reckon the ehrc will be investigating endemic racism in the Tory party any time soon?

I think they already said they were perfectly happy to accept the Tories' promise to investigate themselves and left it at that.

The committee that needs to sign off release hasn't actually been set up since Boris took over the party.

So Boris can't be hosed to stop tossing off long enough to do the briefing on the day the "official" death toll hits 40k, then Hancock stands there saying R is between 0 .7 and 0.9 with all areas under 1, while the news is saying it's between 0.7 and 1 with north west just over 1. Amazing.

Q: Do you want the transition to be extended?

Starmer says the government says it can get a deal. Labour will hold them to that.

Q: Sadiq Khan says there should be an extension.

Starmer repeats the point about holding the government to account. It is important to avoid no deal.

Q: So if we were facing no deal, you would extend?

Starmer says Labour lost the election. It cannot decide this now.

As someone pointed out, the thing being talked about in that thread is not a gotcha. Hermione is AFAB, and doing something to make her body male does not change the fact that she is female. If anything it's proof Rowling was a TERF all along.

(And in reality, that whole tweet thread exists because people who refuse to read another book are analysing a story written for children from the perspective of adults. It's not a good tweet.)

True, but the idea that identity is linked to physical expression (has vagina = woman) has always been one of JKR's arguements hasn't it? And this thread points out that in this section that's not at all what happens, Hermione is still "she" no matter what her physical form?

e: i agree on the Harry Potter readers, this seemed more trying to use JKR's own words against her, which i'm all in favour of if it works.

10% was overstating, that's fair.

What percent IS acceptable for a loving holiday? .05? .5? 1? 2?

There is a pandemic. It has not stopped, because the government has decided we can all be sacrificed on the altar of the economy.

So please.

Don't go on loving holiday. It is that simple.

If we ALL just. stopped. and stayed at home, continuously, only leaving for critical things which are required for us or someone else to not die, for three to four weeks, there would likely no longer BE a pandemic on, and we could ALL leave the house again. Like New Zealand did.

If everyone keeps going to the pub, going on holiday, going to Alton Towers, getting their loving tenner off food on a monday in august... there will probably be a pandemic on for several more months, and whilst that's amazingly freeing for me in trying out new clothing options, I'd like to actually start going to events outside my loving office at some point in the next year, please. And EVERY trip matters. Every trip knocks on. Every trip exposes tens or hundreds of people, who in turn expose tens or hundreds more people, and so forth. And the people who ARE infected, won't KNOW they hosed up until it's a fortnight too late.

So no, I'm not going to let up. Don't go to the pub. Don't go on holiday. Don't go to a restaurant. Go shopping, for food and medicine, go to work to earn money to eat and stay off the street (and ideally, don't even do that, work from home if it's even slightly possible), and otherwise, stay the gently caress at home.

Because my wife and I would like to leave our house at some point in the next year without risking her dying of a preventable illness.

Life is risk. Some risks are avoidable. This is one of them. Avoid it.

From yesterday but this is a good post. As a shielder, the more people return to their normal lives the longer i can't.

To go back to Depp and Heard, if those tapes exist why isn't the Depp defence (offence? Not sure who is suing who) just a looped play of them?

You can literally find videos on youtube playing clips of them. They're tapes Heard made.

Thanks, the impression I got from comments in this thread was that there were reports of the tapes existing but they weren't out there so I didn't go looking. Given they are easily available in the public domain, I come back to my question of why his plan isn't just to play them looped over and over.

The Question IRL posted:

It would be a much longer post to explain in full but I'll give a brief breakdown.

Johnny Depp is suing the Su for Defamation. To do so he needs to establish certain elements (that the material was defamatory. That the Sun published this material. These are the easy enough ones to prove and aren't going to be contentious, but his team still have to prove them.)
The harder part is proving that they aren't true. And for that they have to hammer it home. Not just that Johnny didn't assault Amber, but that he's not a Wife Beater at all. Now you could just argue he never beat his wife (Amber) and he was only married to one woman (Amber) ergo it can't be true.

But if the court took "wife beater" as being a generic term for a domestic abuser, you do have to go to a wider range and put forward that Johnny is not now nor ever has been abusive to domestice partners.
And that's going to be a wider fight that the Sun is hoping it can tough out by finding some mud on Johnny and using that as a justification for it's headline to save itself.

Thanks, that makes sense.

If anyone wants to get angry, watch the BBC 2 interview at approx 11 or so with the lady from the Jewish Voice of Labour. They obviously got her on to support their narrative of the labour court case today (Corbyn = antisemite, Labour now fixed under Keir) and when she says the opposite the interviewer talks over her repeatedly then shuts her the gently caress down

I wonder if that's anything to do with the interview last week on the BBC where the JVfL lady kept being talked over and was finally cut off by the newsreader because she wasn't toeing the BBC line that Labour paying off the high court case drew a line under the issue and that anti-semitism was fixed.

Don't forget as well that most people do not understand anything deeper economically than 'he made pints cheaper.' He could sell every man, woman & child in the country into indentured servitude, and as long as the process is too complicated for the Sun to print, all anyone will remember is the cheap booze.

He didn't even make pints cheaper, really. He made food cheaper, and Homeless Thundercat has instead used that to drop the price of his booze.

Got to say i'm really loving it being too risky to open bowling alleys and casinos as planned tomorrow, but it's a-o-loving-k to go ahead and unshield people.

Had anyone around here bought under shared ownership or Help to Buy? I've been moving to get a shared ownership flat, but that ended up getting delayed and now I have more deposit money. I'm going to do discuss buying a later share this week with the financial advisors, but I feel like it's going to be better to start over and get somewhere on Help to Buy and get that cheap loan, rather than deal with landlords both taking rent and being a nuisance if I sell.

Everything I've heard about shared ownership sounds like the absolute worst of all worlds.

Thanks friends, all very helpful stuff. Fairly sure there isn't a smart meter here, but I'll reset the home spot just before I go to bed and then see if it's sluggish when I wake up (it's usually first thing). I'll also try to figure out how to get into the adapter - is it possible over ethernet? Or I suppose I need to go through the router, maybe.

I wish there was another option, but I'm not sure there is. My folks basically said 'please sort out the wifi' when I came home, so that's my mission. I was originally thinking of a wifi mesh, but the room the router is in is like a faraday cage, so actually getting the internet out of that room in the first place seems insurmountable by anything other than, well, a powerline adapter. The current one is an older BT model that was tempermental enough that my folks pulled it out and just lumped it with the lovely wifi coverage, but I plugged it in when I first got back and it miraculously worked perfectly (other than the speed issues).

Have you ruled out the internet connection itself being flakey at that time of day and it not being connected to the Powerline at all? How long has it been since you tried wifi? Current mesh setups are orders of magnitude better than they were only a few years ago, so it might be worth trying one and sending it back if it's no good. I have a Tenda MW5G setup and think it's the bee's knees.
