into?

Mega Comrade posted:I barely followed Scottish Labour, what was the reason everyone abandoned them? Indyref? Just as (or possibly even more) poo poo as English Labour, except the SNP answered the "Where else are you going to go?" question for them. The independence referendum definitely helped the process along because the SNP could lay out an actual programme for change that they wouldn't really be able to do otherwise, but the rot is much older and deeper than that.

Yeah, everyone stopped voting for Scottish Labour 'cos they were a garbage party that stood for absolutely nothing. Funny thing is, they still seem to think that the voters will eventually drift back to them, without them having to change or do anything, it's weird.

Mega Comrade posted:I barely followed Scottish Labour, what was the reason everyone abandoned them? Indyref? The attrition in the Labour support in Scotland really started in around 2004/5. The Iraq and Blair were both extremely unpopular, and the SNP were offering a consistent businesses friendly anti war alternative. In 2007 they scraped into a minority government position, which performed beyond peoples expectations, and went on to completed rout labour in the 2011 election. If you want a real laugh you should check out coverage of the 2011 election results, the entire evening is full of delicious meltdowns by some of the worst Blair era ghouls. 2014 was the final nail for the remaining Labour support, which bled off to the SNP, and secured their now hegemonic position. jiggerypokery posted:It's funny because sturgeon herself is a fairly left / Labour surrogate but the snp writ large definitely isn't.

It really is astonishing just how bad so many people who do it for a living are at politics. Well not really, it's incredibly obvious *why* they're so bad at it, because it doesn't serve them to be good at it - offering people a coherent vision of a better future scares the money away.

Not quite that bad but yeah, he's a second generation politician (his dad Mohammed Sarwar was an MP for Glasgow Central & just finished up his 2nd term as Governor of Punjab, Anas then held Glasgow Central for 5 years after Mohammed stepped down. Also fun fact about Mohammed Sarwar, he claims to be a supporter of both Celtic & Rangers, which is perhaps the single least believable thing ever said by a Scottish politician. He was also nominated for a seat in the Lords by Gordon Brown but HMRC stepped in to advise against it, which raises an eyebrow), attended Hutcheson's which is an independent school (sent his own son there too) & is part-owner in the family cash & carry business, which was caught advertising for jobs below the living wage. Despite being a member of Unite at the time, which is some audacity. keep punching joe posted:And yeah Kate Forbes the finance minister is a Free Presbyterian. Which if you don't know is pretty much the Scottish equivalent of the Taliban loving hell, I'd missed that. (Well, I googled it & she's just a Wee Free rather than a Wee Wee Free, which is a minor relief, but only a minor one) Wee Free as First Minister?

Hello UK Goons, I feel like this might be a good place to ask, my partner received a PCN for parking at a Halfords in Croydon, it’s a final reminder but this is the first notice she’s had, I remember the day, we we’re going to IKEA and we noticed her light was out so we went to Halfords to get a new bulb, we were there for around 15 minutes at the most just while I fitted the bulb, looking online it seems this has been quite common and some of the spaces are not owned by Halfords however the signage is minimal,there’s no barriers and no real indication that you can’t park there especially considering it was pitch black when there. Has anyone appealed these do you know the best process for it, it was back in January so my full recollection of what happened is limited.

The low-risk approach is just pay it. The medium-risk approach is to reply with one of the templates from Money Saving Expert and fight it. If this doesn't work, or you're feeling naughty... The high-risk approach is to play chicken with them. The amount in dispute is far below the threshold for small claims court, and won't cover their costs even if they win (because they can't recover costs in small claims court), so in the vast majority of cases they won't take it to court. However if you're one of the minority you will end up paying out more, and wasting a lot of time and anxiety.

What are they saying you did wrong in contravention to the signage? Your first port of call if easy to do should be to go to Halfords and see if they will cancel the ticket for you. You can also probably appeal based on needing to make emergency reputed to vehicle. Your appeal to the company will fail but you then appeal to POPLA who are considerably more likely to overturn the ticket. Edit: just saw that although you went to Halfords, that particular space did not belong to them. Again depending on how clear the signage was, that's also a route of appeal if it was not clear that space could not be used.

The signage was definitely unclear (plus it really was dark I had to use my phone to fit the new bulb) and from looking around MSE and Facebook people have won appeals through the IAS on that basis I’d imagine this is the route I’ll be going down, I think first port of call is to appeal with the company (UKPS) and go from there

A little bird once told me that, if you have no moral quandaries about this, then if you tell the debt collectors that contact with them is damaging your mental health and causing you suicidal ideation, they have to gently caress off.
