BBC4 is the biggest risk taker on TV running documentaries like the evolution of the transistor radio in Sweden that are actually awesome but on the face of it only appeal to 7 people globally all of which were involved in making the show.

It will suddenly become feminist if it gives them a chance to bash Muslims; then it will momentarily care about exploited workers and wage slavery to bash feminists. I don't even think that makes you safe now. The Mail has systematically shat on every perceivable profession by now. There's nothing you can do to not be hated by them.

To say they got sued because someone said mean things to him his oversimplifying to the point of dishonesty. They went to a conference in another country with the intent of disrupting that conference. They wanted to make a noise and raise about how lenient the sentence was, and they did, which I no doubt would too. They didn't just say mean things.

Eh, it's a pretty smart (but lovely) move.

It's not like Farage is the singularly most exciting prospect they could have picked, surely. Yeah, why would they pick someone who is constantly on the front pages and shows up on tv more than Stephen fry over a comedian who is only mentioned nowadays when journalists need an easy "isn't racism bad" story? It's a real head scratcher.

Generally young people are interested in politics and often have strong opinions about a lot of current affairs. Sometimes they're not quite developed because they lack the knowledge around the subject and not all political topics illicit strong responses, but the interest and beliefs are there and expressed by their mid teens. What they're generally not interested in is politicians or the political process. Source - my own experiences (I.e. Pulled from my arse)

This completed passed me by until I heard people were celebrating it was cancelled. He seems to be saying it was like the pub landlord where it was mocking the people who ended up liking it, but looking at the live show clip that looks a bit bollocks. Any thoughts? The beginning of the interview he doesn't come across in the best way though - "Do you think what you say promotes rape?" "We were really popular with a certain audience."

serious gaylord posted:Almost all push chairs fold up in some fashion so they can be transported in the car. Not doing this either means they've got a vintage buggy from the 1900's or they're just too lazy to do it because they've got half their house on the bottom tray. I wouldn't necessarily call it lazy; they could have easily just been to the supermarket or something and using the push chair to carry stuff. Or they might have loads of baby stuff in there - clothes, nappies, bottles. Folding up the push chair could mean holding lots of poo poo and then on top of that a squirmy unhappy baby. That being said, I think someone in a wheelchair should get priority, but it's not necessarily as simple as "just fold up the chair, dummy!"

Make it so bus companies have to arrange alternate transport (I.e. Taxi) for those requiring special access if there's insufficient room. Costly and a logistical nightmare, which would ensure busses are adequately prepared.

It's just how brazen of an abuse these apprenticeships are that's galling. One has "previous experience of working in an outbound calling sales role is desirable." How do they even pretend to justify that someone needs an apprenticeship if they already have experience doing the job?

Burqa King posted:Do you think a real apprenticeship should pay less? Yeah. They're educating you in the skills and knowledge required for the job and you get a qualification at the end of it. You're sacrificing some of your wage to pay for specialist training for a profession or trade. For the most part, you don't get paid to go to university.
