This article about beach huts in Walton-on-the-Naze might be one of the most stupid things I've ever read, and I actually read that Laura Kuenssberg article stanning for Boris ( lol, as if that narrows it down )quote:Vicky Gunn, 42, had a busy and stressful life as an accountant when she bought a beach hut in Walton-on-the-Naze in 2014. What the gently caress is wrong with this plagued island of fuckwits?

More to the point, how old is the woman Bill has presumably been having an affair with? Is he going down the Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson route of finding someone young enough to fall for his bullshit, or the Neil Young route of finding someone who was at least able to write their own name when he was relevant? Also, lol at the hospitality sector losing their High Court battle against the Government over when they can open. Imagine being led by the sort of bloodthirsty cunts who're more concerned that people will realise that home-cooked food is both cheaper and better than the slop they serve at their high-priced gastropubs, than the thousands of people who might die if lockdown ends prematurely? Actually, don't imagine that. I wouldn't want you to get ideas

I don't particularly care whether my food tastes good, as long as it doesn't taste bad. I like meat, but could do without it if needed. But I'm also too lazy and unfussed about food in general to waste any time finding other things to eat. I like ______, so I'll keep eating ______ while it's available.

Considering Starmer had to be persuaded to run as an MP in the first place, and then only ran as Leader because everyone kept telling him how good he'd be, none of this is a surprise. The man is utterly incapable of doing anything that requires independent thought. And the fact that he continually seems to lean on the stupidest, worst-informed people in the room for advice is just the cherry on top.

I think medics generally have more effective union representation than non-medics do. Unison, who I'm a member of, are loving useless. They were incredibly enthusiastic about the dogshit 2018 settlement and have shown no contrition at all for selling thousands of NHS staff down the river on a piece of poo poo pay deal. Which - don't get me wrong - the worst paid NHS staff did very well from that pay deal. The abolition of Agenda for Change Band 1 posts has been overdue for years, and the uplift to pay for Bands 2-4 (and the first half of Band 5) was also good. But being told it was a great deal, when it was far from it still rankles. Doctors have a more visible presence in the media, and notably they were able to negotiate a better deal than Agenda for Change staff got in 2018. It still wasn't a good deal, but it was better. And doctors saying "We don't get paid enough" still carries more weight than nurses saying the same (which carries more weight than Allied Health Professionals, who may as well not exist when it comes to the media), particularly when the public perception is still that nurses just go around wiping patient's arses and looking pretty for the doctors.

Cos any sort of community cohesion, knowing your neighbours, organising events with/for them, is Very Much Praxis. The BBC News article says that a couple of people got involved initially and then they just phoned everyone they knew in the area and it snowballed from there. Which is pretty cool.

The Perfect Element posted:Also loving hell : that bit in the guardian article about how priti Patel has a pathological need to always say / do the TOUGHEST thing possible, or the MEANEST thing she can, no matter What, regardless of the consequences. The Guardian piece was worth reading. The take-home facts weren't surprising, though: - The media is massively racist - The government, therefore, has to be massively racist so that they don't appear weak by comparison - Civil servants working within the Home Office are a bunch of craven sadists who will gleefully throw victims of the worst abuse imaginable into a pit filled with their abusers, if it gives them a chance of being promoted Really, what the piece reinforced was that the entire political sphere revolving around the written press is a loving cancer on the country. The only people who consider the written press to be relevant are MPs and other media sources. People are getting needlessly thrown into Serco-run detention facilities and raped for years on the basis of Paul loving Dacre being scared of everyone who isn't the same sallow shade of pasty-white as he is.

Me neither, but I think the point was that it doesn't really give them an option either way. Which I don't entirely agree with either - the relationship between the press and the Tories has generally been exceptionally cozy for the last 13 years (give or take), so if the Tories had wanted to push a new immigrants narrative, they could have done so. I dunno, it's the Guardian - I doubt any of us are going to agree with the whole thing.

It's nice that the police will investigate their own officers for hugging protesters and expressing support for oppressed minorities, but won't investigate officers when they beat the living poo poo out of peaceful protesters or infiltrate protests as agent provocateurs to give them a reason to crack open the tear gas grenades.

I'm pretty sure the whole point of having at least half-a-dozen groups with similar names, all 'linked' to Labour, is to make it really hard to remember which ones are run by shitlords and which ones aren't. Aside from Jewdas - none of the shitlords have even a fraction of the self-awareness you'd need to call your group that.

There will never be a left-wing media outlet that reaches a wide audience. The existing right-wing media outlets will strangle anything that tries to emerge in the crib, in much the same way as they're doing with the BBC now (albeit this is them strangling a leper). The BBC can be made better - if a left-wing government can get into power, it could pass legislation that could do a much better job of enforcing some sort of neutral/balanced reporting. If you get rid of the BBC now, it'll be far harder in future to create anything that can amplify a left-wing message, and all the public will be able to hear is the fascist press running their usual screeds.

I've been checking the numbers my hospital trust employer has been releasing daily, and they've been consistently very low for the last few weeks - particularly the 'new infections' measure. And this is in an area with low uptake of both vaccines and testing, where you'd assume it to be worse. So I don't think it's going to be catastrophic, but I'd be surprised if there aren't more local lockdowns.

Chances are: a form was either filled in incorrectly, or was submitted incorrectly, or received incorrectly, or processed incorrectly, or lost at any point in the chain. Or it's a non-priority at the bottom of a pile of priority tasks. The NHS usually works these things out, but it can take time. The pandemic probably isn't helping, since any overpayment - I'm pretty sure - needs a human to look at it before it's sent out, less some porter has a heart attack on being asked to pay back £10k. As others have said - tell your line manager and get in contact with your union. They should know who it can be escalated to so that it'll actually get dealt with.

It's an idea that seems to be getting a bit more mileage in recent years. Geoff Marshall did a video on a similar scheme somewhere in South London, last year. The general idea I get is that it can work really well in relatively small geographical areas where demand is steady but not particularly high. And where 'demand responsive' routes sit alongside more traditional routes (which can absorb the majority of the passengers).
