It's better than the possibility that a Sun photographer was anywhere near an unaccompanied minor.

The deranged anti-union line the press is pushing isn't really lining up with the public attitude that I've seen. Reality seems like much more ambivalence - people think the strikers at least have a strong basis for complaint even if they don't follow that through into openly supporting strikes.

Though I guess the press create reality rather than report it. And I don't have a lot of contact with the retired gestapo that their mostly comprises their readership.

The Sun considers Costa servers with English degrees to be the metropolitan elite and Prince William to be middle class, so I think they might be a bit confused about what workers are.

Absolutely obsessed with the very real possibility that a Sun photographer drove their young daughter out to Waterloo last night and made her stand in the empty station with a toy rabbit and a bag, to give the impression that there are now just unaccompanied child evacuees wandering desolately through our nation's rail stations. Our brave tots, tired but unbowed by the monstrous strikes, determined against all odds to find their way back to their parents.

I can't really cope with this stupid bloody country any more.

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.

I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.
I just read something "funny" on another UK forum I visit. They fired a guy who did good work (something shop related I think, welding perhaps) because he failed a drug test twice, he was good enough that ordinarily 1st offence was a firing but they gave him two weeks. It all sounds so dumb, the guy was putting out good work and now they're looking for a replacement and complaining about it, because of their own dumb drug testing policies. It's a problem that simply need not exist.

So anyway if someone in southern Essex wants a job that is described like this, note you can't do weed no more then check out the UK mig welding forums I guess:

quote:

The company starts new employees on £15 an hour Paye, with pension, No qualifications needed, All training provided, once you have trained up & got good wages rise up to £25 an hour, All transport to London & back provided all you got to do is turn up at the factory on time. You will need a CCS card.
Anyone live in Southern Essex interested I can pass your number on if you send me a pm.

"You could talk about the legalisation of alcohol and tobacco, but hey, we’ve still got an illicit industry in the sale of those as well. So it doesn’t even take away the black market."

:thunk:

Isn't that the perfect case for legalization then? We admit that legalization is not perfect, but is better than the alternatives, and that the majority of people will turn to a safer regulated product even if it doesn't make the black market immediately disappear.

It's referring to the skunk cannabis craze from about a decade back, where smoking it just once could make a newspaper paranoid for several years.

They do at least admit in the article

quote:

A study by King's College of London study, based on a study of 780 people in South London, suggested the risk of psychosis was three times higher for users of the more potent ‘skunk’ cannabis than for non-users.

The study found the use of hash, the milder form of the drug, was not associated with increased risk of psychosis. Cannabis was reclassified as a Class B drug in January 2009. It has remained, for many years, the most widely used illegal drug in the UK.

But conveniently omit any comparison to the increased psychosis risk for other substances like alcohol, where heavy use is associated with an eightfold increase in episodes of psychosis

The anti-union sentiment very much feels like a London issue, as London and the commuter towns connected to it is pretty much the only region with a functioning public rail system.

Also funny how the press suddenly give a poo poo about the divine right to hop on a train when it's near them, but when local stations get shut down leaving villages and small towns with no access to the rail network, nobody gives a poo poo.

Big "on one side we have a climatologist who heads the climatology institute and on the other we have Bob, who runs a youtube channel that says the moon is a hologram made by Jews, let's give them 3 minutes each" energy there.

I think Irish reunification would be a better way to stop the UK existing than nuclear war, but they'd both result in Ian Paisley's coffin reaching about the same temperature.
