bitmap posted:had a great chat eight pints deep with my wifes uncle who has lived his whole life in sligo about mountbatten being a notorious kiddy fiddler because of this thread and he was incredulous but, whoops, look who's in the news I made a big effortpost years back about this in I think the Epstein thread. My granddad was in the B Specials - the paramilitary wing of the RUC who were the police service in Northern Ireland up to the late 90s, and later became a senior officer in the RUC proper. He had a tonne of info around the Kincora boys' home being used as a honey trap for senior members of the Tory party, all covered up and protected by the RUC Special Branch and MI5. His career ended not long after he tried to tell what he knew to the mainstream media. No regrets, he was a oval office of man. There's a whole string of Tory politicians making "humanitarian" trips to boys homes in Northern Ireland during the height of the Troubles, when any public appearance there would have been considered an unacceptable security risk.

i am harry posted:scotland sounds loving wicked am i wrong? It's wrong. The long winter nights are probably pretty grim if you aren't used to them. Personally I like that I can go star gazing at half four in winter. It's nice not having to pay for my prescription though, & uni being free is positive compared to down south, but being less lovely than England is a low bar.

i am harry posted:scotland sounds loving wicked am i wrong? It's not perfect, but we're probably an example of what happens when you're not being run by a Government that wants to turbofuck everyone and everything in the name of racist gammons. The SNP have always leaned on the social democracy side of governance and have done a good job of concentrating on making Scotland a nice place to live in. The pros are:
The cons are:

On the one hand it's fun to watch the tories abjectly humiliate themselves, but on the other hand allowing government policy to be dictated by watching whether the line goes up or down like the audience on Play Your Cards Right feels really very bad and not something to be cheered on

Jose posted:Oh good lol a few months ago british gas had an “emergency “ fixed rate for people who dropped onto the variable rate, which was obviously more expensive but fixed for the year i joined up back then, and just got an email saying you know what the current cap means that you’re technically over paying so click here to go back to variable please the difference is 20 quid annually (primarily due to the standing charge being slightly dearer), so i haven’t clicked because i just don’t trust these fuckers to u turn on energy costs

Hope they both lose to some dreary Sheffield machine politician who has been a councillor for their entire life, just the emptiest suit
