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.

Corbs is still a Member of the Privy Council, since it's an appointment for life and he was made a member as LOTO. Same goes for Diane Abbott as (former) Shadow Home Secretary. As I understand it the accession council is meant to be a full meeting of the Privy Council plus the various religious, judicial and military representatives, so JC was probably entitled to be there. But there are over 700 members, a good chunk of whom are based in Commonwealth countries and in any case not all of them could fit into the state rooms at the palace. So it's probably a curated list of invites for 'senior' members (ministers, former PMs, current LOTO and DLOTO and so on). But then I spotted Peter Mandleson in the crowd, so who knows on what grounds he was chosen!

Who do you think the other people in the room are then? Harold Wilson? Andrew Bonar Law?

Alex Salmond, Pat McFadden, Alistair Carmichael, Peter Mandelson are all Privy Council members. I hadn't realised Desmond Swayne was, apparently purely for being David Cameron's PPS. drat, the bar is pretty loving low

Watching YouTube
You don’t need a TV Licence to watch videos or clips on demand on YouTube.

But you DO need a TV Licence if you watch TV programmes live on YouTube. An example of this would be watching Sky News live. But it isn’t just live news or sport which needs a licence – it’s any programme which is part of a TV channel, broadcast or transmitted for everyone to watch at the same time.

Dactylitis from psoriatic arthritis, according to a reddit thread, but that doesn't seem consistent with a quick image search - it's too consistent across every joint. Same with edema. Even gout, it's very unusual to see the swelling so consistent across both hands.

Also in Finland they apparently have a type of sausage called prinssinakki which translates to something like 'prince fingers' or 'prince jacket' in the sense of a thick covering.

You can get fairly widespread dactylis but I would be surprised if he did have psoriatic arthritis specifically as well - there are plenty of pretty effective treatments for it and I would expect the Crown Prince to be doped to the gills since unchecked psoriatic arthritis melts your joints.

this sounded so unbelievably stupid that I had to go and double check but it appears to be true.

The Guardian posted:

The government confirmed the day would work in the same way as other bank holidays, and that there would be no statutory entitlement to time off, with employers able to include it as part of a worker’s leave entitlement.

Pretty much up to your employer if they include it in your leave allowance or give it to you as a benny. My current employer (and the NHS) gives bank holidays, but until recently my current employer split gave half the bank holidays and the other half were in your leave allowance if you were a newbie (i.e. a starting employee got 24 days + bank holidays, which brought us up to the statuatory 28 days + the extra BHs). Now everyone gets 30 days + BH regardless of length of time at the company, which is quite nice.

We get to decide whether or not we take BHs but I get the same amount of work to do regardless, so it's not really any different from any other day except everything runs on funny hours.

I'm curious if I should have one if I watch TV for genuine technical reasons during WFH for a major broadcaster - I expect they definitely have a business license and nobody said anything (&they also offer tv/isp to us for free, which I don't use because I don't want them looking at my Internet use) but it does make me a bit nervous. Maybe I should ask, but not sure who.

e: Also I'm afraid the answer at lower management levels would be "are we not paying you enough" and result only in manager annoyance, but they definitely either have a business licence or are exempt somehow.
