On the BBC note from earlier in the day, Amol Rajan has a column for the BBC where he idly muses on - among other things - the potential for Pigfucker to become the next Chairman of the BBC. Because the last couple of appointments have been Tory stooges. He also acknowledges that the new stooge appointed to be Director-General is also a Tory, but massively downplays the fact, saying merely that the person who could fire him at a moment's notice had a "minor" role. Thanks, BBC Media Editor Amol Rajan. Incisive commentary. In the words of your article "abolish the TV license".

Guavanaut posted:I think you'll find we're actually doing quite reasonably compared to the era when you could literally indenture people and voting was restricted to five landlords and a pig. I think there's enough evidence to suggest that renters are, in fact, indentured. They pay so much in rent in many places that there's no option but to keep renting (unless they can get a heap of money from somewhere). Where the end result is that they stay poor, and their landlords get very wealthy indeed.

I've said it before, Neil Coyle is almost certainly the "Labour MP" who spent the entirety of 2017/18/19 slagging Corbyn off in the Evening Standard. He's also enough of a oval office to strap his baby into a harness for a photo op before he went out canvassing in 2017. Yeah, he's basically the same level of oval office as Boris Johnson.

It's notable that the BBC's coverage of the restrictions is almost clinical in how little they comment on things. Even Laura "I suck Boris' balls" Kuenssberg's column steers well clear of editorialising. Which, admittedly, isn't surprising since the only two possible editorial lines are 1) The British people are loving idiots for going out and socialising; or 2) The UK Govt is loving stupid for telling people it's okay to go out and socialise

I got 4 hours sleep last night, so I was looking forward to having a little nap on the train home. Except two Irish kids got on and played a 'game' that involved each of them seeing how loudly they dared shout a random word in the carriage. Then they got off and a man got on and sat opposite me with his mask nowhere near his mouth or nose and proceeded to have a shouted argument with someone on his phone - something about "the bottle" - for the remainder of the train journey home. Oh, and despite the news about curbs to daily lives yesterday, there were fewer people wearing masks than I've seen the last couple of days. gently caress this stupid loving country.

Maybe it comes from having grown up in London, but I rarely feel the need to actually press a button at lights unless 'directly on the other side of the road' is where I want to go. Normally, I'll just walk down the road a bit in the direction I want to go and try to stay aware in case a good time to cross appears. I appreciate not everyone's able to do that, though. Yeah, and gently caress try-hard cyclists who get pissed off if a pedestrian dares cross their line of sight.

With the number of people getting on increasingly crowded trains without wearing masks, I doubt it'll be long before Nodnol gets hit hard. Bonus points to the bored shitless police officer texting on his phone rather than actually paying any attention to the people coming into the Tube station on my way home. Bravo, shitwit.

Dogatron posted:I find this in my job as a nurse. The three year training seems to filter out the laziest and workshy. The profession I work in (within the NHS) doesn't pay particularly well given the high level of knowledge required, so I personally work under the assumption that if someone's willing to do the job, they're either interested in the work on an intellectual level or they're committed to helping the service users. Either way, my job as a manager is to leave them the gently caress alone if everything's going well and be available to help if things aren't going well. Remote working has made things more difficult, but I'd still be a massive jobsworth if I didn't allow the people in my team a certain amount of leeway to have an unproductive day, or take a longer-than-usual lunch break.

A bunch of thumbpeople racists waiting until Sadiq Khan walks out of City Hall to call him a oval office and shout at him, when it's Boris and the Tories (who most black cab drivers will cheerfully vote for) who've put in place the policies they oppose? They hate him because he's Labour and because he's muslim. Saying it's because of "some specific grievance" is laughable

It was probably just you being super woke but simultaneously doing an unfunny little ableist quip, that's extremely common, but if you were asking sincerely there's an answer. My point was that - even by your usual standards - you've been an aggressive oval office the last couple of months. There's a bunch of posters in this thread who are open about having mental health needs; maybe you're one of the silent ones, maybe you don't have mental health needs and just feel like being a oval office more often than usual of late.

OwlFancier posted:Starmer's posturing is also predicated on the government somehow not being able to get it through on their own majority which I would be surprised about. It's all about decorum. Starmer's team clearly can't imagine that Boris wouldn't give his MPs the freedom to vote on their own principles (lol), or say to them: "Vote for me or I'll withdraw the whip and make sure none of the companies you work for get lucrative contracts". The Tories have got a large majority, so they can afford to cut a few rebels loose if it'll force the rest to get in line. And between the fascists and the corrupts, there are still plenty who'll back him whatever he does.

Dogatron posted:If socio economic conditions get worse, I imagine a there is a huge recruitment pool of young people that could be influenced by a few bitter old men. Yeah. I guess the question is: who's in charge of those groups at the moment, how likely are they to be able to take advantage of economic conditions to be able to recruit people to their groups (i.e. how lucrative does smuggling to the mainland become) and how much effort does Westminster put into trying to keep an eye on what's going on. If there's civil disorder elsewhere in the country, I can see MI5 getting tasked with identifying everyone nicking stationery from Smiths or setting fire to roundabouts in Chipping Norton, to the exclusion of other domestic matters.

justcola posted:A friend of mine is against burqa's because he finds them oppressive. I am for them because people should be able to wear what they want, as what we wear stems from culture. Although on a deeper level I am against all traditions and identities and people should be able to be whatever they want. The working view* I get from talking to muslim colleagues is that the intersection between cultural and religious factors is just really messy. There's definitely some women dressing the way they do because of pressure from people around them (probably family), but it's a minority. To add to what Jaeluni said, I've had colleagues (and service users) who've changed the way they dress after completing Hajj - I'm told the spiritual element of the pilgrimage can have a profound impact on how someone interacts with their faith; this might mean that they start wearing a veil, or that they go from having their head uncovered to wearing a hijab. I've also seen plenty of girls (primary-school aged) who wear a hijab because it's what all the women around them in their community wear. That skeeves some people out, given some of the religious reasons for 'covering up', but I don't personally care. * - I've worked in an area with a substantial muslim population for 7 years and my understanding is growing all the time. I know enough to help new starters with a range of basic questions, but I still find myself asking muslim colleagues about things from time to time. Which they're usually happy to answer.

CoolCab posted:mask use has actually skyrocketed in the past few weeks on public transportation in my observation. not only did everyone wear them, everyone wore them properly and on one occasion everyone staring at someone who had a peeking nose caused her to address it. My experience over the last couple of weeks is that probably 50% of people are actually bothering to wear a mask properly on public transport. I'd say around 25% don't wear a mask at all and 25% have it covering their mouth but not their nose.

Bobby Deluxe posted:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-...ab-global-en-GB I was thinking about a variation of this earlier today: that wearing a face mask properly will also give some protection from seasonal flu, since the typical strain usually has a preferred 'up the nose' temperature that it multiplies at. Wearing a mask and bathing your face in blistering mouth air all day is likely to raise the temperature of your nose somewhat, which will interfere with whatever process a virus multiplies by, which I can't remember because it's been a loooong time since GCSE Biology. It won't do anything for the shitwits who keep their masks below their nose, which is a bonus, frankly.

I have to give my DBS details to any school I visit - well, if they remember to ask, and most of them do these days - and generally if you're visiting enough that the staff recognise you on sight, someone's going to notice if your name isn't on the Safeguarding log. Really, the issue is that Academies are a law unto themselves in many ways. And the conflicts of interest that crop up all the loving time whenever anyone starts really digging through the way they spend or make their money would be a massive red flag if 'getting rich' wasn't the whole point of the exercise.
