Some councils say they don’t take soil because it makes the bin too heavy, however our council doesn’t stipulate it being restricted.

If I can’t put it in the brown bin, what am I supposed to do with my soil?

use a toilet like the rest of us

Thought thread consensus was that signing petitions was a performative waste of time, how is this different?

so is that a yes or a no

To be clear, you're talking about the Labour Campaign for Trans Rights pledges that Starmer didn't sign, and not the LGBT+ Labour (who claim to be Labour's official LGBT+ affiliate) pledges that he did sign?

I'd probably sign both, while wondering why we need two, but I also sign petitions so...

ok, cheers

keir starmer always looks vaguely frightened and concerned, like a man he's assumed to be homeless has just asked if he knows where he can catch a bus

Never accused anyone of voting for him, but this thread hiveminded nastily against any idea of respecting the referendum result so how is this not the exact result you wanted? Awsome lefty manifesto + respecting the referendum = historically unprecedented swing to the good, Awesome lefty manifesto + making GBS threads on the referendum result= getting historically owned.

who the gently caress are you arguing with

There's one very good reason a Corbyn won't happen again and it's that he only happened last time because a load of idiots in the PLP who didn't actually want him to win nominated him "to broaden the debate". They'll remember what happens when you do that now.

Yes and no, respectively. The work isn't something that takes a lot of verbal back-and-forth either, so working with a colleague on the opposite side of the globe takes fairly little extra effort.
My point was that in my knowledge based industry where the balance of power already lies with the employee, the experience of a lockdown is going to open opportunities for a change in the relationship between employer and employee which further goes in favour of many employees.
Having been a union member during market conditions that were dire enough for that relationship to briefly invert, the scale of the crisis was so great that the union's collective bargaining power was moot.
I'm not down t' pit wi' t' lads, so a traditional marxist reading of the situation doesn't yield useful conclusions. Postcapitalism is an interesting book which tries to explore how it can, incidentally.

To torture that metaphor of yours, it's not a house without a roof so much as a hotel without a roof. You keep your bags packed, you nick the towels, you make sure you have an umbrella and a good idea how to build at least a shack of your own. In the event of a downpour that makes all that preparation useless, even buildings with roofs are hosed.

but not everyone in the hotel has the ability to leave and go on a little camping trip when it rains, that's the point

I know it's The S*n and gently caress that rag, but there aren't going to be any pubs if they're all locked down til Xmas, there's a ton of independents struggling to make it til July because landlords/business rates are screwing them right over.

there's going to be a load of properties going for cheap that are perfect for use as a pub, you say?

I'm sure it's a completely coincidental and unintended consequence of this policy that arch-brexiteer and Tory donor Tim Martin is suddenly about to have a lot less competition

A lot of people in the pub industry are worried that this is going to wipe out free houses. The concern is that they don't have the reserves or support to survive this, and the large pubcos with the cash reserves or credit facilities to do so are going to rush in and buy the lot at firesale prices.

anyone know how to check how many tory MPs have shares in major pubcos

Alastair Campbell suggesting (quite gently at this point) that Starmer stop flapping around ineffectively on the sidelines and start providing a proper opposition:

It's telling that, from the other side of Labour opinion, he's come to the same initial conclusions about Starmer as the Ukmt.
