Bloomberg did at least apologize to New Yorkers for wasting their time and money on stop and search, after later mayors scrapped it and crime went down. That makes him marginally better than any UK Home Secretary.

The flaw in this meme is the assumption that government would be honest, and the right wing chuds (who likely would stand to benefit from policies like this) would mindlessly parrot it all the way to the poorhouse.

As we already know from the response to the recent small-scale UBI trial here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JdpNRp1T1-0 Also great example of 'balanced journalism' - "Here to talk about the controversial subject of UBI we have someone who has made a career out of studying the concep and analysing other implementations of it through history and someone who was on The Apprentice!"

Private Speech posted:I dunno this doesn't seem the worst, overcomplicated sure but I could live with it. Depends how stiff the penalties are, if any, for the left side. Where I work, it's very similar, except it's all done in an app in a couple of clicks, whereas at Greggs, it is said, it's all paper forms filled-in by hand.

If I were selected to participate in a UBI pilot programme, I'd work super hard to skew the results and make it look more effective than it actually is in hopes that it becomes a reality, and then I never have to work again. Now, assuming everyone is exactly like me, we can conclude that despite the data, UBI is a sham and will only encourage people to be lazy.

I still think the fingers are a strange thing to make fun of because it just looks like fluid retention because of heart failure or something. Not particularly uncommon in old people. My grandmother had the same thing, and I had a friend who had it too. You see it fairly often in people out and about in the fingers and especially around the ankles.

We mock him because he's old and one of the most powerful people on the planet. Is there anything more quintessentially British than punching up and down at the same time?

It's also that he's one of the wealthiest humans on the planet with an insane array of medical science at his beck and call who could absolutely stop it if he wanted to. This is not like a normal person being told to eat better and exercise more, he has the money and influence to hire a dozen experts and chefs to sort those things out for him. He could spend 10 minutes a day in a private gym made entirely for him, and have a team of chefs slap a plate of healthy food on the table afterwards and this would all go away. But instead he bangs on about homeopathy and crystals and eats grouse four times a day. Bobby Deluxe fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Mar 20, 2024 |

Cimber posted:Oh yeah, how is that Brexit thing working out for you folks? Have you noticed a real effect on your personal lives because of it? Oh yes. Brilliant. If I want to go and stay with my brother in France for a couple of weeks, I now have to have a letter of invitation from him and also he is supposed to go to the local mayor's office to get some sort of permission slip and hand over a quantity of euros. He says no one bothers with it but knowing my luck if I don't have it, I'll get asked for it at Beziers airport and deported ignominiously back to the UK not being the sort of dame who can bat her eyelids at a border guard & be let through. (Same like the covid bits & pieces, no one checked them at the airport but if I didn't have it, I would have got checked). Also have to have proof of having something like 32.5 Euros per day and travel / health insurance. None of this was necessary last time I went 2 years ago. This is why I don't cry for those Brexit voters living in the EU who are complaining because they have to leave after 90 days and can't go back for another 90 days because they didn't bother to register properly in the relevant country and have completely shagged the rest of us from this first-world-problems perspective. Also an artist friend did a commission for someone in the EU - £6000. Came to send it to the person & the customs charged would have been another 1000 Euros on the top! At the end of the day, she and the recipient agreed for her just to post it normal post & put some very low value on it, but if it got confiscated friend would not accept any liability for that. (Narrator: reader, it arrived unscathed.) Of course brexiteer acquaintance said she'd just had an artwork from an EU country (£100) and no problems, no customs charge etc, but that is because (a) value much lower and (b) UK had not at that point put the rules in place which it was supposed to have but has now. Another friend who was running a specialist food shop had a lot of business with the EU but lost almost all of it because neither he nor the recipients in the EU could cope with the paperwork. He's now closed down. Not everyone has whole departments set up for this milarkey and also a lot of people can't make head or tail of the paperwork in any case.

It's a committee of backbench Conservative MPs who decide who represents the Tories in Parliament as Party Leader. Conspiracy theory smoke filled backrooms made reality in short.

Why is it called "the 1922 Commission "? Like wasn't that the year that Ireland officially left the UK? Great year for Conservatives one would imagine.
