Absolute scenes yesterday, can't wait for PMQs. BTW I caught some of the scenes and I swear Boris was speaking directly to Corbyn instead of to the speaker about Corbyn, was noticeably ruffled

The bullshit idea that no deal is somehow a clean break and closure to the Brexit process seems to have taken root quite widely.

Haven't heard of this before: Help to Save https://www.gov.uk/get-help-savings-low-income That's an amazing return on investment: 50% a year  The jist is that if you're a poor you can get £1200 over 4 years if you can squirrel away £50 a month, or you can squirrel away less but get less in the end (still 50% though) - all savings backed by the government. Seems like a pretty good redistributionist policy to me.There is a slight catch though - if you and a partner both have one and collectively exceed £6k, whoops you're no longer eligible for universal credit. But that's a flaw (one of many) with universal credit rather than this scheme, which seems like a very good idea to me

A Buttery Pastry posted:Wilhelm Stift caused WW1 by investing in the company that build the car Franz Ferdinand rode in on his final day. I like to think the Butterfly Effect requires a butterfly to be part of the explanation (like in that pratchett puzzle game discussed not long ago). For any given event (after butterflies evolved) there must be a butterfly at some point in history which, if the butterfly did something differently, would have altered the event beyond recognition. Obviously many such butterflies exist for any event but there must be a last one, a final butterfly who possessed the last chance to alter that event (the event's butterfly), and a window of time between that chance and the event occurring (the event's butterfly window). So in the case of WW1's butterfly we'd have to find the butterfly nearest to the Latin Bridge at the time of Franz Ferdinand's assassination, which decided not to fly at full speed to get into Gavrilo's eye distracting him at the last second to cause him to miss.
