Even with the massive PR campaign behind them I don't get why anyone would love this bland, charisma devoid family of rich wankers who's family tree resembles a double helix. It's part of the Great British Institution™ and is hammered in from an early age as one of the few things we have left to be proud of. The others being racist sitcoms and World War 2. Lmao the state of this loving island:

Bobby Deluxe posted:I get the impression that this is just a one off ruling and not a statute, but it'd be nice if some kind of press standards body decided to use the ruling to justify why this should always be the case. Have they been told how to word it at all? I can imagine something along the lines of "ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE FORCE MAIL APOLOGY" if they're given any leeway.

The mood in this thread absolutely plummeted after 2019 and the final hope-crushing. It's just been getting steadily worse since then - no one has much to be happy about right now and probably won't for a while.

ThomasPaine posted:I remember a few years ago I passed a lady in the street and her purse fell out her handbag but she didn't notice, I picked it up and turned round to give it back. I said excuse me, no response, said it three or four more times while following her (she was still walking wherever she was walking) to nothing. Ended up physically tapping her on the shoulder and handing it back. I still remember the look of palpable relief on her face when she realised what was actually happening and at the time I attributed that to just being glad she'd not lost her purse, but now I look back it's pretty clear there was a lot more to it than that and I feel pretty guilty. Not sure what else I could have done in the situation though tbh or what I could do differently were the same thing to happen today. I suppose saying "you dropped your purse" would have been more likely to get a response than just trying to get her attention.

Miftan posted:There's still gonna be plenty of people who will be very comfortable once their parents die and leave them a house or 3. Plenty for whom that's not gonna happen, but as we can clearly see, not everyone has to be comfortable, just about, oh let's call it 40% of the voting population? I'd like to think that inheriting a home won't suddenly turn every young person and leftie into a FYGM type. Maybe I'm just being optimistic and naïve but I have to cling to the belief that my generation and those after will be better. Not to mention the fact that inheritance is going to get more and more diluted over the next few generations as living costs rise and people living longer need to pay out the nose for more care with dwindling state support.

I can't think of any other retailer or restaurant that simultaneously overcharges and devalues its own products to such a huge extent as Dominos and Pizza Hut. I assume they must make a lot off people willing to pay full price, but it must mostly be dickheads with too much cash who happily spend £500 on 30 pizzas for a party or to show off.

Under 30s are never going to get it en masse. The pandemic will be declared over and forgotten as soon as the 40+ demographic is fully vaccinated and that'll be the last we hear about it.

Sad Panda posted:I was surprised myself. It was shared by a teacher in the school I work at. Not sure if it's meant to be used but a coworker got it tonight. Ethically I'm certainly not high risk, but cancelled appointments with <24 hour notice aren't going to all get filled so it seems reasonable to me. Will see why they say when I go tomorrow. Ethically speaking I don't think there's an issue - anyone booking their own appointments now through that kind of system will have no more need for the vaccine than you, so it's a hell of a lot better if you have it than if it went to waste.
