I was offline for a whole weekend pratting around in a field hitting people with foam swords, it was delightful. How hosed are we now?

Yo who is going to a protest this evening? I've just finished a nice sign comparing Johnson and Trump to Hitler. It's dry wipe I plan to change it to something comparing prorogation to striking.

I'm still pretty dubious that we can get a GE through. But we might get another short delay request maybe? Anyone know if the EU is likely to tell us to go gently caress ourselves if we do?

I'd be pretty surprised if anyone else has inflicted this many defeats, and certainly this is the first time in more than 120 years that a first bill has been defeated if that post from probably 3 pages back is right.

Yeah, it's probably worth noting that the annual budget of my (admittedly the largest) local wildlife trust is about 6 million. There are 46, and they're a drop in the bucket of the various environmental protection charities, the RSPB alone is bigger than all of them IIRC. They just seem to be making up numbers.

Once he saw that the opportunity was there for him to get into power on an insular, xenophobic Leave-at-any-cost platform, he grabbed it with both hands. Who even knows what his actual opinion on the EU is - I doubt he even does himself. If he cares at all, he only cares in that he can earn money off the firesale of british assets and/or hide his tax dealings somehow.

Arglebargle III posted:I was explaining the latest hilarious developments in the Brexit farce, but it occurred to me as I was explaining it that these politicians keep running everything into the ground for fear of losing their jobs. But everyone who has tried to Brexit has lost their job! So what the hell? In a lot of cases, particularly all the various cowards, traitors, quitters, etc, they know they can't stand up to an actual election, so it really doesn't matter what they do as long as it doesn't trigger an election, so they can gently caress up as royally as they want as long as it's in the service of them not getting handed their arses by people they thought cared who they were, instead of what rosette they wore.

Yeah, it's not as simple as 'I rent to someone else so I can pay rent myself due to my itinerant lifestyle' because a: presumably that job pays you enough money that you can afford to pay rent ANYWAY, so, why are you sponging off your tenants? And b: your tenants are funding your property's price increases so you don't have to. You're not going to find much sympathy for landlords ITT.

freddiestarfish posted:My landlord owns 2 houses and rents me the second at a fraction of the market rate. I currently don't earn enough to pay a mortgage so can use this cheap house to save up. Is he bad? He's probably less bad than the average landlord, but he's still bad. To wit: Why, after you pay him significant amounts of money to live there, do you continue not to own the house, and he pockets the cash?

He could put you on a rent to buy arrangement, or just give it to you outright, or sell it to you for a cheap enough rate that you could afford a mortgage. WHy does he get to do a little better, when you don't? He has no need for a second house, you have need for a first. Why the inequality?

Yeah, commercial landlords are one of the reasons we don't have independent businesses any more, because they charge such exorbitant rates that only fellow exploitative shitbags can afford them.
