Heating, plugging in phones to charge, hot food in the canteen that may well be cheaper than cooking your own, plus some offices have shower facilities. If we can just find a way to plumb in a washing machine then we're sorted.

The sequence of events will be: 1) October fuel cap drains remaining savings and income from most working class households. 1b) Recession probably declared as Q3 growth is negative meaning serious fears about future spread across country. 2) Winter covid wave kicks off in November due to low resistance from waning/low immunity in general population and poor uptake of new vaccines because covid is over. 3) Staffing issues from covid wave and long covid/lack of medical access generally and lack of customer spending cripples retail during the holiday season. 4) With the public having little else to do and no pandemic restrictions due to the impact on already failing businesses the Christmas period has large gatherings in homes and surviving public venues, worsening covid wave. 5) January is chaos month as NHS cannot handle covid wave, all services except emergency stopped or gone remote just as days of blackouts ordered, worsening public health as people are forced to gather together to limit individual heating costs and businesses close up after holiday period income not enough to allow them to keep going. 6) With literally every possible mode of existence being horrible and filled with risk - riots and public looting become commonplace. 7) February revolution. Amazingly most of these points can be reduced or ameliorated in advance by state action but lol. namesake fucked around with this message at 12:09 on Aug 20, 2022 |

Optimism of the spirit comrade, the millions of groups of people huddled around the one radiator and one lamp on aren't going to be saying the Tories will fix things. Not for long anyway. Admittedly they'll polarise and say it's either capitalism/British society in general that's at fault or blame woke European migrants ruining everything so not all the resulting riots will be good but that's just the nature of class struggle. Having a bunch of commie literature on hand to pass around rather than have the Tele on wouldn't hurt things.

Poo water can result in lots of algae which we'll need for food. But on the other hand the fish won't like it. Who can really say if it's good or bad.

If this were Germany there would be a little shelf all along the shoreline where the poos could be inspected before being washed away.

Anyone on here working for a charity that has managed to set up on TCS London Marathon and find out how on earth to access the 'teams' that seem to have been auto-setup? I've messaged them twice but no response to this question. None of us have the faintest clue what the password is because none of us set it up! (NB this is NOT a question for runners, but a question for someone in a charity who has places available in the Virtual London Marathon).

History Comes Inside! posted:Shell Energy relentlessly point out that they supply me only with energy from renewable sources, so what I’m getting from this is that I won’t be impacted at all by the rising cost of imported fossil fuels unless for some reason they’re either playing fast and loose with their definition of renewable or they just really like making money, or both. There's a condition in the Generation Licence (Condition 17A, paragraph 6) that the company owning the wind farms will have that says that they're not allowed to cross-subsidise any other part of their group. Selling power at anything other than fair market price would be classed as a cross-subsidy and therefore a licence breach. So if Shell own the wind farms, they'll be forced to sell at the current, absurdly high, market prices; and if they're buying in power via PPAs with third parties, the owners of the wind farms aren't going to give a discount on their power, as that'll cause a revolt by their share holders. Either way, Shell Energy will be paying full price for power while the companies owning the wind farms will be rolling around in a big pit of money.

You could do drunken violence, suicide, and liver damage on the alcohol bottles, or labor activists being murdered with chainsaws on coca cola company products, or a human arse hole on most of the papers.

There was an anti-vax protest in Bournemouth today. They might have had more chance of being taken seriously if the protesters hadn't included people in Trump/MAGA hats, placard-waving 5G/New World Order/Bill Gates putting microchips in you conspiracists, and a Karen screaming "Don't you dare spit at me!" at random bystanders (who weren't spitting at her).
