Well, it's the reason they haven't taken away such powers as councils have left, anyway. Our governments don't generally give up actual control of things to elected councils, only to quangos they appoint (or private companies, obviously).

Sad slug-like lumps (Keir Starmer?!) with a surprisingly strong, almost artificial, strawberry scent. E: Just Another Lurker posted:edit: Just how thick is that blade? About 2.5mm! It’s pretty heavy.

I drove past a waitrose in jesmond a while back, meant to go in as it's the first time I've ever seen one. Turns out there's like a 50 mile exclusion zone around middlesbrough where there aren't any lol. I like to imagine that they're held at bay by the presence of boyes.

I heard on the local radio that if councillors don't agree on revised budgets (i.e. horrendous cuts) when the councils are bankrupt, they as individuals become personally liable for the debt. At a certain point there is nothing left to cut that isn't going to kill people. One of the bankrupt councils near where I live has announced a 100% budget cut to one of the local theatres, right at a time when people are spending less on nights out. But I absolutely understand why, when the alternative is something cut the fire service or something.

This is from 2015 but still applies as far as I know: https://www.bevanbrittan.com/insights/articles/2015/thepoliticsofsettingthebudget/ quote:The politics of setting the Budget Ludicrous. This is probably what all those people egging 'lefty' councils not to agree a slashed budget don't realize, councillors could be held personally liable at some point.

domhal posted:Its cool how insulated central government are from these issues at a glance. Just irresponsible councils who don't know how to balance their budgets, overspend on diversity initiatives and invested poorly. They should have been more sensible. Nothing to do the Westminster or the chancellor. Croydon deserved it after burning £500m on dodgy property investments, Labour council or not.

I listened to the Mark & Carrie podcast last night. For those who don't know, Mark Blyth is the guy who wrote some pretty breaking stuff on austerity and the greek crisis and other stuff, as economists goes he's pretty left-ish. Anyway he does mention here how Labour winning with Starmer is set to be the largest wasted opportunity ever, since it looks like a labour majority and they're just gonna go welp we can't do nuthin, no magic money tree. But apparently there are ways to get lots more money and they're just giving money to the banks right now, around 23:30 britain talk starts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZTdVReQEFI

You say that as if it's going to be news to anyone in this thread. It's always nice to hear an economist say it though. Pre-edit: whoa they changed the quote blocks in the awful app, so weird

I bet if you renamed 'disestablishmentarianism' to 'privatizing the CofE' you could get the tories to support it in an instant, it's pretty funny that one of the few Crown enterprises they haven't scrapped or sold off is the one that allows a bunch of old men to wander around the upper house scuppering all their plans.

Slandering someone who goes to Oxford is just a bad idea, they might have some nonzero amount of money. You have to target people who can't afford lawyers, then you can say whatever bullshit you like. then maybe sue them if they insult you back. this is basic uk 101 stuff

My friend from school went to an open day at Oxford and her main takeaway was that being black at that uni would be the worst experience of her life. She avoided Oxbridge altogether after that. Went to Brum like me.
