Labour in Scotland

jesus christ every time I hear about the state of scottish labour I figure well at least they've hit rock bottom now, and then something new comes along. is their plan to become so godawful that they cause an integer underflow in the malfunctioning matrix computers producing this godawful hellworld and wrap around to being good again

The Guardian is indistinguisable from the Daily Mail at this point when it comes to trans issues. Good loving lord.

As a trans person I was worried for a bit that a woman's place was a transphobic hate group, but now this cis lady has told me that they aren't so that's fine. everything is fine

If you're talking about Neale Hanvey, he did not do any holocaust denialism. As far as antisemitism goes the cartoon Hanvey shared is very very mild, and if the investigation concluded that he didnt mean it and is genuinely apologetic, that's fine. They still dropped him in the middle of an election and it could have cost them the seat.

So he's merely a transphobe then, grand

Just had a management meeting, looked like we were going to instruct full working from home (software company) and then the Financial Director said unless we could, there and then, tell him where a 20% revenue boost was coming from to cover what he expects we'd lose he would veto it. We could not, and so he did. Company policy now is to use paper towels rather than hand towels, and all meeting rooms are to have at least one window open while in use. That'll do, I'm sure.

is this post in a secret code because you don't want to reveal you work for hm government and your "financial director" is actually boris johnson. blink three times if maybe

Sanford posted:

No he said this won't happen. He's heard that it's an estimated 20% of the workforce over a six month period which is only a couple of people a week. I started to correct his understanding of those figures and he said (in front of the full management team) "LOOK IF YOU WANT TO WORK FROM HOME SO BADLY WE CAN ARRANGE THAT AND PROBABLY HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT IMPACT THAT HAS ON YOUR REMUNERATION AT THE SAME TIME" so I dropped it and the discussion ended. He's definitely a person who knows above all else that number must go up, and he has had the opportunity to learn that consequences are something that happens to other people, not him.

I'd say make sure to get everyone in the office to touch their face and put their hands all over the surfaces in his office but it'd only result in him infecting a series of vulnerable elderly people when he spits at them for being in his way on the street or something

I would really like to be in a position where I could take faith in this kind of appeal to authority and decorum, but the general tone in this piece of "please stop being rude and just wait and see if people die before questioning your well meaning appointed betters too strongly, citizen" is a tad vexing. not to mention maybe not the best strategy given recent evidence in how public opinion is swayed?

also they're still being poo poo on basic things like just saying "companies should help everyone who can work remotely to do so", which is free, not particularly economically harmful, not something people are likely to be "fatigued" by and which they could have done weeks ago

see if everyone starts working from home at once then there will be a sudden mass dip in productivity as everyone takes a few weeks to gets past the wanking stage. we need to have it carefully staggered so as to keep the economy afloat

okay so things in reality are bad but have you considered this vital piece of important good news, that last night i had a nice dream where I met Boris Johnson at a party and got to call him a loving rear end in a top hat, so that's nice. I assume Morpheus, King Of Dreams, Prince Of Stories has a guy whose full-time job it is to be Boris Johnson and have everyone yell at him. seems like a good gig

What kind of polling is it when you systematically kill off everyone who voted one way until you achieve the result you want?

on the one hand, the disabled will be affected, so that's key labour demographics right there, but on the other hand it'll do a number on the olds so really they're being very bipartisan and centrist in their disregard for human life. very decorous
