Rachel Reeves announcing to the City that Labour are full-on adopting Thatcherism as economic policy, Jesus Christ. :gonk:

It's weird, my memory of the Eighties under Thatcherism was that it was a period of massive unemployment, hugely increased inequality and boiling anger at a cruel and callous government. But I guess I was wrong and it was a time of rising boats for all!

Isn’t Thatcherism something that only works if you’ve got a shitload of North Sea oil, council houses, nationalised utilities and infrastructures to hand that you can sell off for pennies on the pound?

I’m not sure if Rachel Reeves has been to the U.K. lately, but we, uh, don’t have much of those left any more.

So by "removing the blockages constraining our productive capacity, and fashioning a new economic settlement, drawing on evolutions in economic thought" she means rejoining the Single Market, introducing UBI and embracing Modern Monetary Theory, right?

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.

Reminds me that some scientists in China have proposed a novel means of sex development that is not dependent on chromosomes in body cells at all.

quote:

Chinese scientists are proposing a new theory that suggests the formation of male or female features is based on chromosomes in reproductive cells, rather than body cells.
The prevailing theory of sex determination is that the chromosome composition of our body cells, being either XY or XX, determines whether we develop male or female traits.

However that theory could not explain one patient’s case, leading researchers from the Reproductive and Genetic Hospital of Citic-Xiangya to rethink the hypothesis.

All those terves going on about XX/XY and large mobile gundams and adult featherless bipeds are even wronger than at present, and they're plenty wrong enough for everyone.

Fucks sake. I really hope you can get some kind of resolution to this mess.

I still don't 'get' what the appeal of that poo poo is. Not in a rational beep boop way, I know they have some of the worst cunts on earth designing traps for human brains, but as someone who misspent my youth in pool halls putting money down on some of the stupidest poo poo on earth I have never seen the appeal of the online fruits. Completely lacking the social aspect of yelling at hot wheels cars going down an incline and along a bar.

Obviously it does work on some people though otherwise the dirty pricks wouldn't put so much effort into making them.

Even if you still haven't reconciled with separating from your wife, I don't think you have any choice but to go the full legal route, your hand has absolutely been forced here and you should preemptively try to absolve yourself of any guilt

I'm so sorry you're going through this.

If you haven't already, you really need to speak to the police NOW. You need to report the fraud, then you can put a freeze on your credit so she can't do any more damage, then you can start disputing the debts.

If she's signed anything in your name she is in serious poo poo.

Nowadays they use all sorts of psychological tricks to keep you playing. Down to the lights and sounds, the way the wins come in and how the winds are displayed.

I appreciate what the gambling commission put in place to make online gambling less appealing, but there is still a way to go.

Something to note, crypto casino's have been getting more popular recently. May want to check to see if there have been any payments going towards crypto.
