You gotta hand it to the Nazi PMC, they know how to properly settle a labour dispute.

Send a flying column of hardened killers with tanks to the capital and suddenly you employers agree to negotiate.

And what will the cost be in terms of increased accidents, crime etc?

In my close they turned off all but one of our streetlights since last winter and it is pitch black except when it is full moon.

The oldies in my block are terrified to go out after 4pm (in winter) especially the ones who use walkers in case they trip over let alone the mad axe murderers waiting in the dark for a granny to attack.

I even messaged the council and asked if they could put the street light near the flats on instead of the one that is on (our flats are the only homes in the block. The light they've left on is at the back of a pub backing on to our close.)

it's insane and i suspect there was been zilch by way of impact assessment, especially given they're planning to implement this in the middle of winter

i say run up a debt and gently caress it, Westminster can pay it

i mean if they really do this you will literally be able to see how hosed up a situation this is from space

I'm going to be ever so slightly sceptical of any poll that suggests the Tories will have more MSPs than they have MPs. Seems like the stuff of fantasies (or in this case nightmares. Kieth's Red Tories with a majority that big is a grim prospect)

both leaders have the “the more the public see of them the more they dislike them” energy so let’s see!

I have very rarely read the Canary (I always found its reporting a bit hysterical) but I was a bit surprised at the latest article re Corbyn that appeared on my twitter feed.

I might be misremembering, but wasn't there some serious allegations of misconduct by the directors of the company (I think it was something about them claiming there was only a £1 difference in hourly wage between directors and journalists, but then paying themselves huge dividends in secret) that led to the Canary being reorganised as a Worker's Co-op?

God drat him, but reading https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/1672888910739824641?s=20 pissed me off.

"Hold their nerve"...this phrase only makes sense in terms of stocks and investments, not bloody rents and mortgages!

I know there was that "just don't pay" movement in terms of energy bills: I would 100% get behind a popular movement to stop paying mortgages & rents until they provide a proper workable solution to help people pay their bills & get through this crisis.

Making it so that people have LESS money in their pockets right now is a flabbergastingly idiotic approach.

It's hard to know whether it's worse to have the government be:
1) a bunch of Tories who think they're competent and push through lots of legislation; or
2) a bunch of Tories who know they're out of their depth and don't bother doing anything except legislating culture wars


It is funny that Truss's name is getting dragged out again. She might be the only Tory MP who still wants to be Prime Minister at the moment (I'm including Sunak in that), because everyone else has enough functioning brain cells to spot that the challice is made of mercury and filled with liquid arsenic.

She already hosed it once, it's not like she'll be any worse off if she does it again.

Not looking to derail but was it this UK thread where there was a fella posting about being prescribed medical cannabis a couple months back? Got an appointment with a clinic next week and would be helpful to ask someone who's already been through the process.

Edit: Actually, looks like there's someone in the other thread I can ask about it. Nothing to see here.
