She's obviously betting that the future of the Tory party lies in reaction and culture war rather than any attempt to re-establish the party as a reliable defender of business interests and 'government as usual'.

The tory party seems like they'll probably go for it as well. Glad we have a strong, principled labour leader that won't let them drag political discourse even further down

Can one of you NI goons tell me why there are no ticket machines at any of the stations and you have to queue up to buy one from an actual person? I've nearly missed my train quite a few times now because I forgot about that and saw the line was packed as I arrived five mins before I was due to depart.

Any time I have to use the bus/train in NI I buy the tickets beforehand using the app. Before that existed my local station was unstaffed so I bought tickets on the train.

Same. I had my jabs last night, and they gave me the newer covid jab. I live in a postcode with lots of rich retired people, so that might factor into it somehow. In other news, I feel like poo poo and my arms hurt. 10/10 would stab again.

For good reason. lmao. It's great, as it now puts Wootton directly under the spotlight, which could mean that his own sexual assault/abuse allegations will get a wider airing. And the implications for GBNews could/should be huge, but sadly OFCOM is pretty neutered these days... but lol and lmao over everything nonetheless

Been 30 years since I used a train regular in NI, so my details on how they work may not be upro date. And it was only manned one end.
I think its because there's no way to keep ticket machines running without being smashed to poo poo within 24 hours.
And with students getting travel cards for price discounts, machines wouldn't recognize them, or fake cards.
So its cheaper to have a single person on the city end to issue and check them.

Fair enough but mainland UK manages it OK and I don't think our ne'er do wells are any less feral than NI's, so ???

Whenever something seems backwards and self-stifling I tend to assume the DUP are the root cause. Probably thought ticket machines were too similar to catholicism or something.

Don't be like me and hide from your bank balance, check it everyday even if you know its in the red.

Move all of your direct debits / standing orders to one day, preferably your payday (or equivalent) so you make sure that these are paid and you don't factor them into spending.

Do shopping in bulk, get a delivery of tins, pulses pasta etc. Enough for the month (or two month if you can manage).

Anything left over put in savings, even if it's just a few quid. Get in the habit. (I actually used an app called Chip which forced me to stay aware of daily spending and bank all excess funds every week, it really helped turn around bad habits).

Repeat for the rest of the year.

I get why he feels betrayed. They hire you to be a sneering provocateur on far-right TV who runs his mouth off against socially acceptable targets, and then you stray a little too far into fullblown Incel Corner against a journalist and suddenly they fire you.

If he understood why even GB News might not want to be associated with his comments he wouldn't be here in the first place; he's like an attack-dog that doesn't understand why it's getting shot in the head for mauling one of the farmer's chickens.

It is deeply on brand for liberals to make excuses for fascists.

It has been unsurprising but still infuriating reading this poo poo, "oh they just wanted to defend their homeland, they only fought against the Soviets".

The Wikipedia page on the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division is something too, there's an Atrocities section but it starts "Although the Waffen-SS as a whole was declared to be a criminal organization at the Nuremberg Trials, the Galician Division has not specifically been found guilty of any war crimes by any war tribunal or commission."

Followed by more apologia, and then you get whiplash from the next paragraph: "The division did destroy several Polish communities in western Ukraine during the winter and spring of 1944" before going into details.

But it's par for the course, western diplomacy is littered with examples of us working with the worst of the worst, just look at Nagorno Karabakh now, Azerbaijan is our all as a quarter of the populace have already left for Armenia

Oh hey, I'm a business analyst. In theory it means that you are someone who captures business requirements in order to relay them to IT development teams so they can create and test code.

In practice, these days, it kinda just means someone who can sit in a vaguely IT related role and get stuff done.

I wouldn't really categorise it as secretarial, other than you have to do things like book meetings and coordinate people's diaries from time to time.

Cook from scratch and cook in bulk.
My wife started bulk making her lunches and has saved a lot of money not having to buy stuff from the hospital cafeteria.

Switch to a bank that allows budgeting in app. I personally rate Monzo. I can put stuff away in instant access pots to seperate it and see breakdowns of my spending. It will notify me if I am spending more than usual in a particular category.

I would do this, but my (hopefully soon to be) Mrs cannot really deal with frozen and defrosted food. Autism and sensory issues, that kind of thing.

We are being more sensible and only eating out rarely, and making sure that we cook healthy stuff for evening meals and lunches.
