Or, more charitably: that people in the North do not care about the issue, as evidenced by Tory MPs not caring about the issue. This is the most charitable, value-neutral reading I can muster, and is still horrible. e(fb): forkboy84 posted:Northerns are dumb racists who are mad Labour are wasting time on racism instead of things that impact them personally because of one geezer I spoke to with lightning rune tattoos on his bald head on Stockport High Street

On the one hand, there could potentially be some adverse long term consequences that it isn't possible to test for in the short term, but, on the other, if we don't take it then tens of thousands of people will die.

Red Oktober posted:My local dentist told me they weren’t doing NHS treatment “due to COVID”, but those very same dentists could treat me privately if I wanted to pay. Just as bluntly as that. Back in Lockdown 1 I guess it kind of made sense to shut the tips for a bit so people stay home, but hmm it's now perfectly fine to go out to recycle, or to pay for disposal, but not to do anything that affects the Council's tonnage, that's some dubious logic right there

Points aren't so much gamification as a way to pass the responsibility of making your employees feel appreciated onto the employees themselves because the boss can't be hosed, imo Place I used to work just had an "employee incentive trophy" that came with a voucher thingy you could spend anywhere. One time I won it, because I billed over £55k that month (of which my bosses got over 97%, natch). That £20 gift card probably did more to radicalise me than a thousand pages of Marx. e: I have not read 1000 pages of Marx, dude's a snooze Borrovan fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Dec 7, 2020 |

When I was briefly homeless I'd go into Sainsbury as soon as it opened every morning, have a wash in the men's room, then just brazenly fill my pockets with fruit & give the security guy a friendly hello on the way out I think people just aren't paid enough to give a poo poo about shoplifters

Regarde Aduck posted:Good luck. Here in Wales no one wears them and funnily enough cases are rising rapidly.  Could be because everyone's wearing them to go do their Christmas shopping in loving great crowds though tbfSemi-related, I had to go into town last week, something that's really been grating on me: I'm hearing all these casual mentions on the news of how it's young people doing the spreading vs old people being very sensible. Guaranteed when you see someone being a right div they're over 60. The amount of times I stopped to casually look in a shop window & when I turned around there'd be some unmasked pensioner stood 4 loving inches from my face. One bloke walked right into me, then gave me a friendly clasp on the back whilst he said sorry

Sure is a shame that the economic damage from Covid is going to offset the glorious boon from Brexit, which was actually a good thing all along, and the Covid damage would have been a lot worse had we not Brexited, all the bad stuff is due to Covid and those loving scroungers with their furlough payments, so we will be gutting *spins wheel* disability benefit to pay for it, loving scroungers

therattle posted:Maybe I am being a terrible racist fascist etc but I don't think that deporting foreign offenders for genuinely serious offenders (basically murder, rape, serious assault/GBH/ABH, attempted murder) is a terrible thing, provided that it doesn't break up families, remove them from their children, etc (which means that in practice it would be very limited, which is fine). (I believe that the current practice is that someone can be deported if they receive a sentence of 12 months or greater, which I think is way too low a bar.) If I am wrong please explain why - I am open to being persuaded. Even if there was some way to get around this though (there isn't), that doesn't get around the first point, that it is an intrinsically racist policy because it applies criminal punishments selectively to foreign nationals only (and also, in effect, people who look a bit like foreign nationals, iykwim  )Gonzo McFee posted:You can just see one of Julie's journo mates telling her "See the trick is to say something that's controversial but deniable.

The trouble is how to get out of it though, because saying no at this point would also probably piss off your sister, confuse your niece, and make you feel like poo poo. imo, this was an unfair situation for you to be put in - would a heartfelt chat about how you really don't want to upset anyone but genuinely can't think of what to say without treading on anyone's toes be enough to persuade sister/sister's kids to bail you out?
