Also worth pointing out that Fosters family farm would be well inside a 5 mile or 10 mile NI side buffer zone so she'd be well cross either way

nobody tell DExEU this yet just in case this is in fact what they're proposing and they manage to release a statement before someone looks at a map. That is, if they have in fact ever looked or will ever look at a map, which I'm questioning also

I and my colleagues are feeling unappreciated at work. People are complaining about not seeing any progress with the switchover to a new energy M&T system. They do not understand that this sort of project work is like an iceberg - nine tenths of it is out of sight, and it's loving titanic.

The one high point of David Davis insane NI scheme is that it means that we can tell that he's had enough free time recently to watch the BBC adaption of The City and The City that aired earlier this year.

No-one understands the scale of these projects because they're total dipshits, which is also exactly why people think leaving the EU is a trivial nothingness.

I initially misread that as "alt-right messaging", and wondered if they had been marketing ethnic cleansing soap, or skin-lightening cream or something.

Odd marketing, but neat if they keep it up - I'm sure the gammons will find an alternative for their luxury soap providers:

I bought some soap from Lush as a gift once, and the whole experience was just awful. Way too many staff who won't leave you the gently caress alone to buy outrageously overpriced soap in peace.

Also, of all the things in the world where being handmade isn't even remotely interesting or useful, soap is right up there.

Disgraceful to bring this up when Police died for your sins I will never use soap again. :bahgawd:

What happened to the idea of police just being members of the public paid full time to exercise the vigilance incumbent upon us all, rather than supercitizens who need more powers and less accountability otherwise every crime will happen everywhere?

If wonder how I'd cope if something like that happened to me. You know the people who formed relationships and had kids with undercover cops. I feel like that's a thing that could make me snap and kill someone. I'd definitely never trust anyone again.

Just reading the wiki page, they seem to be kinda into activism - so I imagine they're not super fond of the idea of cops infiltrating activist circles. Hell, the owners could have known people who turned out to be infiltrators.

I'm surprised you all don't know already, but Lush have been funneling money to left campaigns for years. I know they do special hampers with a percentage of the money going to animal rights charities, and at least one hunt sab I knew said that they were getting drowned in cash donated via Lush, to the point that when one of their sabbing 4x4's got totalled they had a brand new one a week later.
I don't know the ins and outs of the logistics or have any details about their own working practices or internal Correctness, but it's funny af to me that the bath bomb company is funding hunt saboteurs and pissing off the gammons.

I was always pretty jealous tbh cause antifa are always clawing down the back of the sofa to buy basic poo poo like burners since George Soros went bankrupt and stopped funding us.
