Mark Francois on Victoria Derbyshire displaying the kind of argument the press could easily win but refuse to do so:

VD: Do you regret using the language of �Herr Juncker in the bunker? Some call it inflammatory�
MF: John McDonnell said he wanted to lynch Esther McVey

Extremely normal country where football clubs are doing jobs that the local or state government ought to be doing but have abrogated their responsibilities.

Pay are footer boys soldiers pay etc.

Also the obvious lie in the response is that Corbyn attested that Ashley puts his business interests before the livelihood of the club and his response was centred entirely on his personal interest, ignoring the likelihood that all of Newcastle�s commercial revenue is likely on a 95/5 split between Sports Direct and the club.

I got this in an e-mail from a recruiter

I have no idea what 'Non-Functional Testing' is, what are NFRs? What is any of this?. I'm not saying I won't do the job, it's �375 a day. I just hope that people won't die. But I'm pretty sure this guy has not looked at my profile.

Also saw Joker tonight, it's pretty decent. We finally see the death of Bruce Wayne's parents.

From context Non-Functional Requirements, but it looks like they�re looking for someone to build out a testing criteria and run tests against it for a good chunk of change per day.

Andrew Neil publishes fash and complains that as chairman of a political paper he has no influence on the editor, so cannot be called complicit in it being a bootlicking fantasy wankmag.

There has been some great and visceral writing on the subject of the American Plantation tour industry and how they are now sanitised monuments to a time within living memory, and Downton Abbey has a similar effect (though the horrors of the antebellum south are obviously far and away worse).

I've heard similar before but I can't get my head around the idea that it's a cynical dig at Star Trek, which is incredibly goofy but is something I've always loved. YMMV on an episode by episode basis but Trek's heart is in the right place.

Never actually seen The Orville since it seems to be only available on Sky.

It�s Galaxy Quest level digs and has sympathetic and actually good plots and representation.

Best sci-fi at the moment-

Hard scifi-noir - The Expanse
Optimist space fables - The Orville
Goofy sci-fi western - Outlaws

John Oliver made a bigger deal of Johnson breaking his 'dead in a ditch' promise than the BBC did today, and managed to throw in a line about him showing that 'big ditch energy' to boot.

He also went in hard at Ellen in a way I think will get him a lot of poo poo

if you're building it yourself, pcpartpicker and google shopping for comparison, logicalincrements for specs (though it - and every other guide on the internet - skews a bit gamer-y).

as an aside, you might not wanna buy a PC in 2019! for most people it's better to spend the cash on a high-end laptop and a good monitor. USB-C does power/display/accessories in a single cable nowadays, and unless you're looking to CRANK UP THEM GRAPHICS most people have no need for the extra heat dissipation that's fundamentally the only reason to prefer a tower to a laptop.

If you�re going that route why not get a pi3 and be done with it?

Looks like that Grenfell report is throwing the fire brigade under the bus instead of, you, the actual fuckers who primed an event like that to happen through callous negligence, and purposeful malice.

The Telegraph breaking the embargo to lead the conversation and narrative, the report might not single out the LFB to any extent

because the user experience of a consumer laptop is designed for normal people who don't wanna janitor a naked pcb

But they were asking for parts, which is a sign they�ve got some competency doing the janitor bit, and outside of a expensive laptop build or second hand bargain, you�re trading a lot of expandability for mobility concerns that weren�t mentioned?

An old uni friend is currently challenging my assertion on twitter that young people are less likely to vote Tory and seems genuinely surprised that it's actually backed by data.

Additionally anyone in the greater London area who wants to come help in Watford (key marginal, 16% swing to Labour last time ~2000 votes in it and our incumbent is stepping down) PM me and I can give dates for canvassing when I know them. You can also be from outside the greater London area I guess ...

I had to show someone at work who is middlingly pro leave and Tory (we had to pay a mortgage at 15% interest and all the other bootstraps bullshit) the yougov poll about the elderly hoping Brexit would make their children destitute. Wouldn�t believe it.

That helicopter was over my house for 2 hours from 4am. In related news my wife insists that I wear a fancy dress outfit for a party on Thursday so I have suggested I go as a chimney with a doll hanging off my hat.

Any other suggestions? I fancy going as Marx with a massive fake beard. Truly terrifying for the yummy crowd we will be mingling with.

Didn�t the poor bloke die? Seems harsh.

If by �we� you mean Momentum, then it�s actually me who�s running the investigation. And the stuff in this thread about Best for Britain is better than most of the stuff we�ve got so far (I don�t want to slag anyone off, everyone�s volunteering and trying their best). So if anyone wants to summarise what�s found in this thread (I don�t understand what the code stuff is about), I�ll make sure it goes to the right people.

Rather than go through the website individually, the code has scraped the answers available at once to summarise it quickly. The last table posted clearly shows that the site has been biased against Labour, and is as much a Tory tool as Sajid Javid.
