The lead candidate to replace McCluskey as GS has talked a lot more about attempting to repair relations with the Labour right and retreat from the open hostility and frankly he's probably gonna win (considering he's nominated by the united left slate). I think you gotta be real cautious about seeing Unite as the saviour of socialism as it was a historic right union for a long rear end time and the vote share Coyne got at the last election shows that yeah control could slip back to a right slate - I think full disaffiliation probably would clinch that tbh

forkboy84 posted:Disappointing to hear Coyne is the favourite to win. That's terrible. The favourite is probably Turner who is the official nominee of the united left slate who control the majority of the executive council. But there was a big argument about his nomination because he emphasized de-escalating the stand off with Starmer and trying to work with him so the guy that lost to him in the nomination is also running anyway thinking that he's too weak. Coyne hopefully won't do as well as last time cause a big part of his campaign was "gently caress len" accusing him of personal misuse of powers but message does seem to have been received that the UL might need to tack slightly more to the centre after his success at the last vote.

Ataxerxes posted:So, this came across. Does it actually mean anything concrete? Not really anything practical - The LCC is basically a pressure group set up by the loyalist paramilitaries after their various political projects (PUP, UDP) stagnated to try to put pressure on the Unionist parties to engage with them. In practice it's just signalling that they are gonna increase their opposition campaign to the various sea border things which has been in full swing since the start of the year and maybe also cease any get out the vote activities for the Unionist parties come next assembly election (which they have being doing more and more in loyalist estates in the late few years). At most maybe another wave of flag protest like things Edit: Of course it's also a veiled threat of "we might do something now yah ballbegs so don't piss us off" which is probably more the direct intention kustomkarkommando fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Mar 4, 2021 |

sebzilla posted:Is there a different between serial and spree? Where does "mass murderer" come into it? Mass murders are usually defined as more than 4 people in a single location at a single time, spree killers are series of murders with no cooling off period across multiple locations, serial killers are usually defined by working in cycles with cooling off periods between murders So kill 10 people at the post office your a mass murder, kill 10 people while driving between post offices your a spree killer, kill 10 postmen over the course of a year your a serial killer.

Noxville posted:So I keep seeing this shared on Twitter and correct me if I’m wrong, but this is literally just that these companies are claiming money to pay furloughed workers rather than firing them, entirely as the scheme is intended? Yes. The criticisms voiced in that article are that it was profligate spending we couldn't afford and rather than furlough being universal it should have been limited and more targeted, that FOREIGN billionaires should have picked up the tab for their employees (because we all know they would do that ahem) quote:The shadow chancellor, Anneliese Dodds, said: “Labour called from the outset of this crisis for targeted wage support to protect jobs and businesses, but the chancellor refused to listen.

Tesseraction posted:Yeah that was one of the things I looked up and it's because they came from South Africa (likewise you can get limes of the same slurred denom). Apparently Churchill was fond of the term too. The limes come from south east asia and the leaves are now really really common in recipes as they are a staple of Thai and Indonesian food. There has been a bit of debate about changing the name in English to something else - as far as anyone can work out it's unrelated to the African usage of the word and was just a mangling of Infidel Limes adopted from Arabic traders by the Portuguese South Africa usually just calls them Thai Limes

However, if you dig a little into his old revisions of his site there's this beauty, whereby you can leave everything to him in a will. It reads like a grifting televangelist because he is a grifting evangelist Buy your own Gammons leather bound bible with detailed notes from the very thought of Gammons for only $300 https://www.pgmi.org/product/bible/
