I watched In the Loop for the first time in a while last night and it kinda feels like a beautiful fantasy nowadays. Malcolm and Jamie are definitely boyfriends

That dress was no coincidence. Liz Truss micromanages everything about her appearance. In a way, her instagram feed is all she cares about. She's been blatantly copying Thatcher, so why not dress as a TV fascist when going full fascist? Thatcher never managed to get this far... e: I'd never heard of Years and Years before the other day, and now have it downloaded. fuctifino fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Oct 6, 2022 |

Fascism is mostly about the aesthetic anyway, the rest is just incoherent babble and violence. If you already have a surfeit of the incoherent babble it's the next logical step.

Also, talk a little bit slower than you usually would from the start, it'll give you more time to think and also make you less likely to trip over words and make mistakes.

The baddies entire evil regime is brought down by footage of the camps being released to the press and a horrified public, which... I mean they were doing all of this in plain sight anyway, there is literally no reason it would be a shock to the public. plus it's the British public so in all likelihood the response would be "Good, they should 'ang 'em an' all, serve 'em right."

If anyone had read the Guardian article they'd know Liz Truss already owned the fash dress before Years and Years even came out so if anything they took inspiration from her

I've got an interview on Tuesday for a job I nearly forgot to apply for and did in a panic on Sunday night at about 10:30. Internal, similar work to what I'm already doing but the next pay grade up. Could really do with the money, so fingers crossed! Good luck to all other interviewing goons, seems like there's something in the water (and that something is widespread panic at the cost of living)

I'm not interviewing, but I've been in my new role at work for a few months and they haven't yet updated my job title or pay, so this weekend my CV is getting dusted up so that next week I can say "no, really, please adjust my pay by month's end or I'm looking for other work". They need someone in the job and they've got someone working on the pay and progression structure for the entire team because it's relatively new and they're genuinely trying to invest in it... But while that's happening I'm getting forgotten about and it's clear that they aren't going to do anything unless I take charge, so here we are.

Is anyone able to help me understand UK tax codes? Basically, I started a new job in June but I just checked my account and my pay since I started was considerably lower than I expected (I have my banking/bills automated so forget to check that stuff). It turns out my tax code has been changed and I'm on SD1X now instead of S1235L (which I was on at my last company). From a bit of basic Googling and from what I'm seeing, it means I'm not on whatever the pro-rata tax system is and 41% of all of my income is being taxed now. That's got to be a mistake right? The company I now work for is part of a Global business which has offices in Scotland (where I live) however my "official" office is in England i work remotely. I also had to register for self-assessment due to claiming childcare benefits earlier in the year so dunno if that might have led to the change. I'm all for paying taxes, but this really doesn't seem right.

Sounds like this, although the code doesn't match. https://www.gov.uk/tax-codes/emergency-tax-codes If you change jobs and the revenue man doesn't get his information in time, they put you on emergency tax just to be sure you're not underpaying.

That happened to one of my co-workers, speak to HMRC about it and they should help sort it out and give you a rebate, eventually.

Kin posted:Is anyone able to help me understand UK tax codes? The code you’re on is one that applies to a second job. I.e. you have one job that pays over the higher rate tax threshold then get another one from a second employer, so all income from that second job is subject to higher rate tax. Most likely error I think is that your previous employer didn’t submit a leaving date for you. Your current employer can’t do anything about this - they just get told your code by HMRC. You’re best off calling HMRC and they will likely be able to correct their records over the phone and you’ll get a refund in your next salary payment.

Thanks for the reassurance. My new job has been pretty full-on since I started so I've not had a chance to follow up with my last company, but it looks like I can't even find a P45 from them on irispay or in my emails. Is it likely that's the reason this has happened (they've basically not submitted it?) edit: Aha, yup, sounds like that might be it.
