I'm also in the "quit labour and has been telling anyone who will listen to quit too" gang and have been for awhile so maybe someone could also remove me from the list of clp members thanks in advance Of course if anyone is looking for guidance about their labour party membership then they should A: cancel their direct debit B: send a resignation email C: crack one out The order of which is up for debate but I feel it's a solid plan none the less

Good meal before you drink, lots of water during and after If you gently caress that up and are suffering/are suffering regardless due to heroics, then a greasy fry-up will at least help your morale I don't really miss drinking but I especially don't miss hangovers- especially the multiple day ones granted by hitting thirty

So I'm sick with something my son brought back from school in the first full week back- fairly sure it ain't the rona, just a productive cough/runny nose/lethargy with no temperature First day he was off I called the school to let them know and was told if it was "just a sniffle or a bit of a cough" and he wasn't feeling too bad he could come in regardless, which we declined because he's ill Yesterday when calling in again, a different staff member was strongly suggesting we call 111 just in case and hunker down regardless- and was mystified at the prospect of us being told previously that coughs/runny noses in kids should be ignored to the point I'm fairly sure she thought we were lying to her I'm obviously feeling confident and reassured by this centralised, consistent and logical approach to covid, which is obviously having the desired results around this great nation

So my eldest kid is also now off sick from school and because they did a cough the school won't let them back till a covid test is done and negative- I checked the website and lo and behold- no drive in test sites found, no walk in test sites found, no home tests available. My son's school haven't said a word about testing and I'm fairly sure they are expecting him to return without one.

Now on day 4 of trying to get a covid test for my eldest kid- yesterday there was a slot 30 miles away! In Kent. Which is on the other side of the thames river. I don't have a boat nor an aeroplane, so that's about a 200 mile round trip through a lot of potential lovely traffic, and by the time I had quickly looked it up on maps the slots were gone anyway. Checking multiple times a day, and that's been the only thing so far. We don't need a test, but we have to have a test, but we can't have the test, unless I pay gently caress knows how much for a test, which might just end up in the bin anyway because lol hand of the free market. How loving british.

labour have given me precisely zero reasons to vote for them since soggy kiev took charge, and plenty of reasons not to "we will kill slightly less poors on average, and sometimes we will look fairly sad about doing so- hence we are the only moral choice" isn't really a vote winner with me tbqh, it sounds more like a preamble designed to let sociopath politicians stroke themselves off in the near future about how they made "hard decisions" for "the national interest" right before they retire to whatever loving cushy directorship they have lined up guess my family values must be too broken to appreciate this new leadership direction, or maybe I wasn't exposed to a loving massive union fleg with "britain first" written on it at a key developmental stage of childhood

Happens about once a month or so, sometimes it's two chinooks, sometimes there's apaches too, probably practicing deployment/evacuation of poo poo in an emergency- you can stuff a lot of squaddies in the back of one at a pinch At least once it was literally an army general on the piss with their staff using it as a taxi tho

There's literally zero protection for that wreck other than a few rusty signs and a dilapidated buoy or two, and tourist boat trips went there regularly I mean I think technically some military police would come out on a dinghy from shoebury range but if someone really wanted to gently caress with it, they could probably do whatever they wanted in the time it took for someone to notice and get anyone out there to look

Filboid Studge posted:Is that unusual? Is it that all these folks’ grandads were too young to get sent off, and are passing on folk myths? As a kid growing up in the 80s, my great-uncles were full of wild, vivid and bloody war stories and were gleeful and expressive narrators of said tales- "ah, we told him not to cross that gap but an '88 got him and it was such a mess" etc My grandad had stories too, but never of anything approaching combat. Stories about friends getting in trouble with military police (or managing to run away), maybe some fun adventure- distinct from the war, about the italian man he befriended afterwards while waiting to demob. My great uncles worked in supply and catering, likely didn't see much of any combat and came back from the war with lots of black market derived cash and bravado. My grandad was infantry at monte cassino and came back with more scars than you could count, and ptsd that had him jumping behind garden walls if a car backfired. From what my dad could find from records, most of his original platoon didn't come back. The narrative of the conflict was almost entirely written after the fact by folk with mindsets like my great-uncles and it quickly became a vast industry of films, comics, toys and models etc that continued for decades. It became a national myth, sanitised for mass consumption and normalised beyond context until we have generations of people that get turgid and misty-eyed at the sheer sight of some union jacks and a poppy and oooo look a spitfire too, but are utterly and wilfully blind to the resurrection of open fascism. They dote on poppies much like nazis treat the swastika- performative display of a revered symbol that is now entirely removed from the original meaning, more a statement about compliance and tacit agreement with the established narrative. The boomer generation were raised entirely in this fog of leaded petrol fumes and constant appeals to live up to the jingoistic national myth- and they assumed the role and regalia of a fictional "greatest generation" by some hosed up mental osmosis process, and, well, here we are now, with politicians openly talking about how and where new concentration camps should be set up and ensuring the state security services have the power to rape, torture and murder without risk of prosecution. Just so long as no-one puts on a swastika arm band or speaks in a horrendously bad german accent like in the war films, it can't possibly be fascism. Pretty hosed up imo

Reminder to anyone stockpiling- start a spreadsheet and enter in what you buy and when it expires and maybe what box/shelf it occupies That way if you don't end up using it, you know what needs using/donating first without having to go through a fuckload of groceries tin by tin It turned topping up my previous brexit stash into an absolute breeze

Trickjaw posted:O great knowing thread, the usual broadband question, I'm afraid: Any good deals out there, with at least a semblance of reliability? I am on Post Office and its laughably crap. I hate to say it, but think BT might be best, and looking through Virgin reviews I think Myra Hindley had more fans. I'm on virgin broadband- once I switched the incredibly lovely router/modem into just a modem and got my own router for WiFi stuff (30 quid or so tplink thing, next to zero effort/knowledge needed to do it) it hasn't given me a single issue whatsoever. Before that, I needed to reset the poo poo router/modem pretty much daily, and the wifi struggled to reach stuff in the same room with direct line of sight.

I'm really fortunate in that me and the missus had the time to devote to teaching our kids at home, and that we have multiple computers available for them to work at simultaneously etc- a lot of families aren't in the same position And it was still really challenging because teaching is a loving hard job. Even when you can threaten turning off the wifi or hide the chocolate biscuits. It takes time and effort and resources that aren't being made available and simply won't be made available because the government can blame parents and schools through the press for free- or claim concerns for the mental health of kids after refusing to do anything to fix childhood mental health services for a decade+

If the propaganda efforts weren't as polished here we would see much more active state repression but it simply isn't necessary. Instead, millions of folk walk into a newsagents and gladly pay to be lied to about liars, drive home while listening to another tranche of corporate state authorised bullshit on the radio then sit in front of the TV for another dose direct to the eyeballs before getting on facebook to have it validated by a bunch of other blathering dipshits and automatically amplified by bots. Why bother going to the expense and bother of running camps for say, muslim or trans folks, when you can turn chunks of the population rabidly angry at them with polished and practiced ease and repress them in their own homes and streets? This whole damned nation is a prison camp- and like the gulags in siberia- there aren't many guards because there's nowhere to loving run to.
