Tarnop posted:Sunak said that one of the payments would be going to people on "non means tested disability benefits". Has anyone found anything defining exactly which benefits fall into this category? PIP (Personal Independence Payment) is the standard non-means-tested disability benefit, and one of the few that hasn't been folded into Universal Credit (because the whole point is that it plays by different rules).

(I joke because 6Music is actually one of the two radio stations I ever listen to with Radio Scotland during the football season. And out of daytime they do play some interesting stuff but jesus there is a lot of unremarkable indie along with the same old tunes from the 60s, 70s & 80s, & the playlist is miserable for playing poo poo to death)

They already tried to kill 6Music once; it was probably the best thing that happened to the station and contributed to it finally gaining wider recognition. I subscribe to too many podcasts these days but when I do listen to the radio, it's nearly always 6music.

Roads and beer in one. https://nationalhighways.co.uk/about-us/history-of-roads-and-national-highways/ quote:... Also, merging BBC World and BBC News to serve both national and international audiences. Hm, all the BBC World I ever watched abroad had presenters speaking pure RP (that many foreigners assume all British people speak), while BBC News uses presenters with regional accents. I can't see their audiences are necessarily the same*. It's like from The Might Empires of USA/China/Russian compared to Mornington Crescent. *unresearched, pure opinion.

6music is the only radio I regularly listen to. Mostly just Mary Anne Hobbs though. She's the most reliable source of good new music that I haven't already heard everywhere else.

In this context, it means that PIP is granted based on criteria that have nothing to do with your income. I receive universal credit and PIP. If I started receiving an income from work or elsewhere then I would lose some or all of my universal credit (because it is means tested) but not my PIP (which isn't) Both the disability element of my universal credit and the PIP have eligibility tests which are the tests that are outsourced to various ghoulish companies and have generated numerous horror stories about mistreatment of claimants and a huge overturn rate at tribunal. Means testing is there to make it too much effort and bureaucracy to claim. The eligibility testing for disability is to dehumanise people and keep them in permanent fear of loss of benefits, while also being its own bureaucratic nightmare of appeals and tribunals.

There will be rich people eligible for PIP who would have never thought of applying for it.

CBBC getting the axe is shite, because the alternatives for kids TV is youtube (and that's obviously loving bad news) or hideously predatory commercial TV. CBBC was the only kids TV worth trusting that if a kid watched it, they'd maybe get something worthwhile out of it. I know beating the "Reithian Values" drum is silly, but it's the last post where the BBC actually upheld that.

crispix posted:Sinn Féin — the nationalist party whose name is pronounced “shin fane” So, serious question: "shin fane" is obviously the English approximation and a lot of people saying it that way have no interest in or respect for the pronunciation in Irish. But for people who do, shouldn't it be more like "shin fayun"? At some point there's a line between Irish English accent (which is weird for an English person to copy) and Irish Gaelic vowel sounds (which as a separate language we would normally at least make some effort, e.g. "En Marche", "Die Linke") and I honestly don't know where that line is here.
