That being said if I had needed actual work done that would probably have been a different story than the one I am telling now. I'm on universal credit, so that's £30 more than the NHS, or half my monthly food budget

If you want a fun fantasy skirmish game for low investment, I would recommend Frostgrave. The book is available cheaply as a PDF, and you can use any miniatures you like. Each player is a wizard + squad of minions heading into a destroyed city to loot it for magic treasure. Sometimes a wandering monster will turn up and wreak havoc on the battlefield. It has a fun meta game between skirmishes where you use your loot to upgrade your wizard's hideout and hire better minions.

The apology tweet that you mentioned also seems to have been deleted. If you don't mind talking about it, what were the contents of the deleted tweets? I looked through a few discussion threads and couldn't find screenshots. Please don't take this as me not believing you BTW. I've mentioned the NIP to a few friends and if they now need to be warned off them I'd like to be able to provide some details. Tarnop fucked around with this message at 08:00 on Dec 13, 2020 |

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:I'm sure this new strain will bode well for Brexit and the willingness of other nations to allow anyone or anything to come from Plague Island. It won't make a difference because it's bullshit. Peston is on twitter now talking about how the new strain spreads faster between kids. So a new strain comes along just in time to give them a perfect excuse to u-turn on Christmas and a perfect excuse to say they were right to keep schools open but they should stay closed in the new year. It's like the genetically engineered bio weapon conspiracy theory except this one was made by a PR firm.

If you accept the premise that the government has been treating this as a PR problem, then their contact tracing effort makes a lot more sense. It allowed them to funnel money to Serco and pals (again) while giving them a source of statistical data that they could use at a time when people were starting to realise that maybe keeping open plan offices, meat packing plants, and other high density workplaces open was a bad idea. "Our contact tracers have found that most transmission occurs in [place we were going to close anyway] and a negligible amount in workplaces." It won't surprise me in the slightest if at some point in the future we find that there was an internal policy to avoid tracing workplace contacts, because they're already covered by the "if someone you work with tests positive then self isolate" rules.

I suspect that if the EU had been informed of this through diplomatic channels as new information emerged, a joint response could have been formulated. Maybe we could have even offered to help other countries get up to speed on tracking the spread. But instead we've spent 4 years pissing down diplomatic channels, and yelling gently caress you we're the best. And when there actually does turn out to be something we're the best at, we beat our chests about how great we are instead of using it to help. No wonder they took the first chance they got to pull up the drawbridge. e: catte

Noxville posted:Tier 3 has actually been pretty effective in West Yorkshire at least, every area is now under 170 cases per 100,000, some significantly so. Even Bradford which was at over 600 mid-November is at 163 as of last week. It’s only failed in how slow the government has been at reacting to changes (most specifically in London and the South East) Half of the period you're referring to wasn't Tier 3 restrictions, it was November lockdown which is the small downward slope on that graph I posted. As soon as they stop using the word lockdown and go back to numbered tiers, fewer people take it seriously.

The idea that Labour have to vote for this because it's better than no deal is ridiculous. The government has a huge majority so if the deal fails it's because they couldn't bring their own MPs on side. This frees the opposition to vote on principle. If it's a bad deal they should explain why and vote against. Starmer has written for every right-wing rag out there since he became leader, so he has the platform. The trouble is he's more interested in avoiding bad headlines than building a position from which to hold the government to account.
