RLB has formally announced her candidacy for leadership, and this article is fire - https://tribunemag.co.uk/2020/01/rebecca-long-bailey-labour-leadership-socialism Choice quotes - quote:For some, there will be a temptation to compromise on our anti-racist and internationalist principles. Let me be clear: as leader I will never throw migrants or BAME communities under the bus. Never again will our party put ‘controls on immigration’ on a mug. It would be a betrayal of our principles, and of our core supporters and activists. We must defeat Johnson and the nationalist right, never pander to them. quote:We’ve also, at times, been too close to the establishment we are meant to be taking on – whether cosying up to Rupert Murdoch, joining forces with David Cameron in the Better Together campaign in 2014 or turning our focus inwards on parliamentary manoeuvring for the last year.

Smeef posted:Are there any rumors on what's going to happen with DFID? After the election there were some articles suggesting it would be merged into FCO, but I haven't seen anything since then. DEFRA, the Environment Agency, and Natural England were all merged years ago, and let me tell you they're only getting round to integrating systems now, and have barely started on processes. They won't announce the merger until they've done sufficient groundwork with the top level civil servants on where they want to take the merged department.

Communist Thoughts posted:Glad to see we're blaming the assholes who are responsible for our devastating loss. That's right Ed Miliband!! Votes for Labour in 2015 - 9.3 million Votes for Labour in 2019 - 10.2 million The reason the Tories got power is because people like what they're saying, but a lot of that is around Brexit, and because Boris managed to make his campaign one where he somehow didn't come across as the incumbent.

feedmegin posted:You realise the US has the draft. I had to sign up for it when I moved there. Volunteering to pick up a gun, sure, but that's not necessarily what's going to happen. Also, the main places they do get volunteers from are towns in the arse end of the states with a whole lot of nothing in them, of kids looking for a way out of those places, to get a college education. It's the time old thing of depriving a community of any jobs, then hoovering up the desperate by offering them pay and travel, except oops you're killing brown people and we won't home you after you get PTSD

https://twitter.com/AngelaRayner/status/1215637479614795777 Rayner is really cleaning up on nominations for Deputy. And anyone asking in the replies "Hey, can you maybe ask anyone else looking to nominate you to nominate Dawn or Burgon now you have three times the number needed?" is being blocked, which is a poor look.

https://twitter.com/sundersays/status/1215996243509465090 Starmer is running under average for BAME support here, but not by much, whereas Philips has 22 nominations, without a single one being from a BAME colleague. Similarly - https://twitter.com/sundersays/status/1215997799533285381?s=20 Murray without a single BAME nom from his 30. Allin-Khan running low on BAMe noms is odd, but maybe they're focused on the left, given Burgon and Butler have a lot of support here.

I believe they've already said that the world in The Watch is "inspired by" Pratchetts works. I like the look of the armoured guys, and whilst Sybil isn't how I'd imagined her (in terms of build not race) I'm open to seeing how the show is. It's never going to be a direct copy of the books, it needs to be able to be its own thing, and making that clear from the word go is a good idea, even if it is a little jarring for dedicated readers at first, seeing characters they feel like they know as different. Also nobody can beat Charles Dance for a casting of Vetinari, so inevitably they couldn't do a pitch perfect casting even if that's the direction they'd taken.

Miftan posted:I don't understand the open selection thing. Its just getting rid of the trigger ballot vote which should go in your favour if you have the numbers to beat the incumbent anyway, no? It's much easier to run a "hey, vote for me, not the other guy" campaign if you don't first have to do a "hey, this guy is pretty poo poo, how about we boot him", whilst the incumbent has access to the full constituency Labour party details, and you have poo poo all.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Most are still so completely cowed by sergeant-majors screaming at them in induction that they'll salute anybody saluting them in any kind of even vaguely military headgear (and given the long and ridiculous tradition of British military headgear this can mean anything from a yarmulke to a Marie Antoinette six-foot beehive wig). I have a WW2 RAF Greatcoat, like capt Jack Harkness, though I guess that depends how much they value the other forces.

thebardyspoon posted:I've worked as a tester and then a test lead on videogames, Xbox One, mobile stuff and PC (from this you can probably guess what company I was working for). Had a very short contract role where I worked testing websites and such as well as general support cause there wasn't that much testing that needed doing all the time. Then worked on Bixby for a while as a lead test engineer for Samsung and when that ended I just went back into videogames again because they phoned me up and offered me a job when I needed one and hadn't had any bites for a a couple months. That's focusing mostly on mobile and PC. So I guess my skills are like, testing of most varieties at this point (certification, manual, telemetry and a bunch of other stuff) except for automation stuff, test planning and estimation of deadlines and application of resources and such, mentoring people and the like. Good knowledge of all the various technologies one would need to do those jobs and a hefty tolerance for bullshit. Lots of other stuff I hope cause that seems thin for a career summary but it's pretty late and been knackered this week so not too switched on. We're not videogames, but I'd imagine testing is transferrable skills. I'll take a look and see if our London office is looking for someone in that area. Edit: nope sorry, none of the London technical teams are hiring just now. mehall fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Jan 30, 2020 |
