You see, when michael gove collects books by holocaust deniers, it's not antisemitic, becaus he isn't an antisemite. When left wing people do basically anything, it's antisemitic, because they're antisemites.

So the 'new style' JSA says that because I've worked and paid national insurance for over 3 years, I'm entitled to 6 months of JSA. It mentions nothing about meetings / job coaching. I'm I understanding right that they'll leave me alone to try and get a new job for six months, before I have to do those soul crushing interviews?

I signed up when everything went :catdrugs: they said normally they do that stuff but they don't have time now so just keep looking for jobs :shrug:.
I've not heard anything from them since I signed on.

Is it just me or has the use of the word 'forensic' in conjunction with the word 'Starmer' reduced in the last week or so?

I'm sure there's a tool of some sort you can use to see how often a word was used on the internet over a given period of time but I can't remember what it was and Prof Google hasn't helped me.

It's Google Trends.

I can't belive it, boris lied :monocle:

quote:

The government has privately conceded there will be checks on goods crossing the Irish sea post Brexit, months after Boris Johnson insisted there would be no such trade barriers.

The checks were part of the deal struck by Johnson with the EU last October.

However, to the astonishment of the EU, he spent the election campaign in December telling businesses there would be no checks. If they were asked to fill in any paperwork they could call him up and he would tell them to throw it in the bin.

Nobody's ever won a war by just saying "Yeah but your mum" though.

There are always casualties in war. If there weren't it wouldn't be war; just be a rather nasty argument with lots of pushing and shoving.

e: if there where 166 covid deaths per second the government would still end the lockdown.
