Does that mean Avon products, the cosmetics company is called River? Fake E: oh, apparently it was named after stratford upon avon in 1928 because the founder liked Shakespeare. The more you know...

The line between Oban and Dundee is the north-south divide. The line between Glasgow and Inverness is the east-west divide.

But the general approach of "if it is food-coded, try eating it" is a rule I stick by right until it kills me, which it hasn't yet.

As an aside on there being multiple Avons there's also multiple Ouses as Ouse is just another term for river. So I live on the River Great Ouse which really means the River Great River.

So yesterday, one of the journos who has built a career out of uncritically printing quotes from 'Labour sources' had a weird meltdown, about how many vile abusive lefty trolls they have had to block. The replies of course had the receipts for how this "abuse" is apparently defined as not agreeing with or believing said sources: https://twitter.com/jeevanrai/status/1538074818888753153 Strangely enough, the trigger for this seems to have been that one of her stories from a 'Labour source' turned out to be bullshit, who could have seen this coming? https://twitter.com/AbiWilks/status/1538527605045047301 I don't know if it's just because I've stopped paying attention to it, but I kind of get the feeling that the media power behind the Labour right is fading. There's very little actual support for the pet journos like this, and once they get found out and melt down all they have left to rely on is quoting and boosting one another - which just drags down the whole group even further. I don't know if that really changes anything though, the test will be whether or not as terrible a candidate as McShitter can win the next leadership challenge.

As I recall the general trust in the press cratered fairly hard under corbyn's tenure, but that doesn't stop credulous idiots who make up the majority of people in the country from repeating everything they're told.

It happens amongst the left too, it even happens in this thread. People will listen to a source talking about the UK and think "haha, obvious bullshit" but then they'll listen to that same source talking about a different country on the otherside of the planet and then become an expert on how much "freedom" that country has.

Terves have poisoned discourse to the point that a tweet like this... https://twitter.com/CllrAnnaRothery/status/1538430139586994176?t=p9icq5VKGxxTqdzvNddbzg&s=19 ...entails a ten minute research diversion to work out exactly what this statement actually means. I think they're talking about worker's / WASPI human rights being eroded, but it would be incredibly easy to read a summary like that and have every dog in a 500 metre radius start howling uncontrollably.

I don’t mean to single out whoever this person is, I was just looking it up to see whether anyone was expressing this opinion… https://twitter.com/IAmPhophos/status/1538512331755380738?s=20&t=wmW6aJ70IHtx79Z_CdOOhA …this is a dumb take, right? There’s still a partial service this week which is, as far as I’m aware, not being run by scab workers. and thus you can be in a position where you use the train and still wholly support the strike, in that you can accept that any personal inconvenience has been caused by the government and rail companies loving over workers and the entire rail infrastructure more generally, right? I don’t see how that’s scab behaviour or undermining strike action, myself

Answers Me posted:I don’t mean to single out whoever this person is, I was just looking it up to see whether anyone was expressing this opinion… Eh, I understand the principle, but although my line manager is cool enough that if I said I wasn't coming into work because I refuse to cross a picket line, her response would be "so are you taking Annual Leave or Unpaid Leave?", that obviously doesn't apply to most people. Some people can WFH, so that's good for them, but that's also not nearly a majority of workers. And gods help you if you're Civil Service and Jacob Bleeds Moggs decides that trying to work from home is reason to have you Soylent Green-d. Now if Twitter user @IAmPhophos wants to argue that the rail workers should have linked with unions in other sectors to try to set up some sort of General Strike, where going to work was a bit more like being a scab, I'd be down with that. As is, they are just being a bit of a prick, imo.
