Love to not actually do any investigative journalism in case I get removed from the WhatsApp briefing group and I get told off by the government :-(

hmm if only there were some people who were inside the wards and could tell us what they're like

though that would require a journalist talking to a member of the public so obviously it'll never happen

According to the survey of more than 22,000 people, conducted by the research data company Focaldata, using the multilevel regression and post-stratification (MRP) method that is said to be more than accurate than conventional polling

hmm I wonder who says it's more accurate than conventional polling

maybe the company that carried out the poll? nah couldn't be

I'd also like to know if a ford transit van full of dildos is a normal amount of dildos for producing a pornography video, because it is a lot more than I would have expected

doubt it will ever be a question on The Chase, mind

maybe if they do a Dutch version idk

assuming 2 dildos per person that's minimum a few hundred people so I think an impractical number for video purposes

I'm assuming it was some sort of sex expo, a sexpo if you will

I live in rural western norway, and while it might be NIMBY I think it's incredibly depressing to see what it does to the nature I grew up hiking in. I find a hydropower drat much less intrusive than endless rows of giant buzzsaws

I gotta say, I didn't expect this to be the thread where wanting to preserve nature in the face of limitless global growth would be met with harsh hostility

why is it more important to preserve the nature of your hike than it is the icecaps at the north pole, or the African farmland threatened by encroaching desert, or the hundreds of thousands of miles of coastline around the world?

Why are you all focusing on wind turbines on hills anyway. Offshore wind is where it's at. Just build gently caress off massive wind turbine clusters off shore in the windy seas and we all good. Build some nuclear plants for your base load too and you have a green, sustainable mix. Maybe a couple of back up 'clean' (yes I know it's not completely clean) gas, just in case for those cold wintery days of surge energy.

And for the sake of fairness, we should recognise that the UK actually has a pretty good and progressive energy mix, and it is getting better every year.

why not, and hear me out on this, build both? particularly as offshore turbines are a hell of a lot more difficult to engineer than onshore ones

maybe if we get plenty of both then we won't even need those gas plants you mention

Why? Genuinely curious as iirc I'm sure I've seen you post about working in imports etc before.

The basic concept of this that an overseas seller should be subject to the same tax burden in the UK as a UK seller seems surprisingly controversial to the UKMT.

why should an overseas seller have to pay tax in the UK as well as in their country of origin?

Julio Cruz

peanut- posted:

It's VAT so the overseas business is not paying any tax. They're collecting it from the UK customer and remitting it to HMRC.

but this still means that two lots of sales tax are generated on the same sale, why should the UK benefit from a sale that takes place in another country?

Why should UK businesses get undercut 20% by others who don't need to pay VAT?

Or do they?! I don't get it

UK businesses pay VAT, overseas businesses pay their local sales tax(es) so no-one is automatically undercutting anyone

the problem is that now the UK wants to get their slice of sales which have nothing to do with the UK except for the customer address on the box

Up here in Aberdeen I work in Starbucks and our two central stores are as busy, if not busier, than before this 'lockdown' was announced. Suddenly families and other folk are out in droves for their "exercise walks" which just happen to all pass by our stores. Its obscene and just makes me think no-one is paying attention at all and we'll see that number will continue to go up, up, up. I'm ashamed we are even keeping the doors open to be honest, and if I could I'd have my store closed until February and beyond, but alas money needs to be made and we'll skirt the line until explicitly told: "Stop"!

Asda, while cheap, are also incredibly poo poo.

Half your items wont turn up and when they get there it's 50/50 on whether the delivery driver claims they can't bring the food to your door.

Last time i ordered from them, I was a city center flat and the guy forced me to come down and stand in the middle of a busy road while he handed me the bags from the back of the van. Never went back to them.

Sainsbury's had the best drivers of all when i lived there. They were always just so nice and helped unpack the trays and everything too when they brought them up. Hopefully they were paid better but probably not.

if I'm a delivery driver there is no loving way I'm carrying boxes of shopping up to someone's top floor flat
