The government totally abdicated all responsibility pretty much instantly and openly and nakedly reneged on drat near every promise made at the start of lockdown. A whopping percentage of the cabinet has violated lockdown protocols with zero consequence, and Bojo himself treated getting covid like some frightfully clever jape. We here, as goons, by and large are okay with sitting in and poo poo posting, but for a lot of people going in the sesh and socializing is their primary release mechanism. Oh and a lot of people got the feet kicked out from under their festive season at the last minute, purely because the government couldn't be arsed doing anything that might help a prole. 2020 was, by and large, a never ending festival of he rich and powerful in the UK going "lol gently caress you, society is a sham go gently caress yourself" while being deliberately vague about what shape the future might take. In the face of that the surprising thing, to me, isn't that a few people have decided to go "gently caress it" and party, it's that such a large percentage are still respecting covid protocols.

Vitamin P's a bit all over the place but the BLM protests definitely didn't help in terms of compliance. Your average punter doesn't go "oh well they're outside and mostly masked and you can't always plan your flashpoints in a long overdue social movement", they go "here they're out doing stuff and I've been sat in watching Netflix and our Sharon's eldest got fined for going to that beach barbecue, gently caress this poo poo". And when the media touched on the whole "wait, covid though?" aspect of the protests it did tend to be a bit peremptory and "it's fine, stfu" in tone. Which is a failure of our garbage media, rather than the protestors, but if you're a spluttery reactionary type that's gonna elude you.

S&TC started out pretty cool and then turned into "4 impossibly rich monsters whine about their non-problems" before launching into absolute insanity with the movies, one of which was so insanely bad, classist and racist that it made Mark Kermode break down and sing the Internationale at a perplexed Simon Mayo.

Ewan posted:I don't get the whole rationing out a weirdly small amount of pasta thing. You can buy 1kg of pasta from Sainsburys for 58p. And presumably if you are a bulk purchaser you can get it for even cheaper. So even 4kg of pasta is going to cost you just over £2.... Tories grudgingly realise they might need to feed poors. Tories give contract to crony. Crony skims lion's share of money for self. Crony dumps task onto procurement. Procurement is totally unused to this kind of buying, since they're usually a catering company. Procurement probably makes effort to tell Crony, but the money's already been socketed in the Caymans and anyway gently caress you I've done my 5 hours this week I'm orf until Thursday next. Procurement fucks it up, kicks it down to middle management. Middle management has pallets of random shite arrive with little to no warning. Middle management kicks it down to ground level staff. Ground level staff are given a big random pile of assorted shite and told to divide it amongst [x] with 0 guidance and, since nobody knows what the gently caress they're doing, you end up with these incredibly odd divisions.

Although broadly a force for good, Monroe is also a habitual liar, small scale grifter and perpetually exploding drama bomb. Heart kinda sank when I saw her pop up on the fringes of this whole thing, since she's basically a big glowing red weak spot for any lazy right-wing hack to aim for.

I used to work for Johnsons Workwear, who did the laundry for that Lochfyne fellow, and he is a loving grade a bell end. Would phone up last thing on a Friday, without fail, cursing and swearing and stressing out the office ladies while trying to wangle a discount. Was also constantly trying to nick things out the lorry. And went bankrupt and unbankrupt about a bajillion times.
