Regarding lockdown being over, I notice we are now (from the 4th) allowed to meet in groups of up to 30 for major life events, the example they give is weddings.

Do birthdays that divide nicely by decades count as 'major life events'?

I would be more angry with the landlords, not sure what the guinea pigs did wrong.

Wasn't Corbyn going to make it none of the landlord's business if tenants had pets?

My parents tenants have three dogs and dont pay any extra because when they lived there they always had dogs so didn't see the difference. But I think the tenants were really pleased to find anywhere at all that would have them so it is poo poo.

There’s an unwritten code that says we journalists should never sue because however offensive or defamatory criticism of our journalism may be, we hold free speech sacrosanct.

I don't really get how just because Kier has given loads of money to some people that means all other people that want money will now deserve it? Such that labour is bankrupt? Like why doesn't every labour member bring a small claims court claim against the Tories all at once?

Prince John posted:

I think the answer to that is that the Tory party didn't leak a dossier containing the personal information and potentially libelous statements of every Labour member, hence there is no real threat.

Our libel laws are notoriously poo poo and the burden of proof lies with the defendant rather than the plaintiff, so Labour will have to positively prove that all of the things in that document actually happened. Even if every word of it is 100% true, there's still every chance that some of it cannot be proved to be true in a court, hence the financial exposure. Even if they were confident of proving everything and winning the cases, fighting 40 libel cases could easily burn through millions, and there's no guarantee you get awarded costs at the end (I believe - IANAL).

Edit: Also, the current leadership has a vested interest in *not* proving the allegations to be true, because it undermines the whole antisemitism case against the Corbynites, which no doubt reduces their chance of winning even further.

So starmer did the right thing by settling? But now labours hosed anyway? Sorry, like you I'm not a lawyer, but I'm even further behind...

I'm fine leaving him be, I might not actually see him for a few days at a time. Him staying in his room and playing games for 16 hours straight I can sort of understand - it's just the messiness and the noise really. I love this house and had been living here for a year before he moved in so don't want to move out. I don't know. I've tried talking to him multiple times, leaving stuff be to see what happens naturally, tried to change my own perceptions or understanding. Only thing I haven't done is just act as obnoxiously as he does, but I don't really want to do that either as its rude.

Sheesh!

At least the countryside round here is nice. If I lived in a city I'd have probably cracked by now.

Is it just the two of you in the house and you have separate contracts and the agent/landlord just moved him in to a free room that a previous tenant vacated?

I'm kind of assuming that's the setup, in which case it might be a bit rubbish for you that you didn't get the ideal flatmate for you but not really much you can or should do?

He pleaded guilty to the assault but said he did it because he spilt his drink or whatever. Actually he had a poo poo load of white power anti LGBT poo poo in his house, prior violence convictions, identified Jones prior to the assault and jumped him. It was a hate crime.

Any recommendations on car insurance providers? I'm with quotemehappy and they're okay, wouldn't mind it a bit cheaper. Am in South Wales if that helps.

Also my Internet with plusnet went down 6hrs ago and their customer support team went home 20 minutes before it happened, as its the Rhondda during lockdown there is nothing else to do. RIP.

My Fudge did arrive though so time to munch!

I literally have no idea. I hope this helps.

Just change every year and do it a month before its due. Have a poo poo car.

I've been on swiftcover for longer than I should have been cos theyre taking the piss now but I quite like their online account (that maybe others do now) where I can alter the policy myself without having to ring up and faff about and take an admin fee hit. Like for instance, you seem only really to be able to have 4 people on a policy and I have some cars that I find it useful to swap around the drivers between parents and siblings partners and kids and stuff depending on whats happening. But maybe thats a very unusual requirement. Also I like that it gives me thrid party coverage on other's vehicles.

apparently telling them youre a hotelier is the cheapest job to have. But dont lie.

There was some youngish lad walked into budgens without a mask. His mate was in there already with a mask on but it pulled it down to chat to him.

There was an obnoxious lady in tesco without one whom I'm sure had raised her volume levels in an attempt to draw attention to her lack of mask in the hopes she could get in an argument about it. Her boyfriend was silently following her around wearing his mask.

These were aberrations, everyone else seemed to have them on.

if youre suing the labour party right now its presumably because you consider your personal reputation to have been damaged?

But, ignoring journalists(who are meant to be independent and surely shouldnt care about political attacks on themselves) they are ex labour people

who are angered theyve been accused of damaging the labour party

so theyre going to sue it into oblivion?

kind of destroying their entire defence in the first place?

Definitely. His whole plan is to just wait for the combined economic catastrofuck of Brexit and Covid-19 to break the Tory vote, then win by default. Announcing any policy or doing more than the bare minimum of opposition would get in the way of that.

The most depressing thing is it might actually work. But there's nothing about it that speaks to his personal ability as a politician. Labour polls go up purely as a function of Tory polls going down. It loving sucks.

Posts like these are a little bit... suffering from a loss of perspective? The most depressing thing for me about an equally evil and inept tory government's handling of brexit and covid isn't that it improves some polling numbers for a boring recycled labour leader I don't like.

I wouldn't fancy the airports or a plane at the moment. There's someone in this thread currently in France having driven there I think?

My brother just did the same. Tunnel over, ferry back from st malo. He sent pictures of the ferry and it was deserted, didn't feel like it was any more risky than a trip to Tesco's really. He benefited from staying with family and friends. I dunno what you really do when you get to wherever you're going on holiday though, like do you go to the pub or museums or whatever?

From what I understand places at home are getting booked up and expensive as people decide to avoid going abroad but i guess there might be cheap last minute deals to Spain now... Technically you can drive there if you can afford to isolate after.

A ‘Public Duties Cost Allowance’ exists “to assist former Prime Ministers with the costs of continuing to fulfil duties associated with their previous position in public life.”

The allowance, worth £148,500, is technically available for a lifetime.

Cabinet Office minister Ben Gummer admitted last year that former Tory PM Sir John Major was still banking the benefit 20 years after leaving office.

Oh and Trump has delayed the election!
