It's almost as if THEY NEVER FIXED THE loving PROBLEMS EVERY CUNTING YEAR YOU DISGUSTING LITTLE CREEP. Going "Oh every time it rains they ask for more money to fix the holes in the roof" isn't the own you think it is when you categorically refuse to FIX THE loving ROOF!

Looking for "more cash" when inflation is running 10%. Truly sickening

Dog poo poo post in amongst a few contenders. From what I read she had breast reduction surgery for health and comfort reasons. I dunno enough about it but that sounds like something you shouldn't be taking the piss out of.

I honestly thought the thread would take the piss out of her for the blatant Thatcher quote and her weird legs-apart pose that mimics the Tory power stance (which also mimics a Liz Truss photoshoot). I am disappoint.

Jess Phillips isn't here, but we do have people here who probably hear unpleasant jokes about looking like men directed at them more often than they'd like. So once again, I am asking you not to do that. There are plenty of more unpleasant things you can say about Jess Phillips without hitting other people with the shrapnel.

No, but perhaps you’d like to reflect on how your touchy-feely, respect everyone’s feelings regardless of who they are and what they’ve done hippy bollocks has achieved absolutely nothing good in the last 13 years.

Imo you can insult people's physical appearance all you like (I mean just look at Boris Johnson and Michael Gove ffs), just avoid stuff which is problematic. It can be a tricky line to walk though, I guess.

Sure. But make sure the one thing you do do is, when called on it, start yelling about hippies and parasites and how utterly contemptible everyone is.

It's got nothing to do with Jess Philips, who is a contemptible, self-obsessed turd who reflects the spiritual & moral decay of the Labour Party. It's not her who is going to read this transphobic LOL YOU LOOK LIKE A MAN shite. Post better. There's plenty to criticise her for without going for the longest of hanging fruit.

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.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/dec/10/wes-streeting-nhs-uses-winter-crisis-excuse-more-money-labour

quote:

Speaking on a visit to Singapore, Wes Streeting said the health service needs to accept “money is tight”, and that it must rethink how the care it provides could provide better value for money for the taxpayer.

quote:

“I don’t think it’s good enough that the NHS uses every winter crisis and every challenge it faces as an excuse to ask for more money.”

quote:

He added: “The NHS is going to have to get used to the fact that money is tight and it’s going to have to get used to switching spend, and rethinking where and how care is delivered to deliver better outcomes for patients and better value for taxpayers’ money. At the moment, I think we get the worst of all worlds, which is poor outcomes alongside poor value for taxpayers.

Nothing really new here but the language is very specific: the NHS is being presented as an organisation separate from the government that may or may not be doing a good job and has to respect government financial constraints. Perhaps like the BBC, the NHS is not to be thought of as a government provision belonging to the British people, but a third party that the government merely oversees, and that the health secretary chastises whenever blame needs to be deflected.

Maybe it was never true but it is now explicit in messaging as well that the NHS is not run by the government. The NHS is run by a bunch of people that Wes thinks moan too much and don't represent value for money.

One might imagine that the job of a health secretary would be, ultimately, to run and take responsibility for the NHS. The management of the NHS is done by NHS managers and they can be blamed instead of government for declining services. If only the NHS wasn't so wasteful.

They teach that dumb stuff to senior managers in big companies. At the bank I work for, all the middle management and above went on courses where some consultancy firm came in and showed them appropriate power stances, gave them actual training in how to give firm handshakes and important sounding ways to use buzzwords and say poo poo to staff in meetings, and all sorts of bullshit like that. The last batch of them to do it were during the summer and we could see them outside in the office grounds, standing in two lines facing each other and practicing handshakes and powerstancing.

I'm feeling a distinct lack of Christmas spirit in the thread today. Is everyone hungover and grumpy from their office parties?

I'm playing the new Rogue Trader game and it's surprisingly great fun to play a grasping, arrogant Gilded Age-style robber baron, buccaneering across the galaxy and putting down below-decks revolts with indiscriminate slaughter.
