I'm going to be line managing some people soon as part of my changing role. Does anyone have any recommendations of a book I can read to support my ability to not be complete oval office in the process of doing this? It's a clinical role within the NHS, if that matters.

After being shown into one of the cubicles a nurse comes in with a gown in one hand and a piss cup in the other. I look at the nurse, look at my date, look at the nurse again and take the robe and piss cup and immediately want the earth to swallow me up If you'd said she was your sister, they'd probably just have gone through the cardiac arrest questions

I had to pop out this morning and had Radio 4 on in the car. Will Self was bloviating on in his Point of View about the fact that as a 'society' we've essentially decided that culture has a market value, and that if it has no market value, it isn't culture. He tied this to neoliberal policies and had a few digs at poor people (because it's Will Self), but I thought it was mildly interesting for 8:50 on a Sunday morning.

I was unfortunate enough to be sat on a train in front of two prime shitheads this afternoon who insisted on talking for the duration of the journey. They were racist, sexist, financially illiterate and lacking entirely in self-awareness. They started by talking about immigrants and one of them had a spiel about illegal Romanian immigrants and their apparently massively lucrative begging rings that mean even the lower-ranked members earn more than he does. (Oh, and the UK's full, apparently. And it's the fault of immigrants that there are no homes for anyone). This got the other one talking about illegal immigrants as well, and with no apparent trace of irony he moved from whining about them coming over and then not integrating into society, to complaining about his wife who was previously here illegally ("that's why I had to do all that paperwork"), who has now decided to call her child (his step-son) by an anglicised version of his name. These people are allowed to vote  And sort your coving and decking out as well, apparently

If Corbyn can stop no-Deal Brexit from happening, it utterly fucks the Lib Dems. That's why they won't back him. While Swinson has probably been hoping that she can negotiate some pathetic scraps with the Tories - visas for travel to the EU will only be £100 pp - and sell it as a rip-roaring success (like their bag tax vs benefit cuts triumph). The extent of Lib Dem ambition is to be the junior partner in another coalition with the Tories.

Sanitary Naptime posted:Yeah that’s p much right on the money. They’re making themselves seem a bigger deal than they really are. The Lib Dems are using the fact that the media hate Labour to try to seem like an integral part of the political machine. When they're actually more of a vestigial tail. Their ideal scenario is that a vote for a caretaker government led by Corbyn fails, because Labour MPs hate Corbyn, while a vote for a caretaker government led by someone Swinson supports fails by an order of magnitude more because there's no consensus among Westminster parties and isn't that just so sad?

You don't need nuclear winter at that point because anyone not living within walking distance of a source of food and potable water (that will have drastically reduced - and radioactive - productivity) is dead within a month. There's no "back to normal" from that - at best we have to start again from the Agricultural Revolution, at worst we're at the early Iron Age. Yeah, but it'll be worth it to reclaim our sovereignty from the EU, innit

Ms Adequate posted:Well, if you think about it, having a Corbyn-led caretaker government for a few months while we get an extension and GE going is far worse than crashing out without a deal, with terrible planning, and all under a completely berserk Tory government. On the plus side, with Johnson planning straight-up evil things like changing the State Pension age to 75 and the Lib Dems using basically all of their media coverage to tell people that they won't back the most realistic chance of stopping a No Deal Brexit, it's good news for Labour's vote share at the next GE.

There's a piece on BBC News about how Brexit will impact on farming, and jfc these farmers are living proof that we should just allow 100% re-wilding outside London. A thicker bunch of cunts you'd be hard-pressed to find. Voted for Brexit, whine that they'll be left out of pocket and then demand that the government reimburses them for their future losses.

I remember when I was younger (either 16 or 18, because it was while I was out of school 'studying' for GCSEs or A-Levels) either BBC2 or Channel 4 showed a different version of Hamlet each day for a week. I'm reasonably sure I watched the Olivier one, and then the Mel Gibson one but they definitely showed others, too. (The Mel Gibson one at least gets unintended bonus points for now being dissed in a lovely Gruff Rhys song.)

quote:Who the hell even is Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson? His appearance in the show is a mere cameo played for three episodes, all of which are set in the early 20th century. His role is limited to making the news out of nothing more than a handshake, but it's definitely not in any way an attempt to get attention. He's not even a real person. It's just a bunch of "real" people having fun. Just a few actors making out with each other while the rest of the cast keeps their composure. As if all of that weren't enough, you have to think the casting director is looking for something much more important from the show this season.

Petitions and protests are meaningless when you've got megalomaniacs in charge. The only way you get their attention is by doing things that affect them or their political/financial backers personally. Riots, basically, in nice parts of the country. Johnson won't give the slightest poo poo if Tottenham burns to the ground again, but move West a little and start burning Muswell Hill, and suddenly a lot of journalists start asking the government awkward questions like "How are you going to stop this with the smallest police force and army in modern history?"

Johnson has spent his entire life wanting to be Prime Minister, so I doubt he'd throw the job away for the chance to make some money, particularly when he's perfectly capable of earning a shitload more by exploiting his inbred posh friends. He'll totally go full-dictator if it's the only way to cling on to power, though.
