Venomous posted:This has nothing to do with anything, but Starmer is loving awful, isn't he This is very true. He's the inevitable consequence of being so desperate to win that you end up creating the most bloodless, spineless non-entity, perfectly focus grouped to offend nobody, failing to notice that he also appeals to nobody. Bobby Deluxe posted:Stamp duty is suspended and there are a ton of available properties, so it's a really good time to buy. We're looking to buy our first place at the moment which is great, what is less great is that the sister in law can't afford a full half mortgagr which is limiting our search, what's even less good is that the wife has started looking at properties in Swindon. But if there's lots of available properties shouldn't prices go down? Something about supply & demand & Economics 101. Failing to pop the property bubble 20 years ago in its relatively early stages might actually be the biggest whiff of the New Labour years. Massive generational transfer of wealth from young to olds that just keeps getting worse. The only two ways I'll ever own a house is either winning the lottery or my parents dying. Now, in isolation I'm not massively fussed by this because I don't really think private home ownership is actually a positive (something about the difference between private property & personal property here), but in the society we live in, where rent takes up half or more of your monthly pay cheque? It's bad OP. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 10:28 on Sep 2, 2020 |

Regarde Aduck posted:See I still don't understand why it was so easy for the right to regain control. Did the left massively gently caress up (beyond losing the election) or was this always going to happen? A chunk of the left gave up. They decided that after 4 & a half years that "electability" was more important than "ideological purity". Unfortunately electability has thus far not proven to actually be electable, who knew? (Me, I knew, I loving told everyone) And so after that fracture in the left vote a lot of people decided they can't support Labour because it's infested with liberal politicians who will never stop sabotaging the left so why loving bother? And those people are right. Breath Ray posted:Piss gently caress off already.

crispix posted:I haven't drunk since March and I plan to stay off it 4life. It is really no good for you if you are prone to mental health problems Definitely. I haven't cut it out completely but after a spell of being very poor I went a long time without much, occasional glass of wine or whisky when I visited the folks. I was very much a binge drinker and it had gone hand in hand with my worse self-harm attempts. Now I just don't buy vodka and mostly stick to whisky when I want to drink because a bottle at £35 to £40 is too expensive to want to not savour.

SpaceCommie posted:Lidl single malt is ~£18 and actually quite good. Yeah, but then it's an effort question. I have a Morrisons & Tesco on the way home, I have to go walk 30 minutes from the town centre to get to Lidl. Does Lidl do just the one malt or do they have a Speyside, Highland, Islay etc? Coz I like them all but sometimes you're in the mood for something that tastes like an ashtray & sometimes you want something almost like water (hyperbole but Dalwhinnie is really smooth). Ok, i answered my own question, they have a malt from each of the major styles/regions, & their Islay is apparently a delight. So I guess maybe I should be less lazy & actually go to Lidl one of these days.

I'm probably the only person in the thread who still uses retail shops. Anyway, waiting for the bus home I decided to pop into Game as it's the father's birthday coming up in a week. They had moved it. Now Game has moved inside Sports Direct, a natural fit. Did Mike Ashley just buy up Game when I wasn't looking? Inverness High Street is such a graveyard now

goddamnedtwisto posted:Especially when every non-SCG Labour MP throw themselves into hedges to avoid commenting whenever the Tower Hamlets Council strikes come up. It's probably easier to support the strikers when it is an SNP council, but part of me suspects this is Leonard stretching his muscles to show he's still leader. He was also pretty high up in the Scottish GMB at one point so that's another point. But all that said it is still more than I expect. As you say, the national party leadership certainly wouldn't chat about it, never mind positively. What I'd like to see is this used for a launching point to a discussion about the mere concept of strike action being "illegal" being a particularly nasty Victorian concept that belongs in the dustbin of history with the 12 hour day and child labour. But that's probably wishful thinking

I think a lot of that is true but I think the notion the SNP aren't entirely sincere about wanting Scottish independence is beyond laughable.
